Jesajas 14
1 Jo Tas Kungs apžēlosies par Jēkabu un atkal izredzēs Israēli un tos pārvedīs savā zemē. Un svešinieki ar tiem biedrosies un pieķersies Jēkaba namam.
But the Lord will be merciful to the descendants of Jacob. Once again he will choose Israel and he will bring them back to live once more in their own land. Foreigners will come and join them there, and they will unite with the descendants of Jacob.
2 Un tautas tos ņems un vadīs uz viņu vietām, un Israēla nams Tā Kunga zemē tos iemantos par kalpiem un kalponēm, un tie tos turēs cietumā, kas viņus bija cietumā turējuši, un valdīs par saviem dzinējiem.
Nations will go with them and escort them to their own land. The foreigners who stay in the Lord's land will serve the Israelites. In this way the captors become their captives, and they rule over their former oppressors.
3 Un notiks tai dienā, kad Tas Kungs tev dusu dos no tavām sāpēm un no tavām izbailēm un no tās grūtās kalpošanas, ar ko tie tevi kalpinājuši,
At that time the Lord will give you relief from your pain and trouble, and from the hard labor you were forced to do.
4 Tad tu šo dziesmu dziedāsi pret Bābeles ķēniņu un sacīsi: Kā tas dzinējs pagalam! Kā tie spaidi pagalam!
You will mock the king of Babylon, saying, “How your oppressive rule has been ended, and your insolence stopped!
5 Tas Kungs bezdievīgiem salauzis zizli, valdītājiem rīksti,
The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked, the rulers' scepter.
6 Kas ļaudis briesmīgi mocīja ar mokām bez mitēšanās, kas ar bardzību valdīja pār tautām, ar spaidīšanu bez gala.
You kept on furiously hitting foreign peoples without stopping, and aggressively ruled nations with unrestrained persecution.
7 Visa zeme dus un atpūšas, tā skanēt skan no gavilēšanas.
Now the whole earth rests peacefully, and everyone starts celebrating!
8 Un priedes priecājās par tevi un ciedru koki uz Lībanus (un saka): kamēr tu guli pie zemes, neviens nenāk, mūs nocirst.
The cypress and cedar trees are glad you're gone. They sing, ‘Since you were cut down no woodcutters are coming to cut us down!’
9 Elle apakšā tevis dēļ rīb, tev pretim ejot; kad tu nāci, viņa tevis dēļ uzmodina mirušos, visus zemes lielkungus, viņa visiem tautu ķēniņiem liek celties no krēsliem. (Sheol h7585)
Those in the grave beneath are keen to meet you when you arrive. It wakes the spirits of the dead to welcome you, those of all the rulers of the earth. All the kings of the nations stand up from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
10 Tie visi runā un saka uz tevi: arī tu esi palicis bez spēka tā kā mēs, tu mums palicis līdzīgs.
They will all speak up and tell you, ‘So you too are as weak as we are—you've become just like us!
11 Tava greznība nogrimusi ellē un tavu kokļu skaņa; kodes būs tavas cisas, un tārpi tavs apsegs. (Sheol h7585)
Your pride is now buried with you in the grave, along with the harp music you loved. Maggots are the bed you lie on, and worms are your blanket.’ (Sheol h7585)
12 Kā tu esi kritis no debesīm, tu rīta zvaigzne, tu ausekļa dēls! Kā tu nocirsts zemē, kas tautas pārvarēji?
Morning star, son of the dawn, how you have fallen from heaven! Destroyer of nations, you have been cut down to the ground!
13 Un tu sacīji savā sirdī: es uzkāpšu debesīs, es paaugstināšu savu goda krēslu pār Dieva zvaigznēm, es apsēdīšos uz saiešanas kalna ziemeļu galā,
You said to yourself: ‘I will ascend to heaven. I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned on the mountain of meeting, the summit of the northern mountain.
14 Es uzkāpšu padebešu kalnos, tam Visuaugstajam es līdzināšos.
I will ascend to the high places above the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
But you are dragged down to the grave, into the depths of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Kas tevi redz, tie uz tevi skatās un tevi aplūko: vai šis tas vīrs, kas zemi kustināja un darīja valstis drebam.
Those who see you will stare at you, examining you closely, asking, ‘Is this the man who shook the earth, who made kingdoms tremble?
17 Kas pasauli pārvērta par tuksnesi un viņas pilsētas postīja, kas viņas ļaudis no cietuma neatlaida mājās?
Is this the one who turned the world into a desert, destroyed cities, and never let his prisoners return home?’
18 Visi tautu ķēniņi, tie visi guļ zemē ar godu, ikviens savā namā.
All the other kings of the nations lie in splendor in their great mausoleums.
19 Bet tu esi tālu atmests no sava kapa, kā nieka žagars, apklāts ar nokautiem, zobena nodurtiem, kas grimst akmeņu bedrē, - tā kā samīta maita.
But you are thrown out of your grave like a branch nobody wants, buried underneath the bodies of those killed by the sword. You are like a corpse trodden underfoot. You are tossed into a pit full of rocks—
20 Ar viņiem kopā tu nebūsi kapā; jo savu zemi tu esi postījis un nokāvis savus ļaudis; ļauna darītāju dzimums netiks pieminēts mūžīgi.
you will not be buried like those other kings because you destroyed your own land and killed your own people. The descendants of those who do evil will never survive.
21 Taisāties kaut viņa bērnus viņu tēvu nozieguma dēļ, ka tie neceļas un zemi neiemanto un nepiepilda pasauli ar pilsētām.
Get ready to execute his sons because of their fathers' sins. Don't let them take over the earth; don't let them fill the whole world with their cities.
22 Jo Es celšos pret tiem, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, un izdeldēšu no Bābeles vārdu un dzimumu un bērnu un bērna bērnu, saka Tas Kungs.
I will come and attack them, declares the Lord Almighty. I will destroy everything: their reputation, those who remain, their children, and their descendants, says the Lord.
23 Un Es to došu par īpašumu ežiem un par ūdens purvu, un Es tos izmēzīšu ar izdeldēšanas slotu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
I will make Babylon into a place for water birds and into marshland. I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction, declares the Lord Almighty.”
24 Tas Kungs Cebaot ir zvērējis un sacījis: tiešām, kā Es esmu nodomājis, tā notiks, un kā Es esmu nospriedis, tā būs,
The Lord Almighty has sworn an oath: It will be as I have planned. It will happen as I have decided.
25 Ka Es Asuru satriekšu Savā zemē, un uz Saviem kalniem viņu samīdīšu, ka viņa jūgs no tiem top atņemts un viņa nasta zūd no viņu pleciem.
I will smash the Assyrians when they are in my country Israel; I will trample them underfoot on my mountains. I will remove their yoke from my people, and take away the burdens they place on my people's shoulders.
26 Šis ir tas padoms, kas nospriests pār visu zemi, un šī ir tā roka, kas izstiepta pār visām tautām.
This is the plan I have made regarding the whole earth; my hand stretches out to control all the nations.
27 Jo Tas Kungs Cebaot to nodomājis; kas to iznīcinās? Un Viņa roka ir izstiepta, kas to novērsīs?
The Lord Almighty has made his plan, and who will block it? His hand stretches out, and who will push back against it?
28 Tai gadā, kad ķēniņš Ahazs nomira, notika šis spriedums:
The following message came in the year King Ahaz died.
29 Nepriecājies, visa Fīlistu zeme, ka tā rīkste salauzta, kas tevi sita. Jo no čūskas saknes nāk odze, un viņas auglis būs spārnains pūķis.
All you Philistines, don't celebrate the fact that the rod that was hitting you is broken, because from the root of that snake will grow up a viper, its fruit will be a flying serpent.
30 Jo visupēdīgie nabagi baudīs pilnību, un tukšinieki apgulsies ar mieru. Bet tavu sakni Es nokaušu caur badu, un tavus atlikušos viņš kaus zemē.
The poor will have food, and the needy will live in safety, but you Philistines will die in a famine, and I will kill those who survive.
31 Kauciet, vārti! Kliedz, pilsēta! Izkūsti, visa Fīlistu zeme! Jo no ziemeļa puses nāk dūmi, un neviens no viņa pulkiem nenoklīst.
Howl, gates! Weep, town! Melt away in feat, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke is approaching from the north—an army with no soldier hanging back.
32 Un ko tad atbildēs tautu vēstnešiem? Ka Tas Kungs Ciānu stiprinājis un Viņa ļaužu bēdīgie tur atrod patvērumu.
What will be the answer given to the messengers from that nation? “The Lord was the one who laid the foundations of Zion, and that's where his suffering people will be kept safe.”
