Jesajas 7
1 Un notikās Ahaza, Jūda ķēniņa, dienās, - tas bija Uzijas dēla Jotama dēls, - ka Recins, Sīrijas ķēniņš, un Pekas, Remalijas dēls, Israēla ķēniņš, uz Jeruzālemi cēlās, pret viņu karot, bet karodami pret viņu tie nekā neiespēja.
It was during the reign of Ahaz son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, king of Aram, marched to attack Jerusalem. Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, joined in the attack, but they couldn't conquer the city.
2 Un Dāvida namam teica un sacīja: Sīrieši apmetušies pret Efraīmu. Tad viņa sirds un viņa ļaužu sirds drebēja, tā kā meža koki dreb no vēja.
When the royal family of Judah was told, “Aram and Ephraim have an alliance,” Ahaz and his people were terrified and they shook like trees in the forest tossed about by the wind.
3 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jesaju: izej jel Ahazam pretī, tu un tavs dēls ŠearJašubs, augšēja dīķa grāvja galā, ceļmalā, pie vadmalnieku tīruma,
Then the Lord told Isaiah, “Take your son Shear-jashub with you and go and meet Ahaz. He'll be at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, by the road to the laundry field.
4 Un saki uz viņu: sargies un esi klusu, nebīsties, un lai tava sirds nebaiļojās no šiem diviem kūpošiem prauliem, no Recina un Sīriešu un Remalijas dēla karstām dusmām.
Tell him, ‘Calm down and keep quiet. Don't be afraid or scared over a couple of smoldering bits of firewood, over the burning anger of Rezin and Aram, and of Remaliah's son.
5 Tādēļ ka Sīrieši pret tevi ļaunu sadomājuši ar Efraīmu un Remalijas dēlu sacīdami:
Aram has plotted to destroy you together with Ephraim and Remaliah's son saying,
6 Celsimies pret Jūdu un izbiedēsim to un uzņemsim to un celsim tur Tabeala dēlu par ķēniņu; -
Let's go and attack Judah! We'll terrorize it and conquer it for ourselves, and make Tabeel's son its king.”
7 Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tas nenotiks un nebūs.
But this is what the Lord God says, “This plan won't materialize—it just won't happen!
8 Bet Damaskus būs Sīrijas galva, un Recins Damaskus galva, un vēl būs sešdesmit pieci gadi, tad Efraīms taps satriekts, ka vairs nebūs tauta.
For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. In addition, within sixty-five years Israel as a nation will be destroyed.
9 Un Samarija būs Efraīma galva, un Remalijas dēls Samarijas galva. Ja neticēsiet, tad nepastāvēsiet.
The head of Israel is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you don't trust in me, then you won't survive.”
10 Un Tas Kungs runāja vēl uz Ahazu un sacīja:
Later the Lord sent another message to Ahaz,
11 Prasies kādu zīmi no Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, prasi to, vai dziļi dziļumā vai augsti augstumā! (Sheol h7585)
“Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether as deep as where people are buried or as high as heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Tad Ahazs sacīja: es neprasīšu, es arī To Kungu nekārdināšu.
“No, I'm not going to ask,” Ahaz replied. “I refuse to put the Lord to the test.”
13 Tad viņš sacīja: klausiet jel, jūs no Dāvida nama, vai tas jums vēl maz, kaitināt cilvēkus, ka nu arī kaitinājiet manu Dievu?
Then Isaiah said, “Listen, royal family of Judah! Isn't it enough for you to wear people out? Do you have to wear my God out too?
14 Tādēļ Tas Kungs pats jums dos zīmi: redzi, jumprava būs grūta un dzemdēs dēlu un nosauks viņa vārdu Immanuel (Dievs ar mums).
This is why the Lord himself is going to give you a sign. Look! The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and she will call him Immanuel.
15 Sviestu un medu viņš ēdīs, kad viņš zin ļaunu atmest un labu uzņemt.
He will eat curds and honey until the time he knows to refuse evil and choose the good.
16 Jo pirms tas puisītis zin ļaunu atmest un labu uzņemt, zeme būs izpostīta, no kuras diviem ķēniņiem tev bailes.
For before the boy knows to refuse evil and choose the good, the land of the two kings you're afraid of will be deserted.
17 Un Tas Kungs atvedīs pār tevi un pār taviem ļaudīm un pār tavu tēva namu dienas, kādas nav nākušas no tā brīža, kamēr Efraīms no Jūda ir atkāpies, proti Asīrijas ķēniņu.
The Lord will make you, your people, and the royal family experience a time unlike anything since the day Ephraim split from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria to attack you!”
18 Jo tai dienā Tas Kungs pasvilps tām mušām, kas ir Ēģiptes upju galā, un to biti, kas Asīrijas zemē.
At that time the Lord will whistle to call flies from the distant rivers of Egypt and bees from the country of Assyria.
19 Un tie nāks un apmetīsies visi dziļās ielejās un kalnu gravās un visos ērkšķu krūmos un visās ganībās.
They will all come and descend on the steep valleys and rock crevices, on all the thorn bushes and waterholes.
20 Tai dienā Tas Kungs ar derētu dzenamu nazi, kas viņpus upes, caur Asīrijas ķēniņu, nodzīs galvu un kāju matus, ir visu bārdu Viņš nodzīs.
At that time the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River, the king of Assyria, to shave you from head to toe, including your beards.
21 Un tai dienā cilvēks turēs kādu gotiņu un kādas divas aitiņas.
At that time a someone who manages to keep a young cow and two sheep alive
22 Un tie tik daudz piena dos, ka tas sviestu ēdīs, jo ikkatrs, kas tai zemē atliks, tas ēdīs sviestu un medu.
will eat curds, because they produce so much milk—for everyone who survives in the land will eat curds and honey.
23 Un tai dienā notiks, ka ikkatrā vietā, kur bijuši tūkstoš vīna koki, kas maksāja tūkstoš sudraba gabalus, tur būs ērkšķi un krūmi,
At that time everywhere that once had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels will only have brambles and thorns.
24 Ka ar bultām un stopiem tur būs jāiet, jo visa tā zeme būs ērkšķi un krūmi.
People will go hunting there with bows and arrows because the land will be covered with brambles and thorns.
25 Un uz visiem tiem kalniem, ko citkārt apkapāja ar kapļiem, tur tu neiesi, bīdamies no ērkšķiem un krūmiem, bet lieli lopi tur staigās, un sīki lopi tos mīdīs.
In fact, all the hills that were once tilled by the hoe you won't want to go to because you'll worry about the brambles and thorns there. They'll just be where cattle are let loose and where sheep roam.
