Jeremiah 5
1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, And see I pray you and know and seek out in the broad places thereof, Whether ye can find, a man, Whether there is one Doing justice Demanding fidelity, —That I may pardon her.
Ejat apkārt pa Jeruzālemes ielām un pieraugāt jel un ņemiet vērā un meklējiet pa viņas platām ielām, vai jūs varat kādu atrast, vai ir kāds, kas taisnību dara un patiesību meklē, - tad Es viņai piedošu.
2 Even though they say By the life of Yahweh, Yet in fact falsely, do they swear.
Un jebšu tie visi saka: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, tomēr tie zvēr nepatiesi.
3 O Yahweh! thine own eyes, are they not directed to fidelity? Thou hast smitten them Yet have they not grieved, Thou hast consumed them—They have refused to receive correction, —They have made their faces bolder than a cliff, They have refused to return.
Ak Kungs! Vai Tavas acis (neraugās) uz ticību? Tu tos siti, bet tie nejūt sāpes, Tu tos apbēdini, bet tie negrib pieņemt pārmācību; tie savus vaigus apcietinājuši vairāk nekā akmeni, tie negrib atgriezties.
4 And, I, said, —Only, poor people, are they, —They act foolishly, For they know not the way of Yahweh, the justice of their God!
Un es sacīju: tiešām, tie ir nabagi, tie ir neprātīgi, tādēļ ka tie nezin Tā Kunga ceļu, sava Dieva tiesu,
5 I will betake me unto the great men, and will speak, with them! For, they, know the way of Yahweh, the justice of their God! Yea but, they, with one accord have broken the yoke, torn off the bands.
Es iešu pie tiem lieliem un runāšu ar tiem, jo tie zin Tā Kunga ceļu, sava Dieva tiesu. Bet tie visi kopā to jūgu salauzuši un tās saites saraustījuši.
6 For this cause, hath the lion out of the forest smitten them, The wolf of the waste plains, preyeth upon them, The leopard, is keeping watch over their cities, Every one that goeth out from thence, is torn in pieces, —For they have multiplied their transgressions, Numerous are their apostasies.
Tādēļ tos sitīs lauva no meža, un vilks no tuksneša tos postīs, pardelis(leopards) glūn pret viņu pilsētām, visi, kas no turienes iziet, taps saplosīti. Jo viņu grēki ir vairojušies, viņu pārkāpumi augumā auguši.
7 How, for this, can I pardon thee? Thine own sons, have forsaken me, And have sworn by No-gods, —When I had fed them to the full, Then committed they adultery, And the house of the unchaste woman, they used to throng:
Kādēļ tad lai Es tevi žēloju? Tavi bērni Mani atstāj un zvērē pie tā, kas dievs nav. Kad Es nu tos esmu pieēdinājis, tad tie lauž laulību un iet pa pulkiem mauku namā.
8 Lusty, well-fed horses, had they become, Every man unto his neighbour’s wife, would neigh!
Kā baroti ērzeļi tie ceļas agri, ikviens zviedz pēc sava tuvākā sievas.
9 For these things, shall I not punish? Demandeth Yahweh: Yea on a nation such as this, must not my soul avenge herself?
Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt, saka Tas Kungs, jeb vai Manai dvēselei nav jāatriebjās pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
10 Scale ye her walls and destroy, But a full end, do not make, —Remove her tendrils, For not to Yahweh, do, they, belong!
Kāpjat uz viņas mūriem un samaitājiet tos, bet neizpostiet tos pavisam. Atņemiet viņas stīgas, jo tās nav no Tā Kunga.
11 For very treacherously, have the house of Israel and the house of Judah dealt with me, Declareth Yahweh.
Jo Israēla nams un Jūda nams palikuši visai neuzticīgi pret Mani, saka Tas Kungs.
12 They have acted deceptively against Yahweh, And have said, Not He! Neither shall there come upon us, calamity, Nor sword nor famine, shall we see;
Tie aizliedz To Kungu un saka: viņš nav tas, un mums ļaunums neuzies, mēs neredzēsim nedz zobenu nedz badu.
13 But the prophets, shall prove to be wind, And there is no one speaking in them, —Thus, shall it be done to themselves!
Arī pravieši aizies vējā, jo (Dieva) vārds nav pie viņiem; pašiem tiem tas tā notiks.
14 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, Because ye have spoken this word, —Behold me! making my words in thy mouth to be fire, And, this people, —wood, So shall it devour them.
Tādēļ saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot: Tāpēc ka jūs šo vārdu sakāt, redzi, Es Savu vārdu tavā mutē darīšu par uguni un šos ļaudis par malku, un tas tos aprīs.
15 Behold me! bringing upon you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, —A nation invincible, it is, A nation from age-past times, hath it been, A nation whose tongue thou shalt not know, Neither shalt thou understand what it speaketh:
Redzi, Es atvedīšu pār jums tautu no tālienes, Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs. Tā ir stipra tauta, veca tauta, tauta, kam valodu tu nesaproti, un nesajēdzi, ko tā runā.
16 Its quiver, is like an open sepulchre, —They all, are heroes:
Viņas bultu maks ir kā atvērts kaps, tie visi ir varoņi.
17 Then shall it eat thy harvest and thy bread which thy sons and thy daughters should eat, —It shall eat thy flock and thy herd, It shall eat thy vine and thy fig-tree, —It shall destroy thy defenced cities wherein thou, art trusting, with the sword.
Un tā ēdīs tavu pļāvumu un tavu maizi, tā ēdīs tavus dēlus un tavas meitas, tā ēdīs tavas avis un tavus vēršus, tā ēdīs tavu vīna koku un tavu vīģes koku; tavas stiprās pilsētas, uz ko tu paļaujies, tā izpostīs ar zobenu.
18 Yet, even in those days, Declareth Yahweh, Will I not make of you, a full end.
Tomēr ir tanīs dienās Es jums pavisam negribu galu darīt, saka Tas Kungs.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, For what cause hath Yahweh our God done to us all these things? Then shalt thou say unto them, —As ye forsook me, and served the gods of the foreigner in your own land, So, shall ye serve aliens in a land not your own.
Un kad jūs sacīsiet: kādēļ Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums visas šās lietas ir darījis? Tad tev uz viņiem būs sacīt: tā kā jūs Mani esat atstājuši un kalpojuši svešiem dieviem savā zemē, tāpat jūs kalposiet svešiem zemē, kas jums nepieder.
20 Tell ye this, throughout the house of Jacob, —And let it be heard throughout Judah saying:
Sludinājiet to Jēkaba namā, liekat to dzirdēt iekš Jūda un sakāt:
21 Hear this, I pray you ye people—foolish and without heart, —Eyes, have they, and see not, Ears, have they, and hear not!
Klausiet jel to, ģeķīgie un neprātīgie ļaudis, kam acis ir, un neredz, kam ausis ir, un nedzird.
22 Even for me, will ye have no reverence? Enquireth Yahweh, And because of me, will ye not be pained? In that though I placed the sand as a bound to the sea, A decree age-abiding, and it should not pass beyond it, —When they would toss themselves Then should they not prevail, When the waves thereof would roar Then should they not pass beyond it,
Vai jūs Mani negribat bīties? Saka Tas Kungs, vai Manā priekšā negribat drebēt? Es smiltis lieku jūrai par ežu, par mūžīgu robežu, ka par to nebūs iet pāri; jebšu viņas viļņi kust, tad tie tomēr nekā neiespēj, jebšu tie gan kauc, tad tie tomēr pār to neiet pāri.
23 Yet, this people hath an obstinate and rebellious heart, —They have turned aside, and gone their way;
Bet šiem ļaudīm ir bezdievīga un stūrgalvīga sirds, tie atkāpjas un aiziet,
24 Neither have they said in their heart, —Let us we pray you, revere Yahweh our God, Who giveth rain, even the early and the latter, in its season, —The appointed weeks of harvest, he reserveth for us.
Un nesaka savā sirdī: lai jel bīstamies To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas mums dod lietu agri un vēlu - savā laikā, kas mums pasargā pļaujamā laika noliktās nedēļas.
25 Your iniquities, have thrust away these things, Yea, your sins, have withholden that which is good from you.
Jūsu noziegumi to aizkavē, un jūsu grēki to labumu jums aiztur.
26 For there have been found among my people lawless men, —One lieth in wait, as with the stooping of fowlers, They have set a trap, they capture men:
Jo starp Maniem ļaudīm atrodas bezdievīgi; tie glūn, kā mednieki mēdz, tie liek valgus un gūsta cilvēkus.
27 As, a cage, is full of birds, So, are, their houses, full of unrighteous gain, —For this cause, have they become great and waxen rich:
Kā putnu sprosts ir pilns putnu, tā viņu nams ir pilns viltības, tādēļ tie ir palikuši lieli un bagāti.
28 They have waxed fat, they shine Yea they have overpassed the records of wickedness. The right, have they not determined, the right of the fatherless that they might prosper, —Yea justice to the helpless, have they not decreed.
Tie ir tauki, tie ir gludeni, no tiem plūst ļaunums, tie neiztiesā tiesu nedz bāriņa lietas, ka šiem būtu labi, un nabagiem tie tiesu neizdod.
29 Upon these things, shall I not bring punishment? Demandeth Yahweh. Or, on a nation such as this, shall not my soul avenge herself?
Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt? saka Tas Kungs. Vai Manai dvēselei nebūs atriebties pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
30 An astounding and horrible thing, hath been brought to pass in the land:
Briesmīgas un negantas lietas notiek šai zemē.
31 The prophets, have prophesied, falsely, And the priests tread down by their means, And, my people, love it, so, —What then can ye do as to her latter end?
Pravieši māca viltīgi, un priesteri valda pēc sava padoma, un Maniem ļaudīm tas tā patīk. Bet ko tad jūs pēcgalā darīsiet?
