< Jesajas 64 >

1 Ak kaut Tu pārplēstu debesis un nonāktu zemē, ka kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!
“[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in 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;
[Be] like a fire that burns twigs and causes water to boil! [Come down] in order that your enemies will know who you are, and the [people of other] nations will tremble in your presence.
3 Caur tiem brīnumiem, ko Tu dari mums negaidot, kaut Tu nonāktu zemē, kaut kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!
You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
4 Nemūžam nav dzirdēts, nedz samanīts, nedz acīm redzēts cits Dievs, kā vien Tu, kas tā dara tam, kas uz Viņu gaida.
Since (long ago/the world began), no one [SYN] has [ever] seen or heard about a God like you; you help those who (depend on/trust in) you.
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 help those who joyfully do what is right, those who conduct their lives as you want them to. But [we did not do that]; we continued to sin, and so you became angry with us. We have been sinning for a long time, so only if we continually do what you want us to do will we 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.
We have all become people who are not fit to worship you; all of the good things that we have done are only like [SIM] filthy/blood-stained rags. Because of our sins, we are like [SIM] leaves that dry up and are blown away by the wind.
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.
None [of our people] worships you, and no one is completely dedicated to [IDM] you. You have turned away from us. [It is as though] you have caused us to be forced to continue our sinful behavior.
8 Nu tad, Kungs, Tu esi mūsu Tēvs, mēs esam māls, un Tu esi mūsu darītājs, un mēs visi esam Tavas rokas darbs.
Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
9 Neapskaisties, Kungs, tik ļoti, un nepiemini noziegumu mūžīgi, redzi, uzlūko jel, ka mēs visi esam Tavi ļaudis.
Yahweh, do not continue to be angry [with us]; do not keep thinking about [our] sins forever. Do not forget that we are all your people.
10 Tavas svētās pilsētas palikušas par tuksnesi, Ciāna par tuksnesi, Jeruzāleme par postažu.
[All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
11 Mūsu svētais un skaistais Dieva nams, kur mūsu tēvi Tevi slavējuši, ir sadedzināts ar uguni, un viss mūsu acu prieks ir bojā gājis.
Your glorious temple on Zion Hill, where our ancestors worshiped you, has been destroyed by fire. And all our [other] beautiful things have been ruined.
12 Kungs, vai Tu būsi ciets, šās lietas redzēdams? Vai Tu klusu cietīsi, un mūs tik ļoti apbēdināsi?
Yahweh, you see all those things, so we worry that you will refrain [from helping us], and that you will cause us to suffer much more.
