Jesajas 8
1 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: ņem lielu galdu un raksti uz to ar cilvēka rakstu: „Māer šalal, kaš bas“(laupījums steidzās, laupīšana nāk ātri).
Then Yahweh said to me, “Make a large signboard. And write clearly on it, ‘Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz’ [which means ‘quickly (plunder/take by force) and steal everything’].”
2 Un es sev ņēmu uzticamus lieciniekus, priesteri Ūriju, un Zakariju, Jebereķijas dēlu.
[So] I requested Uriah the [Supreme] Priest and Jeberekiah’s son Zechariah, men who were both honest/trustworthy witnesses, to watch me as I was doing that.
3 Un es gāju pie tās pravietes, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu. Un Tas Kungs sacīja: nosauc viņa vārdu: Māer šalal, kaš bas.
Then I had sex with [EUP] [my wife, who was] a prophetess, and she became pregnant and [then] gave birth to a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (which means ‘suddenly attacked, quickly conquered’),
4 Jo pirms tas zēns māk saukt: mans tēvs, mana māte! Tad Damaskus mantu un Samarijas laupījumu nesīs Asīrijas ķēniņa priekšā.
because before he is old enough to say ‘papa’ or ‘mama’, the King of Assyria will [come with his army and] quickly take away all the valuable things in Damascus and in Samaria.”
5 Tas Kungs vēl runāja uz mani un sacīja:
Yahweh spoke to me again and said, “[Tell the people of Judah, ]
6 Tādēļ ka šie ļaudis nicina Šiloas ūdeni, kas lēniņām tek, un tiem ir prieks pie Recina un Remalijas dēla,
‘[I have taken good care of] you people, but you have rejected that, [thinking that] my help was very little, like [MET] the little canal through which water flows from the Gihon Spring into Jerusalem. Instead, you have been happy [to request help from] King Rezin and King Pekah.
7 Redzi, tad Tas Kungs pār tiem atvedīs stipro un vareno lielupes ūdeni, Asīrijas ķēniņu un visu viņa godību, un tas plūdīs pār visiem saviem krastiem un ies pār visām savām malām,
Therefore, I will cause the people of Judah to be attacked by [the powerful army of] the King of Assyria, which will be [like] a great flood from the [Euphrates] River. Their soldiers will [be everywhere in your country, like] a river that overflows all its banks.
8 Un tas ielauzīsies Jūdā un to pārplūdīs, un ies cauri un sniegsies līdz pat kaklam, un tas izstieps savus spārnus un piepildīs visu tavu zemi, Immanuel!
Those soldiers will go all over Judah— [like a river whose water] [MET] rises as high as a person’s neck. Their army will spread over the land [quickly], like an eagle, and they will cover your entire land! But I will be with you!’”
9 Trakojiet, tautas, un topat satriektas! Ņemiet vērā, visi pasaules gali! Jožaties un topat satriekti, jožaties un topat satriekti!
Listen, all you [people in] distant countries! [You can] prepare to attack Judah. [You can] prepare [for battle, and shout your] war-cries, but your [armies will] be crushed/shattered!
10 Izdomājiet padomu, bet tas iznīks, runājiet vārdu, bet tas nenotiks, jo ar mums ir Dievs (Immanuels.)
[You can] prepare for what you will do [to attack Judah], but what you plan to do will not happen! You will not succeed, because God is with us!
11 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani runājis, mani satverdams ar Savu roku, un mani mācījis, nestaigāt šo ļaužu ceļu, un sacījis:
Yahweh strongly warned me [MTY] not to act like the [other] people in Judah did. He said to me,
12 Jums nebūs sacīt, „derība“visur, kur šie ļaudis saka „derība“, un nebūs bīties, kur tie bīstas, nedz baiļoties.
“Do not say that everything that people do is conspiring/rebelling [against the government], like [other] people say, and do not (be afraid of/worry about) the things that other people are afraid of.
13 To Kungu Cebaot, to jums būs svētīt, un Viņš lai ir jūsu bijāšana, un Viņš lai ir jūsu bailība.
[I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, am the one you should consider to be holy. And I am the one you should fear, the one you should revere.
14 Tad Viņš jums būs par svētumu, bet par pieduršanās akmeni un par piedauzīšanās klinti abiem Israēla namiem, par valgu un slazdu Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem.
I will protect you(sg). [But as for] the [other] people [MTY] in Israel and Judah, I will be [like] [MET] a stone that causes people to stumble, a rock that causes them to fall down. [And as for] the people of Jerusalem, I will be [like] [MET] a trap or a snare [DOU].
15 Un daudzi no tiem klups un kritīs un taps satriekti un savaldzināti un sagūstīti.
Many [people] will stumble and fall down and never get up again. They will experience great troubles; they will be captured [by their enemies].”
16 Sasien to liecību, aizzieģelē to mācību iekš maniem mācekļiem,
[So, I say to you who are my disciples], seal up this scroll on which I have written the messages that God has given to me, and give his instructions to [others] who have accompanied me.
17 Un es ceru uz To Kungu, kas Savu vaigu apslēpis no Jēkaba nama, un es gaidu uz Viņu.
I will wait to see what Yahweh [will do]. He has rejected the descendants [MTY] of Jacob, but I will confidently expect him to help me.
18 Redzi, es un tie bērni, ko Tas Kungs man devis, par zīmēm un par brīnumiem iekš Israēla no Tā Kunga Cebaot, kas mājo Ciānas kalnā.
I and the children that Yahweh has given to me are [like] signs to warn [the people of] Israel; we are warnings from the Commander of the armies of angels the one who lives [in his temple] on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem].
19 Kad tie nu uz jums sacīs: vaicājiet tos pareģus un zīmju cienītājus, kas čirkst un čukst, (tad sakāt): vai ļaudīm nebūs vaicāt savu Dievu? Vai tad mirušus būs vaicāt priekš dzīviem?
Some people may urge you(pl) to (consult/go and talk with) those who talk with the spirits of dead people or with those who say that they receive messages from those spirits. They whisper and mutter [about what we should do in the future]. But God is [RHQ] the one whom we should ask to guide us! It is ridiculous [RHQ] for people who are alive to request spirits of dead people to tell us [what we should do]!
20 (Griežaties) Pie bauslības un liecības! Ja tie tā nerunās (saskaņā ar šo Vārdu), tad auseklis(gaisma) tiem neausīs.
Pay attention to God’s instructions and teaching! If people do not say things that agree with what God teaches us, [what they say is worthless]. [It is as though] those people are in darkness.
21 Bet tie ies apkārt, grūti apbēdināti un izsalkuši. Un kad būs izsalkuši, tad tie dusmosies un lādēs savu ķēniņu un savu dievu. Un kad tie skatās uz augšu,
They will wander through the land, worried/discouraged and hungry. And when they become [very] hungry, they will become very angry. They will look up [toward heaven] and curse God and [will also] curse their king.
22 Vai uzlūko zemi, redzi, bēdas un tumsība; tie ir apstulboti bēdās un maldās tumsībā.
They will look around the land and see only trouble/distress and darkness and things that cause them to despair. And [then] they will be thrown into the very black darkness [of hell]. (questioned)
