Zechariah 7
1 In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
Un notikās ķēniņa Dārija ceturtā gadā, tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju devītā, tas ir Ķislev mēneša, ceturtā dienā,
2 Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, along with their men, to plead before the LORD
Tad Bētele sūtīja Sareceru un ReģemMeleķu ar saviem vīriem, To Kungu pielūgt
3 by asking the priests of the house of the LORD of Hosts, as well as the prophets, “Should I weep and fast in the fifth month, as I have done these many years?”
Un sacīt uz tiem priesteriem Tā Kunga Cebaot namā un uz tiem praviešiem: Vai man jāraud piektā mēnesī un jāgavē, kā es tik daudz gadus esmu darījis?
4 Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
Tad Tā Kunga Cebaot vārds notika uz mani un sacīja:
5 “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for these seventy years, was it really for Me that you fasted?
Runā uz visiem zemes ļaudīm un uz priesteriem un saki: kad jūs gavējāt un žēlojaties piektā un septītā mēnesī šos septiņdesmit gadus, vai jūs tādu(patiesu) gavēšanu esiet Man gavējuši?
6 And when you were eating and drinking, were you not doing so simply for yourselves?
Bet kad jūs ēdat un kad jūs dzerat, vai jūs tie neesat, kas ēd un dzer?
7 Are these not the words that the LORD proclaimed through the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were populous and prosperous, and the Negev and the foothills were inhabited?’”
Vai šie nav tie vārdi, ko Tas Kungs izsauca caur tiem pirmiem praviešiem, kad Jeruzāleme dzīvoja mierā, un viņas pilsētas visapkārt, un dienvidu puse un ieleja bija apdzīvota?
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,
Atkal Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju sacīdams:
9 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Administer true justice. Show loving devotion and compassion to one another.
Tā runā Tas Kungs Cebaot un saka: nesiet patiesīgu tiesu un parādiet ikviens savam brālim žēlastību un apžēlošanu.
10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. And do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.’
Un neapbēdiniet ne atraitni, nedz bāriņu, nedz svešinieku, nedz nabagu, un nedomājiet ļauna cits pret citu savā sirdī.
11 But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they stopped up their ears from hearing.
Bet tie negribēja klausīt un palika stūrgalvīgi un apcietināja savas ausis, nepaklausīdami.
12 They made their hearts like flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of Hosts.
Un savu sirdi tie darīja par dimantu, ka neklausītu bauslību un tos vārdus, ko Tas Kungs Cebaot sūtīja ar Savu Garu caur tiem pirmiem praviešiem.
13 And just as I had called and they would not listen, so when they called I would not listen, says the LORD of Hosts.
Tādēļ tāda liela dusmība nākusi no Tā Kunga Cebaot. Tāpēc noticis, tā kā Viņš bija saucis, un tie nebija klausījuši; tāpat tie arīdzan sauca, bet Es neklausīju, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they had not known, and the land was left desolate behind them so that no one could come or go. Thus they turned the pleasant land into a desolation.”
Tā Es tos esmu izputinājis starp visiem pagāniem, ko tie nepazina, un tā zeme aiz tiem tapa postīta, tā ka neviens tur nestaigāja, un tā viņi to jauko zemi darīja par postažu.
