< Jeremias 3 >

1 If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? you you have gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and have returned to me, says the Lord.
Un Viņš saka: kad vīrs atstumj savu sievu, un tā aiziet no viņa un ņem citu vīru, vai tas viņu atkal drīkst pieņemt? Vai tāda zeme netaptu ļoti sagānīta? Bet tu ar daudz drauģeļiem esi maucību dzinusi un griezies atkal pie Manis, saka Tas Kungs.
2 Lift up your eyes [to look] straight forward, and see where you have not been utterly defiled. You have sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and have defiled the land with your fornications and your wickedness.
Pacel savas acis uz tiem elku kalniem un skaties: kur tu neesi tapusi apsmieta! Tu viņu dēļ esi ceļmalā sēdējusi kā Arābs tuksnesī; tā tu zemi esi sagānījusi ar savu maucību un ar savu blēdību.
3 And you did retain many shepherds for a stumbling block to yourself: you had a whore's face, you did become shameless toward all.
Tādēļ agrais lietus top aizturēts, un vēlais lietus nenāk. Bet tev ir maukas piere, tu negribi kaunēties.
4 Hast you not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of your virgin-time?
Un taču no šī laika tu Mani piesauci: mans Tēvs! Tu esi manas jaunības draugs!
5 Will [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done these bad things, and had power [to do them].
Vai Viņš vienmēr dusmosies, vai Viņš bardzību turēs mūžīgi? Redzi, tā tu runā un dari ļaunu cik spēdama.
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of Josias the king, Hast you seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani ķēniņa Josijas dienās: Vai esi redzējis, ko Israēla cilts atkāpdamās darījusi? Viņa gāja uz ikkatru elka kalnu un apakš visiem zaļiem kokiem un tur maukoja.
7 And I said after she had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness.
Un Es sacīju, kad tā visu to bija darījusi, atgriezies pie Manis; bet tā neatgriezās; un to redzēja viņas māsa, tā neuzticīgā Jūda cilts.
8 And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement, ) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication.
Un Es redzēju, lai gan Es tādēļ, ka tā pārkāpēja Israēla cilts laulību bija pārlauzusi, viņu biju atstājis un tai devis šķiršanās grāmatu, ka tomēr viņas māsa, neuzticīgā Jūda cilts, nebijās, bet nogāja un dzina pati arīdzan maucību.
9 And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone.
Un ar savas maucības slavu tā ir sagānījusi zemi, jo tā lauza laulību ar akmeņiem un kokiem.
10 And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely.
Un pie visa tā arī viņas māsa, neuzticīgā Jūda cilts, pie Manis nav atgriezusies no visas savas sirds, bet ar viltu, saka Tas Kungs.
11 And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: Israēla cilts, tā atkāpēja, izturas taisnāki, nekā neuzticīgā Jūda cilts.
12 Go and read these words toward the north, and you shall say, Return to me, O house of Israel, says the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, says the Lord, and I will not be angry with you for ever.
Ej un sauc šos vārdus pret ziemeļa pusi un saki: atgriezies, Israēla cilts, tu atkāpēja, saka Tas Kungs, tad Es Savu dusmību negriezīšu uz tevi. Jo Es esmu žēlīgs, saka Tas Kungs, Es negribu mūžīgi dusmoties.
13 Nevertheless, know your iniquity, that you have sinned against the Lord your God, and have scattered your ways to strangers under every shady tree, but you did not listen to my voice, says the Lord.
Atzīsti tikai savu noziegumu, ka tu esi apgrēkojusies pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, un šurp turp esi skraidījusi pie svešiem, apakš ikkatra zaļa koka, bet Manai balsij jūs neesat paklausījuši, saka Tas Kungs.
14 Turn, you children that have revolted, says the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Sion:
Atgriežaties, atkāpēji bērni, saka Tas Kungs, - jo Es jūs esmu precējis un jūs uzņemšu, vienu no pilsētas un divas no cilts, un Es jūs vedīšu uz Ciānu.
15 and I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge.
Un Es jums došu ganus pēc Mana prāta, un tie jūs ganīs ar ziņu un prātu.
16 And it shall come to pass that when you are multiplied and increased upon the land, says the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done any more.
Un notiks, kad jūs vairosities un būsiet auglīgi tai zemē tanīs dienās, saka Tas Kungs, tad vairs nesacīs: „Tā Kunga derības šķirsts“un tas arī vairs prātā nenāks un to arī vairs nepieminēs nedz meklēs nedz to atkal uztaisīs.
17 In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations of their evil heart.
Tanī laikā Jeruzāleme taps nosaukta: „Tā Kunga goda krēsls“, un pie viņas visi pagāni taps sapulcināti, tādēļ ka Tā Kunga vārds ir Jeruzālemē; un tie nestaigās vairs pēc savas niknās sirds domām.
18 In those days the house of Juda, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.
Tanīs dienās Jūda nams ies pie Israēla nama, un tie nāks kopā no ziemeļu zemes uz to zemi, ko es jūsu tēviem esmu devis par mantību.
19 And I said, So be it, Lord, for [you said] I will set you among children, and will give you a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, You shall call me Father; and you shall not turn away from me.
Es gan sacīju: kā Es tevi stādīšu starp tiem bērniem un tev došu jauku zemi, visglītāko mantību starp tautu glītumiem! Un sacīju: „Mans Tēvs!“jūs Mani sauksiet un no Manis neatkāpsities.
20 But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord.
Patiesi, tā kā sieva savam draugam ir neuzticīga, tā jūs esat bijuši neuzticīgi pret Mani, jūs no Israēla nama, saka Tas Kungs.
21 A voice from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One.
Balss taps dzirdēta uz kalniem, Israēla bērnu raudāšana un žēlošanās, ka tie pārgrozījuši savu ceļu un aizmirsuši To Kungu, savu Dievu.
22 Turn, you children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be your servants; for you are the Lord our God.
Atgriežaties, atkāpēji bērni, Es jūsu atkāpšanos dziedināšu. Redzi, mēs nākam pie Tevis, jo Tu, Kungs, esi mūsu Dievs.
23 Truly the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
Patiesi, tas ir viltus ar tiem pakalniem un ar visiem tiem kalniem; patiesi, pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, ir Israēla pestīšana.
24 But shame has consumed the labors of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters.
Jo tas kauna darbs ir apēdis mūsu tēvu pūliņu no mūsu jaunības, viņu avis un viņu vēršus, viņu dēlus un viņu meitas.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.
Mēs guļam savā kaunā, un mūsu negods mūs apklāj. Jo mēs esam grēkojuši pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, mēs un mūsu tēvi no savas jaunības līdz šai dienai, un neesam klausījuši uz Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi.
