Jeremiah 37
1 And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija, Josijas dēls, valdīja Jekanijas, Jojaķima dēla, vietā; to Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija iecēlis par ķēniņu Jūda zemē.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which He spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Bet ne viņš, ne viņa kalpi, ne tie ļaudis tai zemē neklausīja Tā Kunga vārdiem, ko viņš bija runājis caur pravieti Jeremiju.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying: 'Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.'
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sūtīja Juhalu, Šelemijas dēlu, un priesteri Cefaniju, Mazejas dēlu, pie pravieša Jeremijas un lika sacīt: lūdz jel par mums To Kungu, mūsu Dievu.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
Jo Jeremija gāja vēl iekšā un ārā starp tiem ļaudīm un vēl nebija cietumā ielikts.
5 And Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
Un Faraona karaspēks bija cēlies no Ēģiptes zemes, un tie Kaldeji, kas ap Jeruzālemi bija apmetušies, to baumi par tiem dzirdējuši, no Jeruzālemes bija aizgājuši.
6 Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying:
Tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Jeremiju sacīdams:
7 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto Me to inquire of Me: Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: tā jums būs atsacīt Jūda ķēniņam, kas jūs pie Manis sūtījis, Mani vaicāt: redzi, Faraona karaspēks, kas jums izgājis palīgā, griezīsies atpakaļ uz savu zemi, uz Ēģipti.
8 And the Chaldeans shall return, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
Un Kaldeji nāks atpakaļ un karos pret šo pilsētu un to uzņems un to sadedzinās ar uguni.
9 Thus saith the LORD: Deceive not yourselves, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: nepieviļat savas dvēseles, sacīdami: Kaldeji tiešām no mums aizies projām, - jo tie neaizies.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.'
Jo jebšu jūs kautu visu Kaldeju spēku, kas pret jums karo, un atliktos no tiem (tikai) kādi ievainoti vīri, tad tie celsies ikkatrs savā teltī un sadedzinās šo pilsētu ar uguni.
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Un notikās, kad Kaldeju spēks no Jeruzālemes bija aizgājis priekš Faraona karaspēka,
12 then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
Tad Jeremija izgāja no Jeruzālemes, iet uz Benjamina zemi un tur uzņemt savu daļu to ļaužu vidū.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying: 'Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.'
Un kad viņš nāca Benjamina vārtos, tad tur bija tas sargu virsnieks, Jerija vārdā, Šelemijas dēls, Kananijas dēla dēls, tas sagrāba pravieti Jeremiju un sacīja: tu gribi pāriet pie Kaldejiem.
14 Then said Jeremiah: 'It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans'; but he hearkened not to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Un Jeremija sacīja: tas nav tiesa, es nepāriešu pie Kaldejiem. Bet Jerija viņu neklausīja un sagrāba Jeremiju un to noveda pie tiem lielkungiem.
15 And the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Un tie lielkungi apskaitās par Jeremiju un viņu sita un lika cietumā, rakstītāja Jonatana namā, jo to tie bija darījuši par cietuma namu.
16 When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Tā Jeremija gāja cietumā tais pagrabos, un tur Jeremija sēdēja daudz dienas.
17 then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him; and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said: 'Is there any word from the LORD?' And Jeremiah said: 'There is.' He said also: 'Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.'
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija sūtīja un lika viņu atvest, un ķēniņš viņu vaicāja paslepeni savā namā un sacīja: vai ir kāds vārds no Tā Kunga? Un Jeremija sacīja: ir. Un viņš sacīja: tu Bābeles ķēniņam tapsi dots rokā.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah: 'Wherein have I sinned against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Un Jeremija sacīja uz ķēniņu Cedeķiju: ko es esmu grēkojis pret tevi un pret taviem kalpiem un pret šiem ļaudīm, ka jūs mani esat likuši cietumā?
19 Where now are your prophets that prophesied unto you, saying: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Kur nu ir jūsu pravieši, kas jums sludināja un sacīja: Bābeles ķēniņš nenāks pret jums nedz pret šo zemi?
20 And now hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be presented before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.'
Tad nu, klausi jel, ak kungs un ķēniņ! Lai jel mana lūgšana tavā priekšā ir pieņēmīga, un neved mani atpakaļ rakstītāja Jonatana namā, ka es tur nemirstu.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard, and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija pavēlēja, lai Jeremiju tura cietuma pagalmā, un viņam ikdienas tapa dots viens maizes rieciens no cepēju ielas, tiekams visa maize pilsētā bija apēsta. Tā Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā.
