Nehemiah 9
1 Then, on the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the sons of Israel came together in fasting and in sackcloth, and with soil upon them.
Un tā paša mēneša divdesmit ceturtā dienā Israēla bērni sapulcējās, gavēdami un maisos un ar zemi uz galvām.
2 And the offspring of the sons of Israel were separated from all the sons of foreigners. And they stood up, and they confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
Un Israēla dzimums šķīrās no visiem svešiniekiem, un tie stāvēja un sūdzēja savus grēkus un savu tēvu noziegumus.
3 And they arose to stand. And they read in the volume of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed. And they adored the Lord their God.
Un tie cēlās no savas vietas un vienu cēlienu tie lasīja Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, bauslības grāmatā, un vienu cēlienu tie sūdzēja (savus grēkus) un pielūdza To Kungu, savu Dievu.
4 Then, upon the step of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, and Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani rose up. And they cried out in a great voice to the Lord their God.
Un augstā levitu vietā stāvēja: Ješuūs un Banus, Kadmiēls, Šebanija, Bunus, Šerebija, Banus un Kenanus, un sauca ar stipru balsi uz To Kungu, savu Dievu.
5 And the Levites, Jeshua and Kadmiel, Bunni, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said: “Rise up. Bless the Lord your God, from eternity even to eternity! And blessed be the exalted name of your glory, with all blessing and praise.
Un tad sacīja tie leviti Ješuūs un Kadmiēls, Banus, Azabenija, Šerebija, Hodija, Šebanija, Petahja: ceļaties, teiciet To Kungu, savu Dievu, mūžīgi mūžam. Un lai slavēts top Tavas godības vārds, kas ir augstāks pār visu slavu un teikšanu.
6 You yourself alone, O Lord, made heaven, and the heaven of the heavens, and all their host, the earth and all things that are in it, the seas and all things that are in them. And you gave life to all these things. And the host of heaven adores you.
Tu esi tas vienīgais Kungs, Tu esi darījis debesis un debesu debesis un visu viņu spēku, zemi un visu, kas zemes virsū, jūru un visu, kas iekš tās, un Tu dari šo visu dzīvu un debesu spēks klanās Tavā priekšā.
7 You yourself, O Lord God, are the One who chose Abram. And you led him away from the fire of the Chaldeans, and you gave him the name Abraham.
Tu esi Tas Kungs un Dievs, kas Ābramu izredzējis un viņu izvedis no Ura Kaldejā un viņam devis vārdu Ābrahāmu.
8 And you found his heart to be faithful before you. And you formed a covenant with him, so that you might give to him the land of the Canaanite, of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Perizzite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Girgashite, so that you might give it to his offspring. And you have fulfilled your words, for you are just.
Un Tu viņa sirdi esi atradis uzticīgu Sava vaiga priekšā, un ar viņu esi cēlis derību, viņam dot Kanaāniešu, Hetiešu, Amoriešu un Fereziešu un Jebusiešu un Ģirgoziešu zemi, to dot viņa dzimumam; un Tu Savu vārdu stipri esi turējis, tāpēc ka Tu esi taisns.
9 And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt. And you heard their outcry beside the Red Sea.
Un Tu esi redzējis mūsu tēvu bēdas Ēģiptes zemē un viņu brēkšanu klausījis pie Niedru jūras,
10 And you gave signs and portents to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to the people of his land. For you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. And you made a name for yourself, just as it is in this day.
Un esi zīmes un brīnumus darījis pie Faraona un pie visiem viņa kalpiem un pie visiem viņa zemes ļaudīm. Jo Tu zināji, ka tie pret tiem bijuši pārgalvīgi, un Tu Sev esi darījis slavu, tā kā šodien.
11 And you divided the sea before them, and they crossed through the midst of the sea on dry land. But their pursuers you cast into the depths, like a stone into great waters.
Un jūru Tu esi dalījis viņu priekšā, ka tie pa jūras vidu ir gājuši sausumā; un kas viņiem pakaļ dzinās, tos Tu esi iemetis dziļumos, tā kā akmeni stipros ūdeņos.
12 And in the pillar of cloud, you were their leader by day, and in the pillar of fire, by night, so that they might see the way along which they might advance.
Un dienā Tu tos esi vadījis ar padebeša stabu un naktī ar uguns stabu, viņiem gaišu darīdams ceļu, kur tiem bija jāiet.
13 You also descended to mount Sinai, and you spoke with them from heaven. And you gave them upright judgments, and the law of truth, and ceremonies, and good precepts.
Un Tu esi nolaidies uz Sinaī kalnu un no debesīm ar tiem runājis un tiem devis taisnas tiesas, īstenu bauslību, labus likumus un baušļus.
14 You revealed to them your sanctified Sabbath, and you instructed them in commandments, and ceremonies, and the law, by the hand of Moses, your servant.
Un savu svēto dusas dienu Tu tiem esi darījis zināmu, un baušļus un iestādījumus un bauslību tiem esi pavēlējis caur Mozu, Savu kalpu.
15 You also gave them bread from heaven in their hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their thirst. And you said to them that they should enter and possess the land, over which you lifted up your hand so that you might give it to them.
Un maizi Tu tiem esi devis no debesīm, kad tie bija izsalkuši, un ūdeni tiem izvedis no klints, kad tie bija izslāpuši, un esi uz tiem sacījis, lai ieiet un iemanto to zemi, pār ko Tu Savu roku pacēli, viņiem to dot.
16 Yet truly, they and our fathers acted arrogantly, and they hardened their necks, and they did not listen to your commandments.
Bet šie, mūsu tēvi, turējušies pārgalvīgi un viņu kakls palika stīvs, un tie nav klausījuši Taviem baušļiem,
17 And they were not willing to hear, and they did not remember, your miracles which you had accomplished for them. And they hardened their necks, and they offered their head, so that they would return to their servitude, as if in contention. But you, a forgiving God, lenient and merciful, longsuffering and full of compassion, did not abandon them.
Un ir liegušies klausīt un nav pieminējuši Tavus brīnumus, ko Tu tiem esi darījis, bet tie palikuši stūrgalvīgi un cēluši virsnieku, iet atpakaļ uz savu kalpošanu, dumpinieki būdami. Bet Tu Dievs žēlotājs, žēlīgs un sirdsžēlīgs, lēnprātīgs un no lielas žēlastības, Tu tos neesi atstājis.
18 Indeed, even when they had made for themselves a molten calf, and they had said, ‘This is your God, who led you away from Egypt!’ and had committed great blasphemies,
Jebšu tie arī taisīja lietu teļu un sacīja: šis ir tavs dievs, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, - un tevi gauži kaitināja,
19 even so, in the multitude of your mercies, you did not send them away in the desert. The pillar of cloud did not withdraw from them by day, so that it might lead them on the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, so that it might show them the way along which they might advance.
Tomēr pēc Savas lielās sirdsžēlastības Tu tos neesi atstājis tuksnesī, tas padebeša stabs neatstājās no tiem dienā, tos vezdams pa ceļu, nedz tas uguns stabs naktī, tiem spīdēdams uz ceļa, kur tie gāja.
20 And you gave them your good Spirit, so that he might teach them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and you gave them water in their thirst.
Un Tu esi devis Savu labo Garu, tos pamācīt, un to mannu Tu neesi atrāvis no viņu mutes, un tiem ūdeni esi devis, kad tie bija izslāpuši.
21 For forty years, you fed them in the desert, and nothing was lacking to them; their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn down.
Tā Tu tos tuksnesī esi uzturējis četrdesmit gadus, tiem nekāds trūkums nav bijis, viņu drēbes nav palikušas vecas un viņu kājas nav uztūkušas.
22 And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you distributed to them by lot. And they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, the king of Bashan.
Un Tu tiem esi devis ķēniņu valstis un ļaudis, un tos esi nošķīris šurp un turp. Tā tie ir iemantojuši Sihona zemi un Hešbonas ķēniņa zemi un Basanas ķēniņa Oga zemi.
23 And you multiplied their sons like the stars of heaven. And you led them into the land, about which you had said to their fathers that they would enter and possess it.
Un viņu bērnus Tu esi vairojis kā debess zvaigznes un tos ievedis tai zemē, par ko Tu viņu tēviem esi sacījis, ka tie ieies, to iemantot.
24 And the sons arrived and possessed the land. And you humbled the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, before them. And you delivered them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, so that they might do with them just as it was pleasing to them.
Tā tie bērni tur ir iegājuši un to zemi iemantojuši, un Tu esi pazemojis tās zemes iedzīvotājus, tos Kanaāniešus, viņu priekšā un nodevis viņu rokās viņu ķēniņus un tās zemes ļaudis, lai ar tiem dara pēc sava prāta.
25 And so they seized fortified cities and fat soil. And they possessed houses filled with all kinds of goods, cisterns made by others, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. And they ate and were satisfied. And they were fattened, and they abounded with delights from your great goodness.
Un tie ir uzņēmuši stipras pilsētas un treknu zemi un iemantojuši namus, visāda labuma pilnus, izcirstas akas, vīna dārzus un eļļas dārzus un daudz augļu kokus, un tie ir ēduši un paēduši un tauki palikuši, un ir priecājušies caur Tavu lielo labdarīšanu.
26 But they provoked you to wrath, and they withdrew from you, and they cast your law behind their backs. And they killed your prophets, who contended with them so that they might return to you. And they committed great blasphemies.
Bet tie ir palikuši pārgalvīgi un Tev turējušies pretī un atmetuši Tavu bauslību un nokāvuši Tavus praviešus, kas pret tiem liecināja, lai pie Tevis atgriežas, un tie ir padarījuši lielas apkaitināšanas.
27 And so you gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation, they cried out to you, and from heaven you heard them. And in accord with your great compassion, you gave to them saviors, who might save them from the hand of their enemies.
Tāpēc Tu tos esi devis viņu naidnieku rokā, kas tos spaidījuši. Bet tiem savu spaidu laikā uz Tevi brēcot, Tu esi dzirdējis no debesīm un pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas Tu tiem esi devis pestītājus, kas tos izpestīja no viņu naidnieku rokas.
28 But after they had rested, they turned back, so that they did evil in your sight. And you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, and they possessed them. And they converted, and they cried out to you. And from heaven you heeded them, and you freed them many times, by your mercies.
Bet kad tiem bija miers, tad tie atkal darīja ļaunu Tava vaiga priekšā; tā Tu tos atstāji viņu ienaidnieku rokā, un tie pār viņiem valdīja. Kad tie nu atgriezās un uz Tevi brēca, tad Tu tos esi klausījis no debesīm un tos dažu reizi izpestījis pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas.
29 And you contended with them, so that they might return to your law. Yet truly, they acted in arrogance, and they did not listen to your commandments, and they sinned against your judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they withdrew from offering their shoulder, and they hardened their neck; neither would they listen.
Un Tu tiem esi devis liecību, lai tie atgriežas pie Tavas bauslības. Bet tie bija pārgalvīgi un neklausīja Taviem baušļiem un grēkoja pret Tavām tiesām, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur to dzīvo, un tie Tev griezuši muguru un savu kaklu darījuši stīvu un nav klausījuši.
30 And you continued to forbear them for many years. And you contended with them by your Spirit, through the hand of your prophets. And they did not listen, and so you delivered them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
Un Tu uz tiem esi gaidījis daudz gadus un tiem liecinājis caur Savu Garu, caur Saviem praviešiem: bet tie neatgrieza savas ausis. Tāpēc Tu tos esi nodevis pasaules tautu rokā.
31 Yet in your very many mercies, you did not cause them to be consumed, nor did you abandon them. For you are a compassionate and lenient God.
Tomēr pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas Tu tos neesi pavisam iznīcinājis nedz tos atstājis; jo Tu esi žēlīgs un sirdsžēlīgs Dievs.
32 Now therefore, our great God, strong and terrible, who keeps covenant and mercy, may you not avert your face from all the hardship that has found us, we and our kings, and our leaders, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people, from the days of king Assur, even to this day.
Un nu mūsu Dievs, Tu stiprais, lielais, varenais un bijājamais Dievs, kas tur derību un sirds žēlastību, - lai Tev nešķiet maza visa šī grūtība, kas mums uzgājusi mūsu ķēniņiem, mūsu lielkungiem un mūsu priesteriem un mūsu praviešiem un mūsu tēviem un visiem Taviem ļaudīm, no Asīrijas ķēniņa laika līdz šai dienai.
33 For you are just, concerning all things that have overwhelmed us. For you have done truth, but we have acted impiously.
Tomēr Tu esi taisns iekš visa, kas mums uznācis, jo Tu esi uzticīgi darījis; bet mēs esam darījuši bezdievīgi.
34 Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our fathers have not done your law, and they have not been attentive to your commandments and your testimonies, to which you have testified among them.
Un mūsu ķēniņi, mūsu lielkungi, mūsu priesteri un mūsu tēvi nav turējuši Tavu bauslību un nav vērā ņēmuši Tavas pavēles un Tavas liecības, ko Tu tiem liecinājis.
35 And they have not served you, in their kingdoms and with your many good things, which you gave to them, and in the very wide and fat land, which you delivered into their sight, nor did they return from their most wicked pursuits.
Jo tie Tev nav kalpojuši savā valstī un iekš Tava lielā labuma, ko Tu tiem biji devis, un tai plašā treknā zemē, ko Tu priekš viņiem biji nolicis, un nav atgriezušies no saviem ļauniem darbiem.
36 Behold, we ourselves this day are servants. And the land, which you gave to our fathers so that they might eat its bread and have its good things, we ourselves are servants within it.
Redzi, mēs šodien esam kalpi; arī tai zemē, ko Tu mūsu tēviem esi devis, viņas augļus un viņas labumu ēst, - redzi, iekš tās mēs esam kalpi.
37 And its fruits are multiplied for the kings, whom you have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies, and over our cattle, according to their will. And we are in great tribulation.
Un viņas augļi vairojās priekš tiem ķēniņiem, ko Tu pār mums esi iecēlis mūsu grēku dēļ, un tie valda pār mūsu miesām un pār mūsu lopiem pēc savas patikšanas. Tā mēs esam lielās bēdās.
38 Therefore, concerning all of these things, we ourselves are forming and writing a covenant, and our leaders, our Levites, and our priests are signing it.”
Un pēc visa tā mēs cēlām taisnu derību un to uzrakstījām; un mūsu lielkungi, mūsu leviti un mūsu priesteri to apzieģelēja.
