Jesajas 65
1 Es topu meklēts no tiem, kas pēc Manis nevaicāja, Es topu atrasts no tiem, kas Mani nemeklēja. Es esmu sacījis uz tautu, kas Manu vārdu nepiesauca: redzi, še Es esmu, redzi, še Es esmu.
I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
2 Es izplešu Savas rokas cauru dienu uz pārgalvīgiem ļaudīm, kas uz nelaba ceļa staigā pēc savām pašu domām,
I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
3 Uz ļaudīm, kas vienmēr Mani kaitina, kas Manā priekšā upurē dārzos un kvēpina uz ķieģeļiem,
These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
4 Kas sēž pie kapenēm un kapu alās paliek pa naktīm un ēd cūku gaļu, un negantas sulas ir viņu traukos.
They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
5 Kas saka: paliec, nenāc man klāt, jo es esmu svēts priekš tevis. Šie būs par dūmiem Manā dusmībā, par uguni, kas deg cauru dienu.
They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
6 Redzi, tas ir Manā priekšā rakstīts: Es necietīšu klusu, bet Es atmaksāšu, un pat viņu azotē Es atmaksāšu
Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
7 Jūsu noziegumus un jūsu tēvu noziegumus kopā, saka Tas Kungs, ka ir kvēpinājuši uz kalniem un Mani zaimojuši uz pakalniem; tāpēc viņu algu Es papriekš atmaksāšu viņu azotē.
I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
8 Tā saka Tas Kungs: tā kā kad vīnu atrod ķekarā un saka: nemaitā to, jo svētība tur iekšā, tāpat Es darīšu Savu kalpu dēļ, ka Es tos visus nenomaitāju.
This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
9 Bet Es no Jēkaba radīšu dzimumu un no Jūda, kas manto Manus kalnus, un Mani izredzētie to iemantos, un Mani kalpi tur dzīvos.
I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
10 Un Šarons taps par avju ganībām, un Ahora ieleja par lopu laidaru priekš Maniem ļaudīm, kas Mani meklējuši.
Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
11 Bet jūs, kas no Tā Kunga atkāpušies, kas Manu svēto kalnu aizmirstat un galdu sataisiet tam Gad (Liktenim) un dzeramus upurus ielejat tai Meni (Laimei), -
But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
12 Es jūs arī nolikšu zobenam, ka jums visiem būs locīties pie kaušanas, tāpēc ka Es esmu aicinājis, bet jūs neesat atbildējuši, Es esmu runājis, un jūs neesat klausījuši, bet darījuši, kas ļauns bija Manās acīs, un izraudzījušies, kas Man nepatika.
I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
13 Tādēļ Tas Kungs Dievs tā saka: redzi, Mani kalpi ēdīs, bet jūs būsiet izsalkuši; redzi, Mani kalpi dzers, bet jūs iztvīksiet; redzi, Mani kalpi priecāsies, bet jūs tapsiet kaunā;
So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
14 Redzi, Mani kalpi gavilēs sirds priekā, bet jūs brēksiet sirdēstos un kauksiet satriektā garā.
Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
15 Un jūs atstāsiet savu vārdu Maniem izredzētiem par lāstu vārdu, un Tas Kungs Dievs tevi nokaus, bet Savus kalpus Viņš nosauks ar citu vārdu;
Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
16 Un kas virs zemes svētīsies, tas svētīsies pie tā patiesā Dieva, un kas virs zemes zvērēs, tas zvērēs pie tā patiesā Dieva; jo tās pirmās bēdas būs aizmirstas un priekš Manām acīm apslēptas.
Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
17 Jo redzi, Es radu jaunas debesis un jaunu zemi, un tās pirmās lietas vairs nepieminēs, un tās vairs nenāks prātā.
Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
18 Bet priecājaties un līksmojaties mūžīgi mūžam par to, ko Es radu. Jo redzi, Es radīšu Jeruzālemi par prieku un viņas ļaudis par līksmību.
Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
19 Un Es priecāšos par Jeruzālemi un līksmošos par Saviem ļaudīm, un tur vairs netaps dzirdēta ne raudāšanas balss, ne kaukšanas balss.
I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
20 Tur nebūs vairs bērniņi, kas ilgi nedzīvos, nedz veci, kas savas dienas nepiepilda; bet jauneklis mirs simts gadus vecs būdams, un bezdievīgais taps nolādēts simts gadus vecs būdams.
No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
21 Un tie uztaisīs namus un dzīvos iekš tiem, tie dēstīs vīna dārzus un ēdīs viņu augļus.
They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
22 Tie neuztaisīs, lai cits tur dzīvo, un nedēstīs, lai cits to ēd; jo Manu ļaužu mūžs būs ka koku mūžs un Mani izredzētie baudīs savu roku darbu.
No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
23 Tie nestrādās velti, nedz dzemdēs bērnus briesmīgam galam. Jo tie ir Tā Kunga svētīto dzimums un viņu bērnu bērni līdz ar tiem.
They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
24 Un notiks, pirms tie sauc, tad Es atbildēšu, kad tie vēl runā, tad Es klausīšu.
I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
25 Vilki un jēri ies kopā ganos un lauva ēdīs salmus kā vērsis, un pīšļi būs čūskas barība; tie nedarīs ļauna un nedarīs posta visā Manā svētā kalnā, saka Tas Kungs.
The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
