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.
[This is what Yahweh said]: “I was ready to reply [to my people], but no one requested me [to help them]. I was ready to help [even] those who did not call out to me. I continued to say, ‘I am here [to help you]!’
2 Es izplešu Savas rokas cauru dienu uz pārgalvīgiem ļaudīm, kas uz nelaba ceļa staigā pēc savām pašu domām,
[It is as though] I have continually held out my arms [to show that I am ready to help] my people who rebel [against me], and who [continually] do the evil things that they want to do.
3 Uz ļaudīm, kas vienmēr Mani kaitina, kas Manā priekšā upurē dārzos un kvēpina uz ķieģeļiem,
They boldly continue to do things that cause me to be angry: They offer sacrifices [to their idols] in their gardens, and they burn incense [to them] on [altars made of] bricks.
4 Kas sēž pie kapenēm un kapu alās paliek pa naktīm un ēd cūku gaļu, un negantas sulas ir viņu traukos.
They secretly remain awake at night in burial caves, [talking with the spirits of] ([dead people/their ancestors]). They eat the meat of pigs, and their pots are full of [other] meat that is [also] unacceptable to me.
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.
[Then] they say [to others], ‘Stay away from me; do not come near me, because I am very holy, [with the result that you should not touch me].’ People like that are [like] [MET] smoke in my nose [from] a fire that burns continually.
6 Redzi, tas ir Manā priekšā rakstīts: Es necietīšu klusu, bet Es atmaksāšu, un pat viņu azotē Es atmaksāšu
I have written [a record of all the evil things that they have done]. And I will not do nothing about all those things; I will certainly punish them
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.
for the sins that they and their ancestors have committed. They have mocked/insulted me by burning incense [to their idols] on the hilltops. So I will punish them like they deserve for doing those things.”
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 [also] what Yahweh said: “When there is a cluster of nice grapes on a vine, people do not throw them away, because they know that there is good juice in those grapes. Similarly, because there are some people [in Judah] who faithfully serve/worship me, I will not get rid of all of them.
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 spare some of the descendants of Jacob who are living on the hills of Judah. I have chosen them, and they will possess that land; they will worship/serve me, and they will live there.
10 Un Šarons taps par avju ganībām, un Ahora ieleja par lopu laidaru priekš Maniem ļaudīm, kas Mani meklējuši.
[Then all the land from the] Sharon [Plain near the Mediterranean Sea] and [as far east as] Achor Valley [near Jericho] will become pastureland where their cattle and sheep will rest.
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 [it will be different] for you who have abandoned me, you who do not worship me on [Zion], my sacred hill, you who worship Gad and Meni, [the gods who you think will bring you] good luck and good fortune.
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.
[It is I, not Meni, who will decide/say what will happen to you]; you will all [be slaughtered by] swords. [That will happen] because you did not answer when I called out to you. I spoke to you, but you did not pay attention. Instead, you did things that I said are evil; you chose to do things that do not please me.
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;
I, Yahweh the Lord, will give to those who worship and obey me things to eat and drink, and they will be happy; but [all] you evil people will be hungry and thirsty, and you will be [sad and] disgraced.
14 Redzi, Mani kalpi gavilēs sirds priekā, bet jūs brēksiet sirdēstos un kauksiet satriektā garā.
Those who worship and obey me will sing joyfully, but you [evil people] will wail loudly because you will be suffering in your inner beings.
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;
Those whom I have chosen will use your names when they curse people; [I], Yahweh the Lord, will get rid of you. But I will give to those who worship and obey me a new name [that they will use when they bless people].
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.
The people in this land have had many troubles, but I will cause those troubles to occur no more. Therefore those who ask me to bless them and those who solemnly promise to do something should never forget that I am God, who faithfully [do what I promise to do].”
17 Jo redzi, Es radu jaunas debesis un jaunu zemi, un tās pirmās lietas vairs nepieminēs, un tās vairs nenāks prātā.
“Note this: [Some day] I will create a new heaven and a new earth. [They will be very wonderful, with the result that] you will no longer think about all [the troubles] you had previously.
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 always rejoice because of what I will do: Jerusalem will be a place where [people] rejoice; the people who live there will always be happy.
19 Un Es priecāšos par Jeruzālemi un līksmošos par Saviem ļaudīm, un tur vairs netaps dzirdēta ne raudāšanas balss, ne kaukšanas balss.
I will rejoice about Jerusalem, and I will be delighted with my people. [People] will no longer weep or cry because of being distressed.
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 child will die when it is still an infant; all people will live until they are very old. [People will consider that] anyone who is 100 years old is still young; [they will consider that] anyone who dies who is younger than that has been cursed.
21 Un tie uztaisīs namus un dzīvos iekš tiem, tie dēstīs vīna dārzus un ēdīs viņu augļus.
My people will build houses and [then] live in them. They will plant vineyards and then eat grapes from those vineyards.
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.
As for the houses that they build, no one will [take those houses away from them and] live in them. No one will take a vineyard away from its owner. My chosen people will live a long time, like trees do, and they will enjoy what they have accomplished— [the houses that they have built and the crops that they have planted].
23 Tie nestrādās velti, nedz dzemdēs bērnus briesmīgam galam. Jo tie ir Tā Kunga svētīto dzimums un viņu bērnu bērni līdz ar tiem.
They will not work hard in vain, and their children will not die from some (calamity/terrible thing happening to them). I will [certainly] bless their children and their grandchildren.
24 Un notiks, pirms tie sauc, tad Es atbildēšu, kad tie vēl runā, tad Es klausīšu.
Before they call to me [to help them], I will answer; I will answer their prayers while they are still praying [for me to do something for 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.
No one will be harmed or injured anywhere on [Zion], my sacred hill: Wolves and lambs will eat grass together [peacefully]; lions will eat hay like oxen do, [and they will not attack people]. Snakes will [not hurt anyone; they will lie on the ground and] eat [only] dirt. [That is surely what it will be like because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
