Jeremias 9
1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? then would I weep for this my people day and night, [even] for the slain of the 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 Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men.
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 And they have bent their tongue like a bow: falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known me, says the Lord.
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 Beware you each of his neighbour, and trust you not in your brethren: for every one will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily.
Sargājaties ikviens no sava drauga, un nepaļaujaties ne uz savu brāli; jo brālis brāli krāpj, un draugs staigā draugu aprunādams.
5 Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learnt to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.
Cits pret citu dzen viltību un nerunā patiesību, tie māca savu mēli melot, tie nopūlējās netaisnību darīdami.
6 [There is] usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, says the Lord.
Tava mājas vieta ir pašas viltības vidū, caur viltību tie liedzās Mani pazīt, saka Tas Kungs.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do [thus] because of the wickedness 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 tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: [one] speaks peaceably to his neighbour, but in himself retains enmity.
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 Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this?
Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt? saka Tas Kungs. Vai Manai dvēselei nebūs atriebties pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
10 Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are gone.
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 remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Juda, so that they shall not be inhabited.
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 wise man, that he may understand this? and he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord [addressed] to him, let him tell you therefore the land has been destroyed, has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes 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 said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not listened to 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 but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship]:
Bet staigājuši pēc savas sirds stūrgalvības un Baāliem pakaļ, kā viņu tēvi tos mācījuši.
15 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall:
Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Redzi, Es šos ļaudis ēdināšu ar vērmelēm un tos dzirdināšu ar žultīm.
16 and I will scatter them amongst the nations, to them whom neither they nor their fathers knew; and I will send a sword upon them, until I have consumed them with it.
Un Es tos izkaisīšu starp tautām, ko tie nav pazinuši nedz viņu tēvi, un sūtīšu zobenu tiem pakaļ, tiekams Es tos būšu izdeldējis.
17 Thus says the Lord, Call you the mourning women, and let them come; and send to the wise women, and let them utter their voice;
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 and let them take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water.
Un steigšus sāk par mums raudāšanu, ka mūsu acis tek asarām un mūsu acu plakstiņi plūst ūdenim.
19 For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Sion, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles!
Jo kaukšanas balss dzirdama no Ciānas: ak! Kā esam postīti, ļoti kaunā likti, jo mēs atstājam zemi, jo tie apgāzuši mūsu mājokļus!
20 Hear now, you women, the word of God, and let your ears receive the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and [every] woman her neighbour a dirge.
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 come up through your windows, it has entered into our land, to destroy the infants without, and the young men from the streets.
Jo nāve kāpj iekšā pa mūsu logiem, tā nāk mūsu jaukos namos, nokaut bērniņus pa ielām un jaunekļus pa gatvēm.
22 And the carcases of the men shall be for an example on the face of the field of your land, like grass after the mower, and there shall be none to gather [them].
Runā, tā saka Tas Kungs: miroņu miesas gulēs kā mēsli uz tīruma un kā kūļi aiz pļāvēja, ko neviens nesaņem.
23 Thus says the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;
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 that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgement, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, says the Lord.
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 come, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision;
Redzi, nāk dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es piemeklēšu apgraizītos līdz ar neapgraizītiem,
26 on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts.
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.
