Jeremiah 2
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja:
2 “Go, and you have called in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: I have remembered for you The kindness of your youth, the love of your espousals, Your going after Me in a wilderness, in a land not sown.
Ej un sauc Jeruzālemes ausīs un saki: Tā saka Tas Kungs: Es tevi pieminēju, kad tu vēl biji mīlīga meita un mīļa brūte, kad tu Man staigāji pakaļ tuksnesī, neapsētā zemē.
3 Israel [is] holy to YHWH, The first-fruit of His increase, All consuming him are guilty, Calamity comes to them,” A declaration of YHWH.
Israēls bija Tam Kungam svētīts un viņa augļu pirmaji; visi, kas to ēda, tie tapa noziedzīgi, ļaunums nāca pār tiem, saka Tas Kungs.
4 Hear a word of YHWH, O house of Jacob, And all you families of the house of Israel—
Klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, Jēkaba nams, visas Israēla nama ciltis.
5 Thus said YHWH: “What perversity have your fathers found in Me, That they have gone far off from Me, And go after vanity, and become vain,
Tā saka Tas Kungs: kādu netaisnību jūsu tēvi pie Manis atraduši, ka tie tālu no Manis atkāpušies un nelietībai dzinušies pakaļ un tapuši nelieši,
6 And have not said, Where [is] YHWH, Who brings us up out of the land of Egypt, Who leads us in a wilderness, In a land of deserts and pits, In a dry land, and of death-shade, In a land that none has passed through, Nor has man dwelt there?
Un nav sacījuši: kur ir Tas Kungs, kas mūs izveda no Ēģiptes zemes, kas mūs vadīja tuksnesī, tukšā un nestaigātā zemē, izkaltušā un nāves ēnas zemē, tai zemē, kur neviens negāja cauri un kur neviens cilvēks nedzīvoja?
7 Indeed, I bring you into a land of fruitful fields, To eat its fruit and its goodness, And you come in and defile My land, And have made My inheritance an abomination.
Un Es jūs ievedu auglīgā zemē, ēst viņas augļus un viņas labumu. Bet kad jūs nācāt iekšā, tad jūs Manu zemi sagānījāt un darījāt Manu īpašumu par negantību.
8 The priests have not said, Where [is] YHWH? And those handling the Law have not known Me. And the shepherds transgressed against Me, And the prophets have prophesied by Ba‘al, And have gone after those who do not profit.
Priesteri nesacīja: kur ir Tas Kungs? Un bauslības mācītāji Mani nepazina un gani atkāpās no Manis, un pravieši mācīja Baāla vārdā un dzinās pakaļ tiem, kas nekā neder.
9 Therefore, I yet plead with you,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I plead with your sons’ sons.
Tāpēc Es vēl ar jums tiesāšos, saka Tas Kungs, un ar jūsu bērnu bērniem Es tiesāšos.
10 For pass to the islands of Chittim and see, And send to Kedar and consider well, And see if there has been [anything] like this:
Jo ceļaties pāri uz Ķitiju salām un lūkojiet un sūtiet uz Ķedaru un ņemiet labi vērā un raugiet, vai tur tā noticis.
11 Has a nation changed gods? (And they [are] no gods!) And My people has changed its glory For that which does not profit.
Vai kādi pagāni dievus pārmijuši, jebšu tie nav dievi? Bet Mani ļaudis savu godību pārmijuši ar to, kas nekā neder.
12 Be astonished, you heavens, at this, Indeed, be frightened, be greatly desolated,” A declaration of YHWH.
Iztrūcinājaties par to, debesis, un trīciet un drebiet ļoti, saka Tas Kungs.
13 “For My people have done two evils, They have forsaken Me, a fountain of living waters, To hew out for themselves wells—broken wells, That do not contain the waters.
Jo Mani ļaudis dara divkārtīgu ļaunumu: tie Mani atstāj, to dzīvo ūdens avotu, un izcērt sev akas, cauras akas, kas ūdeni netur.
14 [Is] Israel a servant? Is he a child of the house? Why has he been for a prey?
Vai Israēls ir kalps jeb dzimts vergs? Kāpēc tad viņš ir palicis par laupījumu?
15 Young lions roar against him, They have given forth their voice, And make his land become a desolation, His cities have been burned without inhabitant.
Jaunie lauvas rūc pret viņu, tie paceļ savas balsis un posta viņa zemi; viņa pilsētas ir sadedzinātas, ka neviens tur nedzīvo.
16 Also sons of Noph and Tahapanes Consume you—the crown of the head!
Arī Nofas un Takvanesas bērni tev nogana galvu.
17 Do you not do this to yourself? [By] your forsaking your God YHWH, At the time He is leading you in the way?
Vai tu pats sev to nedari, ka tu To Kungu, savu Dievu atstāji tanī laikā, kad Viņš tevi veda uz ceļu?
18 And now, why do you [go] in the way of Egypt, To drink the waters of Sihor? And why do you [go] in the way of Asshur, To drink the waters of the River?
Un nu, ko tev iet Ēģiptes ceļu, dzert Šihora ūdeni? Un ko tev iet Asura ceļu, dzert lielās upes ūdeni?
19 Your wickedness instructs you, And your backslidings reprove you, Know and see that an evil and a bitter thing [is] your forsaking your God YHWH, And My fear not being on you,” A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts.
Tava blēdība tevi pārmācīs, un tava atkāpšanās tevi sodīs. Tāpēc atzīsti un redzi, ka tas ir ļauni un rūgti, ka tu To Kungu, savu Dievu, atstāji, un Manas bijāšanas nav pie tevis, saka Tas Kungs Dievs Cebaot.
20 “For from of old you have broken your yoke, Drawn away your bands, and say, I do not serve, For on every high height, and under every green tree, You are wandering—a harlot.
Jo no veciem laikiem tu savu jūgu esi salauzusi un savas saites saraustījusi un saki: es nekalpošu; jo uz visiem augstiem pakalniem un apakš visiem zaļiem kokiem tu skraidīji, maucību dzīt.
21 And I planted you [as] a choice vine, wholly of true seed, And how have you been turned Into the degenerate shoots of a strange vine to Me?
Es tevi biju dēstījis par jauku vīna koku, par it taisnu sēklu; kā tad tu Man esi pārvērtusies par sveša vīna koka rūgto meža zaru?
22 But though you wash with natron, And multiply soap to yourself, Your iniquity is marked before Me,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Jo jebšu tu mazgātos ar sārmu un ņemtu daudz ziepes klāt, tomēr tavs noziegums paliek iezīmēts manā priekšā, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
23 “How can you say, I have not been defiled, I have not gone after the Ba‘alim? See your way in a valley, know what you have done, A swift dromedary winding her ways,
Kā tu vari sacīt, es neesmu sagānījusies, es Baāliem neesmu dzinusies pakaļ? Redzi savu ceļu tai ielejā, ņem vērā, ko tu esi darījusi,
24 A wild donkey accustomed to a wilderness, She has swallowed up wind in the desire of her soul, Her meeting—who turns her back? None seeking her weary themselves, In her month they find her.
Tu čaklā kamieļu māte, kas šurpu turpu skraida, meža ēzeļu māte, ar tuksnesi apradusi, kas savā kārībā elš, - kas viņas karstumu savaldīs? Kas to grib meklēt tam nav jāpiekūst; jaunā mēnesī to var atrast.
25 Withhold your foot from being unshod, And your throat from thirst, And you say, It is incurable, No, for I have loved strangers, and I go after them.
Neskrej tā, ka tev apavi nokrīt un ka tu noslāpsti. Bet tu saki: tas ir velti, nekā! Jo es mīlēju tos svešos un dzīšos tiem pakaļ.
26 As the shame of a thief when he is found, So has the house of Israel been put to shame, They, their kings, their heads, And their priests, and their prophets,
Tā kā zaglis kaunas, kad to pienāk, tā Israēla nams taps kaunā, paši, viņu ķēniņi, viņu lielkungi un viņu priesteri un viņu pravieši,
27 Saying to wood, You [are] my father! And to a stone, You have brought me forth, For they turned to me the back and not the face, And in the time of their distress, They say, Arise, and save us.
Kas uz koku saka: tu esi mans tēvs, - un uz akmeni: tu mani esi dzemdinājis. Jo tie Man piegriež muguru, ne vaigu. Bet nelaimes dienā tie saka: celies un izpestī mūs.
28 And where [are] your gods, that you have made to yourself? Let them arise, if they may save you, In the time of your distress, For—the number of your cities have been your gods, O Judah,
Kur tad ir tavi dievi, ko tu sev esi taisījusi? Lai tie ceļas, vai tie bēdu laikā tevi var izpestīt; jo cik tev pilsētu, tik tev arī dievu, Jūda!
29 Why do you strive with Me? All of you have transgressed against Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
Kāpēc jūs strīdaties pret Mani? Jūs visi no Manis esat atkāpušies, saka Tas Kungs.
30 “I have struck your sons in vain, They have not accepted instruction, Your sword has devoured your prophets, As a destroying lion.
Jūsu bērnus Es esmu velti sitis, tie to pārmācību nav pieņēmuši. Jūsu zobens ir aprijis jūsu praviešus, kā plēsīgs lauva.
31 O generation, see the word of YHWH: Have I been a wilderness to Israel? A land of thick darkness? Why have My people said, We wandered freely, We do not come to You again.
Ak tu tauta, ņem jel vērā Tā Kunga vārdu! Vai tad Es Israēlim esmu tuksnesis vai tumša zeme? Kāpēc tad Mani ļaudis saka: mēs iesim savā vaļā, mēs nenāksim vairs pie Tevis?
32 Does a virgin forget her ornaments? A bride her bands? And My people have forgotten Me [for] days without number.
Vai jaunava aizmirst savu rotu, vai brūte savu greznumu? Bet Mani ļaudis Mani ir aizmirsuši jau neskaitāmas dienas.
33 Why do you make your ways pleasing to seek love? Therefore you have even taught the wicked your ways.
Cik brangi tavi ceļi, meklēt mīlestību! Tāpēc tu arī radini savus ceļus uz blēdībām.
34 Also the blood of innocent needy souls Has been found on your skirts, I have not found them by digging, But on all these.
Pat pie tavu drēbju vīlēm atrodas nabagu nenoziedzīgu dvēseļu asinis, ko tu nepienāci kā ielauzušos. Bet par to visu (Es ar tevi tiesāšos).
35 And you say, Because I have been innocent, Surely His anger has turned back from me? Behold, I have been judged with you, Because of your saying, I have not sinned.
Un tu saki: es esmu nenoziedzīga, tāpēc lai viņa bardzība no manis nogriežas. Redzi, Es par to tiesāšos ar tevi, ka tu saki: es neesmu grēkojusi!
36 What? You are very vile to repeat your way, You are even ashamed of Egypt, As you have been ashamed of Asshur,
Kam tu tik ļoti steidzies pārgrozīt savu ceļu? Pie Ēģiptes tu tāpat paliksi kaunā, ka tu kaunā palikusi pie Asura.
37 Also you go out from this, And your hands on your head, For YHWH has kicked at your confidences, And you do not give prosperity to them!”
Arī no turienes tu iziesi, rokas pār galvu sasizdama. Jo Tas Kungs ir atmetis, uz ko paļaujies, un tev ar viņiem labi neizdosies.
