< Jeremiah 22 >

1 Thus says the Lord: “Descend to the house of the king of Judah, and there you shall speak this word.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: noej Jūda ķēniņa namā un runā tur šo vārdu
2 And you shall say: Listen to the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, who sits upon the throne of David: you and your servants, and your people, who enter through these gates.
Un saki: klausi Tā Kunga vārdu, Jūda ķēniņ, kas sēdi Dāvida goda krēslā, tu un tavi kalpi un tavi ļaudis, visi, kas ieejat pa šiem vārtiem.
3 Thus says the Lord: Exercise judgment and justice, and free anyone who is oppressed by violence from the hand of a false accuser. And do not be willing to sadden the new arrival, or the orphan, or the widow, nor should you burden them unfairly. And you shall not shed innocent blood in this place.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: nesiet tiesu un taisnību un izglābiet aplaupīto no spaidītāja rokas, un neplēšat svešinieku, bāriņu, atraitni, nedariet varas darbu un neizlejat šai vietā nenoziedzīgas asinis.
4 For if you will indeed accomplish this word, then there will enter through the gates of this house kings from the stock of David, sitting on his throne, and riding on chariots and on horses: they, and their servants, and their people.
Jo kad jūs tā darīsiet, tad pa šā nama vārtiem ieies ķēniņi, kas sēdēs uz Dāvida goda krēsla, un brauks ar ratiem un zirgiem, pats un viņa kalpi un viņa ļaudis.
5 But if you will not listen to these words, I swear by myself, says the Lord, that this house will be in desolation.
Bet ja jūs šos vārdus neklausīsiet, tad Es pie Sevis esmu zvērējis, saka Tas Kungs, ka šim namam būs palikt par posta vietu.
6 For thus says the Lord about the house of the king of Judah: You are to me like Gilead, the head of Lebanon. Certainly, I will make you desolate, with uninhabitable cities.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs par Jūda ķēniņa namu: tu Man esi kā Gileāda, kā Lībanus galva, bet tiešām, Es tevi darīšu par tuksnesi un tās pilsētas bez iedzīvotājiem.
7 And I will sanctify over you the destroying man and his weapons. And they will cut down your select cedars and throw them violently into the fire.
Jo Es pret tevi iecelšu postītājus, ikvienu ar saviem ieročiem; tie nocirtīs tavus labākos ciedru kokus un tos metīs ugunī.
8 And many nations will pass through this city. And each one will say to his neighbor: ‘Why has the Lord acted in this way toward this great city?’
Tad daudz pagānu šai pilsētai ies garām un sacīs cits uz citu: kādēļ Tas Kungs šai lielai pilsētai tā darījis?
9 And they will answer: ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord their God, and they adored strange gods and served them.’
Un tie sacīs: tādēļ ka tie atstājuši Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, derību un zemē metušies priekš citiem dieviem un tiem kalpojuši.
10 You should not choose to weep for the dead, nor should you mourn over them with tears. Lament for him who is departing, for he will return no more, nor will he see his native land again.
Neraudiet par nomirušo un nežēlojiet viņu; raudiet raudādami par to, kas aiziet, jo tas neatgriezīsies atpakaļ, redzēt savas dzimtenes zemi.
11 For thus says the Lord to Shallum, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, who reigned in place of his father, who has departed from this place: He will not return here again.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs par Šallumu, Josijas dēlu, Jūda ķēniņu, kas valda sava tēva Josijas vietā, kas no šās vietas aizgājis: viņš vairs negriezīsies atpakaļ,
12 Instead, he will die in the place to which I have transferred him, and he will not see this land anymore.
Bet tai vietā, kurp tie viņu aizveduši, viņš mirs un šo zemi viņš vairs neredzēs.
13 Woe to one who builds his house with injustice and his upper rooms without judgment, who oppresses his friend without cause and does not pay him his wages.
Vai tam, kas savu namu uztaisa ar netaisnību un savas istabas ar viltu, kas savam tuvākam liek velti strādāt, un tam nedod savu algu,
14 And he says: ‘I will build a broad house for myself, with spacious upper rooms.’ He makes windows for himself, and he builds the roof out of cedar, and he paints it with red ocher.
Kas domā: es sev uztaisīšu augstu namu un plašas istabas, un liek sev logus izcirst un ar ciedru kokiem apsegt un ar sarkanumu apsvaidīt.
15 Will you reign because you compare yourself to the cedar? Did your father not eat and drink, and act with judgment and justice, so that it would be well with him?
Vai tu domā valdīt, tādēļ ka tu ar ciedru kokiem greznojies? Vai tavs tēvs neēda un nedzēra un darīja tiesu un taisnību? Tad viņam labi klājās.
16 He judged the case of the poor and the indigent for their good. Was this not because he knew me, says the Lord?
Viņš izdeva tiesu nabagam un bēdīgam, tad viņam labi klājās. Vai tas nav mani atzīt? saka Tas Kungs.
17 Yet truly, your eyes and your heart are toward avarice and the shedding of innocent blood, and toward false accusations and the pursuit of evil deeds.
Bet tavas acis un tava sirds uz citu neskatās kā vien mantu krāt un nenoziedzīgas asinis izliet, apspiest un darīt varas darbu.
18 Because of this, thus says the Lord toward Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will not mourn for him by saying, ‘Alas,’ to a brother, or, ‘Alas,’ to a sister. They will not make a noise for him and say, ‘Alas,’ to a master, or, ‘Alas,’ to a nobleman.
Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs par Jojaķimu, Josijas, Jūda ķēniņa dēlu: par to nevaidēs: vai, mans brāli! Vai, mana māsa! par to nevaidēs: vai, kungs! Vai, cienīgais.
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, having rotted and been thrown out of the gates of Jerusalem.
Bet kā ēzeli aprok, tā viņu apraks, un viņš taps rauts un izmests tālu no Jeruzālemes vārtiem.
20 Ascend to Lebanon and cry out! And utter your voice in Bashan, and cry out to those passing by. For all your lovers have been crushed.
Kāp uz Lībanu un sauc un pacel savu balsi Basanā un brēc no Abarima, jo visi tavi mīluļi ir satriekti.
21 I spoke to you in your abundance, and you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, for you have not listened to my voice.
Es runāju uz tevi, kad tev vēl labi klājās, bet tu sacīji: es neklausīšu. Tas ir tavs ceļš no pašas jaunības, ka tu Manu balsi neesi klausījis
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. And then you will be confounded, and you will be ashamed of all your wickedness.
Vējš aizraus visus tavus ganus, un tavi mīluļi ies cietumā; tad tu tiešām tapsi kaunā un par apsmieklu visas savas blēdības dēļ.
23 You who sit in Lebanon, and who nest in the cedars, in what way did you mourn when suffering came to you, like the suffering of a woman giving birth?
Tu uz Lībanus dzīvo un ciedru kokos taisi ligzdas, kā tev klāsies, kad tev sāpes uzies, mokas, kā dzemdētājai?
24 As I live, says the Lord, if Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a ring on my right hand, I would remove him from there.
Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs: kaut arī Kanija, Jojaķima dēls, Jūda ķēniņš, būtu pie Manas labās rokas spiežamais gredzens, tomēr Es tevi no tejienes aizraušu.
25 And I will deliver you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose face you dread, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Un Es tevi nodošu rokā tiem, kas tavu dvēseli meklē, un tiem rokā, priekš kā vaiga tu bīsties, proti Nebukadnecera, Bābeles ķēniņa, un Kaldeju rokā.
26 And I will send you, and your mother who conceived you, into a foreign land, in which you were not born, and there you shall die.
Un Es izmetīšu tevi un tavu māti, kas tevi dzemdējusi, uz citu zemi, kur jūs neesiet dzimuši, un tur jums būs jāmirst.
27 And to the land about which they lift up their mind, thinking to return there, they shall not return.
Un tai zemē, kurp viņu dvēselei gribēsies atpakaļ griezties, turp tie neatgriezīsies.
28 Is this man, Jeconiah, a broken earthenware vessel? Is he a vessel which is entirely unpleasing? Why have they been cast out, he and his offspring, cast out even into a land that they have not known?
Vai šis vīrs Kanija ir viens nieka sadauzāms pods, jeb vai viņš trauks, kas nevienam nepatīk? Kāpēc viņš un viņa dzimums atmesti uz to zemi, ko tie nepazīst?
29 O earth, O earth, O earth! Listen to the word of the Lord!
Ak zeme, zeme, zeme! Klausi Tā Kunga vārdu!
30 Thus says the Lord: Write: this man is barren; he is a man who will not prosper in his days. For there will not be a man from among his offspring who will sit upon the throne of David, or have authority in Judah, anymore.”
Tā saka Tas Kungs: pieraksti šo vīru par neauglīgu, par vīru, kam savu mūžu labi neizdosies. Jo nevienam no viņa dzimuma labi neklāsies, kas varētu sēdēt uz Dāvida goda krēsla un turpmāk valdīt pār Jūdu.
