Jesajas 64
1 Ak kaut Tu pārplēstu debesis un nonāktu zemē, ka kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!
Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might flow down at your presence,
2 Tā kā uguns iededzina žagarus, un kā uguns ūdeni dara uzverdam, - ka Tavs vārds tiktu zināms Taviem pretiniekiem, ka pagāni drebētu Tavā priekšā;
As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
3 Caur tiem brīnumiem, ko Tu dari mums negaidot, kaut Tu nonāktu zemē, kaut kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!
When you did terrible things which we looked not for, you came down, the mountains flowed down at your presence.
4 Nemūžam nav dzirdēts, nedz samanīts, nedz acīm redzēts cits Dievs, kā vien Tu, kas tā dara tam, kas uz Viņu gaida.
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that waits for him.
5 Tu nāci tiem tuvu, kas taisnību dara ar prieku, kas Tevi piemin uz Taviem ceļiem. Redzi, Tu esi apskaities, tāpēc ka mēs esam grēkojuši, un ilgi tā esam palikuši; vai tapsim izglābti?
You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are angry; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 Mēs visi esam kā nešķīsti, un visa mūsu taisnība kā sārņaina drēbe. Un mēs visi novīstam kā lapa, un mūsu grēki mūs aizrauj kā vējš.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 Un neviena nav, kas Tavu Vārdu piesauc, kas uzmostas un tveras pie Tevis. Jo Tu apslēpi Savu vaigu no mums un liec mums nīcin iznīkt caur mūsu grēkiem.
And there is none that calls upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 Nu tad, Kungs, Tu esi mūsu Tēvs, mēs esam māls, un Tu esi mūsu darītājs, un mēs visi esam Tavas rokas darbs.
But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
9 Neapskaisties, Kungs, tik ļoti, un nepiemini noziegumu mūžīgi, redzi, uzlūko jel, ka mēs visi esam Tavi ļaudis.
Be not angry very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we plead to you, we are all your people.
10 Tavas svētās pilsētas palikušas par tuksnesi, Ciāna par tuksnesi, Jeruzāleme par postažu.
Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Mūsu svētais un skaistais Dieva nams, kur mūsu tēvi Tevi slavējuši, ir sadedzināts ar uguni, un viss mūsu acu prieks ir bojā gājis.
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Kungs, vai Tu būsi ciets, šās lietas redzēdams? Vai Tu klusu cietīsi, un mūs tik ļoti apbēdināsi?
Will you refrain yourself for these things, O LORD? will you hold your peace, and afflict us very sore?
