Jesajas 40
1 Iepriecinājiet, iepriecinājiet Manus ļaudis, saka jūsu Dievs.
“Be consoled, be consoled, O my people!” says your God.
2 Runājiet laipnīgi ar Jeruzālemi un sauciet uz viņu, ka viņas karošana pagalam, ka viņas noziegums salīdzināts, ka viņa divkārtīgu tiesu dabūjusi no Tā Kunga rokas par visiem saviem grēkiem.
Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call out to her! For her malice has reached its end. Her iniquity has been forgiven. She has received double for all her sins from the hand of the Lord.
3 Saucēja balss ir tuksnesī: sataisiet Tam Kungam ceļu, dariet klajumā staigājamu ceļu mūsu Dievam.
The voice of one crying out in the desert: “Prepare the way of the Lord! Make straight the paths of our God, in a solitary place.
4 Visas ielejas taps paaugstinātas un visi kalni taps pazemoti, un kas nelīdzens, taps līdzens, un kas celmains, taps klajums.
Every valley will be exalted, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked will be straightened, and the uneven will become level ways.
5 Un Tā Kunga godība taps parādīta un visa miesa kopā to redzēs, jo Tā Kunga mute ir runājusi.
And the glory of the Lord will be revealed. And all flesh together will see that the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
6 Balss saka: Sauc! Un viņš saka: Ko man būs saukt? Visa miesa ir zāle, un viss viņas labums kā puķe laukā.
The voice of one saying, “Cry out!” And I said, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
7 Zāle nokalst, puķe savīst, kad Tā Kunga Gars pūš virsū; tiešām tie ļaudis ir zāle.
The grass has dried up, and the flower has fallen. For the Spirit of the Lord has blown over it. Truly, the people are like grass.
8 Zāle nokalst, puķe savīst, bet mūsu Dieva vārds pastāv mūžīgi.
The grass has dried up, and the flower has fallen. But the Word of our Lord remains for eternity.”
9 Ciāna, labas vēsts sludinātāja, kāp uz augstu kalnu; Jeruzāleme, labas vēsts sludinātāja, pacel savu balsi ar spēku, pacel to, nebīsties! Saki Jūda pilsētām: redzi, jūsu Dievs!
You who evangelize Zion, climb a high mountain! You who evangelize Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength! Lift it up! Do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah: “Behold, your God!”
10 Redzi, Tas Kungs Dievs nāk varens, un Viņa elkonis valdīs, redzi, Viņa alga ir pie Viņa, un Viņa atmaksāšana Viņa priekšā.
Behold, the Lord God will arrive in strength, and his arm will rule. Behold, his reward is with him, and his work is before him.
11 Viņš ganīs Savu ganāmo pulku kā gans, Viņš sapulcinās tos jērus Savās rokās un nesīs Savā klēpī un vedīs lēnītiņām tās grūtās avju mātes.
He will pasture his flock like a shepherd. He will gather together the lambs with his arm, and he will lift them up to his bosom, and he himself will carry the very young.
12 Kas izmērojis ūdeni ar sauju un apņēmis debesis ar sprīdi un satvēris zemes pīšļus ar sieciņu(mērtrauku) un nosvēris kalnus ar svaru un pakalnus svaru kausā.
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and who has weighed the heavens with his palm? Who has suspended the mass of the earth with three fingers, and who has weighed the mountains on a balance and the hills on a scale?
13 Kas ir pamācījis Tā Kunga Garu un bijis Viņa padoma devējs, kas Viņam būtu mācījis gudrību?
Who has assisted the Spirit of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor and has revealed things to him?
14 Pie kā Viņš padomu meklējis, ka tas Viņam saprašanu būtu devis un Viņam būtu mācījis tiesas ceļu, un Viņam būtu mācījis atzīšanu un Viņam zināmu darījis gudrības ceļu?
With whom has he consulted? And who has instructed him, and taught him the path of justice, and guided him to knowledge, and revealed the way of understanding to him?
15 Redzi, tautas ir kā pilīte pie spaiņa un kā puteklītis svaru kausā; redzi, Viņš salas paceļ kā putekļus.
Behold, the nations are like a drop of water in a bucket, and they are considered as the smallest grain on a balance. Behold, the islands are like a little dust.
16 Un ar Lībanu nepietiek priekš dedzināšanas, un ar viņa zvēriem priekš Viņa dedzināmiem upuriem.
And Lebanon will not be sufficient to start a fire, and its animals will not be sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 Visas tautas ir kā nekas priekš Viņa, un pie Viņa top turētas par nieku un par neko.
All the nations in his sight are as if they did not exist, and they are considered by him as if they were nothingness and emptiness.
18 Kam jūs līdzināsiet to stipro Dievu? Jeb kādu līdzību jūs Viņam gribat taisīt?
Therefore, to whom would you liken God? Or with what image would you replace him?
19 Gan amatnieks lej bildi un sudrabkalis to apvelk ar zeltu un pielej sudraba ķēdes klāt.
Should the workman cast a statue? Or has the goldsmith formed it with gold, or the silversmith with plates of silver?
20 Kas ir nabags, kam maz pie rokas upurēt, tas izmeklē koku, kas nesatrūd, viņš sev meklē gudru meistaru, taisīt bildi, kas nešķobās.
He has chosen strong wood that will not decay. The skillful artisan seeks a way to set up an idol that cannot be moved.
21 Vai jūs nezināt? Vai jūs nedzirdat? Vai jums no iesākuma nav stāstīts? Vai jūs neesat izpratuši zemes radīšanu?
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been announced to you from the beginning? Have you not understood the foundations of the earth?
22 Viņš sēž pār zemes virsu, un viņas iedzīvotāji ir kā siseņi. Viņš debesis izklāj kā smalku palagu un tās izpleš kā telti, kur dzīvo.
He is the One who sits upon the globe of the earth, and its inhabitants are like locusts. He extends the heavens as if they were nothing, and he spreads them out like a tent, in which to dwell.
23 Viņš lielus kungus dara par nieku un zemes soģus par neko.
He has brought those who examine what is secret to nothingness. He has brought the judges of the earth to emptiness.
24 Tā kā tie nebūtu ne dēstīti, ne sēti, nedz viņu celms iesakņojies zemē; kad Viņš uz tiem pūtīs, tad tie nokaltīs, un viesulis tos aizvedīs kā pelus.
And certainly, their stalk was neither planted, nor sown, nor rooted in the ground. He has suddenly blown across them, and they have withered, and a whirlwind will carry them away like chaff.
25 Ar ko tad jūs Mani līdzināsiet, kam Es būtu līdzīgs? Saka tas Svētais.
“And to whom would you compare me or equate me?” says the Holy One.
26 Paceļat savas acis uz augšu un skatāties, kas šīs lietas ir radījis un izved viņu pulku pēc skaita? Viņš tos visus sauc pie vārda pēc sava lielā spēka, un viņa stiprums ir tik varens, ka neviena netrūkst.
Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things. He leads forth their army by number, and he calls them all by name. Because of the fullness of his strength and robustness and virtue, not one of them was left behind.
27 Kāpēc tad tu saki, Jēkab, un tu Israēl, runā: mans ceļš ir priekš Tā Kunga paslēpts, un mana tiesa aiziet manam Dievam garām?
Why do you say this, O Jacob, and why do you speak this way, O Israel? “My way has been hidden from the Lord, and my judgment escaped notice by my God.”
28 Vai tu to nezini, vai tu to neesi dzirdējis? Mūžīgs Dievs ir Tas Kungs, kas zemes galus radījis; viņš nepiekūst un nenogurst, viņa prāts ir neizprotams.
Do you not know, or have you not heard? The Lord is the eternal God, who has created the limits of the earth. He does not diminish, and he does not struggle. Neither is his wisdom searchable.
29 Viņš piekusušiem dod spēku un vairo stiprumu nespēcīgiem.
It is he who gives strength to the weary, and it is he who increases fortitude and strength in those who are failing.
30 Jaunie piekusīs un nogurs un jaunekļi kritin kritīs:
Servants will struggle and fail, and young men will fall into infirmity.
31 Bet kas uz To Kungu paļaujas, dabūs jaunu spēku; tie skries uz augšu ar spārniem kā ērgļi, tie tecēs un nepiekusīs, tie staigās un nenogurs,
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will take up wings like eagles. They will run and not struggle. They will walk and not tire.
