< Jesajas 6 >
1 Tanī gadā, kad ķēniņš Uzija nomira, tad es To Kungu redzēju sēžam uz augsta un uzcelta godības krēsla, un Viņa (drēbju) vīles piepildīja Dieva namu.
In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord seated in his place, high and lifted up, and the Temple was full of the wide skirts of his robe.
2 Serafi stāvēja augšā ap viņu; ikvienam bija seši spārni; ar diviem tas apsedza savu vaigu, un ar diviem tas apsedza savas kājas, un ar diviem tas skrēja.
Over him were the winged ones: every one had six wings; two for covering his face, two for covering his feed, and two for flight.
3 Un tie cits uz citu saucu un sacīja: svēts, svēts, svēts ir Tas Kungs Cebaot, visa zeme ir pilna viņa godības!
And one said in a loud voice to another, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of armies: all the earth is full of his glory.
4 Un sliekšņa pamati trīcēja no tām saucēju balsīm, un tas nams tapa pilns dūmu.
And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke.
5 Tad es sacīju: Ak vai, man! Jo man jāiet bojā, jo es esmu vīrs nešķīstām lūpām un dzīvoju starp ļaudīm, kam nešķīstas lūpas; jo manas acis redzējušas to Ķēniņu, To Kungu Cebaot!
Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.
6 Tad viens no tiem serafiem atskrēja pie manis, un viņa rokā bija degoša ogle, ko viņš ar stangām bija ņēmis no altāra.
Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.
7 Un viņš ar to aizskāra manu muti un sacīja: redzi, šī tavas lūpas aizskārusi, tā tavs noziegums no tevis atņemts, un tavi grēki salīdzināti.
And after touching my mouth with it, he said, See, your lips have been touched with this; and your evil is taken away, and you are made clean from sin.
8 Un es dzirdēju Tā Kunga balsi sakām: ko Es sūtīšu un kas mums ies? Tad es sacīju: redzi, še es esmu, sūti mani.
And the voice of the Lord came to my ears, saying, Whom am I to send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, send me.
9 Tad Viņš sacīja: ej un saki uz šiem ļaudīm: dzirdēt dzirdiet, bet nesaprotiet, un redzēt redziet, bet neņemiet vērā.
And he said, Go, and say to this people, You will go on hearing, but learning nothing; you will go on seeing, but without getting wiser.
10 Apcietini šo ļaužu sirdi un dari viņu ausis biezas un apstulbo viņu acis, ka tie savām acīm neredz un savām ausīm nedzird un ar savu sirdi nesaprot un neatgriežas un netop dziedināti.
Make the hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.
11 Tad es sacīju: cik ilgi, Kungs? Un Viņš sacīja: līdz kamēr pilsētas būs izpostītas, ka vairs nav iedzīvotāja, un nami, ka vairs nav cilvēka, un zeme nopostīta par tuksnesi.
Then I said, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely waste,
12 Jo Tas Kungs cilvēkus aizdzīs tālu nost, un atstātu vietu būs daudz zemes vidū.
And the Lord has taken men far away, and there are wide waste places in the land.
13 Un ja tanī vēl desmitā tiesa paliks, tad tā atkal ies postā. Bet kā ozols un kā liepa, kam celms paliek, kad to nocērt, - svēts dzimums būs tas celms.
And even if there is still a tenth part in it, it will again be burned, like a tree of the woods whose broken end is still in the earth after the tree has been cut down (the holy seed is the broken end).
