Kīrs – Dieva svaidītais
1 Tā saka Kungs savam svaidītajam, Kīram,
ko es esmu satvēris pie labās rokas,
lai viņam pakļautu tautas,
lai ķēniņiem gurnautus atraisītu –
viņa priekšā vērsies durvis
un vārtus neaizdarīs!
2 “Es iešu tev pa priekšu
un nolīdzināšu kalnus,
sadragāšu vara durvis
un satriekšu dzelzs aizšaujamos!
3 Es došu tev dārgumus, kas tumsā,
un apslēptas dārglietas,
lai tu zinātu, ka es esmu Kungs,
kas tevi vārdā saucis, –
es, Israēla Dievs!
4 Mana kalpa Jēkaba un mana izredzētā Israēla dēļ
es tevi saucu vārdā un tevi pagodināju,
kaut tu mani nepazini!
5 Es esmu Kungs, nav neviena cita,
nav cita Dieva, tik es,
es apjozu tevi,
kaut tu mani nepazini!
6 No saules lēkta līdz vakariem lai zināms,
ka nav neviena bez manis,
es esmu Kungs, un nav cita!
7 Es darinu gaismu un radu tumsu,
es dodu mieru un radu ļaunu,
es esmu Kungs, kas to visu dara!
8 Lejiet lietu, jūs debesis, augšā,
padebesis lai taisnību raso,
lai zeme atveras un glābšana dīgst,
un taisnība sazeļ –
es, Kungs, to radījis!
9 Vai! tam, kas savu Radītāju apstrīd –
tas tik šķemba no māla trauka!
Vai māls teiks savam veidotājam:
ko tu taisi? –
Darbs prasīs darītājam:
vai tev nav roku? –
10 Vai! tam, kas saka tēvam:
kādēļ tu dzemdini? –
un sievai: kādēļ tu dzemdē? –
11 Tā saka Kungs,
Israēla Svētais un Radītājs:
par nākamām lietām jautājiet man!
Par maniem dēliem un to, ko es darījis, –
man prasiet!
12 Es taisīju zemi
un radīju uz tās cilvēku,
ar savām rokām izpletu debesis
un visiem to pulkiem pavēlēju!
13 Es viņu atmodināju taisnībā,
visus viņa ceļus es nolīdzināju,
viņš uzcels manu pilsētu,
manus gūstekņus atsvabinās –
ne par maksu un ne par algu!”
saka Pulku Kungs.
14 Tā saka Kungs:
“Ēģiptes labumi un Kūšas preces,
un sebiešu turīgie vīri –
tie tiks tev un būs tavi,
tie staigās tev pakaļ važās,
tie zemosies tev un tevi lūgsies:
tik tev ir Dievs, nevienam citam nav Dieva!”
15 Tiešām tu esi apslēpies Dievs,
Israēla Dievs, Glābējs!
16 Apkaunoti un piebeigti tie visi,
staigā kaunā elku taisītāji!
17 Israēls glābsies pie Kunga,
paglābts uz mūžiem,
nepaliks kaunā un apsmieklā
nekad un nemūžam!
18 Jo tā saka Kungs,
kas radījis debesis,
viņš ir Dievs,
kas taisījis zemi un veidojis to,
viņš to ir iedibinājis, tā nestāv tukša,
viņš to radījis, kur ļaudīm dzīvot!
“Es esmu Kungs, un nav cita!
19 Ne noslēpumos es runāju,
ne kādā tumšā vietā uz zemes,
es nesacīju Jēkaba pēcnācējiem:
tukšībā meklējiet mani, –
es esmu Kungs, kas taisnību runā
un saka, kas patiess!
Vienīgi Kungā ir taisnība un palīdzība
20 Sapulcējieties un nāciet šurp visi,
kas tautās izglābušies!
Nav sajēgas tiem,
kas koka dievekļus apkārt staipa
un pielūdz dievu, kas nevar glābt!
21 Runājiet un apspriedieties,
tad visi kopā padomu rodiet –
kurš bija tas, kas jau sen to teica,
kas jau no senlaikiem stāstīja –
es esmu Kungs,
un nav cita Dieva bez manis,
taisns un glābējs Dievs –
nav cita Dieva bez manis!
22 Pievērsieties man,
un jūs būsiet glābti,
jūs, kas visās zemes malās,
jo es esmu Dievs un nav cita!
23 Pats pie sevis es esmu zvērējis,
mana mute taisnību runājusi,
vārdus, kas neatsaucami, –
manā priekšā locīsies visi ceļi,
un man zvērēs ik mēle!
24 Vienīgi Kungs,
tā teiks par mani,
taisnīgs un stiprs!
Tad ies pie viņa;
kaunā paliks visi,
kas strīdā ar viņu!
25 Kungu taisnībā slavē
visi Israēla pēcnācēji!”
1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. 4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 ¶ I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things . 8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. 9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. 14 Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying , Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. 15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. 16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols. 17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. 18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. 19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 ¶ Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
