Jesajas 57

1 Taisnais iet bojā, un nav neviena, kas to ņem pie sirds, un dievbijīgie top aizrauti, un neviens to neliek vērā. Jo taisnais top aizrauts, pirms ļaunums nāk.

The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.

2 Kas savu taisno ceļu gājuši, nāk pie miera un dus savos kambaros.

Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.

3 Bet jūs, nākat šurp, zīlnieces bērni, laulības pārkāpēja un maucinieces dzimums.

But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.

4 Par ko jūs smejaties? Pret ko jūs atplēšat savu muti un izstiepjat savu mēli? Vai jūs neesat pārkāpēju bērni un viltnieku dzimums?

Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,

5 Jūs esat sakarsuši uz dievekļiem apakš visiem zaļiem kokiem un nokāvāt bērnus pie upēm apakš akmens kalnu stūriem.

Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?

6 Pie gludeniem upes akmeņiem bija tava daļa, tā bija tava tiesa, un tiem tu izlēji dzeramu upuri un upurēji ēdamu upuri; vai Man ar to bija mierā būt?

In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?

7 Tu taisīji savu gultu lielā un augstā kalnā, ir tur tu uzkāpi, upurus upurēt.

Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.

8 Un aiz durvīm un stenderēm tu liki savu piemiņas zīmi, jo atstādamies no manis tu atsedzi un kāpi un taisīji platu savu gultu un līki ar tiem.

And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.

9 Tu iemīlēji viņu gultu un uzlūkoji to vietu. Tu gāji ar eļļu pie ķēniņa un nesi daudz smaržīgu zāļu, un tālu sūtīji savus vēstnešus un meties zemē līdz ellei. (Sheol h7585)

And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)

10 Tu nopūlējies savā garā ceļā un nesacīji: velti! Tu atradi jaunu spēku, tāpēc tu nenoguri.

Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.

11 Bet no kā tev bija bail un ko tu bijies? Jo tu paliki par meli un Mani nepieminēji un neņēmi pie sirds. - Vai nav tā, kad Es sen dienām klusu cietis, tad tu Manis nebīsties?

For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me.

12 Es darīšu zināmu tavu taisnību un tavus darbus, ka tie tev nepalīdzēs.

I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.

13 Kad tu brēksi, tad lai tev palīdz tavs (dievekļu) pulks; bet vējš tos visus aiznesīs, un vēsma tos aizraus. Bet kas uz Mani paļaujas, tas iemantos zemi un Manu svēto kalnu.

When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.

14 Un Viņš sacīs: līdziniet, līdziniet, sataisiet ceļu, atņemat šķēršļus no Manu ļaužu ceļa.

And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.

15 Jo tā saka tas Augstais un Varenais, kas dzīvo mūžīgi un kā vārds ir svēts: Es dzīvoju augstībā un svētā vietā un pie tā, kam sagrauzts un pazemīgs gars, ka dzīvu daru garu pazemīgiem un dzīvu daru sirdi sagrauztiem.

For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

16 Jo Es nebāršos mūžīgi nedz dusmošos bez gala; jo priekš Mana vaiga nonīktu gars un tās dvēseles, ko esmu radījis.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make.

17 Es biju apskaities par viņu grēcīgo mantas kārību un tos situ un apslēpos un apskaitos, taču tie atkāpušies aizgāja pa savas sirds ceļu.

For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.

18 Es ieraudzīju viņu ceļus, un tos dziedināšu, un Es tos vadīšu un došu prieku tiem, kas apbēdināti.

I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.

19 Es radīšu lūpu augļus: miers, miers lai ir tiem, kas tālu un kas tuvu, saka Tas Kungs, un Es tos dziedināšu.

I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.

20 Bet tie bezdievīgie ir kā aizkustināta jūra, kas nevar nostāties, un viņas viļņi izmet dūņas un dubļus.

But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.

21 Bezdievīgiem nav miera, saka mans Dievs.

There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.
