Jesajas 66
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: Debesis ir Mans goda krēsls, un zeme ir Mans kāju pamesls; kur būtu tas nams, ko jūs Man taisītu, un kur būtu vieta priekš Manas dusas?
Yahweh [also] said this: “[All of] heaven is [like] my throne, and the whole earth is [like] my footstool. So you could certainly not [RHQ] build a house [that would be adequate] for me to live in and rest!
2 Jo Mana roka visas šīs lietas radījusi, un tā visas tās cēlušās, saka Tas Kungs; bet uz to Es skatīšos, proti uz nabagu, un kam sagrauzts gars, un kas priekš Mana Vārda dreb.
I [MTY] have created everything; all things exist because I made them. [That is true because I], Yahweh, have said it. The people I am [most] pleased with are those who are humble, who [patiently endure it when they] (suffer/are afflicted), and who tremble when they hear me [rebuking them].
3 Kas vērsi nokauj, ir kā kas vīru nokauj; kas jēru upurē, ir kā kas sunim lauž kaklu; kas ēdamu upuri upurē, ir kā kas upurē cūku asinis; kas vīraku dedzina par piemiņas upuri, ir kā kas elku teic. Jo tie izvēlās savus pašu ceļus, un viņu dvēselei ir labs prāts pie savām negantībām.
You have enjoyed [continually] doing the things that you want to do: [Some of] you slaughter oxen [to sacrifice them to me], but you also bring human sacrifices [to your idols]! You sacrifice lambs [to me], but you kill dogs [to offer them to your gods]. You offer grain to me, but you also bring pigs’ blood [to your idols]. You burn incense [to me], but you also praise your idols. You enjoy doing those disgusting things.
4 Tad arī Es tiem novēlēšu mokas un atvedīšu pār tiem briesmas, tāpēc ka Es saucu, un neviens neatbildēja, Es runāju, un neviens neklausīja, bet tie ir darījuši, kas ļauns priekš Manām acīm, un izvēlējušies, kas Man nepatika.
When I called [out to you], you did not answer. When I spoke, you did not pay attention. You did [many] things that I say are evil; you chose [to do] things that I did not like. So [now] I will punish you by causing you to experience the things that you are [very] afraid of.”
5 Klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, kas Viņa vārdu bīstaties. Jūsu brāļi, kas jūs ienīst, kas jūs atstumj Mana Vārda dēļ, saka: lai Tas Kungs pagodinājās, ka mēs redzam jūsu prieku; bet tie taps kaunā.
But you people who tremble when you hear what Yahweh says, listen to what he says [now]: “Some of your people hate you and reject you because you belong to me. They make fun of you, and they say, ‘Yahweh should show his glorious power! We want to see him [do something to cause] you to be truly happy.’ But [some day] those people will be [very] disgraced.”
6 Trokšņa balss būs pilsētā, balss no Dieva nama, Tā Kunga balss, kas Saviem ienaidniekiem atmaksā, kā tie pelnījuši.
[At that time], you will listen to the noise in the city. You will hear the shouting in the temple. It will be the sound of Yahweh shouting while he is punishing his enemies!
7 Pirms nāca bērnu sāpes, viņa ir dzemdējusi, pirms viņai uzgāja bailība, viņai dēls ir dzimis.
No one [RHQ] ever heard that a woman gave birth to a baby when she was just starting to have birth pains.
8 Kas jel jebkad šo dzirdējis, kas šādas lietas redzējis? Vai zeme var piedzimt vienā dienā, vai tautu var dzemdēt vienā reizē? Jo Ciāna, tikko tai bērnu sāpes uznāca, arī dzemdējusi savus bērnus.
Certainly no one [RHQ] ever heard about such a thing happening, and no one has ever seen it happen. [Similarly], no one ever [RHQ] heard that a nation was created in one instant, not even in one day. But Jerusalem is like [MET] [a woman who] gives birth to children as soon as she starts to have birth pains.
9 Vai Es liktu nākt līdz dzimšanai un neļautu dzemdēt? Saka Tas Kungs: Vai Es, kas dod spēku dzemdēt, atkal aizturētu? Saka tavs Dievs.
Women certainly do not [RHQ] bring infants to the time when they are ready to be born and then do not allow them to be born. [Similarly, he will do for Jerusalem] [MET] [what he has promised to do]: [He will cause Jerusalem to be full of people again]. [That will happen because] Yahweh has said it.
10 Priecājaties ar Jeruzālemi un līksmojaties par viņu visi, kas to mīlējāt, priecājaties priecādamies ar viņu visi, kas par to bijāt noskumuši,
You people in [APO] Jerusalem, rejoice! And all you people who love Jerusalem should also be happy. You people who were sad because of [what happened to Jerusalem], you should now be glad.
11 Ka zīžat un papilnam dabūjat no viņas iepriecināšanas krūtīm, ka baudāt un atspirdzinājaties no viņas godības pilnuma.
[You people in Jerusalem] will [have everything that you need] like [MET] a baby that gets all it needs from its mother’s breasts. You will enjoy all the abundant and glorious things [MET] in the city.
12 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es vedīšu mieru pār to kā upi un pagānu godību kā izplūdušu strautu; tad jūs zīdīsiet, tapsiet klēpī nesti un uz ceļiem mīļi auklēti.
Yahweh has promised, “I will cause Jerusalem to be full of valuable things that come from other nations; those things will pour into Jerusalem; it will be like [SIM] a big flood. I will take care of the people of Jerusalem like women care for the babies that they nurse.
13 Tā kā tādu, ko māte iepriecina, tāpat Es jūs iepriecināšu, un Jeruzālemē jūs tapsiet iepriecināti.
I will comfort you people in Jerusalem like [MET] mothers comfort their children.”
14 Un jūs to redzēsiet, un jūsu sirds līksmosies, un jūsu kauli zaļos kā zāle. Tad Tā Kunga roka būs zināma visiem Viņa kalpiem, un Viņa ienaidniekiem Viņa dusmas.
When you see [those things happen], you [SYN] will rejoice. Your [old] bones will become strong [again] like [SIM] grass [that grows quickly/well in the springtime]. [When that happens, everyone] will know that Yahweh has power [MTY] to help those who worship and obey him, but that he is angry with his enemies.
15 Jo redzi, Tas Kungs nāks ar uguni, un Viņa rati kā viesulis, bargi izgāzt Savu dusmību un rāt ar uguns liesmām.
Yahweh will come down with flames of fire, and his chariots [will come down] like [SIM] a whirlwind; he will be extremely angry, and he will punish [his enemies] by burning them in a fire.
16 Jo ar uguni Tas Kungs tiesās un ar Savu zobenu visu miesu, un liels pulks būs Tā Kunga nokauto.
[It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has a [big] sword, and he will judge and execute many people.
17 Kas svētījās un šķīstās elku dārzos cits par citu un ēd cūkas gaļu un negantību un peles, tie kopā taps izdeldēti, saka Tas Kungs.
Yahweh says, “Some of you people purify/bathe yourselves and [then] go to a garden to worship your gods. You eat the meat of pigs and lizards and mice, [and other things that I have forbidden you to eat]. So I will get rid of you [for doing that].
18 Bet Es (zinu) viņu darbus un viņu domas! Notiks, ka Es sapulcināšu visas tautas un mēles, un tie nāks un redzēs Manu godību.
I know [all] the [evil] things that you think and do. [It is now time] for me to gather together the people who live in all nations and who speak all languages, and to show them that I am very great.
19 Un Es tiem celšu zīmi un sūtīšu no tiem izglābtiem pie pagāniem uz Taršišu, Pulu un Ludu, pie tiem stopu strēlniekiem, pie Tūbala un Javana, uz tālejām salām, kas Manu slavu nav dzirdējuši un Manu godību nav redzējuši, un tie tām tautām darīs zināmu Manu godību.
I will put a mark on them, and those whom I have spared will go to various [distant] countries: to Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal, Javan, and to distant islands. I will send them to proclaim to nations that have never heard about me that I am very great and glorious.
20 Un tie atvedīs visus jūsu brāļus no visām tautām Tam Kungam par upuri, uz zirgiem un ratiem un uz nestavām un uz zirgēzeļiem un uz čakliem kamieļiem, pie Mana svētā kalna uz Jeruzālemi, saka Tas Kungs, tā kā Israēla bērni upuri atnes šķīstā traukā uz Tā Kunga namu.
Then they will bring back here your relatives [who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries)], to be like [SIM] an offering to me. They will come on horses, in chariots, on mules, and on camels. They will come to [Zion, ] my sacred hill in Jerusalem. That will be like [SIM] the offerings that [my] Israeli people used to bring in the correct manner to the temple.
21 Un arī no tiem Es ņemšu par priesteriem un par levitiem, saka Tas Kungs.
[I solemnly promise that] I will appoint some of them to be priests, and others to do other work in my temple. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
22 Jo tā kā tās jaunās debesis un tā jaunā zeme, ko Es radu, stāvēs Manā priekšā, saka Tas Kungs, tāpat stāvēs arī jūsu dzimums un jūsu vārds.
I [also] promise that just like the new heaven and the new earth will last forever, you will always have descendants, and you [MTY] will always be honored.
23 Un notiks, ka visa miesa nāks ik jaunus mēnešus un ik svētdienas un pielūgs Manā priekšā, saka Tas Kungs.
At every festival to celebrate the Sabbath [each week] and the new moon [each month], everyone will [come and] worship me. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
24 Un tie izies ārā un redzēs to nomirušo miesas, kas no Manis atkāpušies. Jo viņu tārps nemirs un viņu uguns neizdzisīs, un tie būs negantība visai miesai.
Then they will go out [of Jerusalem] and look at the corpses of those who rebelled against me. The maggots in those corpses will never die, the fire will never stop burning them, and everyone [who sees their corpses] will detest them.”
