Jeremiah 18
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Šis ir tas vārds, kas no Tā Kunga tā notika uz Jeremiju:
2 “Rise, and you have gone down [to] the potter’s house, and there I cause you to hear My words”;
Celies un noej podnieka namā, un tur Es tev likšu dzirdēt Savus vārdus.
3 and I go down [to] the potter’s house, and behold, he is doing a work on the stones,
Tad es nogāju podnieka namā, un redzi, viņš strādāja darbu uz skrituļa.
4 and the vessel that he is making is marred, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he has turned and he makes it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
Un tas pods, ko viņš no māliem taisīja, neizdevās podnieka rokā, tad viņš no tā atkal taisīja citu podu, kā tas podniekam patika.
5 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani tā notika:
6 “O house of Israel, am I not able to do to you as this potter?” A declaration of YHWH. “Behold, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] you in My hand, O house of Israel.
Vai Es jums tā nevaru darīt, kā šis podnieks, tu Israēla nams? Saka Tas Kungs. Redzi, kā māls podnieka rokā, tā jūs esat Manā rokā, tu Israēla nams.
7 The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
Vienreiz Es runāju par vienu tautu un par vienu valsti, ka Es to gribu izdeldēt un postīt un nomaitāt.
8 And that nation has turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have relented of the calamity that I thought to do to it.
Bet ja šī tauta atgriežas no sava ļaunuma, par ko Es esmu runājis, tad Man tā ļaunuma arī būs žēl, ko Es viņai gribēju darīt.
9 And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,
Un atkal Es par vienu tautu un par vienu valsti runāju, ka Es to gribu uztaisīt un dēstīt.
10 And it has done evil in My eyes, So as not to listen to My voice, Then I have relented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.
Bet ja tā priekš Manām acīm ļaunu dara un Manu balsi neklausa, tad Man arī būs žēl tā labuma, ko Es biju solījis viņai darīt.
11 And now, speak now to men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am framing calamity against you, And devising a scheme against you; Please turn back, each from his evil way, And amend your ways and your doings.”
Un nu runā jel uz Jūda vīriem un uz Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es pret jums daru ļaunumu un Man ir nodoms pret jums. Atgriežaties jel ikviens no sava ļaunā ceļa un griežaties uz labiem ceļiem un pie labiem darbiem.
12 And they have said, “It is incurable, For we go after our own plans, And each of us does the stubbornness of his evil heart.”
Bet tie saka: velti! Jo mēs staigāsim pēc savām domām un darīsim ikviens pēc savas ļaunās sirds stūrgalvības.
13 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Now ask among the nations, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs: vaicājiet jel starp pagāniem, kas tādas lietas dzirdējis? Israēla meita dara ļoti negantas lietas.
14 Does snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Will the cold strange [waters] that are flowing be forsaken?
Vai Lībanus sniegs atstājās no lauku klints? Vai svešie aukstie tekošie ūdeņi izsīkst?
15 But My people have forgotten Me, they make incense to a vain thing, And they cause them to stumble in their ways—paths of old, To walk in paths—a way not raised up,
Jo Mani ļaudis Mani aizmirsuši; tie kvēpina tiem nelietīgiem; šie tos darījuši klūpam viņu ceļos uz tām vecām tekām, ka tiem bija jāstaigā pa nestaigāta ceļa tekām,
16 To make their land become a desolation, A continuous hissing, Everyone passing by it is astonished, And bemoans with his head.
Ka viņu zeme paliek postā un par apsmieklu mūžīgi; visi, kas tur iet garām, iztrūcināsies un kratīs savu galvu.
17 I scatter them before an enemy as with an east wind, I show them the neck and not the face, In the day of their calamity.”
Kā rīta vējš, tā Es tos izkaisīšu ienaidnieku priekšā, Es tiem rādīšu muguru un ne vaigu viņu nelaimes dienā.
18 And they say, “Come, And we devise schemes against Jeremiah, For law does not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we strike him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.”
Tad tie sacīja: nāciet, sadomāsim padomu pret Jeremiju, jo bauslība nevar zust priesteriem nedz padoms gudriem nedz mācība praviešiem. Nāciet, kausim to ar mēli un neklausīsim nepavisam viņa vārdiem.
19 Give attention, O YHWH, to me, And listen to the voice of those contending with me.
Kungs, ņem mani vērā un klausi uz manu pretinieku balsi!
20 Is evil repaid instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before You to speak good of them, To turn back Your wrath from them.
Vai tad labu būs atmaksāt ar ļaunu? Jo tie manai dvēselei bedri rakuši. Piemini, ka es tavā priekšā esmu stāvējis un priekš tiem labu runājis, novērst tavu dusmību no viņiem.
21 Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men [are] struck by sword in battle,
Tāpēc nodod viņu bērnus badam, un lai tie aiziet caur zobena varu, un lai viņu sievas paliek bez bērniem un par atraitnēm, un lai viņu vīri kautin top nokauti un viņu jaunekļi ar zobenu nosisti karā.
22 A cry is heard from their houses, For You suddenly bring a troop against them, For they dug a pit to capture me, And they have hidden snares for my feet.
Lai brēkšana top dzirdēta viņu namos, kad piepeši pār tiem nāk karapulki; tāpēc ka tie bedri rakuši, mani gūstīt, un slepeni valgus likuši manām kājām.
23 And You, O YHWH, You have known, All their counsel against me [is] for death, You do not cover over their iniquity, Nor blot out their sin from before You, And they are made to stumble before You, Work against them in the time of Your anger!
Jo Tu, Kungs, zini visu viņu padomu pret mani, ka tie mani grib nokaut; neliecies salīdzināties par viņu noziegumiem un neizdeldē viņu grēkus Tavā priekšā, bet lai tie top nogāzti Tavā priekšā; tā dari ar tiem Tavas bardzības laikā.
