Jeremiah 22
1 This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there,
Tā saka Tas Kungs: noej Jūda ķēniņa namā un runā tur šo vārdu
2 saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.
Un saki: klausi Tā Kunga vārdu, Jūda ķēniņ, kas sēdi Dāvida goda krēslā, tu un tavi kalpi un tavi ļaudis, visi, kas ieejat pa šiem vārtiem.
3 This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: nesiet tiesu un taisnību un izglābiet aplaupīto no spaidītāja rokas, un neplēšat svešinieku, bāriņu, atraitni, nedariet varas darbu un neizlejat šai vietā nenoziedzīgas asinis.
4 For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they and their officials and their people.
Jo kad jūs tā darīsiet, tad pa šā nama vārtiem ieies ķēniņi, kas sēdēs uz Dāvida goda krēsla, un brauks ar ratiem un zirgiem, pats un viņa kalpi un viņa ļaudis.
5 But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”
Bet ja jūs šos vārdus neklausīsiet, tad Es pie Sevis esmu zvērējis, saka Tas Kungs, ka šim namam būs palikt par posta vietu.
6 For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon; but I will surely turn you into a desert, like cities that are uninhabited.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs par Jūda ķēniņa namu: tu Man esi kā Gileāda, kā Lībanus galva, bet tiešām, Es tevi darīšu par tuksnesi un tās pilsētas bez iedzīvotājiem.
7 I will appoint destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars and throw them into the fire.
Jo Es pret tevi iecelšu postītājus, ikvienu ar saviem ieročiem; tie nocirtīs tavus labākos ciedru kokus un tos metīs ugunī.
8 And many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?’
Tad daudz pagānu šai pilsētai ies garām un sacīs cits uz citu: kādēļ Tas Kungs šai lielai pilsētai tā darījis?
9 Then people will reply, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and have worshiped and served other gods.’”
Un tie sacīs: tādēļ ka tie atstājuši Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, derību un zemē metušies priekš citiem dieviem un tiem kalpojuši.
10 Do not weep for the dead king; do not mourn his loss. Weep bitterly for the one who is exiled, for he will never return to see his native land.
Neraudiet par nomirušo un nežēlojiet viņu; raudiet raudādami par to, kas aiziet, jo tas neatgriezīsies atpakaļ, redzēt savas dzimtenes zemi.
11 For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum son of Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs par Šallumu, Josijas dēlu, Jūda ķēniņu, kas valda sava tēva Josijas vietā, kas no šās vietas aizgājis: viņš vairs negriezīsies atpakaļ,
12 but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”
Bet tai vietā, kurp tie viņu aizveduši, viņš mirs un šo zemi viņš vairs neredzēs.
13 “Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms without justice, who makes his countrymen serve without pay, and fails to pay their wages,
Vai tam, kas savu namu uztaisa ar netaisnību un savas istabas ar viltu, kas savam tuvākam liek velti strādāt, un tam nedod savu algu,
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a great palace, with spacious upper rooms.’ So he cuts windows in it, panels it with cedar, and paints it with vermilion.
Kas domā: es sev uztaisīšu augstu namu un plašas istabas, un liek sev logus izcirst un ar ciedru kokiem apsegt un ar sarkanumu apsvaidīt.
15 Does it make you a king to excel in cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He administered justice and righteousness, and so it went well with him.
Vai tu domā valdīt, tādēļ ka tu ar ciedru kokiem greznojies? Vai tavs tēvs neēda un nedzēra un darīja tiesu un taisnību? Tad viņam labi klājās.
16 He took up the cause of the poor and needy, and so it went well with him. Is this not what it means to know Me?” declares the LORD.
Viņš izdeva tiesu nabagam un bēdīgam, tad viņam labi klājās. Vai tas nav mani atzīt? saka Tas Kungs.
17 “But your eyes and heart are set on nothing except your own dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood, on practicing extortion and oppression.”
Bet tavas acis un tava sirds uz citu neskatās kā vien mantu krāt un nenoziedzīgas asinis izliet, apspiest un darīt varas darbu.
18 Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs par Jojaķimu, Josijas, Jūda ķēniņa dēlu: par to nevaidēs: vai, mans brāli! Vai, mana māsa! par to nevaidēs: vai, kungs! Vai, cienīgais.
19 He will be buried like a donkey, dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
Bet kā ēzeli aprok, tā viņu apraks, un viņš taps rauts un izmests tālu no Jeruzālemes vārtiem.
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out; raise your voice in Bashan; cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers have been crushed.
Kāp uz Lībanu un sauc un pacel savu balsi Basanā un brēc no Abarima, jo visi tavi mīluļi ir satriekti.
21 I warned you when you were secure. You said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from youth, that you have not obeyed My voice.
Es runāju uz tevi, kad tev vēl labi klājās, bet tu sacīji: es neklausīšu. Tas ir tavs ceļš no pašas jaunības, ka tu Manu balsi neesi klausījis
22 The wind will drive away all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Then you will be ashamed and humiliated because of all your wickedness.
Vējš aizraus visus tavus ganus, un tavi mīluļi ies cietumā; tad tu tiešām tapsi kaunā un par apsmieklu visas savas blēdības dēļ.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, nestled in the cedars, how you will groan when pangs of anguish come upon you, agony like a woman in labor.”
Tu uz Lībanus dzīvo un ciedru kokos taisi ligzdas, kā tev klāsies, kad tev sāpes uzies, mokas, kā dzemdētājai?
24 “As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off.
Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs: kaut arī Kanija, Jojaķima dēls, Jūda ķēniņš, būtu pie Manas labās rokas spiežamais gredzens, tomēr Es tevi no tejienes aizraušu.
25 In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life—to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans.
Un Es tevi nodošu rokā tiem, kas tavu dvēseli meklē, un tiem rokā, priekš kā vaiga tu bīsties, proti Nebukadnecera, Bābeles ķēniņa, un Kaldeju rokā.
26 I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born—and there you both will die.
Un Es izmetīšu tevi un tavu māti, kas tevi dzemdējusi, uz citu zemi, kur jūs neesiet dzimuši, un tur jums būs jāmirst.
27 You will never return to the land for which you long.”
Un tai zemē, kurp viņu dvēselei gribēsies atpakaļ griezties, turp tie neatgriezīsies.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot, a jar that no one wants? Why are he and his descendants hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?
Vai šis vīrs Kanija ir viens nieka sadauzāms pods, jeb vai viņš trauks, kas nevienam nepatīk? Kāpēc viņš un viņa dzimums atmesti uz to zemi, ko tie nepazīst?
29 O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!
Ak zeme, zeme, zeme! Klausi Tā Kunga vārdu!
30 This is what the LORD says: “Enroll this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime. None of his descendants will prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule again in Judah.”
Tā saka Tas Kungs: pieraksti šo vīru par neauglīgu, par vīru, kam savu mūžu labi neizdosies. Jo nevienam no viņa dzimuma labi neklāsies, kas varētu sēdēt uz Dāvida goda krēsla un turpmāk valdīt pār Jūdu.
