Jeremiah 12
1 Right wouldest Thou be, O LORD, were I to contend with Thee, yet will I reason with Thee: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? Wherefore are all they secure that deal very treacherously?
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 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit; Thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
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 But Thou, O LORD, knowest me, Thou seest me, and triest my heart toward Thee; pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare 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 land mourn, and the herbs of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said: 'He seeth not our 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 thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? And though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the thickets 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 thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee; believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.'
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 forsaken My house, I have cast off My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.
Es Savu namu esmu atstājis un atmetis Savu mantas tiesu un to, ko Mana dvēsele mīļo, nodevis viņa ienaidniekiem rokā.
8 My heritage is become unto Me as a lion in the forest; she hath uttered her voice against Me; therefore have I hated her.
Mana mantība Man ir palikusi kā lauva mežā; tā savu balsi pret Mani pacēlusi, tādēļ Es to esmu ienīdējis.
9 Is My heritage unto Me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her round about? Come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
Mana mantība Man ir kā raibs putns, kam putni uzkrīt no visām pusēm. Nāciet, sapulcinājaties, visi zvēri laukā, nāciet un ēdiet.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they have trodden My portion under foot, they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Daudz gani maitājuši Manu vīna dārzu, tie ir saminuši Manu tīrumu, Manu jauko tīrumu tie darījuši par tukšu postažu.
11 They have made it a desolation, it mourneth unto Me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
Tas ir postā, izpostīts tas bēdājās Manā priekšā; visa zeme ir postīta, jo neviena nav, kam sirds to ņem vērā.
12 Upon all the high hills in the wilderness spoilers are come; for the sword of the LORD devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land, no flesh hath peace.
Pa visiem tuksneša kalniem postītāji nākuši, jo Tā Kunga zobens rij no viena zemes gala līdz otram, un miera nav nevienai miesai.
13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, they profit not; be ye then ashamed of your increase, because of the fierce anger 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 saith the LORD: As for all Mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit, behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
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 it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, every man to his heritage, and every 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 it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of My people to swear by My name: 'As the LORD liveth,' even as they taught My people to swear by Baal; then shall they 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 hearken, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith the LORD.
Bet ja tie neklausīs, tad Es šo tautu izraušu un to pavisam izdeldēšu, saka Tas Kungs.
