Jesajas 9
1 Bet tumsība nepaliks, kur (tagad) bēdas; pirmajā laikā Viņš kaunā licis Zebulona zemi un Naftalus zemi, bet pastara laikā Viņš cels godā jūrmalu, AizJardāni un pagānu Galileju.
But the darkness shall not remain where now is distress; Of old he brought the land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali into contempt; In future times shall he bring the land of the sea beyond Jordan, the circle of the gentiles, into honor.
2 Tie ļaudis, kas staigā tumsībā, redz lielu gaišumu; kas dzīvo nāves ēnas zemē, pār tiem spīd spožums.
The people that walk in darkness behold a great light; They who dwell in the land of death-like shade, Upon them a light shineth.
3 To tautu Tu esi vairojis; lielu prieku Tu tai esi devis; tie priecāsies Tavā priekšā, tā kā priecājās pļaujamā laikā, tā kā līksmojās laupījumu dalot.
Thou enlargest the nation; Thou increasest their joy; They rejoice before thee with the joy of harvest, With the joy of those who divide the spoil.
4 Jo viņu nastas jūgu un viņu muguras rīksti un viņu dzinēja dzenuli Tu esi salauzis kā Midijana laikā.
For thou breakest their heavy yoke, And the rod that smote their backs, And the scourge of the taskmaster, As in the day of Midian.
5 Jo kurpes, autas uz kara troksni, un drēbes, apgānītas asinīm, taps sadedzinātas un no uguns aprītas.
For every greave of the warrior in battle, And the war-garment rolled in blood, Shall be burned; yea, it shall be food for the fire.
6 Jo viens bērns mums dzimis, viens dēls mums dots, un valdība ir uz Viņa kamieša; un Viņa vārds top saukts: Brīnums, Padoma devējs, Varenais Dievs, Mūžīgais tēvs, Miera lielkungs.
For to us a child is born, To us a son is given, And the government shall be upon his shoulder, And he shall be called Wonderful, counsellor, mighty potentate, Everlasting father, prince of peace;
7 Lai valdība top vairota, un mieram nav gala uz Dāvida goda krēsla un Viņa valstībā, ka Viņš to sataisa un stiprina ar tiesu un taisnību no šī laika mūžīgi. To darīs Tā Kunga Cebaot karstums.
His dominion shall be great, And peace without end shall be upon the throne of David and his kingdom, To fix and establish it Through justice and equity, Henceforth and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will do this.
8 Tas Kungs vienu vārdu ir sūtījis pie Jēkaba, un tas ir nolaidies pie Israēla.
The Lord sendeth a word against Jacob; It cometh down to Israel.
9 Un visi ļaudis to samanīs, Efraīms un Samarijas iedzīvotāji, kas lielībā un sirds lepnībā saka:
His whole people shall feel it, Ephraim, and the inhabitants of Samaria, Who say in pride and arrogance of heart,
10 Ķieģeļi gruvuši, bet ar cirstiem akmeņiem atkal uztaisīsim, meža vīģu koki ir nocirsti, bet viņu vietā stādīsim ciedru kokus.
“The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 Jo Tas Kungs paaugstina Recina pretiniekus pār viņu un saskubina viņa ienaidniekus,
Jehovah will raise up the enemies of Rezin against them, And will arm their adversaries;
12 Sīriešus no rītiem un Fīlistus no vakariem, ka tie Israēli ēd pilnā mutē. Ar visu to Viņa dusmība nenovēršas, un Viņa roka vēl ir izstiepta.
The Syrians before, the Philistines behind, Who shall devour Israel with wide jaws. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
13 Bet tie ļaudis negriežas pie Tā, kas tos sit, un nemeklē To Kungu Cebaot.
The people turn not to him that smiteth them; Neither do they seek Jehovah of hosts.
14 Tādēļ Tas Kungs nocirtīs no Israēla galvu un asti, zaru un celmu vienā dienā.
Therefore shall Jehovah cut off from Israel the head and the tail, The palm-branch and the rush, in one day.
15 Vecaji un augstie ir tā galva, bet pravietis, kas melus māca, tā aste.
[[The aged and the honorable are the head, And the prophet that speaketh falsehood is the tail.]]
16 Jo šo ļaužu vadoņi ir viltnieki, un kas no tiem top vadīti, tie iet bojā.
For the leaders of this people lead them astray, And they that are led by them go to destruction.
17 Tādēļ Tas Kungs par viņu jaunekļiem nepriecāsies un neapžēlosies par viņu bāriņiem un atraitnēm, jo tie visi ir blēži un ļaundari, un ikviena mute runā blēņas. Ar visu to Viņa dusmība nenovēršas, un Viņa roka vēl ir izstiepta.
Therefore shall the Lord have no joy in their young men, And on their orphans and widows he shall have no compassion; For they are all profane, and evil-doers; Every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
18 Jo bezdievība deg kā uguns un aprij ērkšķus un dadžus un aizdedzina mežu biezumus un augsti dūmi paceļas gaisā.
For wickedness burneth like a fire, It consumeth the briers and thorns, And it kindleth the thicket of the forest, So that it goeth up in columns of smoke.
19 Jo caur Tā Kunga Cebaot bardzību zeme kvēlo, un ļaudis ir kā uguns barība, un viens otru nežēlo.
Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burned, And the people are food for the fire; No one spareth another.
20 Pa labo roku rij, un tomēr ir izsalkuši, un pa kreiso roku ēd, un tomēr nav paēduši, ikkatrs ēd sava elkoņa miesu,
They consume on the right hand, and yet are hungry; They devour on the left, and are not satisfied; Every one devoureth the flesh of his arm.
21 Manasus Efraīmu, un Efraīms Manasu, un abi kopā pret Jūdu. Ar visu to Viņa dusmība nenovēršas, un Viņa roka vēl ir izstiepta.
Manasseh is against Ephraim, and Ephraim against Manasseh, And both together against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
