Jeremiah 38
1 Now it came to the ears of Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, that Jeremiah had said to all the people,
Bet Šefatija, Matana dēls, un Ģedalija, Pašhura dēls, un Juhals, Šelemijas dēls, un Pašhurs, Malhijas dēls, dzirdēja tos vārdus, ko Jeremija uz visiem ļaudīm runāja sacīdams:
2 These are the words of the Lord: Whoever goes on living in this town will come to his death by the sword or through need of food or by disease: but whoever goes out to the Chaldaeans will keep his life out of the power of the attackers and be safe.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: kas šai pilsētā paliek, tas mirs caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri, bet kas iet ārā pie Kaldejiem, tas dzīvos un savu dvēseli paturēs un dzīvos.
3 The Lord has said, This town will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: šī pilsēta dotin taps dota Bābeles ķēniņa karaspēkam rokā, ka tas to uzņem.
4 Then the rulers said to the king, Let this man be put to death, because he is putting fear into the hearts of the men of war who are still in the town, and into the hearts of the people, by saying such things to them: this man is not working for the well-being of the people, but for their damage.
Tad tie lielkungi sacīja uz ķēniņu: liec jel šo vīru nokaut; jo tā viņš rokas dara gurdenas tiem karavīriem, kas vēl atliek šai pilsētā, un rokas visiem ļaudīm, kad viņš tādus vārdus uz tiem runā; jo šis vīrs nemeklē šo ļaužu labumu, bet viņu ļaunumu.
5 Then Zedekiah the king said, See, he is in your hands: for the king was not able to do anything against them.
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sacīja: redzi, viņš ir jūsu rokās, jo ķēniņš pret jums nekā nespēj.
6 So they took Jeremiah and put him into the water-hole of Malchiah, the king's son, in the place of the armed watchmen: and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the hole there was no water, but wet earth: and Jeremiah went down into the wet earth.
Tad tie ņēma Jeremiju, un to iemeta Malhijas, ķēniņa dēla, bedrē, kas bija cietuma pagalmā, un Jeremiju nolaida ar virvēm, bet tai bedrē nebija ūdens, bet dubļi, un Jeremija iegrima dubļos.
7 Now it came to the ears of Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an unsexed servant in the king's house, that they had put Jeremiah into the water-hole; the king at that time being seated in the doorway of Benjamin:
Un Ebedmelehs, Moru vīrs, ķēniņa sulainis, kas bija ķēniņa namā, dzirdēja, ka tie Jeremiju bija metuši bedrē, un ķēniņš sēdēja Benjamina vārtos.
8 And Ebed-melech went out from the king's house and said to the king,
Tad Ebedmelehs izgāja no ķēniņa nama un runāja uz ķēniņu un sacīja:
9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have put into the water-hole; and he will come to his death in the place where he is through need of food: for there is no more bread in the town.
Mans kungs un ķēniņ, šie vīri ir ļaunu darījuši ar visu, ko tie darījuši pravietim Jeremijam, ko tie metuši bedrē, un viņam savā vietā badu jāmirst, tāpēc ka maizes pilsētā vairs nav.
10 Then the king gave orders to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take with you three men from here and get Jeremiah out of the water-hole before death overtakes him.
Tad ķēniņš Ebedmeleham, tam Moru vīram, pavēlēja un sacīja: ņem no šejienes trīsdesmit vīrus līdz un izvelc pravieti Jeremiju no bedres, pirms viņš mirst.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king, to the place where the clothing was kept, and got from there old clothing and bits of old cloth, and let them down by cords into the water-hole where Jeremiah was.
Tad Ebedmelehs ņēma tos vīrus un nāca ķēniņa namā apakš mantu kambara un ņēma no turienes kādas vecas saplīsušas drēbju lupatas un tās nolaida ar virvēm pie Jeremijas bedrē.
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put these bits of old cloth under your arms under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Tad tas Moru vīrs Ebedmelehs sacīja uz Jeremiju: liec jel tās vecās saplīsušās drēbju lupatas apakš savām roku padusēm ap tām virvēm, un Jeremija tā darīja.
13 So pulling Jeremiah up with the cords they got him out of the water-hole: and Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.
Un tie Jeremiju izvilka ar tām virvēm un viņu izcēla no bedres, un Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā.
14 Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and took him into the rulers' doorway in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremiah, I have a question to put to you; keep nothing back from me.
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija nosūtīja un lika atvest pravieti Jeremiju pie sevis trešajā ieejamā vietā pie Tā Kunga nama. Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Jeremiju: es tev ko vaicāšu, neapslēp man nekā.
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I give you the answer to your question, will you not certainly put me to death? and if I make a suggestion to you, you will not give it a hearing.
Tad Jeremija sacīja uz Cedeķiju: kad es tev to sacīšu, tad tu mani kautin nokausi, un kad es tev padomu došu, tad tu tomēr mani neklausīsi.
16 So King Zedekiah gave his oath to Jeremiah secretly, saying, By the living Lord, who gave us our life, I will not put you to death, or give you up to these men who are desiring to take your life.
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija Jeremijam zvērēja paslepeni un sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas mums šo dvēseli radījis, es tevi nenokaušu un tevi nenodošu šiem vīriem rokā, kas tavu dvēseli meklē.
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, These are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel: If you go out to the king of Babylon's captains, then you will have life, and the town will not be burned with fire, and you and your family will be kept from death:
Tad Jeremija sacīja uz Cedeķiju: tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: ja tu iet iziesi pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, tad tava dvēsele dzīvos, un šī pilsēta netaps ar uguni sadedzināta, un tad tu dzīvosi, tu un tavs nams.
18 But if you do not go out to the king of Babylon's captains, then this town will be given into the hands of the Chaldaeans and they will put it on fire, and you will not get away from them.
Bet ja tu neiziesi pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, tad šī pilsēta Kaldejiem taps dota rokā, un tie to sadedzinās ar uguni, un tu no viņu rokas neizspruksi.
19 And King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, I am troubled on account of the Jews who have gone over to the Chaldaeans, for fear that they may give me up to them and they will put me to shame.
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sacīja uz Jeremiju: es bīstos no tiem Jūdiem, kas Kaldejiem piekrituši, ka mani nenodod viņu rokā, un tie mani neapmēda.
20 But Jeremiah said, They will not give you up: be guided now by the word of the Lord as I have given it to you, and it will be well for you, and you will keep your life.
Un Jeremija sacīja: tevi nenodos; klausi jel Tā Kunga balsij, ko es uz tevi runāju, tad tev labi klāsies, un tava dvēsele dzīvos.
21 But if you do not go out, this is what the Lord has made clear to me:
Bet ja tu liedzies iet ārā, tad šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs man parādījis:
22 See, all the rest of the women in the house of the king of Judah will be taken out to the king of Babylon's captains, and these women will say, Your nearest friends have been false to you and have got the better of you: they have made your feet go deep into the wet earth, and they are turned away back from you.
Redzi, visas sievas, kas Jūda ķēniņa namā atliek, taps izvestas pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, un tās sacīs: tavi draugi tevi pievīluši un tevi pārvarējuši, un kad nu tavas kājas iegrimušas dubļos, tad tie griezušies atpakaļ.
23 And they will take all your wives and your children out to the Chaldaeans: and you will not get away out of their hands, but will be taken by the hands of the king of Babylon: and this town will be burned with fire.
Un visas tavas sievas un visi tavi bērni taps izvesti pie Kaldejiem, un tu pats neizspruksi no viņu rokām, bet tu tapsi sagrābts caur Bābeles ķēniņa roku un sadedzināsi šo pilsētu ar uguni.
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man have knowledge of these words, and you will not be put to death.
Tad Cedeķija sacīja uz Jeremiju: lai neviens nezin par šiem vārdiem, ka tu nemirsti.
25 But if it comes to the ears of the rulers that I have been talking with you, and they come and say to you, Give us word now of what you have said to the king and what the king said to you, keeping nothing back and we will not put you to death;
Un kad tie lielkungi dzirdēs, ka es ar tevi esmu runājis, un tie nāk pie tevis un uz tevi saka: saki mums jel, ko tu ar ķēniņu esi runājis, neslēp to mums, tad mēs tevi nenokausim, un ko ķēniņš uz tevi runājis?
26 Then you are to say to them, I made my request to the king, that he would not send me back to my death in Jonathan's house.
Tad tev uz tiem būs sacīt: es pakritu lūgdams ķēniņa priekšā, ka tas mani neliktu vest Jonatana namā, tur mirt.
27 Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah, questioning him: and he gave them an answer in the words the king had given him orders to say. So they said nothing more to him; for the thing was not made public.
Kad nu visi lielkungi pie Jeremijas nāca un viņu vaicāja, tad viņš tiem sacīja pēc visiem šiem vārdiem, ko ķēniņš bija pavēlējis. Un tie viņu atstāja mierā, jo tie to lietu nedabūja dzirdēt.
28 So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen till the day when Jerusalem was taken.
Un Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā līdz tai dienai, kad Jeruzāleme tapa uzņemta.
