< Jeremiah 38 >

1 And Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur, and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, hear the words that Jeremiah is speaking to all the people, saying,
Bet Šefatija, Matana dēls, un Ģedalija, Pašhura dēls, un Juhals, Šelemijas dēls, un Pašhurs, Malhijas dēls, dzirdēja tos vārdus, ko Jeremija uz visiem ļaudīm runāja sacīdams:
2 “Thus said YHWH: He who is remaining in this city dies, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going forth to the Chaldeans lives, and his soul has been to him for a prey, and he lives.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: kas šai pilsētā paliek, tas mirs caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri, bet kas iet ārā pie Kaldejiem, tas dzīvos un savu dvēseli paturēs un dzīvos.
3 Thus said YHWH: This city is certainly given into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he has captured it.”
Tā saka Tas Kungs: šī pilsēta dotin taps dota Bābeles ķēniņa karaspēkam rokā, ka tas to uzņem.
4 And the heads say to the king, “Now let this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking to them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its calamity.”
Tad tie lielkungi sacīja uz ķēniņu: liec jel šo vīru nokaut; jo tā viņš rokas dara gurdenas tiem karavīriem, kas vēl atliek šai pilsētā, un rokas visiem ļaudīm, kad viņš tādus vārdus uz tiem runā; jo šis vīrs nemeklē šo ļaužu labumu, bet viņu ļaunumu.
5 And King Zedekiah says, “Behold, he [is] in your hand: for the king is not able [to do] anything against you.”
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sacīja: redzi, viņš ir jūsu rokās, jo ķēniņš pret jums nekā nespēj.
6 And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that [is] in the court of the prison, and they send Jeremiah down with cords; and there is no water in the pit, but mire, and Jeremiah sinks in the mire.
Tad tie ņēma Jeremiju, un to iemeta Malhijas, ķēniņa dēla, bedrē, kas bija cietuma pagalmā, un Jeremiju nolaida ar virvēm, bet tai bedrē nebija ūdens, bet dubļi, un Jeremija iegrima dubļos.
7 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [is] in the king’s house, hears that they have put Jeremiah into the pit; and the king is sitting at the Gate of Benjamin,
Un Ebedmelehs, Moru vīrs, ķēniņa sulainis, kas bija ķēniņa namā, dzirdēja, ka tie Jeremiju bija metuši bedrē, un ķēniņš sēdēja Benjamina vārtos.
8 and Ebed-Melech goes forth from the king’s house, and speaks to the king, saying,
Tad Ebedmelehs izgāja no ķēniņa nama un runāja uz ķēniņu un sacīja:
9 “My lord, O king, these men have done evil [in] all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit, and he dies in his place because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.”
Mans kungs un ķēniņ, šie vīri ir ļaunu darījuši ar visu, ko tie darījuši pravietim Jeremijam, ko tie metuši bedrē, un viņam savā vietā badu jāmirst, tāpēc ka maizes pilsētā vairs nav.
10 And the king commands Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, “Take with you thirty men from here, and you have brought up Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dies.”
Tad ķēniņš Ebedmeleham, tam Moru vīram, pavēlēja un sacīja: ņem no šejienes trīsdesmit vīrus līdz un izvelc pravieti Jeremiju no bedres, pirms viņš mirst.
11 And Ebed-Melech takes the men with him, and enters the house of the king, to the place of the treasury, and takes there worn-out shreds of cloth, and worn-out rags, and sends them by cords into the pit to Jeremiah.
Tad Ebedmelehs ņēma tos vīrus un nāca ķēniņa namā apakš mantu kambara un ņēma no turienes kādas vecas saplīsušas drēbju lupatas un tās nolaida ar virvēm pie Jeremijas bedrē.
12 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite says to Jeremiah, “Now put the worn-out pieces of cloth and rags under your arms, at the place of the cords,” and Jeremiah does so,
Tad tas Moru vīrs Ebedmelehs sacīja uz Jeremiju: liec jel tās vecās saplīsušās drēbju lupatas apakš savām roku padusēm ap tām virvēm, un Jeremija tā darīja.
13 and they draw Jeremiah out with cords, and bring him up out of the pit, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison.
Un tie Jeremiju izvilka ar tām virvēm un viņu izcēla no bedres, un Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā.
14 And King Zedekiah sends, and takes Jeremiah the prophet to him, to the third entrance that [is] in the house of YHWH, and the king says to Jeremiah, “I am asking you something, do not hide anything from me.”
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija nosūtīja un lika atvest pravieti Jeremiju pie sevis trešajā ieejamā vietā pie Tā Kunga nama. Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Jeremiju: es tev ko vaicāšu, neapslēp man nekā.
15 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “When I declare [it] to you, do you not surely put me to death? And when I counsel you, you do not listen to me.”
Tad Jeremija sacīja uz Cedeķiju: kad es tev to sacīšu, tad tu mani kautin nokausi, un kad es tev padomu došu, tad tu tomēr mani neklausīsi.
16 And King Zedekiah swears to Jeremiah in secret, saying, “YHWH lives, He who made this soul for us, I do not put you to death, nor give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your soul.”
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija Jeremijam zvērēja paslepeni un sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas mums šo dvēseli radījis, es tevi nenokaušu un tevi nenodošu šiem vīriem rokā, kas tavu dvēseli meklē.
17 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “Thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel: If you certainly go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then your soul has lived, and this city is not burned with fire, indeed, you have lived, you and your house.
Tad Jeremija sacīja uz Cedeķiju: tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: ja tu iet iziesi pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, tad tava dvēsele dzīvos, un šī pilsēta netaps ar uguni sadedzināta, un tad tu dzīvosi, tu un tavs nams.
18 And if you do not go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then this city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they have burned it with fire, and you do not escape from their hand.”
Bet ja tu neiziesi pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, tad šī pilsēta Kaldejiem taps dota rokā, un tie to sadedzinās ar uguni, un tu no viņu rokas neizspruksi.
19 And King Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “I am fearing the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand, and they have insulted me.”
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sacīja uz Jeremiju: es bīstos no tiem Jūdiem, kas Kaldejiem piekrituši, ka mani nenodod viņu rokā, un tie mani neapmēda.
20 And Jeremiah says, “They do not give you up; please listen to the voice of YHWH, to that which I am speaking to you, and it is well for you, and your soul lives.
Un Jeremija sacīja: tevi nenodos; klausi jel Tā Kunga balsij, ko es uz tevi runāju, tad tev labi klāsies, un tava dvēsele dzīvos.
21 And if you are refusing to go forth, this [is] the thing that YHWH has shown me:
Bet ja tu liedzies iet ārā, tad šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs man parādījis:
22 That, behold, all the women who have been left in the house of the king of Judah are brought forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, and behold, they are saying: Persuaded you, and prevailed against you, Have your allies, Your feet have sunk into mire, They have been turned backward.
Redzi, visas sievas, kas Jūda ķēniņa namā atliek, taps izvestas pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, un tās sacīs: tavi draugi tevi pievīluši un tevi pārvarējuši, un kad nu tavas kājas iegrimušas dubļos, tad tie griezušies atpakaļ.
23 And all your wives and your sons are brought forth to the Chaldeans, and you do not escape from their hand, for you are caught by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city is burned with fire.”
Un visas tavas sievas un visi tavi bērni taps izvesti pie Kaldejiem, un tu pats neizspruksi no viņu rokām, bet tu tapsi sagrābts caur Bābeles ķēniņa roku un sadedzināsi šo pilsētu ar uguni.
24 And Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you do not die;
Tad Cedeķija sacīja uz Jeremiju: lai neviens nezin par šiem vārdiem, ka tu nemirsti.
25 and when the heads hear that I have spoken with you, and they have come to you, and have said to you, Now declare to us what you spoke to the king, do not hide [it] from us, and we do not put you to death, and what the king spoke to you,
Un kad tie lielkungi dzirdēs, ka es ar tevi esmu runājis, un tie nāk pie tevis un uz tevi saka: saki mums jel, ko tu ar ķēniņu esi runājis, neslēp to mums, tad mēs tevi nenokausim, un ko ķēniņš uz tevi runājis?
26 then you have said to them, I am causing my supplication to fall before the king, not to cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.”
Tad tev uz tiem būs sacīt: es pakritu lūgdams ķēniņa priekšā, ka tas mani neliktu vest Jonatana namā, tur mirt.
27 And all the heads come to Jeremiah, and ask him, and he declares to them according to all these words that the king commanded, and they keep silent from him, for the matter was not heard;
Kad nu visi lielkungi pie Jeremijas nāca un viņu vaicāja, tad viņš tiem sacīja pēc visiem šiem vārdiem, ko ķēniņš bija pavēlējis. Un tie viņu atstāja mierā, jo tie to lietu nedabūja dzirdēt.
28 and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem has been captured, and he was [there] when Jerusalem was captured.
Un Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā līdz tai dienai, kad Jeruzāleme tapa uzņemta.
