Jesajas 61
1 Tā Kunga Dieva Gars ir uz manis, jo Tas Kungs mani svaidījis, nabagiem sludināt prieka vēsti, mani sūtījis, sagrauztas sirdis dziedināt, cietuma ļaudīm sludināt atsvabināšanu un saistītiem pilnīgu atraisīšanu,
The Spirit of Yahweh [our] Lord is on me; he has appointed [MTY] me to bring good news to those who are oppressed, to comfort those who are discouraged, to free [all] those who are [as though they are chained/tied] [DOU] [by the wrong things that they continually do].
2 Pasludināt Tā Kunga žēlastības gadu un mūsu Dieva atriebšanas dienu, iepriecināt visus noskumušos,
He has sent me to tell those who mourn [about the members of their families who died] (OR, [who are still in Babylonia)] that now is the time when Yahweh will act kindly [toward his people]; now is the time when our God will (get revenge on/punish) [their enemies].
3 Tiem apbēdinātiem iekš Ciānas uzlikt un dāvināt glītumu pelnu vietā, prieka eļļu skumības vietā, skaistas drēbes izmisuša prāta vietā, ka tie top nosaukti stipri taisnības koki, Tā Kunga iedēsti Viņam par godu.
To [all] those in Jerusalem who mourn, he will give flower necklaces [to wear]; instead of ashes [that they put on their heads to show that they are sad]; he will cause them to rejoice [MTY] instead of being sad; he will enable them to be [MET] happy instead of being discouraged. They will be called “people who continually do what is right, people who are [like tall/strong] oak [trees] that Yahweh has planted” to show others that he is very great.
4 Un tie uztaisīs vecās posta vietas un uzcels senlaiku drupas un atjaunos sagruvušas pilsētas, kas jau priekš cilšu ciltīm bijušas postā.
[Those who return from Babylon] will rebuild the cities that [the soldiers from Babylon] tore down. [Even though] those cities have been destroyed and abandoned for many years, they will be restored/rebuilt.
5 Un svešinieki stāvēs un ganīs jūsu lopus, un svešuma bērni būs jūsu arāji un jūsu vīna dārznieki.
Foreigners will be the ones who will take care of your flocks [of sheep and goats], and plow your fields and take care of your grapevines.
6 Bet jūs tapsiet saukti Tā Kunga priesteri, uz jums sacīs: mūsu Dieva kalpi. Jūs ēdīsiet pagānu spēku un mantosiet viņu godību.
But you [are the ones who] will be like the priests to serve Yahweh, to work for God. You will enjoy valuable goods [that are brought] from other nations, and you will be happy that those things have become yours.
7 Sava kauna vietā jūs dabūsiet divkārtīgi (godu), un negoda vietā tie gavilēs par savu tiesu. Jo tie mantos savā zemē divkārtīgu daļu, un tiem būs mūžīga līksmība.
Previously you were shamed and disgraced, but now you will have great blessings; previously [your enemies] humbled you, but now you will have many good things; you will be happy because of being in your land again, and you will rejoice forever.
8 Jo Es Tas Kungs mīlu tiesu un ienīstu netaisnu laupījumu. Un Es tiem dodu viņu algu pēc taisnības un daru ar tiem mūžīgu derību.
“I, Yahweh, am very pleased with those/judges who decide matters fairly; I hate [those who illegally] take things from other people. I will surely repay my people (for/because of) all that they have suffered [in the past]. And I will make an everlasting agreement with them.
9 Un viņu dzimums taps pazīstams starp pagāniem, un viņu bērnu bērni starp tautām; visi, kas tos redzēs, tos pazīs, jo tie ir dzimums, ko Tas Kungs svētījis.
Their descendants will be honored by people of other nations [DOU]. Everyone who sees them will know that they are a nation that [I], Yahweh, have blessed.”
10 Es priecājos ar lielu prieku iekš Tā Kunga, mana dvēsele līksmojās iekš mana Dieva. Jo Viņš mani apģērbis ar pestīšanas drēbēm, ar taisnības svārkiem Viņš mani apsedzis, tā kā brūtgāns ģērbjas svētku glītumā, un kā brūte greznojās savā skaistā apģērbā.
I greatly rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]! I am happy, because he has saved me and declared that I am righteous; [those blessings are like] [MET] a robe that he has put on me. I am [as happy as] [SIM] a bridegroom in his wedding suit, or a bride wearing jewels.
11 Jo kā zeme izdod savus augļus, un kā dārzs liek uzdīgt savam sējumam, tā Tas Kungs Dievs liks izplaukt taisnībai un slavai priekš visām tautām.
Just as [seeds sown in] a garden sprout from the soil and grow [DOU], Yahweh [our] God will cause [people of] all nations to act righteously, with the result that they will praise him for doing that.
