Jeremiah 4
1 If thou will return, O Israel, says Jehovah, if thou will return to me, and if thou will put away thine abominations out of my sight, then thou shall not be removed.
Ja tu atgriezīsies, Israēl, saka Tas Kungs, pie Manis atgriezīsies, un ja tu savas negantības Manā priekšā atstāsi un neskraidīsi apkārt,
2 And thou shall swear, As Jehovah lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. And the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him they shall glory.
Un ja tu zvērēsi: „tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo!“Ar patiesību, ar tiesu un ar taisnību, tad tautas iekš viņa svētīsies un ar viņu lielīsies.
3 For thus says Jehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs uz Jūda un Jeruzālemes vīriem: ariet sev jaunu zemi un nesējat ērkšķos.
4 Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Apgraizaties Tam Kungam un atņemat nost savas sirds priekšādu, Jūda vīri un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji, ka Mana bardzība neizšaujās kā uguns un nedeg, ka neviens nevar dzēst, jūsu nedarbu dēļ.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem, and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land. Cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.
Sludinājiet Jūdā un Jeruzālemē, liekat to dzirdēt un stāstiet, bazūnējat ar bazūni tai zemē, sauciet ar pilnu muti un sakāt: sapulcinājaties un iesim stiprās pilsētās.
6 Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety, do not stay. For I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Paceļat karogu uz Ciānu, bēgat, nestāvat. Jo Es atvedu nelaimi no ziemeļa puses un lielu postu.
7 A lion has gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations. He is on his way, he has gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
Lauva ceļas no sava biezuma, un tautu maitātājs nāk; viņš ir izgājis no savas vietas, tavu zemi darīt tukšu, lai tavas pilsētas top izpostītas, ka neviens tur vairs nedzīvo.
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us.
Tādēļ apjoziet maisus, žēlojaties un kauciet, jo Tā Kunga bardzības karstums no mums neatstājās.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, says Jehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the rulers, and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
Tai dienā, saka Tas Kungs, iznīks ķēniņa sirds drošība un lielo kungu sirds drošība, un priesteri izbīsies, un pravieši iztrūcināsies.
10 Then I said, Ah, lord Jehovah! Surely thou have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace, whereas the sword reaches to the life.
Tad es sacīju: ak Kungs, Dievs! Patiesi, šiem ļaudīm un Jeruzālemei Tu esi ļāvis kļūt lielā viltū, ka sacīja: jums būs miers! Kur tomēr zobens sniedzās līdz pat dvēselei.
11 At that time it shall be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse,
Tanī laikā sacīs uz šiem ļaudīm un uz Jeruzālemi: sauss vējš nāk no augstiem tuksneša kalniem pret Manu tautu, ne vētīšanas, ne tīrīšanas pēc.
12 a full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.
Vējš Man nāks, kas stiprāks būs nekā viņi, tad arī Es nesīšu tiesu pret viņiem.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots as the whirlwind. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For we are ruined.
Redzi, viņš cēlās kā debesis, un viņa rati ir kā viesulis, viņa zirgi ir čaklāki nekā ērgļi, - ak vai, mums, jo mēs esam postā!
14 O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou may be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?
Mazgā savu sirdi no ļaunuma, Jeruzāleme, ka topi izglābta; cik ilgi tu savas nelietības domas glabāsi savā sirdī?
15 For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:
Jo balss sludina no Dana un ziņo bēdas no Efraīma kalniem.
16 Make ye mention to the nations. Behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Dariet pagāniem zināmu, redzi, sludinājiet par Jeruzālemi: sargi nāk no tālas zemes, un tie paceļ savu balsi pret Jūda pilsētām.
17 They are as keepers of a field against her round about, because she has been rebellious against me, says Jehovah.
Kā sargi ap tīrumu, tā tie būs visapkārt pret viņu, tādēļ ka tā pret Mani cēlusies, saka Tas Kungs.
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things to thee. This is thy wickedness, for it is bitter, for it reaches to thy heart.
Tavs ceļš un tavi nedarbi tev to padara; tā ir tava blēdība, kas tik rūgta, ka tā sniedzās līdz pat tavai sirdij.
19 My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart. My heart is disquieted in me. I cannot hold my peace, because thou have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Ak manas iekšas, manas iekšas! Kā bērnu sāpes man spiežas caur manu sirdi, mana sirds lec iekš manis, es nevaru klusu ciest, jo mana dvēsele dzird bazūnes skaņu un kara troksni.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried, for the whole land is laid waste. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.
Posts pār postu tiek daudzināts. Jo visa zeme ir postīta, piepeši ir postīti mani dzīvokļi, acumirklī manas teltis.
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Cik ilgi jel man būs redzēt karogu, dzirdēt bazūnes skaņu?
22 For my people are foolish. They do not know me. They are sottish sons, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Tiešām, mani ļaudis ir traki un mani nepazīst; tie ir ģeķīgi bērni un neprātīgi. Tie gan ir gudri, ļaunu darīt, bet labu darīt tie nemāk.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.
Es uzlūkoju zemi, un redzi, tā ir tumša un tukša, - un debesi, un viņai nav sava gaišuma.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved to and fro.
Es uzlūkoju kalnus, un redzi, tie dreb, un visi kalni trīc.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Es lūkoju, un redzi, neviena cilvēka nav, un visi putni apakš debess ir aizskrējuši.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of Jehovah, and before his fierce anger.
Es lūkoju, un redzi, auglīgais lauks ir tuksnesis, un visas viņa pilsētas ir salauztas priekš Tā Kunga un priekš Viņa bardzības karstuma.
27 For thus says Jehovah: The whole land shall be a desolation, yet I will not make a full end.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: visa tā zeme būs postā, tomēr Es to neizpostīšu pavisam.
28 For this the earth shall mourn, and the heavens above be black, because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not relented, nor will I turn back from it.
Tādēļ zeme bēdāsies, un debess augšām aptumšosies, jo Es to esmu runājis un apņēmies, un tas Man nebūs žēl, un no tā Es neatkāpšos.
29 Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen. They go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks. Every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells in it.
Visas pilsētas bēgs no jātnieku un strēlnieku trokšņa, tie ies biezos mežos un kāps uz klints kalniem, visas pilsētas taps atstātas, un neviena nebūs, kas tur dzīvos.
30 And thou, when thou are made desolate, what will thou do? Though thou clothe thyself with scarlet, though thou deck thee with ornaments of gold, though thou enlarge thine eyes with paint, in vain thou make thyself fair. Thy lovers despise thee, they seek thy life.
Ko tu tad darīsi, tu postītā? Jebšu tu apģērbsies ar purpuru, jebšu tu izgreznosies ar zelta glītumu, jebšu tu savas acis darīsi jaukas, tad tu tomēr velti izgreznosies. Tie drauģeļi tevi apsmies, tie meklēs tavu dvēseli.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.
Jo Es dzirdu kā dzemdētājas balsi, vaidēšanu, kā no tās, kas cieš pirmās bērnu sāpes, Ciānas meitas balsi; tā vaid un izpleš savas rokas: ak vai, man! Jo manu dvēseli nomāc slepkavas.
