Zechariah 7
1 It happened in the fourth year of king Daryavesh that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
Un notikās ķēniņa Dārija ceturtā gadā, tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju devītā, tas ir Ķislev mēneša, ceturtā dienā,
2 The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech, and their men, to entreat the LORD's favor,
Tad Bētele sūtīja Sareceru un ReģemMeleķu ar saviem vīriem, To Kungu pielūgt
3 and to speak to the priests of the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, "Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?"
Un sacīt uz tiem priesteriem Tā Kunga Cebaot namā un uz tiem praviešiem: Vai man jāraud piektā mēnesī un jāgavē, kā es tik daudz gadus esmu darījis?
4 Then the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
Tad Tā Kunga Cebaot vārds notika uz mani un sacīja:
5 "Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?
Runā uz visiem zemes ļaudīm un uz priesteriem un saki: kad jūs gavējāt un žēlojaties piektā un septītā mēnesī šos septiņdesmit gadus, vai jūs tādu(patiesu) gavēšanu esiet Man gavējuši?
6 When you eat, and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
Bet kad jūs ēdat un kad jūs dzerat, vai jūs tie neesat, kas ēd un dzer?
7 Aren't these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the Negev and the lowland were inhabited?'"
Vai šie nav tie vārdi, ko Tas Kungs izsauca caur tiem pirmiem praviešiem, kad Jeruzāleme dzīvoja mierā, un viņas pilsētas visapkārt, un dienvidu puse un ieleja bija apdzīvota?
8 The word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,
Atkal Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju sacīdams:
9 "Thus has the LORD of hosts spoken, saying, 'Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
Tā runā Tas Kungs Cebaot un saka: nesiet patiesīgu tiesu un parādiet ikviens savam brālim žēlastību un apžēlošanu.
10 Do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.'
Un neapbēdiniet ne atraitni, nedz bāriņu, nedz svešinieku, nedz nabagu, un nedomājiet ļauna cits pret citu savā sirdī.
11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
Bet tie negribēja klausīt un palika stūrgalvīgi un apcietināja savas ausis, nepaklausīdami.
12 Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.
Un savu sirdi tie darīja par dimantu, ka neklausītu bauslību un tos vārdus, ko Tas Kungs Cebaot sūtīja ar Savu Garu caur tiem pirmiem praviešiem.
13 It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen," said the LORD of hosts;
Tādēļ tāda liela dusmība nākusi no Tā Kunga Cebaot. Tāpēc noticis, tā kā Viņš bija saucis, un tie nebija klausījuši; tāpat tie arīdzan sauca, bet Es neklausīju, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
14 "but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate."
Tā Es tos esmu izputinājis starp visiem pagāniem, ko tie nepazina, un tā zeme aiz tiem tapa postīta, tā ka neviens tur nestaigāja, un tā viņi to jauko zemi darīja par postažu.
