Jesajas 28
1 Ak vai, tam kronim, ar ko lepojās Efraīma piedzērušies, vai tai savītušai puķei, viņu goda glītumam, kas pušķo bagātās ielejas galvu tiem, kas vīna pārvarēti.
Tragedy is coming to the city of Samaria, the crowning glory of Ephraim's drunks, to the fading flower of wonderful beauty, sitting above a fertile valley, and beloved by those hammered by wine.
2 Redzi, viens stiprs un varens no Tā Kunga tā kā barga krusa, kā briesmīga vētra, tā kā vareni ūdens plūdi, kas varen uzplūst, tā Viņš gāzīs pie zemes ar varu.
Watch out, for the Lord has someone who is strong and powerful! He is going to smash it to the ground like a hailstorm and a tornado, like a torrential rain and an overwhelming flood.
3 Kājām samīs to kroni, ar ko lepojās Efraīma piedzērušies.
That crowning glory of Ephraim's drunks will be trampled underfoot.
4 Un tai vīstošai puķei, viņu goda glītumam, kas pušķo tās bagātās ielejas galvu, notiek kā agri ienākušai vīģei priekš lasāmā laika; tiklīdz kas to redz un dabū savā rokā, tas to tūdaļ apēd.
That fading flower of wonderful beauty, sitting above a fertile valley, will be like figs ripe before the summer harvest—as soon as people discover them, they grab and eat them.
5 Tai dienā Tas Kungs Cebaot būs par skaistu kroni un par krāšņu vainagu Savu ļaužu atlikumam,
At that time the Lord Almighty will be a beautiful, glorious crown that brings pride to those of his people who are left.
6 Un par tiesas Garu tiem, kas sēž tiesas amatā, un par stiprumu tiem, kas karu(ienaidu) dzen atpakaļ līdz vārtiem.
He will be an inspiration to the judges to do what's right, and he will encourage those who fight off the attacks on the gate.
7 Bet arī šie streipuļo no vīna un sajukuši no stipra dzēriena. Priesteris un pravietis streipuļo no stipra dzēriena, tie ir vīna pārvarēti, tie sajukuši no stipra dzēriena, tie streipuļo pie parādīšanām un klūp tiesu spriezdami.
But these people also drink so much wine and beer that they sway from side to side and stumble over. Even priests and prophets stagger along, their minds muddled by beer and wine. Because of the drink they are confused about visions and make mistakes when they give decisions.
8 Jo visi galdi ir pilni netīru vēmekļu, ka vietas vairs nav.
All their tables are full of vomit—filth is everywhere.
9 Kam tad tas atzīšanu mācīs, un kam tas mācību darīs zināmu? Tiem no piena atradinātiem, tiem no krūtīm nošķirtiem?
“Just who is he trying to teach knowledge to?” they ask. “Who is he explaining his message to? To children just weaned from milk, to babies just removed from the breast?
10 Jo (tie saka: ) pavēli uz pavēli, pavēli uz pavēli, likumu uz likumu, likumu uz likumu, maķenīt še, maķenīt te!
He tells us this blah and that blah, blah upon blah, and again blah and blah, and even more blah and blah! It's a bit here and a bit there.”
11 Tāpēc ar lūpām, kas stostās, un ar svešu mēli viņš runās uz šiem ļaudīm, kam viņš bija sacījis:
Fine—so now the Lord will talk to this people in foreign languages that sound strange to them!
12 „Še ir dusa, dodiet piekusušam atpūsties! Un še ir atspirgšana, “- bet tie to negribēja dzirdēt.
He had told them, “You can rest here. Let those who are tired rest. This is the place where you can safely relax.” But they refused to listen.
13 Tādēļ tiem notiks Tā Kunga vārds: pavēli uz pavēli, pavēli uz pavēli, likumu uz likumu, likumu uz likumu, maķenīt še, maķenīt te, ka tie ies un atpakaļ kritīs un sadauzīsies un taps savaldzināti un sagūstīti.
Therefore the Lord's message to them will become, “This blah and that blah, blah upon blah, and again blah and blah, and even more blah and blah, a bit here and a bit there,” so that they'll fall over backwards, and they'll be wounded, trapped, and captured.
14 Tādēļ klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, jūs mēdītāji, kas valda pār šiem Jeruzālemes ļaudīm.
So pay attention to the Lord's message, you scornful rulers who lead these people in Jerusalem.
15 Jo jūs sakāt, mēs derību esam derējuši ar nāvi un esam saderējušies ar elli; lai arī tādas pātagas nāk kā plūdi, tomēr tās mūs neaizņems; jo melus esam likuši sev par patvērumu, un apakš viltus esam apslēpušies. (Sheol h7585)
You claim, “We've made an agreement with death; we've got a contract with the grave. When the terrible disaster rushes by, it won't affect us, because our lies protect us and we hide in our own deceptions.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi, Es esmu, kas Ciānā liek pamata akmeni, izraudzītu akmeni, dārgu stūra akmeni, kas it stipri nolikts: kas tic, tas nebēgs.
Consequently, listen to what the Lord God says, Look! I'm laying a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a strong, well-tested stone. It's a valuable cornerstone that provides a firm foundation. Anyone who trusts in it won't be shaken loose.
17 Un Es iecelšu tiesu par mēru un taisnību par svaru, un krusa aizraus to melu patvērumu, un ūdens pārpludinās to slēpšanas vietu.
I will make justice as straight as a measuring line, and doing what's right the standard rule. Hail will destroy the protection of your lies, and water will flood the place where you're hiding.
18 Un jūsu derība ar nāvi taps iznīcināta, un jūsu līgums ar elli, tas nepastāvēs. Kad tās pātagas nāks kā plūdi, tad jūs no tām tapsiet samīti. (Sheol h7585)
Your agreement with death will be canceled; your contract with the grave will be revoked. When the terrible disaster rushes by, it will trample you underfoot. (Sheol h7585)
19 Cikkārt tās nāks, tās jūs aizraus, jo ik rītu tās nāks, dienu nakti. Tikai briesmas būs, dzirdēt to sludināšanu.
It will rush by time after time, dragging you away morning upon morning, day and night, rushing on and on. Once you understand this message you will be absolutely terrified.
20 Jo gulta ir īsa, ka nevar izstiepties, un apsegs šaurs, ka nevar ietīties.
The bed is too short so you can't stretch out; the blanket is too narrow so you can't cover yourself.
21 Jo Tas Kungs tāpat celsies kā pie Pracim kalna, Viņš tāpat dusmosies kā Gibeonas ielejā, Savu darbu darīt, - Viņa darbs būs dīvains, un Savu strādāšanu pastrādāt, Viņa strādāšana būs dīvaina.
The Lord will come on the attack like he did to the Philistines at Mount Perazim, like he shook them in the Valley of Gibeon, coming to do what he has to do, his strange work; coming to act as he must, his unusual action.
22 Nu tad, nemēdiet vairs, ka jūsu saites netop cietākas, jo es esmu dzirdējis izdeldēšanu, noliktu no Tā Kunga Dieva Cebaot pār visu zemi.
So don't mock, or your imprisonment will be even worse, for the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has explained to me his decision to destroy the whole country.
23 Griežat šurp ausis un klausiet manu balsi, ņemiet vērā un klausiet, ko es runāju.
Listen to what I'm saying! Listen and pay attention! Hear what I have to say!
24 Vai tad arājs vienmēr ars, kad grib sēt, kārtos un ecēs savu zemi?
Does the farmer spend all his time ploughing? Does he spend all his time preparing the soil?
25 Vai nav tā? Kad viņš to virsu ir līdzinājis, tad kaisa dilles un met ķimenes, vai sēj kviešus pēc kārtas, vai miežus, vai rudzus, ikkatru savā vietā.
Once he has everything ready doesn't he sow seeds like dill and cumin, doesn't he plant wheat and barley in rows, with spelt grain as a border?
26 Un viņa Dievs viņam rādījis, kā piederas, un viņu pamācījis.
His God gives him instructions and teaches him the right thing to do.
27 Jo dilles netop kultas ar ruļļiem, nedz bluķi top vesti pār ķimenēm, bet dilles top kultas ar spriguli, un ķimenes ar kulstekli.
You don't use a heavy tool to thresh dill! You don't use the wheel of a cart to thresh cumin! Instead you use a stick to beat out the dill, and a rod to beat out the cumin.
28 Vai maizes labība top sagrūsta? Nē, to nesakuļ pavisam; to izkuļ ar saviem bluķiem un zirgiem, bet nesagrūž.
Grain used for bread is easily damaged so you don't thresh it forever. When you drive your cart wheels over it with your horses, you don't crush it.
29 Arī tas nāk no Tā Kunga Cebaot, Viņš ir brīnišķīgs padomā un liels gudrībā.
This is also from the Lord Almighty who is very wise and gives great advice.
