< Jeremias 13 >

1 Thus saith the Lord, Go and procure for thyself a linen girdle, and put it about thy loins, and let it not be put in water.
Tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej un pērc sev nātnu(linu) jostu un jozies ar to ap saviem gurniem, bet neliec to ūdenī.
2 So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
Tad es pirku jostu pēc Tā Kunga vārda un apjozos ar to ap saviem gurniem.
3 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani otru reiz un sacīja:
4 Take the girdle that is upon thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
Ņem to jostu, ko tu esi pircis, kas ap taviem gurniem, un celies, ej pie Eifrates un apslēp to tur kādā klints plaisumā.
5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
Un es gāju un to apslēpu pie Eifrates, kā Tas Kungs man bija pavēlējis.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
Tad pēc ilgāka laika Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: celies, ej pie Eifrates un ņem to jostu no turienes, ko Es tev esmu pavēlējis, tur apslēpt.
7 So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I [had] buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.
Tad es gāju pie Eifrates un raku un ņēmu to jostu no tās vietas, kur to biju apslēpis, un redzi, tā josta bija maitāta un nederēja vairs nekam.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord,
Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja:
9 Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;
Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpat Es maitāšu Jūda lepnību un Jeruzālemes lielo lepnību.
10 [even] this great pride [of the men] that will not hearken to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.
Šie niknie ļaudis, kas negrib klausīt Manus vārdus un staigā pēc savas sirds stūrgalvības un dzenās citiem dieviem pakaļ, viņiem kalpot un priekš viņiem klanīties, tie būs kā šī josta, kas nekam vairs neder.
11 For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not hearken to me.
Jo kā josta pieglaužas pie vīra gurniem, tā Es visu Israēla namu un visu Jūda namu esmu sev pieglaudījis, saka Tas Kungs, ka tie Man būtu par ļaudīm un par vārdu un par slavu un par godu, bet tie nav klausījuši.
12 And thou shalt say to this people, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and it shall come to pass, if they shall say to thee, Shall we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? that thou shalt say to them,
Tāpēc saki uz tiem šo vārdu: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: visi trauki top ar vīnu pildīti. Kad tie uz tevi sacīs: Vai tad mēs to nezinām, ka visi trauki ar vīnu top pildīti?
13 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] fill the inhabitants of this land, and their kings the sons of David that sit upon their throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and Juda and all the dwellers in Jerusalem, with strong drink.
Tad tev uz viņiem būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, visus šās zemes iedzīvotājus, un ķēniņus, kas uz Dāvida goda krēsla sēž, un priesterus un praviešus un visus Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus Es pildīšu ar reibumu.
14 And I will scatter them a man and his brother, and their fathers and their sons together: I will not have compassion, saith the Lord, and I will not spare, neither will I pity [to save them] from destruction.
Un Es tos sadauzīšu vienu pret otru, tēvus un bērnus, visus kopā, saka Tas Kungs, Es nesaudzēšu un netaupīšu, nedz apžēlošos, ka Es tos neizdeldētu.
15 Hear ye, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken.
Klausiet un ņemiet vērā, nelepojaties, jo Tas Kungs to runājis.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and ye shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.
Dodiet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, godu, pirms tumsa metās, un pirms jūsu kājas piedauzās pie krēslības kalniem, un jūs uz gaismu gaidāt, bet Viņš to darīs par nāves ēnu un pārvērtīs par tumsību.
17 But if ye will not hearken, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised.
Bet kad jūs to neklausīsiet, tad mana dvēsele raudās slepeni tādas lepnības dēļ. Un manas acis izlies gaužas asaras un asarām plūdīs, tādēļ ka Tā Kunga ganāmais pulks top aizvests cietumā.
18 Say ye to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head.
Saki uz ķēniņu un uz ķēniņieni: zemojaties, sēžaties zemē, jo viss jūsu galvas glītums, jūsu godības kronis, ir nokritis.
19 The cities toward the south were shut, and there was none to open [them]: Juda is removed [into captivity, ]they have suffered a complete removal.
Pilsētas pret dienvidiem ir aizslēgtas, un nav, kas tās atver, visa Jūda cilts ir aizvesta, tā ir pavisam aizvesta.
20 Lift up thine eyes, O Jerusalem, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, the sheep of thy glory?
Paceļat savas acis un raugāt, kas nāk no ziemeļiem. Kur ir tas ganāmais pulks, kas tev bija dots, tavas godības avis?
21 What wilt thou say when they shall visit thee, for thou didst teach them lessons for rule against thyself; shall not pangs seize thee as a woman in travail?
Ko tu sacīsi, kad Viņš tev cels par galvu tos, ko tu sev pielabinājis par draugiem? Vai tad tevi sāpes nesagrābs, kā sievu, kas dzemdē?
22 And if thou shouldest say in thine heart, Wherefore have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of thine iniquity have thy skirts been discovered, that thine heels might be exposed.
Kad tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: Kāpēc man tas notiek? Tavu lielo noziegumu dēļ tavu drēbju vīles ir atsegtas un tavas kājas piesmietas.
23 If the Ethiopian shall change his skin, or the leopardess her spots, then shall ye be able to do good, having learnt evil.
Vai Moru vīrs var savu ādu pārvērst jeb pardelis(leopards) savus raibumus? Tad arī jūs varētu labu darīt, kad esat ieraduši ļaunu darīt.
24 So I scattered them as sticks carried by the wind into the wilderness.
Tādēļ Es tos gribu izkaisīt kā pelavas, kas izput no tuksneša vēja.
25 Thus is thy lot, and the reward of your disobedience to me, saith the Lord; as thou didst forget me, and trust in lies,
Šī būs tava daļa, tā tiesa, ko Es tev esmu nospriedis, saka Tas Kungs, tāpēc ka tu mani esi aizmirsusi un paļāvusies uz meliem.
26 I also will expose thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall be seen;
Tad arī Es tavas drēbju vīles atsegšu pār tavu vaigu, ka tavs kauns top redzams.
27 thine adultery also, and thy neighing, and the looseness of thy fornication: on the hills and in the fields I have seen thine abominations. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, for thou hast not been purified so as to follow me; how long yet [shall it be]?
Jo Es esmu redzējis tavu laulības pārkāpšanu, tavu nešķīsto iekārošanu, tavu neganto maukošanu uz elku kalniem, laukā tavu negantību. Ak vai, tev, Jeruzāleme! Vai tad tu negribi palikt šķīsta, cik ilgi tas vēl būs?
