Isaiah 43
1 But now this is what the Lord says to Jacob, the one who created you; to Israel, the one who formed you: “Don't be afraid! I have saved you! I have called you by name; you are mine!
Bet nu Tas Kungs, tavs Radītājs, Jēkab, un tavs darītājs, Israēl, saka tā: nebīsties, jo Es tevi esmu atpestījis, Es tevi esmu saucis pie tava vārda; tu esi Mans.
2 When you walk through the water, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they won't flood over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you on fire.
Kad tu iesi caur ūdeņiem, tad Es būšu pie tevis, un caur upēm, tad tās tevi nepārplūdīs. Kad tu iesi caur uguni, tad tu nesadegsi, un liesma tevi neaizdedzinās.
3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt to pay for your freedom; I traded Ethiopia and Seba for you.
Jo Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tas Svētais iekš Israēla, tavs Pestītājs. Ēģipti Es dodu par tavu izpirkšanas maksu, Moru zemi un Sabu tavā vietā.
4 Because you are so valuable to me, because I honor you, and because I love you, I give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your lives.
Tāpēc ka tu esi dārgs Manās acīs un cienīgs, un Es tevi mīļoju, Es esmu devis cilvēkus tavā vietā un tautas par tavu dvēseli.
5 Don't be afraid, for I am with you! I will bring you and your children from the east and the west, and gather you together.
Nebīsties, jo Es esmu pie tevis, Es atvedīšu tavu dzimumu no rīta puses un tevi sapulcināšu no vakara puses.
6 I will tell the north, ‘Hand them over!’ and the south, ‘Don't stop them!’ Bring my sons back from far away and my daughters from distant lands.
Es sacīšu uz ziemeli: Dod šurp! Un uz dienvidu: Neaiztur! Atved Manus dēlus no tālienes un Manas meitas no zemes galiem,
7 Bring back everyone who bears my name, those I created for my honor, those I formed and made.
Ikkatru, kas pēc Mana Vārda nosaukts, un ko Es esmu radījis Sev par godu, ko esmu taisījis un darījis.
8 Bring back those who have eyes but are blind, those who have ears but are deaf.
Atved tos aklos ļaudis, kam tomēr acis, un tos kurlos, kam tomēr ausis.
9 Have all the nations gather together! Have all the peoples assemble! Who among them could have said this, and predict what was going to happen? Have them bring their witnesses to prove that they're right. Then have them listen, and say, ‘It's true!’
Lai visi pagāni top sapulcināti, un tautas lai sanāk kopā. Kurš no tiem to stāstīs? Lai tie mums stāsta tās pagājušās lietas, lai tie atved savus lieciniekus un taisnojās, ka šie dzird un saka: Tas ir tiesa.
10 However, you are my witnesses, the Lord declares, and my chosen servant, so that you can think about it, and believe me and understand that I am God. No god preceded me, and none will come after me.
Jūs esat Mani liecinieki, saka Tas Kungs, un Mans kalps, ko esmu izredzējis, lai jūs atzīstat un Man ticat un saprotat, ka Es tas esmu. Priekš Manis neviens dievs nav bijis un pēc Manis neviens nebūs.
11 I, yes I am the Lord, and there is no Savior apart from me.
Es, Es esmu Tas Kungs, un Pestītāja nav kā vien Es.
12 I predicted what was going to happen, then I saved you, then I announced it—there was no foreign god among you that did this. You are my witnesses that I am God, declares the Lord.
Es esmu pasludinājis, Es esmu palīdzējis, Es esmu zināmu darījis, un sveša(dieva) nebija jūsu starpā. Un jūs esat Mani liecinieki, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es esmu Dievs.
13 I am God from the beginning. No one can snatch anybody from my hand. No one can reverse what I do.
Arī no šīs dienas Es esmu tas pats, un neviena nav, kas var izglābt no Manas rokas; ko Es daru, kas to var novērst?
14 This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: For your sake I will send attackers against Babylon and bring them down. All the Babylonians will be like fugitives, escaping in the ships they're so proud of.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, jūsu Pestītājs, tas Svētais iekš Israēla: jūsu dēļ Es uz Bābeli esmu sūtījis un visus Kaldejus aizdzinis, ka bija jābēg ar tām laivām, ar kurām bija līksmojušies.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.
Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Svētais, Israēla Radītājs, jūsu ķēniņš!
16 This is what the Lord says, the one who makes a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters;
Tā saka Tas Kungs, kas ceļu darījis jūrā un teku stipros ūdeņos,
17 the one who brought out a great army with it horses and chariots and lay them down, never to rise again, snuffed out like a burning wick.
Kas izved ratus un zirgus, kara pulku un spēku, - kopā tie ir apgūlušies, tie necelsies atkal augšām, tie ir izdzēsti, kā dakts tie ir izdzisuši.
18 But don't dwell on the past; don't concentrate on what happened back then.
Nepieminiet tās vecās lietas un nedomājiet vairs uz to, kas pagājis.
19 Just look at something new I'm going to do now! In fact it's started already. Can't you see it? Yes, I'm making a way through the wilderness, rivers in the desert!
Redzi, Es daru jaunas lietas; jau plaukst, jūs to atzīsiet; Es darīšu ceļu tuksnesī un upes tukšās vietās.
20 The wild animals will be grateful to me, the jackals and the owls, because I'm providing water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, so my people, my chosen people, can drink.
Zvēri laukā Mani godās, šakāļi un strausi, jo Es ūdeni došu tuksnesī un upes tukšā vietā, dzirdināt Savus ļaudis, Savus izredzētos.
21 I made this people for myself so that through their praise for me they could make me known.
Šos ļaudis Es Sev esmu radījis, tie teiks Manu slavu.
22 But you haven't called on me for help, Jacob. You've grown tired of me, Israel.
Un tu Mani neesi piesaucis, Jēkab, nedz Manis pēc pūlējies, Israēl!
23 You haven't brought me sheep for burnt offerings; you haven't honored me with your sacrifices. I haven't burdened you by asking for grain offerings; I haven't tired you out by demanding incense.
Tu Man neesi atnesis savu dedzināmo upuru avis, nedz Mani godājis ar saviem kaujamiem upuriem. Es tevi neesmu kalpinājis ar ēdamiem upuriem, nedz tevi apgrūtinājis ar vīraku.
24 You haven't used your money to buy scented calamus; you have not pleased me with the fat of your sacrifices. Instead you have burdened me with your sins, and tired me out with your guilt.
Tu Man neesi par naudu pircis smaržīgas kalmes un neesi Mani mielojis ar savu upuru taukiem. Bet tu Mani esi kalpinājis ar saviem grēkiem, tu Mani esi apgrūtinājis ar saviem noziegumiem.
25 I, yes I am the God who wipes out your sins because of who I am, and who doesn't remember your sins any more.
Es, Es tas esmu, kas izdeldu tavus pārkāpumus Sevis dēļ un nepieminu tavus grēkus.
26 Remind me of the evidence so we can come to a decision together! Present your case to prove that you're right!
Atgādini Mani, lai mēs kopā tiesājamies, teic jel, kā tu vari taisnoties.
27 Your very first father sinned, and your leaders rebelled against me.
Tavs pirmais tēvs ir grēkojis un tavi aizstāvētāji pret Mani noziegušies.
28 So I treated the priests of the sanctuary with contempt, and I handed Jacob over to be destroyed, and Israel to be scorned.”
Tāpēc Es esmu licis negodā svētuma virsniekus un Jēkabu nodevis lāstam un Israēli kaunam.
