< Jeremias 1 >
1 The word of God which came to Jeremias the [son] of Chelcias, of the priests, who lived in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Jeremijas vārdi, kas bija Hilķijas dēls, no tiem priesteriem Anatotā Benjamina zemē.
2 [accordingly] as the word of God came to him in the days of Josias son of Amos king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Uz to Tā Kunga vārds notika Josijas, Amona dēla, Jūda ķēniņa dienās, viņa valdīšanas trīspadsmitā gadā.
3 And it was in the days of Joakim, son of Josias king of Juda, until the eleventh year of Sedekias king of Juda, [even] until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
Tāpat uz viņu notika Jojaķima, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa dienās, kamēr beidzās Cedeķijas, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, vienpadsmitais gads, kad Jeruzālemes ļaudis tapa aizvesti piektā mēnesī.
4 And the word of the Lord came to him, [saying],
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani un sacīja:
5 Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you; and before you came forth from the womb, I sanctified you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
Pirms Es tevi radīju mātes miesās, Es tevi esmu pazinis, un pirms tu iznāci no mātes miesām, Es tevi esmu svētījis; tautām par pravieti Es tevi esmu licis.
6 And I said, O Lord, you that are supreme Lord, behold, I know not [how] to speak, for I am a child.
Tad es sacīju: ak Kungs, Dievs, redzi, es neprotu runāt, jo es esmu jauns.
7 And the Lord said to me, Say not, I am a child: for you shall go to all to whoever I shall send you, and according to all [the words] that I shall command you, you shall speak.
Bet Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: nesaki, es esmu jauns; jo visur, kurp Es tevi sūtīšu, tev būs iet, un visu, ko Es tev pavēlēšu, tev būs runāt.
8 Be not afraid before them: for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
Nebīsties no viņiem, jo Es esmu ar tevi un tevi izglābšu, saka Tas Kungs.
9 And the Lord stretched forth his hand to me, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my words into your mouth.
Un Tas Kungs izstiepa Savu roku un aizskāra manu muti, un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: redzi, Es lieku Savus vārdus tavā mutē.
10 Behold, I have appointed you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to rebuild, and to plant.
Redzi, Es tevi šodien ieceļu pār tautām un pār valstīm, izraut un salauzīt un izdeldēt un izpostīt, tad uztaisīt un dēstīt.
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, What see you? And I said, A rod of an almond tree.
Un Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja: ko tu redzi, Jeremija? Un es sacīju: es redzu zizli (mandeļu koka zaru).
12 And the Lord said to me, You have well seen: for I have watched over my words to perform them.
Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: tu esi labi redzējis; jo Es būšu nomodā par Savu vārdu, ka Es to daru.
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What see you? And I said, A caldron on the fire; and the face of it is toward the north.
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani otru reiz un sacīja: ko tu redzi? Un es sacīju: es redzu verdošu podu no ziemeļa puses.
14 And the Lord said to me, From the north shall flame forth evils upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: no ziemeļa puses ļaunums gāzīsies pār visiem zemes iedzīvotājiem.
15 For, behold, I call together all the kingdoms of the earth from the north, says the Lord; and they shall come, and shall set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls round about her, and against all the cities of Juda.
Jo redzi, Es saucu visas ķēniņu valstu ciltis no ziemeļa puses, saka Tas Kungs, un tie nāks un cels ikviens savu krēslu priekš Jeruzālemes vārtu durvīm un pret visiem viņas mūriem visapkārt un pret visām Jūda pilsētām.
16 And I will speak to them in judgment, concerning all their iniquity, [forasmuch] as they have forsaken me, and sacrificed to strange gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Un Es spriedīšu Savu sodību pret viņiem par visu viņu ļaunumu, ka tie Mani atstājuši un kvēpinājuši citiem dieviem un klanījušies priekš savu roku darba.
17 And do you gird up your loins, and stand up, and speak all [the words] that I shall command you: be not afraid of their face, neither be you alarmed before them; for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
Tu tad apjoz savus gurnus un celies un runā uz tiem visu, ko Es tev pavēlēšu; neiztrūcinājies priekš viņiem, lai Es tevi neiztrūcināju viņu priekšā.
18 Behold, I have made you this day as a strong city, and as a brazen wall, strong [against] all the kings of Juda, and the princes thereof, and the people of the land.
Jo redzi, Es tevi šodien ceļu par stipru pilsētu un par dzelzs stabu un par vara mūri pret visu šo zemi, pret Jūda ķēniņiem, pret viņu lielkungiem, pret viņu priesteriem un pret tās zemes ļaudīm.
19 And they shall fight against you; but they shall by no means prevail against you; because I am with you, to deliver you, says the Lord.
Un tie karos pret tevi, bet nekā neiespēs pret tevi; jo Es esmu ar tevi, saka Tas Kungs, tevi izglābt.
