Jeremiah 6
1 Assemble, O ye children of Benjamin, to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and in Tekoa, blow the cornet, and on Beth-hakkerem set up a fire signal; for evil is seen [coming] out of the north, and great havoc.
Bēgat, Benjamina bērni, no Jeruzālemes, bazūnējat Tekoā, ceļat ugunszīmi BetKeremē, jo bēdas rādās no ziemeļa puses un liels posts.
2 The comely and the delicate, the daughter of Zion do I destroy.
Es izdeldu Ciānas meitu, to jauko un vēlīgo.
3 Unto her shall come shepherds with their flocks; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed off every one his own place.
Gani uz viņu nāks ar saviem ganāmiem pulkiem, tie uzcels teltis visapkārt ap viņu, tie noganīs ikviens savu vietu.
4 Prepare ye war against her! “Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day waneth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
Taisāties uz karu pret viņu, ceļaties, ejam pašā dienas vidū. Ak vai, (bēdas) mums! Jo vakars metās un ēnas paliek garākas.
5 Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.”
Ceļaties, un ejam pašā naktī un izpostīsim viņas jaukos namus.
6 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Cut ye down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city whose time of punishment is come; she is full of oppression in her midst.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: nocērtiet kokus un uzmetiet valni pret Jeruzālemi; šī ir tā pilsēta, kas taps piemeklēta. Viņas vidū ir tik netaisnība vien.
7 As a well sendeth forth its waters, so doth she cause her wickedness to spring forth: violence and robbery are heard in her; in my presence there are continually disease and wounds.
Kā avots izverd savu ūdeni, tā viņa izverd savu ļaunumu. Varasdarbu un postu tur dzird, kaušanās un plēšanās bez mitēšanās ir manā priekšā.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, that my soul tear itself not away from thee; that I render thee not desolate, a land which is not inhabited.
Pieņem mācību, Jeruzāleme, lai Mana dvēsele no tevis nenogriežas, lai Es tevi nedaru par tuksnesi, par zemi bez iedzīvotāja.
9 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean like a vine the remnant of Israel: carry back thy hand as a grape-gatherer frequently to the baskets.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: kas atliek no Israēla, to tie otrā reizē nolasīs kā vīna koku. Ņem traukus atkal rokā kā vīna ogu lasītājs.
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot be attentive: behold, the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
Uz ko lai es runāju un dodu liecību, ka tie to dzird? Redzi, viņu ausis ir neapgraizītas, ka tie nevar dzirdēt. Redzi, Tā Kunga vārds tiem ir par apsmieklu, pie tā tiem nav labs prāts.
11 And I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with sustaining it: [I must] pour it out over the child in the street, and over the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be seized, the aged with him that is full of days.
Tādēļ es esmu pilns Tā Kunga bardzības, ka nevaru valdīties. Izgāz to arī pār bērniem uz ielām, un pār to jaunekļu draudzi kopā, jo vīri un sievas tiks aizņemti, veci un kas mūžu piedzīvojuši.
12 And their houses shall be transferred unto others, fields and wives together; for I will stretch out my hand over the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
Un viņu nami taps citiem līdz ar tīrumiem un sievām; jo Es izstiepšu Savu roku pret tās zemes iedzīvotājiem, saka Tas Kungs.
13 For from their least even unto their greatest, every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one practiseth falsehood.
Jo visi ir mantas kārīgi, tā mazi kā lieli; tā pravietis kā priesteris, visi dzen viltību.
14 And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people very lightly, saying, Peace, peace: when there is no peace.
Un tie dziedina Manas tautas vainu kā par nieku, sacīdami: miers, miers! Kur tomēr miera nav.
15 They should have been ashamed, because they had committed an abomination; but they neither felt the least shame, nor did they know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among those that fall; at the time that I punish their sin shall they stumble, saith the Lord.
Tie krituši kaunā, ka darījuši negantību. Bet tie nemaz nekaunas un neprot kauna. Tāpēc tie kritīs starp tiem kritušiem; kad es tos piemeklēšu, tad tiem būs krist, saka Tas Kungs.
16 Thus hath said the Lord, Place yourselves on the ways, and see, and ask after the ancient paths, where is the way which is good, that ye may walk thereon, and find rest for your soul. But they said, We will not walk [thereon].
Tā saka Tas Kungs: stājaties uz ceļiem un raugāt un vaicājiet pēc tiem senajiem ceļiem, kurš tas labais ceļš, un staigājiet pa to, tad jūs atradīsiet dusu savai dvēselei. Bet tie saka: mēs negribam staigāt.
17 Then did I set watchmen over you, [saying, ] Listen to the sound of the cornet. But they said, We will not listen.
Es arī esmu iecēlis sargus pār jums, klausāties uz trumetes skaņu. Bet tie saka: mēs negribam klausīties.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O assembly, what [guilt] is among them.
Tāpēc klausāties, tautas, un ņem vērā, draudze, kas viņu starpā notiek.
19 Hear, O earth! behold, I will bring evil upon this people, the fruit of their thoughts; because unto my words have they not been attentive, and as regardeth my law, —that have they despised.
Klausies, zeme! Redzi, Es vedīšu ļaunumu pār šiem ļaudīm, viņu padomu augļus, jo tie neklausās uz Manu vārdu, un Manu bauslību tie atmet.
20 To what purpose serveth me the frankincense which cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far-off country? your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not agreeable unto me.
Par ko tad Man tas vīraks, kas nāk no Sabas, un tās labās niedres no tālās zemes? Jūsu dedzināmie upuri Man nepatīk, un jūsu kaujamie upuri Man nemīlami.
21 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will place before this people stumbling-blocks, and thereon shall stumble the fathers and the sons together, the neighbor and his friend, and they shall perish.
Tādēļ Tas Kungs tā saka: redzi, Es šiem ļaudīm likšu piedauzekļus, un tēvi un bērni kopā pie tiem piedauzīsies, kaimiņš ar kaimiņu ies bojā.
22 Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, a people is coming from the north country, and a great nation shall wake up from the farthest ends of the earth.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, tauta nāk no ziemeļa zemes, un liela tauta celsies no pasaules malām;
23 Bow and spear shall they firmly grasp; cruel are they, and will have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and upon horses do they ride; set in array as one man for the war, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
Tā nes stopus un šķēpus, tā ir briesmīga un nežēlīga, viņu balss kauc kā jūra, un tie jāj uz zirgiem; tie ir apbruņoti kā karavīri pret tevi, Ciānas meita.
24 We have heard the fame of him—our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, pain, as of a woman in giving birth.
Kad mēs par viņiem baumas dzirdējām, tad mūsu rokas nogura, bailība mums uzbruka un sāpes kā dzemdētājai.
25 Go not forth into the field, on the road must ye not walk; for [there is] the sword of the enemy, terror on every side.
Neizejat laukā un nestaigājat pa ceļu, jo ienaidnieka zobens ir visapkārt par iztrūcināšanu.
26 O daughter of my people, gird thyself with sackcloth, and roll thyself in the ashes: a mourning as for an only son prepare unto thee, a most bitter lamentation; for suddenly will the destroyer come over us.
Ak, mana tauta, apjoz maisu un nometies pelnos, žēlojies kā par vienīgo dēlu, bēdājies gauži, jo postītājs nāk pār mums piepeši.
27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and probe their way.
Es tevi esmu iecēlis par pārbaudītāju starp Maniem ļaudīm kā stipru pili, ka tev viņu ceļu būs atzīt un pārbaudīt.
28 They all are grievous revolters, going about as talebearers, copper and iron: they all are corrupt.
Tie visi ir tie lielākie atkāpēji un staigā viltībā, tie ir varš un dzelzs, tie visi ir samaitātāji.
29 The bellows are burnt, by the fire the lead is consumed: in vain the melter refineth; for the wicked are not separated away.
Plēšas ir sadegušas, no viņu uguns nāk tikai svins, kausētājs velti kausējis, jo sārņi nav atšķirti.
30 Refuse silver men call them; because the Lord hath rejected them.
Tie top nosaukti par atmestu sudrabu, jo Tas Kungs tos ir atmetis.
