Jesajas 6
1 Tanī gadā, kad ķēniņš Uzija nomira, tad es To Kungu redzēju sēžam uz augsta un uzcelta godības krēsla, un Viņa (drēbju) vīles piepildīja Dieva namu.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated in majesty on a high throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple.
2 Serafi stāvēja augšā ap viņu; ikvienam bija seši spārni; ar diviem tas apsedza savu vaigu, un ar diviem tas apsedza savas kājas, un ar diviem tas skrēja.
Seraphim stood above him, and each of them had six wings: They used two wings to cover their faces, two to cover their feet, and two to fly.
3 Un tie cits uz citu saucu un sacīja: svēts, svēts, svēts ir Tas Kungs Cebaot, visa zeme ir pilna viņa godības!
They were calling out to one another: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; his glory fills the whole earth.
4 Un sliekšņa pamati trīcēja no tām saucēju balsīm, un tas nams tapa pilns dūmu.
The sound of their shouts made the doorposts and doorsteps shake, and the Temple was filled with smoke.
5 Tad es sacīju: Ak vai, man! Jo man jāiet bojā, jo es esmu vīrs nešķīstām lūpām un dzīvoju starp ļaudīm, kam nešķīstas lūpas; jo manas acis redzējušas to Ķēniņu, To Kungu Cebaot!
I cried out, “I'm doomed! I'm going to die because I'm a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, for I've seen the King, the Lord Almighty!”
6 Tad viens no tiem serafiem atskrēja pie manis, un viņa rokā bija degoša ogle, ko viņš ar stangām bija ņēmis no altāra.
Then one of the seraphim flew over to me. He was holding a glowing coal that he had picked up with tongs from the altar.
7 Un viņš ar to aizskāra manu muti un sacīja: redzi, šī tavas lūpas aizskārusi, tā tavs noziegums no tevis atņemts, un tavi grēki salīdzināti.
He touched me on my mouth with it and told me, “Look! This has touched your lips, so now your guilt is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”
8 Un es dzirdēju Tā Kunga balsi sakām: ko Es sūtīšu un kas mums ies? Tad es sacīju: redzi, še es esmu, sūti mani.
Then I heard the Lord asking, “Who shall I send? Who will go and speak for us?” So I said, “I'm here! Please send me!”
9 Tad Viņš sacīja: ej un saki uz šiem ļaudīm: dzirdēt dzirdiet, bet nesaprotiet, un redzēt redziet, bet neņemiet vērā.
He replied, “Go and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but never understanding. Keep on seeing, but never comprehending.’
10 Apcietini šo ļaužu sirdi un dari viņu ausis biezas un apstulbo viņu acis, ka tie savām acīm neredz un savām ausīm nedzird un ar savu sirdi nesaprot un neatgriežas un netop dziedināti.
Make the minds of this people insensitive; make their ears deaf and shut their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their minds, and repent and be healed.”
11 Tad es sacīju: cik ilgi, Kungs? Un Viņš sacīja: līdz kamēr pilsētas būs izpostītas, ka vairs nav iedzīvotāja, un nami, ka vairs nav cilvēka, un zeme nopostīta par tuksnesi.
Then I asked, “How long will this last, Lord?” He replied, “Until towns are ruined and empty, houses are abandoned, and the land is devastated and destroyed;
12 Jo Tas Kungs cilvēkus aizdzīs tālu nost, un atstātu vietu būs daudz zemes vidū.
until the Lord sends the people far away and the country is totally deserted.
13 Un ja tanī vēl desmitā tiesa paliks, tad tā atkal ies postā. Bet kā ozols un kā liepa, kam celms paliek, kad to nocērt, - svēts dzimums būs tas celms.
Even though a tenth of the population remains in the land, it will be destroyed again. But in the same way as the terebinth and oak trees leave stumps when they're cut down, so the holy seed will remain as stump.”
