Jesajas 45
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs uz savu svaidīto, Kiru: Es to satveru pie viņa labās rokas, ka Es tautas viņa priekšā metu pie zemes, un atraisu ķēniņu jostas, un atdaru priekš viņa durvis, un vārti nepaliek aizslēgti.
The Lord says to the man of his selection, to Cyrus, whom I have taken by the right hand, putting down nations before him, and taking away the arms of kings; making the doors open before him, so that the ways into the towns may not be shut;
2 Es iešu tavā priekšā un darīšu līdzenus nelīdzenos ceļus, es salauzīšu vara durvis un sadauzīšu dzelzs aizšaujamos.
I will go before you, and make the rough places level: the doors of brass will be broken, and the iron rods cut in two:
3 Un Es tev došu mantas, kas tumsā, un apslēpto bagātību, lai tu atzīsti, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas tevi sauc pie vārda, tas Israēla Dievs,
And I will give you the stores of the dark, and the wealth of secret places, so that you may be certain that I am the Lord, who gave you your name, even the God of Israel.
4 Jēkaba, Mana kalpa dēļ, un Israēla, Mana izredzētā, dēļ. Un Es tevi saucu pie tava vārda, Es tevi mīlīgi uzrunāju, kad tu Mani vēl nepazini.
Because of Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself, I have sent for you by name, giving you a name of honour, though you had no knowledge of me.
5 Es esmu Tas Kungs, un cits neviens, dieva nav, kā Es vien. Es tevi esmu apjozis, jebšu tu Mani nepazini,
I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God but me: I will make you ready for war, though you had no knowledge of me:
6 Lai zināms top no saules uzlēkšanas un noiešanas, ka neviena nav bez Manis: Es esmu Tas Kungs, un cits neviens.
So that they may see from the east and from the west that there is no God but me: I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 Es ceļu gaismu un radu tumsu, Es daru mieru un radu ļaunumu. Es Tas Kungs daru to visu.
I am the giver of light and the maker of the dark; causing blessing, and sending troubles; I am the Lord, who does all these things.
8 Piliet, debesis, no augšienes, un padebeši lai izlej taisnību; lai zeme atveras un izdod pestīšanu, un taisnība lai līdz izaug: Es Tas Kungs to esmu radījis.
Let righteousness come down, O heavens, from on high, and let the sky send it down like rain: let the earth be open to give the fruit of salvation, causing righteousness to come up with it; I the Lord have made it come about.
9 Vai tam, kas pretī runā savam radītājam, poda gabals starp poda gabaliem no zemes! Vai gan māls saka uz savu taisītāju: ko tu dari? Jeb vai tavs darbs sacīs: viņam nav rokas?
Cursed is he who has an argument with his Maker, the pot which has an argument with the Potter! Will the wet earth say to him who is working with it, What are you doing, that your work has nothing by which it may be gripped?
10 Ak vai, tam, kas saka uz tēvu: kam tu dzemdini? Un uz māti: kam tu dzemdē?
Cursed is he who says to a father, To what are you giving life? or to a woman, What are you in birth-pains with?
11 Tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Svētais iekš Israēla un viņa Radītājs: Vaicājiet no Manis nākamas lietas; Manus bērnus un Manas rokas darbu pavēliet Man.
The Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, says, Will you put a question to me about the things which are to come, or will you give me orders about my sons, and the work of my hands?
12 Es esmu darījis zemi un radījis cilvēku zemes virsū. Es tas esmu, Manas rokas izplātījušas debesis, un Es pavēlu visam viņu spēkam.
I have made the earth, forming man on it: by my hands the heavens have been stretched out, and all the stars put in their ordered places.
13 Es viņu esmu uzmodinājis taisnībā un darīšu visus viņa ceļus līdzenus. Viņš uzcels Manu pilsētu un atlaidīs Manus cietumniekus, ne par maksu un ne par dāvanām, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
I have sent him out to overcome the nations, and I will make all his ways straight: I will give him the work of building my town, and he will let my prisoners go free, without price or reward, says the Lord of armies.
14 Tā saka Tas Kungs: ēģiptiešu padoms, Moru ļaužu manta un Zabieši, vīri garu augumu, nāks pie tevis un tev piederēs, un staigās tev pakaļ; saistīti tie atnāks un klanīsies priekš tevis, tie tevi pielūgs: Patiesi, Dievs ir ar tevi, un nav cita Dieva.
The Lord says, The workmen of Egypt, and the traders of Ethiopia, and the tall Sabaeans, will come over the sea to you, and they will be yours; they will go after you; in chains they will come over: and they will go down on their faces before you, and will make prayer to you, saying, Truly, God is among you; and there is no other God.
15 Patiesi, Tu esi apslēpts Dievs, Israēla Dievs, Pestītājs.
Truly, you have a secret God, the God of Israel is a Saviour!
16 Tie taps kaunā un par apsmieklu visi; tie aizies kopā ar kaunu, kas taisa elka dievus.
All those who have gone against him will be put to shame; the makers of images will be made low.
17 Bet Israēls top atpestīts caur To Kungu ar mūžīgu pestīšanu; jūs netapsiet kaunā nedz par apsmieklu mūžīgi mūžam.
But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.
18 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs, kas debesis radījis, tas Dievs, kas zemi iztaisījis un darījis; Viņš to ir cēlis, Viņš to nav radījis, ka būtu tukša, bet Viņš to taisījis, lai tur dzīvo: Es esmu Tas Kungs, un cits neviens.
For this is the word of the Lord who made the heavens; he is God; the maker and designer of the earth; who made it not to be a waste, but as a living-place for man: I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 Es neesmu slepeni runājis kādā tumšā zemes vietā. Es uz Jēkaba dzimumu neesmu sacījis: meklējiet Mani velti! Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas runā taisnību un sludina patiesību.
I have not given my word in secret, in a place in the underworld; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Go into a waste land to make request of me: I the Lord say what is true, my word is righteousness.
20 Sapulcējaties un nāciet, tuvojaties visi līdz, kas izglābti no pagāniem! Tie nezin nenieka, kas apkārt nēsā savus izgrieztos koka tēlus, un pielūdz dievu, kas nevar izpestīt.
Come together, even come near, you nations who are still living: they have no knowledge who take up their image of wood, and make prayer to a god in whom is no salvation.
21 Sludiniet un nāciet klāt, sarunājaties kopā. Kas to ir darījis zināmu no veciem laikiem, kas to sen stāstījis? Vai ne Es, Tas Kungs? Un cita Dieva nav, kā Es vien, taisna Dieva un Pestītāja neviena nav, kā Es vien.
Give the word, put forward your cause, let us have a discussion together: who has given news of this in the past? who made it clear in early times? did not I, the Lord? and there is no God but me; a true God and a saviour; there is no other.
22 Griežaties pie Manis, tad jūs tapsiet pestīti, visas pasaules gali, jo Es esmu Dievs, un cits neviens.
Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have salvation, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
23 Es esmu zvērējis pie Sevis paša, taisnība no Manas mutes izgājusi, vārds, kas nav pārgrozāms: tiešām, visi ceļi Manā priekšā locīsies, visas mēles Man zvērēs.
By myself have I taken an oath, a true word has gone from my mouth, and will not be changed, that to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give honour.
24 Par Mani sacīs: tiešām, iekš Tā Kunga ir taisnības darbi un stiprums. Pie Viņa ies. Bet kas Viņam turas pretī, paliks kaunā.
Only in the Lord will Jacob overcome and be strong: together all those who were angry with him will be put to shame and come to destruction.
25 Iekš Tā Kunga taps taisnoti un lielīsies visi, kas no Israēla dzimuma.
In the Lord will all the seed of Israel get their rights, and they will give glory to him.
