Jesajas 29
1 Ak vai, Ariel, Ariel, pilsēta, kur Dāvids mitis, lai vēl gads ar gadu mijās, lai vēl svētki savā rindā pāriet.
Tragedy is coming to you Ariel, Ariel the city where David lived! Year after year you have your festivals.
2 Tad Es Arieli gribu apbēdināt, un tur būs vaidi un skumjas, un Man tomēr būs kā Ariels (Dieva lauva).
But I'm going to cause trouble for Ariel; the city will cry and mourn, it will be like an altar hearth to me.
3 Jo Es gan apmetīšos visapkārt pret tevi un tevi spaidīšu ar karaspēku un uzcelšu pret tevi vaļņus.
I will surround you, I will besiege you with towers and build ramps to attack you.
4 Tad tu tapsi pazemota, tu runāsi no zemes, un tava valoda skanēs klusiņām no pīšļiem, un tava balss būs kā burvja balss no zemes, un tava valoda čukstēs no pīšļiem.
You will be brought down, you will speak from where you're lying on the ground, mumbling in the dust. Your words will come like a ghost from the grave; your voice will be a whisper from the dust.
5 Un tavu ienaidnieku pulks būs tāpat kā smalki putekļi, un tas varas darītāju pulks kā vieglas pelavas, un tas notiks vienā acumirklī piepeši.
But then all your enemies will become like fine dust; all your cruel oppressors like chaff that's blown away. Then suddenly, in no time at all,
6 Tu tapsi piemeklēta no Tā Kunga Cebaot ar pērkoni un ar zemes trīcēšanu un ar lielu rūkšanu, ar viesuli un ar aukām un ar rijošu uguns liesmu.
the Lord Almighty will arrive with thunder, earthquake, and tremendous noise, with whirlwind, storm, and flames of fire that burn everything up.
7 Bet kā sapņa parādīšana naktī, tā būs visu pagānu pulks, kas karos pret Arieli, un visi, kas karos pret viņu un pret viņa pilīm un to spaidīs.
The nations besieging Ariel, attacking its fortifications and tormenting the people, they will all disappear as if it was a dream!
8 Tas būs tā, kā kad izsalcis sapnī redz, ka tas ēd, bet kad uzmostas, tad viņa sirds tukša, vai kā kad izslāpis sapnī redz, ka tas dzer, bet kad uzmostas, tad vēl ir izslāpis, un viņa sirds tvīkst. Tā būs ar visu pagānu pulku, kas karo pret Ciānas kalnu.
It will be like someone hungry dreaming that they're eating but who wakes up still hungry. It will be like someone thirsty dreaming of drinking but who wakes up still weak and thirsty. This is what it will be like for all your enemies, the ones attacking Mount Zion.
9 Iztrūcinājāties un brīnāties, paliekat stulbi un akli! Tie ir piedzērušies, bet ne no vīna, tie streipuļo, bet ne no stipra dzēriena.
Be shocked and amazed! Make yourselves blind so you can't see! Get drunk, but not from wine! Stagger around, but not from beer!
10 Jo Tas Kungs pār jums izlējis grūta miega garu, un jūsu acis, tos praviešus, Viņš ir aizdarījis, un jūsu galvas, tos redzētājus, apstulbojis.
For the Lord has made you very sleepy, and he has shut the eyes and covered the heads of those who speak for God and see visions.
11 Tādēļ jums visa parādīšana palikusi kā aizzieģelētas grāmatas vārdi, ko vienam dod, kas māk lasīt, un saka: lasi jel šo! Un viņš saka: es nevaru, ja tā ir aizzieģelēta.
This entire vision is like words in a scroll that is sealed shut. If you give it to someone who knows how to read and say, “Please read it,” they'll say, “I can't read it because it's sealed shut.”
12 Un to grāmatu dod vienam, kas nemāk lasīt, un saka: lasi jel šo! Un viņš saka: es nemāku lasīt.
If you give it to someone who doesn't know how to read and say, “Please read it,” they'll say, “I don't know how to read.”
13 Jo Tas Kungs ir sacījis: tādēļ ka šie ļaudis pie Manis nāk ar savu muti un Mani godā ar savām lūpām, bet viņu sirds ir tālu no Manis nost, un ka tie Mani bīstas pēc cilvēku baušļiem, kas tiem top mācīti,
The Lord says, “These people come and praise me with their words, and honor me with lip service, but their thoughts are miles away. Their worship of me only consists of them following rules people have taught them.
14 Tādēļ, redzi, Es joprojām ar šiem ļaudīm darīšu brīnišķi, brīnišķi un apbrīnojami, ka viņu gudro gudrība zudīs, un viņu prātīgo prāts apslēpsies.
So once again I will surprise these people with miracle upon miracle. The wisdom of the wise will die, and the insight of the insightful will disappear.”
15 Ak vai, tiem, kas savu padomu dziļi grib apslēpt no Tā Kunga, un kuru darbi notiek tumsībā, un kas saka: kas mūs redz un kas mūs pazīst?
Tragedy is coming to people who take such trouble to hide their plans from the Lord. They work in the dark and say to themselves, “Nobody can see us, can they? Nobody will know, will they?”
16 Ak tavu bezprātību! Vai māls turams podniekam līdzi, ka darbs sacītu par savu darītāju: viņš mani nav darījis, un tēls par savu tēlotāju: viņš neprot?
How perverse you are! It's as if the clay was thought of as making the potter! Should something made say to its maker, “You didn't make me”? Can the pot tell the potter, “You don't understand anything”?
17 Vai nav tikai mazs brīdis vēl, ka Lībanus taps darīts par auglīgu tīrumu, un auglīgais tīrums taps turēts par mežu?
It won't be long and the forests of Lebanon will be turned into a productive field, and a productive field will seem like a forest.
18 Un tai dienā kurlie dzirdēs grāmatas vārdus, un aklo acis redzēs no krēslas un tumsas.
At that time the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and the eyes of the blind will see through the gloomy darkness what's written there.
19 Un bēdīgiem būs atkal prieks iekš Tā Kunga, un nabagi starp cilvēkiem līksmosies iekš Israēla Svētā,
The humble will be even happier in the Lord, and the poor will find their joy in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Ka varas darītājam gals klāt, un mēdītājs beigts, un visi izdeldēti, kas uz blēņām domā,
Cruel people will no longer exist, the scornful will vanish, and those looking to do evil will be destroyed—
21 Kas viena vārda dēļ cilvēku notiesā un liek valgus tam, kas vārtos pārmāca, un taisno nospiež ar viltu.
those who say things to trick others into sin, those who trap people by legal arguments in court, those who lie to mislead the innocent.
22 Tādēļ Tas Kungs, kas Ābrahāmu atpestījis, saka uz Jēkaba namu: Jēkabs vairs netaps kaunā, un viņa vaigs vairs nenobālēs.
So this is what the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, says to the descendants of Jacob: “You don't need to be ashamed anymore; your faces won't grow pale with fright any longer.
23 Jo kad viņš, kad viņa bērni redzēs Manu roku darbu savā vidū, tad tie svētīs Manu Vārdu un svētīs to Svēto iekš Jēkaba un bīsies Israēla Dievu.
When you see all your children and everything I've done for you, then you will regard my character as holy, and you will respect the Holy One of Jacob. You will have reverence for the God of Israel.
24 Un tie, kam gars alojās, nāks pie saprašanas, un kurnētāji pieņems mācību.
Those who've gone astray will understand their mistakes; those who grumble will learn how to receive instruction.”
