Jesajas 9
1 Bet tumsība nepaliks, kur (tagad) bēdas; pirmajā laikā Viņš kaunā licis Zebulona zemi un Naftalus zemi, bet pastara laikā Viņš cels godā jūrmalu, AizJardāni un pagānu Galileju.
In earlier times he made the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali of small value, but after that he gave it glory, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 Tie ļaudis, kas staigā tumsībā, redz lielu gaišumu; kas dzīvo nāves ēnas zemē, pār tiem spīd spožums.
The people who went in the dark have seen a great light, and for those who were living in the land of the deepest night, the light is shining.
3 To tautu Tu esi vairojis; lielu prieku Tu tai esi devis; tie priecāsies Tavā priekšā, tā kā priecājās pļaujamā laikā, tā kā līksmojās laupījumu dalot.
You have made them very glad, increasing their joy. They are glad before you as men are glad in the time of getting in the grain, or when they make division of the goods taken in war.
4 Jo viņu nastas jūgu un viņu muguras rīksti un viņu dzinēja dzenuli Tu esi salauzis kā Midijana laikā.
For by your hand the yoke on his neck and the rod on his back, even the rod of his cruel master, have been broken, as in the day of Midian.
5 Jo kurpes, autas uz kara troksni, un drēbes, apgānītas asinīm, taps sadedzinātas un no uguns aprītas.
For every boot of the man of war with his sounding step, and the clothing rolled in blood, will be for burning, food for the fire.
6 Jo viens bērns mums dzimis, viens dēls mums dots, un valdība ir uz Viņa kamieša; un Viņa vārds top saukts: Brīnums, Padoma devējs, Varenais Dievs, Mūžīgais tēvs, Miera lielkungs.
For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.
7 Lai valdība top vairota, un mieram nav gala uz Dāvida goda krēsla un Viņa valstībā, ka Viņš to sataisa un stiprina ar tiesu un taisnību no šī laika mūžīgi. To darīs Tā Kunga Cebaot karstums.
Of the increase of his rule and of peace there will be no end, on the seat of David, and in his kingdom; to make it strong, supporting it with wise decision and righteousness, now and for ever. By the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
8 Tas Kungs vienu vārdu ir sūtījis pie Jēkaba, un tas ir nolaidies pie Israēla.
The Lord has sent a word to Jacob, and it has come on Israel;
9 Un visi ļaudis to samanīs, Efraīms un Samarijas iedzīvotāji, kas lielībā un sirds lepnībā saka:
And all the people will have experience of it, even Ephraim and the men of Samaria, who say in the pride of their uplifted hearts,
10 Ķieģeļi gruvuši, bet ar cirstiem akmeņiem atkal uztaisīsim, meža vīģu koki ir nocirsti, bet viņu vietā stādīsim ciedru kokus.
The bricks have come down, but we will put up buildings of cut stone in their place: the sycamores are cut down, but they will be changed to cedars.
11 Jo Tas Kungs paaugstina Recina pretiniekus pār viņu un saskubina viņa ienaidniekus,
For this cause the Lord has made strong the haters of Israel, driving them on to make war against him;
12 Sīriešus no rītiem un Fīlistus no vakariem, ka tie Israēli ēd pilnā mutē. Ar visu to Viņa dusmība nenovēršas, un Viņa roka vēl ir izstiepta.
Aram on the east, and the Philistines on the west, who have come against Israel with open mouths. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Bet tie ļaudis negriežas pie Tā, kas tos sit, un nemeklē To Kungu Cebaot.
But the heart of the people was not turned to him who sent punishment on them, and they made no prayer to the Lord of armies.
14 Tādēļ Tas Kungs nocirtīs no Israēla galvu un asti, zaru un celmu vienā dienā.
For this cause the Lord took away from Israel head and tail, high and low, in one day.
15 Vecaji un augstie ir tā galva, bet pravietis, kas melus māca, tā aste.
The man who is honoured and responsible is the head, and the prophet who gives false teaching is the tail.
16 Jo šo ļaužu vadoņi ir viltnieki, un kas no tiem top vadīti, tie iet bojā.
For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.
17 Tādēļ Tas Kungs par viņu jaunekļiem nepriecāsies un neapžēlosies par viņu bāriņiem un atraitnēm, jo tie visi ir blēži un ļaundari, un ikviena mute runā blēņas. Ar visu to Viņa dusmība nenovēršas, un Viņa roka vēl ir izstiepta.
For this cause the Lord will have no pleasure in their young men, and no pity on their widows and the children without fathers: for they are all haters of God and evil-doers, and foolish words come from every mouth. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 Jo bezdievība deg kā uguns un aprij ērkšķus un dadžus un aizdedzina mežu biezumus un augsti dūmi paceļas gaisā.
For evil was burning like a fire; the blackberries and thorns were burned up; the thick woods took fire, rolling up in dark clouds of smoke.
19 Jo caur Tā Kunga Cebaot bardzību zeme kvēlo, un ļaudis ir kā uguns barība, un viens otru nežēlo.
The land was dark with the wrath of the Lord of armies: the people were like those who take men's flesh for food.
20 Pa labo roku rij, un tomēr ir izsalkuši, un pa kreiso roku ēd, un tomēr nav paēduši, ikkatrs ēd sava elkoņa miesu,
On the right a man was cutting off bits and was still in need; on the left a man took a meal but had not enough; no man had pity on his brother; every man was making a meal of the flesh of his neighbour.
21 Manasus Efraīmu, un Efraīms Manasu, un abi kopā pret Jūdu. Ar visu to Viņa dusmība nenovēršas, un Viņa roka vēl ir izstiepta.
Manasseh was making a meal of Ephraim, and Ephraim of Manasseh; and together they were attacking Judah. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
