Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke unto all the people, saying:
Bet Šefatija, Matana dēls, un Ģedalija, Pašhura dēls, un Juhals, Šelemijas dēls, un Pašhurs, Malhijas dēls, dzirdēja tos vārdus, ko Jeremija uz visiem ļaudīm runāja sacīdams:
2 'Thus saith the LORD: He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: kas šai pilsētā paliek, tas mirs caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri, bet kas iet ārā pie Kaldejiem, tas dzīvos un savu dvēseli paturēs un dzīvos.
3 Thus saith the LORD: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.'
Tā saka Tas Kungs: šī pilsēta dotin taps dota Bābeles ķēniņa karaspēkam rokā, ka tas to uzņem.
4 Then the princes said unto the king: 'Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them; for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.'
Tad tie lielkungi sacīja uz ķēniņu: liec jel šo vīru nokaut; jo tā viņš rokas dara gurdenas tiem karavīriem, kas vēl atliek šai pilsētā, un rokas visiem ļaudīm, kad viņš tādus vārdus uz tiem runā; jo šis vīrs nemeklē šo ļaužu labumu, bet viņu ļaunumu.
5 Then Zedekiah the king said: 'Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.'
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sacīja: redzi, viņš ir jūsu rokās, jo ķēniņš pret jums nekā nespēj.
6 Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard; and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the pit there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
Tad tie ņēma Jeremiju, un to iemeta Malhijas, ķēniņa dēla, bedrē, kas bija cietuma pagalmā, un Jeremiju nolaida ar virvēm, bet tai bedrē nebija ūdens, bet dubļi, un Jeremija iegrima dubļos.
7 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an officer, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the pit; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
Un Ebedmelehs, Moru vīrs, ķēniņa sulainis, kas bija ķēniņa namā, dzirdēja, ka tie Jeremiju bija metuši bedrē, un ķēniņš sēdēja Benjamina vārtos.
8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying:
Tad Ebedmelehs izgāja no ķēniņa nama un runāja uz ķēniņu un sacīja:
9 'My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit; and he is like to die in the place where he is because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.'
Mans kungs un ķēniņ, šie vīri ir ļaunu darījuši ar visu, ko tie darījuši pravietim Jeremijam, ko tie metuši bedrē, un viņam savā vietā badu jāmirst, tāpēc ka maizes pilsētā vairs nav.
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying: 'Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit, before he die.'
Tad ķēniņš Ebedmeleham, tam Moru vīram, pavēlēja un sacīja: ņem no šejienes trīsdesmit vīrus līdz un izvelc pravieti Jeremiju no bedres, pirms viņš mirst.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence worn clouts and worn rags, and let them down by cords into the pit to Jeremiah.
Tad Ebedmelehs ņēma tos vīrus un nāca ķēniņa namā apakš mantu kambara un ņēma no turienes kādas vecas saplīsušas drēbju lupatas un tās nolaida ar virvēm pie Jeremijas bedrē.
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah: 'Put now these worn clouts and rags under thine armholes under the cords.' And Jeremiah did so.
Tad tas Moru vīrs Ebedmelehs sacīja uz Jeremiju: liec jel tās vecās saplīsušās drēbju lupatas apakš savām roku padusēm ap tām virvēm, un Jeremija tā darīja.
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the pit; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Un tie Jeremiju izvilka ar tām virvēm un viņu izcēla no bedres, un Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that was in the house of the LORD; and the king said unto Jeremiah: 'I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.'
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija nosūtīja un lika atvest pravieti Jeremiju pie sevis trešajā ieejamā vietā pie Tā Kunga nama. Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Jeremiju: es tev ko vaicāšu, neapslēp man nekā.
15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah: 'If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.'
Tad Jeremija sacīja uz Cedeķiju: kad es tev to sacīšu, tad tu mani kautin nokausi, un kad es tev padomu došu, tad tu tomēr mani neklausīsi.
16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly unto Jeremiah, saying: 'As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.'
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija Jeremijam zvērēja paslepeni un sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas mums šo dvēseli radījis, es tevi nenokaušu un tevi nenodošu šiem vīriem rokā, kas tavu dvēseli meklē.
17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, thou, and thy house;
Tad Jeremija sacīja uz Cedeķiju: tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: ja tu iet iziesi pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, tad tava dvēsele dzīvos, un šī pilsēta netaps ar uguni sadedzināta, un tad tu dzīvosi, tu un tavs nams.
18 but if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.'
Bet ja tu neiziesi pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, tad šī pilsēta Kaldejiem taps dota rokā, un tie to sadedzinās ar uguni, un tu no viņu rokas neizspruksi.
19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah: 'I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.'
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sacīja uz Jeremiju: es bīstos no tiem Jūdiem, kas Kaldejiem piekrituši, ka mani nenodod viņu rokā, un tie mani neapmēda.
20 But Jeremiah said: 'They shall not deliver thee. Hearken, I beseech thee, to the voice of the LORD, in that which I speak unto thee; so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.
Un Jeremija sacīja: tevi nenodos; klausi jel Tā Kunga balsij, ko es uz tevi runāju, tad tev labi klāsies, un tava dvēsele dzīvos.
21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shown me:
Bet ja tu liedzies iet ārā, tad šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs man parādījis:
22 Behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say: Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee; thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.
Redzi, visas sievas, kas Jūda ķēniņa namā atliek, taps izvestas pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, un tās sacīs: tavi draugi tevi pievīluši un tevi pārvarējuši, un kad nu tavas kājas iegrimušas dubļos, tad tie griezušies atpakaļ.
23 And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon; and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.'
Un visas tavas sievas un visi tavi bērni taps izvesti pie Kaldejiem, un tu pats neizspruksi no viņu rokām, bet tu tapsi sagrābts caur Bābeles ķēniņa roku un sadedzināsi šo pilsētu ar uguni.
24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah: 'Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Tad Cedeķija sacīja uz Jeremiju: lai neviens nezin par šiem vārdiem, ka tu nemirsti.
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee: Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee;
Un kad tie lielkungi dzirdēs, ka es ar tevi esmu runājis, un tie nāk pie tevis un uz tevi saka: saki mums jel, ko tu ar ķēniņu esi runājis, neslēp to mums, tad mēs tevi nenokausim, un ko ķēniņš uz tevi runājis?
26 then thou shalt say unto them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.'
Tad tev uz tiem būs sacīt: es pakritu lūgdams ķēniņa priekšā, ka tas mani neliktu vest Jonatana namā, tur mirt.
27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not reported.
Kad nu visi lielkungi pie Jeremijas nāca un viņu vaicāja, tad viņš tiem sacīja pēc visiem šiem vārdiem, ko ķēniņš bija pavēlējis. Un tie viņu atstāja mierā, jo tie to lietu nedabūja dzirdēt.
28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass, when Jerusalem was taken —
Un Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā līdz tai dienai, kad Jeruzāleme tapa uzņemta.
