Jesajas 47
1 Kāp zemē un sēdi pīšļos, jaunava, Bābeles meita; sēdies zemē, Kaldeju meita, goda krēsla nav! Jo tevi vairs nesauks par smalku un kāru(mīlīgu).
Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. You will no longer be called dainty and delicate.
2 Ņem dzirnas un mal miltus, atklāj savu apsegu, atsedz kājas, atklāj ceļus, brien caur upēm.
Take the millstone and grind flour; remove your veil, strip off your flowing robe, uncover your legs, cross the streams.
3 Tavs kailums taps atsegts, un tavs kaunums būs redzams, Es atriebšos un nežēlošu neviena.
Your nakedness will be uncovered, yes, your shame will be seen: I will take vengeance and will not spare a man.
4 Mūsu Pestītāja vārds ir Kungs Cebaot, tas Svētais iekš Israēla.
Our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sēdi klusu un lien tumsā, Kaldeju meita, jo tevi vairs nesauks par valstu valdnieci.
Sit in silence and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you will no longer be called queen of kingdoms.
6 Es biju dusmīgs par Saviem ļaudīm, Es liku negodā Savu mantības tiesu, un tos nodevu tavā rokā. Bet tu viņiem neparādīji žēlastības, tiem veciem tu uzliki savu ļoti grūto jūgu,
I was angry with my people; I defiled my heritage and gave them over into your hand, but you showed them no mercy; you placed a very heavy yoke on the old people.
7 Un sacīji: Es būšu mūžīgi valdniece; tā ka tu šīs lietas neesi pie sirds ņēmusi, tu neesi apdomājusi galu.
You said, “I will rule forever as sovereign queen.” You did not take these things to heart, nor did you consider how they would turn out.
8 Tad nu, klausies šo, tu vēlīgā, kas bez bēdām sēdi un saki savā sirdī: es un cita neviena! Es nepalikšu par atraitni un nebūšu bez bērniem.
So now hear this, you who love pleasure and sit securely; you who say in your heart, “I exist, and there is no one else like me; I will never sit as a widow, nor will I ever experience loss of children.”
9 Tomēr šīs divas lietas piepeši nāks pār tevi vienā dienā: bērnu nebūs, un atraitne būsi, ar pilnu mēru tas nāks pār tevi, ar visu tavu lielo buršanu un ar visu tavu varen lielo vārdošanu.
But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood; in full force they will come on you, despite your sorceries and your many incantations and amulets.
10 Jo tu esi paļāvusies uz savu blēdību un sacījusi: neviens mani neredz. Tava gudrība un tava zināšana tevi pievīlusi, un tu esi sacījusi savā sirdī: es un cita neviena!
You have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, “No one sees me”; your wisdom and your knowledge lead you astray, but you say in your heart, “I exist, and there is no one else like me.”
11 Tādēļ pār tevi nāks ļaunums ko tu nemācēsi atburt, un uz tevi kritīs posts, ko tu ar upuriem nevarēsi novērst, jo piepeši pār tevi nāks nelaime, ko tu neparedzi.
Disaster will overcome you; you will not be able to drive it away with your incantations. Destruction will fall on you; you will not be able to ward it off. Calamity will strike you suddenly, before you know it.
12 Paliec jel pie savas vārdošanas un pie savas lielās buršanas, ar ko tu esi darbojusies no savas jaunības, varbūt varēsi izpestīties, varbūt ko izbiedēt!
Persist in casting your spells and your many sorceries which you have faithfully recited since your childhood; perhaps you will be successful, perhaps you will scare away disaster.
13 Tu esi piekususi no savu padomu pulka. Lai jel nu ceļas un lai tevi glābj tie debess dalītāji un zvaigžņu skaitītāji, kas pēc mēnešiem ziņo to, kas pār tevi nāks.
You are tired out with your many consultations; let those men stand up and save you—those who chart the heavens and look at the stars, those who declare the new moons—let them save you from what will happen to you.
14 Redzi, tie ir kā rugāji, uguns tos aprīs, tie savas dvēseles nevarēs izglābt no varenas liesmas. Tās nebūs ogles, kur sildīties, nedz uguns, pie ka atsēsties.
See, they will become like stubble. The fire will burn them up. They will not save themselves from the hand of the flame. There are no coals to warm them and no fire for them to sit by!
15 Tādi tev būs tie, ar ko esi darbojusies, tavi biedri no tavas jaunības; ikviens maldīsies pa savu ceļu, neviens tevi neizpestīs.
This is what they have become to you— those with whom you have worked, and you have bought and sold with them since your youth— they wandered about each one in his own direction; there is no one who can rescue you.”
