Jeremiah 9
1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night over the slain daughter of my people.
Ak kaut manā galvā jel būtu ūdens un manas acis taptu par asaru avotiem, tad es dienām naktīm apraudātu savas tautas nokautos.
2 If only I had a traveler’s lodge in the wilderness, I would abandon my people and depart from them, for they are all adulterers, a crowd of faithless people.
Ak kaut man tuksnesī būtu ceļavīra mājas vieta, tad es savus ļaudis atstātu un no tiem aizietu, jo tie visi ir laulības pārkāpēji, blēžu draudze.
3 “They bend their tongues like bows; lies prevail over truth in the land. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not take Me into account,”
Tie uzvelk savu mēli kā stopu uz meliem un ne uz patiesību, tie top vareni virs zemes, tie dodas no ļaunuma uz ļaunumu, bet Mani tie nepazīst, saka Tas Kungs.
4 “Let everyone guard against his neighbor; do not trust any brother, for every brother deals craftily, and every friend spreads slander.
Sargājaties ikviens no sava drauga, un nepaļaujaties ne uz savu brāli; jo brālis brāli krāpj, un draugs staigā draugu aprunādams.
5 Each one betrays his friend; no one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they wear themselves out committing iniquity.
Cits pret citu dzen viltību un nerunā patiesību, tie māca savu mēli melot, tie nopūlējās netaisnību darīdami.
6 You dwell in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to know Me,”
Tava mājas vieta ir pašas viltības vidū, caur viltību tie liedzās Mani pazīt, saka Tas Kungs.
7 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will refine them and test them, for what else can I do because of the daughter of My people?
Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: redzi, Es tos kausēšu un pārbaudīšu, - jo kā lai Es citādi daru Savas tautas priekšā?
8 Their tongues are deadly arrows; they speak deception. With his mouth a man speaks peace to his neighbor, but in his heart he sets a trap for him.
Viņu mēle ir nāvīga bulta, tā runā viltu, ikviens ar savu muti runā par mieru ar savu tuvāku, bet savā sirdī tam liek valgus.
9 Should I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD. Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt? saka Tas Kungs. Vai Manai dvēselei nebūs atriebties pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
10 I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains, a dirge over the wilderness pasture, for they have been scorched so no one passes through, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. Both the birds of the air and the beasts have fled; they have gone away.
Man jāsāk raudāšana un kaukšana par kalniem un raudu dziesma par ganībām tuksnesī; jo tās ir nodedzinātas, ka neviens tur nestaigā, un ganāmā pulka balsi tur nedzird; putni apakš debess un lopi ir aizskrējuši un aizgājuši.
11 “And I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Un Jeruzālemi Es likšu par akmeņu kopu un par mājokli tuksneša zvēriem, un Jūda pilsētas Es darīšu par postažu bez iedzīvotājiem.
12 Who is the man wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched like a desert, so no one can pass through it?
Kas ir tāds gudrs vīrs, kas to saprot? Un uz ko Tā Kunga mute runājusi, ka tas to var pasludināt? Kādēļ zeme iet bojā un izdeg kā tuksnesis, kur neviens nestaigā?
13 And the LORD answered, “It is because they have forsaken My law, which I set before them; they have not walked in it or obeyed My voice.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: tādēļ ka tie atstājuši Manu bauslību, ko Es tiem esmu licis priekšā, un nav klausījuši Manu balsi nedz pēc tās staigājuši,
14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts and gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.”
Bet staigājuši pēc savas sirds stūrgalvības un Baāliem pakaļ, kā viņu tēvi tos mācījuši.
15 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will feed this people wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Redzi, Es šos ļaudis ēdināšu ar vērmelēm un tos dzirdināšu ar žultīm.
16 I will scatter them among the nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send a sword after them until I have finished them off.”
Un Es tos izkaisīšu starp tautām, ko tie nav pazinuši nedz viņu tēvi, un sūtīšu zobenu tiem pakaļ, tiekams Es tos būšu izdeldējis.
17 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Take note, and summon the wailing women; send for the most skillful among them.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: ņemiet to vērā un aicinājiet raudu sievas, lai tās nāk, un sūtat pēc tām gudrām sievām, lai tās atnāk,
18 Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water.
Un steigšus sāk par mums raudāšanu, ka mūsu acis tek asarām un mūsu acu plakstiņi plūst ūdenim.
19 For the sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are! How great is our shame! For we have abandoned the land because our dwellings have been torn down.’”
Jo kaukšanas balss dzirdama no Ciānas: ak! Kā esam postīti, ļoti kaunā likti, jo mēs atstājam zemi, jo tie apgāzuši mūsu mājokļus!
20 Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD. Open your ears to the word of His mouth. Teach your daughters to wail, and one another to lament.
Klausiet tad Tā Kunga vārdu, sievas, un lai jūsu auss uzņem viņa mutes vārdu, un mācat savām meitām raudu dziesmas, un viena otrai lai māca gaudas.
21 For death has climbed in through our windows; it has entered our fortresses to cut off the children from the streets, the young men from the town squares.
Jo nāve kāpj iekšā pa mūsu logiem, tā nāk mūsu jaukos namos, nokaut bērniņus pa ielām un jaunekļus pa gatvēm.
22 Declare that this is what the LORD says: “The corpses of men will fall like dung upon the open field, like newly cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather it.”
Runā, tā saka Tas Kungs: miroņu miesas gulēs kā mēsli uz tīruma un kā kūļi aiz pļāvēja, ko neviens nesaņem.
23 This is what the LORD says: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength, nor the wealthy man in his riches.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: gudrais lai nelielās ar savu gudrību, stiprais lai nelielās ar savu stiprumu, bagātais lai nelielās ar savu bagātību.
24 But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth— for I delight in these things,”
Bet kas grib lielīties, tas lai lielās ar to, ka viņš Mani pazīst un zin, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas dara žēlastību, tiesu un taisnību virs zemes; jo pie tām Man ir labs prāts, saka Tas Kungs.
25 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish all who are circumcised yet uncircumcised:
Redzi, nāk dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es piemeklēšu apgraizītos līdz ar neapgraizītiem,
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and all the inhabitants of the desert who clip the hair of their temples. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”
Ēģiptes zemi un Jūdu un Edomu un Amona bērnus un Moabu un visus, kam apcirptas bārdas, kas tuksnesī dzīvo. Jo visi pagāni ir neapgraizīti, bet Israēla namam ir neapgraizīta sirds.
