Jeremiah 37
1 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made Zedekiah son of Josiah the king of Judah, and he reigned in place of Coniah son of Jehoiakim.
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija, Josijas dēls, valdīja Jekanijas, Jojaķima dēla, vietā; to Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija iecēlis par ķēniņu Jūda zemē.
2 But he and his officers and the people of the land refused to obey the words that the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
Bet ne viņš, ne viņa kalpi, ne tie ļaudis tai zemē neklausīja Tā Kunga vārdiem, ko viņš bija runājis caur pravieti Jeremiju.
3 Yet King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet with the message, “Please pray to the LORD our God for us!”
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sūtīja Juhalu, Šelemijas dēlu, un priesteri Cefaniju, Mazejas dēlu, pie pravieša Jeremijas un lika sacīt: lūdz jel par mums To Kungu, mūsu Dievu.
4 Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison.
Jo Jeremija gāja vēl iekšā un ārā starp tiem ļaudīm un vēl nebija cietumā ielikts.
5 Pharaoh’s army had left Egypt, and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
Un Faraona karaspēks bija cēlies no Ēģiptes zemes, un tie Kaldeji, kas ap Jeruzālemi bija apmetušies, to baumi par tiem dzirdējuši, no Jeruzālemes bija aizgājuši.
6 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet:
Tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Jeremiju sacīdams:
7 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says that you are to tell the king of Judah, who sent you to Me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to help you, will go back to its own land of Egypt.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: tā jums būs atsacīt Jūda ķēniņam, kas jūs pie Manis sūtījis, Mani vaicāt: redzi, Faraona karaspēks, kas jums izgājis palīgā, griezīsies atpakaļ uz savu zemi, uz Ēģipti.
8 Then the Chaldeans will return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down.
Un Kaldeji nāks atpakaļ un karos pret šo pilsētu un to uzņems un to sadedzinās ar uguni.
9 This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, ‘The Chaldeans will go away for good,’ for they will not!
Tā saka Tas Kungs: nepieviļat savas dvēseles, sacīdami: Kaldeji tiešām no mums aizies projām, - jo tie neaizies.
10 Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans that is fighting against you, and only wounded men remained in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city down.”
Jo jebšu jūs kautu visu Kaldeju spēku, kas pret jums karo, un atliktos no tiem (tikai) kādi ievainoti vīri, tad tie celsies ikkatrs savā teltī un sadedzinās šo pilsētu ar uguni.
11 When the Chaldean army withdrew from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Un notikās, kad Kaldeju spēks no Jeruzālemes bija aizgājis priekš Faraona karaspēka,
12 Jeremiah started to leave Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to claim his portion there among the people.
Tad Jeremija izgāja no Jeruzālemes, iet uz Benjamina zemi un tur uzņemt savu daļu to ļaužu vidū.
13 But when he reached the Gate of Benjamin, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, seized him and said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”
Un kad viņš nāca Benjamina vārtos, tad tur bija tas sargu virsnieks, Jerija vārdā, Šelemijas dēls, Kananijas dēla dēls, tas sagrāba pravieti Jeremiju un sacīja: tu gribi pāriet pie Kaldejiem.
14 “That is a lie,” Jeremiah replied. “I am not deserting to the Chaldeans!” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and took him to the officials.
Un Jeremija sacīja: tas nav tiesa, es nepāriešu pie Kaldejiem. Bet Jerija viņu neklausīja un sagrāba Jeremiju un to noveda pie tiem lielkungiem.
15 The officials were angry with Jeremiah, and they beat him and placed him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it had been made into a prison.
Un tie lielkungi apskaitās par Jeremiju un viņu sita un lika cietumā, rakstītāja Jonatana namā, jo to tie bija darījuši par cietuma namu.
16 So Jeremiah went into a cell in the dungeon and remained there a long time.
Tā Jeremija gāja cietumā tais pagrabos, un tur Jeremija sēdēja daudz dienas.
17 Later, King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and received him in his palace, where he asked him privately, “Is there a word from the LORD?” “There is,” Jeremiah replied. “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija sūtīja un lika viņu atvest, un ķēniņš viņu vaicāja paslepeni savā namā un sacīja: vai ir kāds vārds no Tā Kunga? Un Jeremija sacīja: ir. Un viņš sacīja: tu Bābeles ķēniņam tapsi dots rokā.
18 Then Jeremiah asked King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you or your servants or these people, that you have put me in prison?
Un Jeremija sacīja uz ķēniņu Cedeķiju: ko es esmu grēkojis pret tevi un pret taviem kalpiem un pret šiem ļaudīm, ka jūs mani esat likuši cietumā?
19 Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, claiming, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you or this land’?
Kur nu ir jūsu pravieši, kas jums sludināja un sacīja: Bābeles ķēniņš nenāks pret jums nedz pret šo zemi?
20 But now please listen, O my lord the king. May my petition come before you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”
Tad nu, klausi jel, ak kungs un ķēniņ! Lai jel mana lūgšana tavā priekšā ir pieņēmīga, un neved mani atpakaļ rakstītāja Jonatana namā, ka es tur nemirstu.
21 So King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread daily from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija pavēlēja, lai Jeremiju tura cietuma pagalmā, un viņam ikdienas tapa dots viens maizes rieciens no cepēju ielas, tiekams visa maize pilsētā bija apēsta. Tā Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā.
