Jesajas 21
1 Spriedums par jūras tuksnesi. Tā kā aukas no dienvidiem(Negebas), kas visu apgāž, tā nāks no tuksneša, no briesmīgas zemes.
The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds come from the south, it cometh from the desert from a terrible land.
2 Grūta parādīšana man darīta zināma. Laupītājs laupa, postītājs posta. Nāc šurp, Elam, apstāj, Medija! Visām nopūtām par tiem es darīšu galu.
A grievous vision is told me: he that is unfaithful dealeth unfaithfully: and he that is a spoiler, spoileth. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Mede: I have made all the mourning thereof to cease.
3 Tādēļ mani gurni dreb, raizes mani sagrābušas, kā dzemdētājas raizes. Es lokos, ka vairs nedzirdu, un iztrūcinājos, ka vairs neredzu.
Therefore are my loins filled with pain, anguish hath taken hold of me, as the anguish of a woman in labour: I fell down at the hearing of it, I was troubled at the seeing of it.
4 Mana sirds trīc, izbailes mani iztrūcina, mīļā nakts tumsa man palikusi par biedēkli.
My heart failed, darkness amazed me: Babylon my beloved is become a wonder to me.
5 Sataisi galdu, nostādi vaktis, ēd, dzer! Ceļaties, virsnieki, svaidat bruņas.
Prepare the table, behold in the watchtower them that eat and drink: arise, ye princes, take up the shield.
6 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej, nostādi vaktnieku, lai tas stāsta, ko redz.
For thus hath the Lord said to me: Go, and set a watchman: and whatsoever he shall see, let him tell.
7 Un viņš redzēja ratus, jātniekus pa pāriem, ēzeļu pulku, kamieļu pulku, un viņš klausīdamies klausījās it uzmanīgi,
And he saw a chariot with two horsemen, a rider upon an ass, and a rider upon a camel: and he beheld them diligently with much heed.
8 Un sauca ar lauvas balsi: Kungs, es stāvu uz vakts torņa visu cauru dienu un vaktēdams vaktēju caurām naktīm.
And a lion cried out: I am upon the watchtower of the Lord, standing continually by day: and I am upon my ward, standing whole nights.
9 Redzi, tur nāk rati ar vīriem un jātnieki pa pāriem. Tad viņš atbildēja un sacīja: kritusi, kritusi Bābele, un visi viņas dievekļu tēli ir sadauzīti pie zemes.
Behold this man cometh, the rider upon the chariot with two horsemen, and he answered, and said: Babylon is fallen, she is fallen, and all the graven gods thereof are broken unto the ground.
10 Ak tu mans izkultais, tu mana klona labībiņa! Ko es esmu dzirdējis no Tā Kunga Cebaot, Israēla Dieva, to jums esmu pasludinājis.
O my thrashing and the children of my door, that which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared unto you.
11 Spriedums par Dumu: uz mani sauc no Seīra: sargs, cik gara vēl nakts? Sargs, cik gara vēl nakts?
The burden of Duma calleth to me out of Seir: Watchman, what of the eight? watchman, what of the night?
12 Tas sargs saka: rīts nāk un atkal nakts. Ja gribat vaicāt, vaicājiet! Atgriežaties, nāciet!
The watchman said: The morning cometh, also the night: if you seek, seek: return, come.
13 Spriedums par Arābiju: Arābijas tuksnešos paliekat par nakti, jūs Dedana ceļa vīri.
The burden in Arabia. In the forest at evening you shall sleep, in the paths of Dedanim.
14 Nāciet izslāpušiem pretī ar ūdeni, jūs Temas zemes iedzīvotāji, pasniedziet maizi bēdzējiem.
Meeting the thirsty bring him water, you that inhabit the land of the south, meet with bread him that fleeth.
15 Jo tie bēg no zobena, no izvilkta zobena un no uzvilkta stopa un no briesmīgas kaujas.
For they are fled from before the swords, from the sword that hung over them, from the bent bow, from the face of a grievous battle.
16 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: gada laikā, kādi ir algādža gadi, tad beigsies visa Ķedara godība.
For thus saith the Lord to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Cedar shall be taken away.
17 Un strēlnieku atlikums no tiem vareniem Ķedara bērniem būs mazums; jo Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, to ir runājis.
And the residue of the number of strong archers of the children of Cedar shall be diminished: for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.
