Jesajas 21
1 Spriedums par jūras tuksnesi. Tā kā aukas no dienvidiem(Negebas), kas visu apgāž, tā nāks no tuksneša, no briesmīgas zemes.
A declaration about the desert by the sea. Like stormwinds sweeping through the Negev it comes passing through from the wilderness, 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 distressing vision has been given to me: the treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up and attack, Elam; besiege, Media; I will stop all her groaning.
3 Tādēļ mani gurni dreb, raizes mani sagrābušas, kā dzemdētājas raizes. Es lokos, ka vairs nedzirdu, un iztrūcinājos, ka vairs neredzu.
Therefore my loins are filled with pain; pains like the pains of a woman in labor have taken hold of me; I am bowed down by what I heard; I am disturbed by what I saw.
4 Mana sirds trīc, izbailes mani iztrūcina, mīļā nakts tumsa man palikusi par biedēkli.
My heart pounds; I shake with fear. Twilight was my desire, but it brought me terror.
5 Sataisi galdu, nostādi vaktis, ēd, dzer! Ceļaties, virsnieki, svaidat bruņas.
They prepare the table, they spread rugs and eat and drink; arise, princes, anoint your shields with oil.
6 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej, nostādi vaktnieku, lai tas stāsta, ko redz.
For this is what the Lord said to me, “Go, post a watchman; he must report what he sees.
7 Un viņš redzēja ratus, jātniekus pa pāriem, ēzeļu pulku, kamieļu pulku, un viņš klausīdamies klausījās it uzmanīgi,
When he sees a chariot, a pair of horsemen, riders on donkeys, and riders on camels, then he must pay attention and be very alert.”
8 Un sauca ar lauvas balsi: Kungs, es stāvu uz vakts torņa visu cauru dienu un vaktēdams vaktēju caurām naktīm.
The watchman cries out, “Lord, on the watchtower I stand all day, every day, and at my post I stand all night long.”
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.
Here comes a chariot with a man and a pair of horsemen. He calls out, “Babylon has fallen, fallen, and all the carved figures of its gods are broken to 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.
My threshed and winnowed ones, children of my threshing floor! What I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.
11 Spriedums par Dumu: uz mani sauc no Seīra: sargs, cik gara vēl nakts? Sargs, cik gara vēl nakts?
A declaration about Dumah. One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”
12 Tas sargs saka: rīts nāk un atkal nakts. Ja gribat vaicāt, vaicājiet! Atgriežaties, nāciet!
The watchman said, “The morning comes and also the night. If you want to ask, then ask; and come back again.”
13 Spriedums par Arābiju: Arābijas tuksnešos paliekat par nakti, jūs Dedana ceļa vīri.
A declaration about Arabia. In the wilderness of Arabia you spend the night, you caravans of Dedanites.
14 Nāciet izslāpušiem pretī ar ūdeni, jūs Temas zemes iedzīvotāji, pasniedziet maizi bēdzējiem.
Bring water for the thirsty; inhabitants of the land of Tema, meet the fugitives with bread.
15 Jo tie bēg no zobena, no izvilkta zobena un no uzvilkta stopa un no briesmīgas kaujas.
For they have fled from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the weight of war.
16 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: gada laikā, kādi ir algādža gadi, tad beigsies visa Ķedara godība.
For this is what the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a laborer hired for a year would see it, all the glory of Kedar will end.
17 Un strēlnieku atlikums no tiem vareniem Ķedara bērniem būs mazums; jo Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, to ir runājis.
Only a few of the archers, the warriors of Kedar will remain,” for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.
