Jeremiah 5
1 Go everywhere through the streets of Jerusalem. Look and pay attention! Search all through her city squares to see if you can find even just one person who does what's right, anyone who is faithful, and I'll forgive the city.
Ejat apkārt pa Jeruzālemes ielām un pieraugāt jel un ņemiet vērā un meklējiet pa viņas platām ielām, vai jūs varat kādu atrast, vai ir kāds, kas taisnību dara un patiesību meklē, - tad Es viņai piedošu.
2 They may make promises in my name, but they're not sincere.
Un jebšu tie visi saka: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, tomēr tie zvēr nepatiesi.
3 Lord, aren't you always looking for faithfulness? You beat them, but they didn't care. You just about destroyed them, but they refused to accept your discipline. They were stubborn, hard as rock, and they wouldn't repent.
Ak Kungs! Vai Tavas acis (neraugās) uz ticību? Tu tos siti, bet tie nejūt sāpes, Tu tos apbēdini, bet tie negrib pieņemt pārmācību; tie savus vaigus apcietinājuši vairāk nekā akmeni, tie negrib atgriezties.
4 Then I said to myself, “These people are only the poor—they're just fools who don't know any better. They certainly don't know what the Lord wants, God's right way of living.
Un es sacīju: tiešām, tie ir nabagi, tie ir neprātīgi, tādēļ ka tie nezin Tā Kunga ceļu, sava Dieva tiesu,
5 Let me go to and talk to the ones in charge. They would surely know what the Lord wants, God's right way of living.” But they had all broken off the yoke as well, and ripped off the chains.
Es iešu pie tiem lieliem un runāšu ar tiem, jo tie zin Tā Kunga ceļu, sava Dieva tiesu. Bet tie visi kopā to jūgu salauzuši un tās saites saraustījuši.
6 As a result a lion from the forest will attack them; a wolf from the desert will rip them apart. A leopard will lie in wait for them near their towns, ready to tear to pieces anyone who goes outside. For they keep on rebelling, and turn away from me so often.
Tādēļ tos sitīs lauva no meža, un vilks no tuksneša tos postīs, pardelis(leopards) glūn pret viņu pilsētām, visi, kas no turienes iziet, taps saplosīti. Jo viņu grēki ir vairojušies, viņu pārkāpumi augumā auguši.
7 Why should I forgive you? Your children have abandoned me and believe in gods that are not gods. I gave them everything they need, yet they went and committed adultery, gathering together at prostitutes' houses.
Kādēļ tad lai Es tevi žēloju? Tavi bērni Mani atstāj un zvērē pie tā, kas dievs nav. Kad Es nu tos esmu pieēdinājis, tad tie lauž laulību un iet pa pulkiem mauku namā.
8 They're like virile stallions wanting sex, each of them neighing with lust after his neighbor's wife.
Kā baroti ērzeļi tie ceļas agri, ikviens zviedz pēc sava tuvākā sievas.
9 Shouldn't I punish them for all this? declares the Lord. Shouldn't I retaliate for what this nation has done?
Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt, saka Tas Kungs, jeb vai Manai dvēselei nav jāatriebjās pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
10 Go through her vineyards and damage them, but don't destroy them completely. Rip off her branches, because they don't belong to the Lord.
Kāpjat uz viņas mūriem un samaitājiet tos, bet neizpostiet tos pavisam. Atņemiet viņas stīgas, jo tās nav no Tā Kunga.
11 The people of Israel and Judah have completely betrayed me, declares the Lord.
Jo Israēla nams un Jūda nams palikuši visai neuzticīgi pret Mani, saka Tas Kungs.
12 They have lied about the Lord, saying, “He won't do anything. Nothing bad will happen to us. We won't have war or famine.
Tie aizliedz To Kungu un saka: viņš nav tas, un mums ļaunums neuzies, mēs neredzēsim nedz zobenu nedz badu.
13 The prophets are just like the wind. The Lord doesn't speak through them. What they predict can happen to them!”
Arī pravieši aizies vējā, jo (Dieva) vārds nav pie viņiem; pašiem tiem tas tā notiks.
14 So this is the reply from the Lord God Almighty: Because of what you've said, I will make my words like a fire in your mouth and you people like the wood it burns up.
Tādēļ saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot: Tāpēc ka jūs šo vārdu sakāt, redzi, Es Savu vārdu tavā mutē darīšu par uguni un šos ļaudis par malku, un tas tos aprīs.
15 Look! I am bringing a nation from far away to attack you, people of Israel, declares the Lord. It's a powerful nation that has existed for a long time; it's a nation whose language you don't know, and when they speak you can't understand them.
Redzi, Es atvedīšu pār jums tautu no tālienes, Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs. Tā ir stipra tauta, veca tauta, tauta, kam valodu tu nesaproti, un nesajēdzi, ko tā runā.
16 Their arrows bring death; they are all strong warriors.
Viņas bultu maks ir kā atvērts kaps, tie visi ir varoņi.
17 They will consume your harvest and your food; they will destroy your sons and your daughters; they will eat your flocks and your herds; they will feed on your vines and your fig trees. They will attack and will destroy the fortified towns that you have so much confidence in.
Un tā ēdīs tavu pļāvumu un tavu maizi, tā ēdīs tavus dēlus un tavas meitas, tā ēdīs tavas avis un tavus vēršus, tā ēdīs tavu vīna koku un tavu vīģes koku; tavas stiprās pilsētas, uz ko tu paļaujies, tā izpostīs ar zobenu.
18 But even at that time I won't completely destroy you, declares the Lord.
Tomēr ir tanīs dienās Es jums pavisam negribu galu darīt, saka Tas Kungs.
19 When people ask you Jeremiah, “Why did the Lord our God do all these things to us?” you are to tell them, “In the same way you have abandoned me and served foreign gods here in your country, so you will serve foreigners in a country that isn't your own.”
Un kad jūs sacīsiet: kādēļ Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums visas šās lietas ir darījis? Tad tev uz viņiem būs sacīt: tā kā jūs Mani esat atstājuši un kalpojuši svešiem dieviem savā zemē, tāpat jūs kalposiet svešiem zemē, kas jums nepieder.
20 Announce this to the people of Jacob and Judah:
Sludinājiet to Jēkaba namā, liekat to dzirdēt iekš Jūda un sakāt:
21 Listen to this, you foolish, stupid people, who have eyes but don't see, who have ears but don't hear.
Klausiet jel to, ģeķīgie un neprātīgie ļaudis, kam acis ir, un neredz, kam ausis ir, un nedzird.
22 Aren't you afraid of what I can do? declares the Lord. Don't you think you should tremble in my presence? I am the one who set up the shore as the sea's boundary, an everlasting limit that it can't cross. The waves crash against it, but they can't defeat it. They roar, but they can't cross the barrier.
Vai jūs Mani negribat bīties? Saka Tas Kungs, vai Manā priekšā negribat drebēt? Es smiltis lieku jūrai par ežu, par mūžīgu robežu, ka par to nebūs iet pāri; jebšu viņas viļņi kust, tad tie tomēr nekā neiespēj, jebšu tie gan kauc, tad tie tomēr pār to neiet pāri.
23 But you people have a stubborn and rebellious attitude. You have left me and gone your own way.
Bet šiem ļaudīm ir bezdievīga un stūrgalvīga sirds, tie atkāpjas un aiziet,
24 You didn't think to say, “We should appreciate the Lord our God, who sends the autumn and spring rains at the right time, who makes sure we can have a harvest every year.”
Un nesaka savā sirdī: lai jel bīstamies To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas mums dod lietu agri un vēlu - savā laikā, kas mums pasargā pļaujamā laika noliktās nedēļas.
25 Your wrong actions have taken these benefits from you; your sins have deprived you of my blessings.
Jūsu noziegumi to aizkavē, un jūsu grēki to labumu jums aiztur.
26 For there are wicked men among my people. They're like bird-trappers, secretly watching and waiting to catch people in their snare.
Jo starp Maniem ļaudīm atrodas bezdievīgi; tie glūn, kā mednieki mēdz, tie liek valgus un gūsta cilvēkus.
27 Their homes are full of their ill-gotten gains, like cages full of birds. That's why they've become powerful and rich.
Kā putnu sprosts ir pilns putnu, tā viņu nams ir pilns viltības, tādēļ tie ir palikuši lieli un bagāti.
28 They've grown fat and smooth, and have become experts in evil. They deny justice to orphans, and they don't defend the rights of those in need.
Tie ir tauki, tie ir gludeni, no tiem plūst ļaunums, tie neiztiesā tiesu nedz bāriņa lietas, ka šiem būtu labi, un nabagiem tie tiesu neizdod.
29 Shouldn't I punish them for all this? declares the Lord. Shouldn't I retaliate for what this nation has done?
Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt? saka Tas Kungs. Vai Manai dvēselei nebūs atriebties pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
30 Something horrible, something terrible has happened here in this country.
Briesmīgas un negantas lietas notiek šai zemē.
31 The prophets give false prophecies; the priests rule as they please. My people love it like this, but what will you do when it all falls apart?
Pravieši māca viltīgi, un priesteri valda pēc sava padoma, un Maniem ļaudīm tas tā patīk. Bet ko tad jūs pēcgalā darīsiet?
