Jeremiah 12
1 Certainly, O Lord, you are just. But if I may contend with you, while still speaking what is just to you: Why does the way of the impious prosper? Why is it well with all those who transgress and act unfairly?
Tu, ak Kungs, palieci taisns, kad es ar Tevi gribētu tiesāties; tomēr par tiesu ar Tevi gribu runāt. Kāpēc bezdievīgiem ceļš labi izdodas, un visiem, kas dara viltu, labi klājās?
2 You planted them, and they took root. They are prospering and bearing fruit. You are near to their mouths, but far from their hearts.
Tu tos esi dēstījis, un tie ir iesakņojušies un aug un nes augļus; Tu gan esi tuvu viņu mutei, bet tālu no viņu sirdīm.
3 And you, O Lord, have known me well. You have seen me, and you have tested my heart with you. Gather them together like a flock for the sacrifice and sanctify them for the day of slaughter.
Bet mani, ak Kungs, Tu pazīsti, mani Tu redzi un pārbaudi manu sirdi, kāda tā ir tavā priekšā. Aizrauj viņus kā avis uz kaušanu un nolieci tos uz nokaušanas dienu!
4 How long shall the earth mourn? And how long shall the plants of every field whither because of the wickedness of the inhabitants within them? It has consumed the wild animals and the birds. For they said: “He will not see our very end.”
Cik ilgi tad zeme lai bēdājās un zāle visur laukā lai savīst? Iedzīvotāju blēdības dēļ lopi un putni iet bojā. Jo tie saka: viņš neredz, kā mums pēcgalā klāsies!
5 “If you have struggled to run on foot, how will you be able to compete with horses? And if you have been secure in a land of peace, what will you do about the arrogance of the Jordan?
Kad tu skrēji ar kājniekiem un tie tevi nokausēja, kā tad tu varētu skrieties ar zirgiem? Un ja tu jūties drošs miera zemē, ko tad tu darīsi Jardānes varenos biezumos?
6 For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even these have fought against you. And they have cried out after you with loud voice: ‘You should not believe them, when they speak good things to you.’”
Jo, pat tavi brāļi un tavs tēva nams ir neuzticīgi pret tevi un sauc pilnā balsī tev pakaļ. Neuzticies tiem, kad tie laipnīgi ar tevi runā.
7 “I have abandoned my house. I have disowned my inheritance. I have given my beloved soul into the hand of its enemies.
Es Savu namu esmu atstājis un atmetis Savu mantas tiesu un to, ko Mana dvēsele mīļo, nodevis viņa ienaidniekiem rokā.
8 My inheritance has become for me like a lion in the forest. It has uttered a voice against me, therefore, I have hated it.
Mana mantība Man ir palikusi kā lauva mežā; tā savu balsi pret Mani pacēlusi, tādēļ Es to esmu ienīdējis.
9 Is my inheritance to me like a discolored bird? Is it like a bird that has entirely changed color? Approach and assemble, all beasts of the earth! Hurry, so that you may devour!
Mana mantība Man ir kā raibs putns, kam putni uzkrīt no visām pusēm. Nāciet, sapulcinājaties, visi zvēri laukā, nāciet un ēdiet.
10 Many pastors have demolished my vineyard. They have trampled my portion. They have made my desirable portion into a desert of solitude.
Daudz gani maitājuši Manu vīna dārzu, tie ir saminuši Manu tīrumu, Manu jauko tīrumu tie darījuši par tukšu postažu.
11 They have squandered it, and it has grieved concerning me. The entire earth has become utterly desolate, because there is no one who understands with the heart.”
Tas ir postā, izpostīts tas bēdājās Manā priekšā; visa zeme ir postīta, jo neviena nav, kam sirds to ņem vērā.
12 The devastators have arrived, over all the ways of the wilderness. For the sword of the Lord will devour, from one end of the earth even to its furthest limits. There is no peace for all that is flesh.
Pa visiem tuksneša kalniem postītāji nākuši, jo Tā Kunga zobens rij no viena zemes gala līdz otram, un miera nav nevienai miesai.
13 They sowed wheat, but they reaped thorns. They received an inheritance, but it will not benefit them. You will be confounded by your own fruits, because of the wrath of the fury of the Lord.
Tie sēj kviešus, bet ērkšķus tie pļauj, tie gan grūti strādā, bet nepelna nekā. Tā tad topat kaunā ar saviem augļiem caur Tā Kunga karsto bardzību.
14 Thus says the Lord against all my wicked neighbors, who touch the inheritance that I have distributed to my people Israel: “Behold, I will root them out of their own land, and I will root the house of Judah out of their midst.
Tā saka Tas Kungs par visiem maniem nikniem kaimiņiem, kas aizskar to mantību, ko Es esmu devis mantot Saviem Israēla ļaudīm: Es tos izraušu no viņu zemes un Jūda namu Es izraušu no viņu vidus.
15 And when I have rooted them out, I will turn back and take pity on them. And I will lead them back, one man to his inheritance, and another man to his land.
Un notiks, kad Es tos būšu izrāvis, tad Es atkal par tiem apžēlošos, Es tos vedīšu atpakaļ, ikkatru savā daļā un ikkatru savā zemē.
16 And this shall be: if they are taught and they learn the ways of my people, so that they swear by my name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ just as they had taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be built up in the midst of my people.
Un ja tie Manu ļaužu ceļu tikuši(rūpīgi) mācīsies un zvērēs pie Mana Vārda: „Tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo!“Tā kā tie Manus ļaudis ir mācījuši pie Baāla zvērēt, - tad tie taps uzņemti Manu ļaužu vidū.
17 But if they will not listen, I will uproot that nation unto utter destruction and perdition, says the Lord.”
Bet ja tie neklausīs, tad Es šo tautu izraušu un to pavisam izdeldēšu, saka Tas Kungs.
