Cefanjas 3
1 Vai tai stūrgalvīgai un apgānītai un varmācīgai pilsētai!
Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!
2 Tā neklausa, ko saka, tā nepieņem mācību un nepaļaujas uz To Kungu, nenāk pie sava Dieva.
She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in the LORD. She didn’t draw near to her God.
3 Viņas lielkungi viņas vidū ir lauvas, kas rūc, viņas soģi ir kā vilki vakarā, kas nekā neatlicina līdz rītam.
Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
4 Viņas pravieši ir lielmutes, viltnieki, viņas priesteri sagāna svētumu un lauž bauslību.
Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
5 Tas Kungs ir taisns viņu vidū, Viņš nedara netaisnību, ik rītu Viņš nes gaismā Savu tiesu bez kavēšanās, tomēr nelieši neprot kauna.
The LORD, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.
6 Tautas Es esmu izdeldējis, viņu pilis ir postītas, viņu ielas Es esmu darījis tukšas, ka neviens tur nestaigā, viņu pilsētas ir postītas, palikušas bez cilvēka un bez iedzīvotāja.
I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
7 Es sacīju: kaut tu Mani bītos un pieņemtu mācību, tad viņu mājas vieta netaptu izdeldēta pēc visa, ko Es par tiem esmu nospriedis. Bet tie ir ļaunu darījuši, ko vien darīdami
I said, “Just fear me. Receive correction,” so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
8 Tādēļ jums būs Mani gaidīt, saka Tas Kungs, tai dienā, kad Es celšos uz laupījumu, jo Mana tiesa ir sapulcināt tautas, sakrāt valstis un pār tām izgāzt Savu bardzību un visu Savu dusmības karstumu, jo visa pasaule taps aprīta Mana karstuma ugunī.
“Therefore wait for me”, says the LORD, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 Tad Es tiem ļaudīm došu šķīstas lūpas, ka visiem būs piesaukt Tā Kunga vārdu un Viņam kalpot vienprātībā.
For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the LORD’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
10 No viņpus Moru upēm Mani pielūdzēji Man nesīs upurus, Manu izkaisīto ļaužu draudze.
From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshippers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
11 Tai dienā tu netapsi kaunā visu savu darbu dēļ, ar ko tu pret Mani noziegusies. Jo tad Es no tava vidus atņemšu tavus lepnos lielītājus, un tu vairs nebūsi lepna Manā svētā kalnā.
In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out from amongst you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be arrogant in my holy mountain.
12 Un tavā vidū Es atlicināšu bēdu ļaudis un pazemīgos, tie paļausies uz Tā Kunga vārdu.
But I will leave amongst you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the LORD’s name.
13 Israēla atlikušie nedarīs netaisnību un nerunās melus, un viņu mutē neatradīs viltus mēli, bet tie ganīsies un apgulsies, un neviens tos netraucēs.
The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.”
14 Dzied priecīgi, Ciānas meita! Gavilē, Israēl! Priecājies un līksmojies no visas sirds, Jeruzālemes meita!
Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
15 Tas Kungs ir atņēmis tavu sodību, Viņš tavu ienaidnieku ir aizmēzis projām. Tas Kungs, Israēla ķēniņš, ir tavā vidū, ļaunuma tu vairs neredzēsi.
The LORD has taken away your judgements. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is amongst you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.
16 Tai dienā sacīs uz Jeruzālemi: nebīsties, Ciāna! Lai tavas rokas nenogurst.
In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be weak.”
17 Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir tavā vidū, stiprs Pestītājs, Viņš priecāsies par tevi ar līksmību, Viņš cietīs klusu savā mīlestībā, Viņš priecāsies par tevi ar gavilēšanu.
The LORD, your God, is amongst you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
18 Es sapulcināšu tos, kas bija noskumuši svētku sapulces dēļ; tie tev pieder; negods tiem uzkrauts.
I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
19 Redzi, tanī laikā Es tā darīšu visiem taviem spaidītājiem, un Es pasargāšu klibo un sapulcināšu izdzīto, un tos iecelšu par teikšanu un par slavu ikvienā zemē, kur tie bija kaunā.
Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you; and I will save those who are lame and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honour, whose shame has been in all the earth.
20 Tanī laikā Es jūs atvedīšu, un to brīdi Es jūs sapulcināšu. Jo Es jūs iecelšu par slavu un par teikšanu pie visām pasaules tautām, kad Es jūsu cietumu novērsīšu priekš jūsu acīm, saka Tas Kungs.
At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you; for I will give you honour and praise amongst all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says the LORD.
