Jesajas 64
1 Ak kaut Tu pārplēstu debesis un nonāktu zemē, ka kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!
“Oh, if you had split open the heavens and come down! The mountains would have shaken 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 fire kindles the brushwood, or the fire makes water boil. Oh, that your name would be known by your adversaries, that the nations would tremble at your presence!
3 Caur tiem brīnumiem, ko Tu dari mums negaidot, kaut Tu nonāktu zemē, kaut kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!
Previously, when you did marvelous things that we had not expected, you came down, and the mountains trembled 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.
Since ancient times no one has heard or perceived, nor eye seen any God besides you, who does things for him who 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 come to help those who rejoice in doing what is right, those who call to mind your ways and obey them. You were angry when we sinned. In your ways we will always be rescued.
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.
For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a menstrual rag. We have all withered like leaves; our iniquities, like the wind, carry 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.
There are none who calls on your name, who makes an effort to take hold of you. For you have hidden your face from us and made us waste away in the hand 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.
Yet, Yahweh, you are our father; we are the clay. You are 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 too angry, Yahweh, nor always call to mind against us our sins. Please look at us all, your people.
10 Tavas svētās pilsētas palikušas par tuksnesi, Ciāna par tuksnesi, Jeruzāleme par postažu.
Your holy cities have become a wilderness; Zion has become 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 beautiful temple, where our fathers praised you, has been destroyed by fire, and all that was so dear is in ruins.
12 Kungs, vai Tu būsi ciets, šās lietas redzēdams? Vai Tu klusu cietīsi, un mūs tik ļoti apbēdināsi?
How can you still hold back, Yahweh? How can you remain silent and continue to humiliate us?”
