Jesajas 42
1 Redzi, Tas ir Mans kalps, kam Es palīdzu, Manis izredzēts, pie kā Manai dvēselei labs prāts. Es savu Garu esmu licis uz Viņu, tautām iznest tiesu.
Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 Viņš nebrēks nedz pacels Savu balsi, un Viņa balsi nedzirdēs pa ielām.
He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.
3 Ielūzušu niedri Viņš nesalauzīs un kvēlošu dakti Viņš neizdzēsīs, Viņš tiesu nesīs ar patiesību.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
4 Viņš nenogurs un nesalūzīs, kamēr iecels tiesu virs zemes, un jūras salas cerēs uz Viņa bauslību.
He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgment on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
5 Tā saka Dievs, Tas Kungs, kas debesis radījis un izplāta, kas zemi izklājis ar viņas augļiem, kas dvašu dod tiem ļaudīm, kas tur mīt, un garu tiem, kas virs tās staigā.
Thus says the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:
6 “Es Tas Kungs Tevi esmu aicinājis iekš taisnības un Tevi satveru pie Tavas rokas un Tevi pasargāju un Tevi ieceļu par derību ļaudīm, par gaišumu pagāniem,
I the Lord God have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will strengthen you: and I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 Atvērt akliem acis un saistītos izvest no cietuma un no cietuma nama tos, kas sēž tumsībā.
to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.
8 Es esmu Tas Kungs, tas ir Mans vārds, un Savu godu Es citam nedošu, nedz Savu slavu elkiem.
I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.
9 Redzi, kas papriekš sludināts, tas ir noticis, un jaunu Es stāstu; pirms tas izplaukst, Es jums to dodu dzirdēt.”
Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yes, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.
10 Dziediet Tam Kungam jaunu dziesmu, Viņa slavu no zemes galiem; jūras braucēji ar viņas pilnumu, salas ar saviem iedzīvotājiem.
Sing a new hymn to the Lord: you [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.
11 Tuksnesis un viņa pilsētas lai paceļ balsi, un ciemi, kur Ķedars dzīvo; lai gavilē, kas dzīvo klints kalnos, lai tie sauc no kalnu galiem.
Rejoice, you wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Lai Tam Kungam dod godu un lai pasludina Viņa slavu salās.
They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.
13 Tas Kungs iziet kā varonis, kā karavīrs Viņš iekarsis dusmās; Viņš sauc, Viņš kliedz, Saviem ienaidniekiem Viņš rādās varens.
The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.
14 Sen laiku Es esmu klusu cietis, esmu klusu bijis un savaldījies. Bet nu Es brēkšu, kā sieva, kas dzemdē, elzdams un pūzdams ar varu.
I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.
15 Es postīšu kalnus un pakalnus un likšu sakalst visam viņu zaļumam un darīšu upes par salām, un izžāvēšu ezerus.
I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.
16 Un Es vadīšu aklus pa ceļu, ko tie nav zinājuši, Es tiem likšu staigāt pa tekām, ko tie nav pazinuši, Es darīšu tumsību priekš viņu acīm par gaismu un nelīdzenumu par līdzenumu. Tā Es darīšu un tos neatstāšu.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.
17 Bet atpakaļ būs griezties un palikt visiem kaunā, kas paļaujas uz elkiem un saka uz lietām bildēm: Jūs esat mūsu dievi.
But they are turned back: be you utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], You are our gods.
18 Klausāties, kurlie, un skatāties, aklie, un redziet.
Hear, you deaf, and look up, you blind, to see.
19 Kas ir tik akls kā Mans kalps un tik kurls kā Mans vēstnesis, ko Es sūtu? Kas ir tik akls kā Tas mīļais, un tik akls kā Tā Kunga kalps?
And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yes, the servants of God have been made blind.
20 Tu esi daudz redzējis, bet neesi ievērojis, ausis atdarījis, bet viņš nedzird.
You have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and you have not heard.
21 Tam Kungam bija labs prāts Savas taisnības dēļ, dot lielu un augstu bauslību.
The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.
22 Bet tie ir postīti un aplaupīti ļaudis, visi saistīti alās un apslēpti cietuma namos, tie ir palikuši par laupījumu, un nav neviena, kas tos izglābj, par postījumu, un nav neviena, kas saka: Atdod atpakaļ.
And I saw, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.
23 Kas jūsu starpā to liek vērā, kas uzmana un klausās, kas pēc būs?
Who [is there] among you that will give ear to these things? listen you to the things which are coming to pass.
24 Kas Jēkabu nodeva uz postu un Israēli laupītājiem? Vai ne Tas Kungs, pret ko esam grēkojuši? - Jo tie negribēja staigāt Viņa ceļos un neklausīja Viņa bauslībai.
For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor listen to his law.
25 Tāpēc Viņš pār tiem ir izgāzis Savas dusmības bardzību un kara briesmas, ka visapkārt dega; bet tie to neatzina, - un Viņš tos iededzināja, bet tie to neņēma pie sirds.
So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.
