Jesajas 64

1 Ak kaut Tu pārplēstu debesis un nonāktu zemē, ka kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!

Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,

2 Tā kā uguns iededzina žagarus, un kā uguns ūdeni dara uzverdam, - ka Tavs vārds tiktu zināms Taviem pretiniekiem, ka pagāni drebētu Tavā priekšā;

as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence.

3 Caur tiem brīnumiem, ko Tu dari mums negaidot, kaut Tu nonāktu zemē, kaut kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!

When you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.

4 Nemūžam nav dzirdēts, nedz samanīts, nedz acīm redzēts cits Dievs, kā vien Tu, kas tā dara tam, kas uz Viņu gaida.

Since ancient times no one has heard, and no ear has perceived, and no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

5 Tu nāci tiem tuvu, kas taisnību dara ar prieku, kas Tevi piemin uz Taviem ceļiem. Redzi, Tu esi apskaities, tāpēc ka mēs esam grēkojuši, un ilgi tā esam palikuši; vai tapsim izglābti?

You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Look, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we be saved?

6 Mēs visi esam kā nešķīsti, un visa mūsu taisnība kā sārņaina drēbe. Un mēs visi novīstam kā lapa, un mūsu grēki mūs aizrauj kā vējš.

For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

7 Un neviena nav, kas Tavu Vārdu piesauc, kas uzmostas un tveras pie Tevis. Jo Tu apslēpi Savu vaigu no mums un liec mums nīcin iznīkt caur mūsu grēkiem.

There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.

8 Nu tad, Kungs, Tu esi mūsu Tēvs, mēs esam māls, un Tu esi mūsu darītājs, un mēs visi esam Tavas rokas darbs.

But now, YHWH, you are our Father, and we are clay, and you are our potter; and we all are the work of your hands.

9 Neapskaisties, Kungs, tik ļoti, un nepiemini noziegumu mūžīgi, redzi, uzlūko jel, ka mēs visi esam Tavi ļaudis.

Do not be furious, YHWH, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.

10 Tavas svētās pilsētas palikušas par tuksnesi, Ciāna par tuksnesi, Jeruzāleme par postažu.

Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become like a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

11 Mūsu svētais un skaistais Dieva nams, kur mūsu tēvi Tevi slavējuši, ir sadedzināts ar uguni, un viss mūsu acu prieks ir bojā gājis.

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.

12 Kungs, vai Tu būsi ciets, šās lietas redzēdams? Vai Tu klusu cietīsi, un mūs tik ļoti apbēdināsi?

Will you refrain yourself for these things, YHWH? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
