Dieva taisnīgais spriedums
1 “Es atklājos tiem,
kas nevaicāja;
mani atrada tie,
kas mani nemeklēja.
Es teicu: es te! Es te! –
tautai, kas nepiesauc manu vārdu.
2 Es aizvien atvēru skaujas
pretestīgai tautai,
kas staigā nelabu ceļu,
pēc savām iedomām;
3 tautai, kas aizvaino mani
nemitīgi tieši sejā –
kas upurē dārzos,
kvēpina uz ķieģeļiem,
4 sēž kapu alās,
nakšņo slepenās vietās,
ēd cūkas gaļu,
kam nešķīsta vira traukos,
5 kas saka: “Tu paliec pie sevis!
Netuvojies man!
Jo esmu no tevis šķirta!”
Tie ir kodīgi dūmi man nāsīs,
uguns, kas deg visu dienu!
6 Redzi, kas rakstīts manā priekšā –
es neklusēšu, bet atmaksāšu,
un atmaksāšu tiem tieši krūtīs
7 viņu vainas un
viņu tēvu vainas pie viena!”
teica Kungs,
“tiem, kuri kvēpināja kalnos
un pakalnos zaimoja mani.
Un es atmērīšu
viņu agrākos darbus
tiem tieši krūtīs!”
8 Tā teica Kungs:
“Ja vien ir sula vīnogu ķekarā,
tad saka: neizposti,
jo ir svētība tajā! –
tāpat es darīšu
savu kalpu dēļ,
lai neizpostītu visu.
9 Es izvedīšu no Jēkaba sēklu,
no Jūdas – manu kalnu mantinieku,
un mani kalpi tur apmetīsies.
10 Šārona būs ganības avīm,
Āhoras ielejā atgulsies lopi
manai tautai, kas meklēja mani.
11 Bet jūs, kas atstājuši Kungu,
aizmirsuši manu svēto kalnu,
Laimnesim klājat galdu
un garšvielām jauktu vīnu
pildāt Likteņdieves kausā –
12 es lemšu jūs zobenam,
jūs visi kritīsit ceļos,
lai tiktu nokauti.
Jo es saucu, bet jūs neatbildējāt,
es runāju, bet jūs neklausījāties
un darījāt ļaunu manās acīs,
izvēlējāties to, kas man netīk.”
13 Tādēļ tā teica Kungs Dievs:
“Redzi, mani kalpi ēdīs,
bet jūs būsiet izsalkuši,
redzi, mani kalpi dzers,
bet jūs būsiet izslāpuši,
redzi, mani kalpi līksmos,
bet jūs būsiet apkaunoti;
14 redzi, mani kalpi no sirds gavilēs,
bet jūs no sirdssāpēm brēksiet
un garā satriekti vaimanāsiet.
15 Jūs atstāsiet savu vārdu
maniem izredzētajiem kā lāstu:
lai nonāvē tevi Kungs Dievs! –
bet viņš savus kalpus
sauks citā vārdā!
16 Kas svētī sevi šai zemē,
sevi svētīs Dievā, patiesi!
Un, kas zvēr šajā zemē,
tas zvērēs Dievā, patiesi! –
Jo ir aizmirstas agrākās bēdas,
tās ir apslēptas manām acīm.
Jaunas debesis un jauna zeme
17 Jo es, redzi, radu
jaunas debesis un jaunu zemi.
Iepriekšējās vairs nepieminēs,
tās vairs nenāks ne prātā.
18 Bet priecājieties un līksmojiet
mūžam par to, ko es radu,
jo es radu Jeruzālemi priekam
un tās tautu – līksmībai.
19 Es priecāšos par Jeruzālemi
un līksmošu par savu tautu,
vairs nedzirdēs tajā
nedz vaimanas, nedz raudas.
20 Tur nebūs vairs zīdaiņa,
kas dzīvo vien dažas dienas,
nedz sirmgalvja,
kas savu dienu mēru neizdzīvo.
Kas simts gados nomiris,
tas būs vēl jauneklis,
kas nesasniegs simts gadus,
būs ticis nolādēts.
21 Tie namus cels un tajos dzīvos,
vīnadārzus stādīs un augļus baudīs.
22 Tie nebūvēs, lai dzīvotu citi,
un nestādīs, lai baudītu citi.
Jo kā koka mūžs
būs manas tautas mūžs,
mani izredzētie paši
izmantos savu roku darbu.
23 Viņu pūliņi nebūs velti,
un bērni tiem nedzims postam,
tie būs Kunga svētības sēkla
un viņu pēcnācēji ar tiem.
24 Un būs tā –
pirms viņi sauks,
es jau atbildēšu,
vēl viņi runās,
es jau uzklausīšu.
25 Vilks un jēriņš ganīsies kopā,
un lauva ēdīs salmus kā vērsis,
bet čūskas barība būs pīšļi;
nedz ļauna, nedz posta nedarīs
visā manā svētajā kalnā,”
teica Kungs.
1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. 2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; 3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. 6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, 7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
8 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all. 9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. 10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11 ¶ But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. 12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: 14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. 15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: 16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 ¶ For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
