Jeremiah 2
1 Yahweh gave me another message
Un Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja:
2 [to proclaim to everyone in Jerusalem. He said that I should tell them this] [MET]: “I, Yahweh, remember that you very much wanted to please me [long ago]. [You tried to please me like] a bride [tries to please her husband]; You loved me, and you followed me through the desert [DOU].
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 [At that time you] Israelis (were set apart/belonged only) to me; [you belonged to me like] the first part of the harvests belong to me [MET]. I promised to punish all those who harmed you, my people, and truly I did send disasters on them. [That happened because I], Yahweh, said [that it would happen].”
Israēls bija Tam Kungam svētīts un viņa augļu pirmaji; visi, kas to ēda, tie tapa noziedzīgi, ļaunums nāca pār tiem, saka Tas Kungs.
4 So, you [descendants of] [MTY] Jacob, all you people of [MTY] Israel,
Klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, Jēkaba nams, visas Israēla nama ciltis.
5 listen to what Yahweh says: “(What sin did I commit [RHQ] that caused your ancestors to turn far away from me?/Though your ancestors found no fault in me, they turned far away from me.) They worshiped worthless idols, and they themselves became worthless.
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 They did not say, ‘Yahweh brought us [safely] out of Egypt, and he led us through a desert where there were a lot of pits; he led us where there was no water and where it was very dangerous, through a land where no one lives, and no one even travels. (So where is Yahweh now?/So he should be helping us now!) [RHQ]’
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 And when I brought you into a very fertile land, in order that you could enjoy [all] the fruit and [other] good things that you would harvest, you caused the land that I promised to give to you to be unfit for me and to become disgusting/detestable to me.
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 [Your] priests also did not say, ‘(Where is Yahweh now?/Yahweh should be helping us now!)’ [RHQ] Those who teach/explain my laws do not [want to] know me, and [your] leaders have rebelled against me. [Your] prophets gave you messages from [their god] Baal, and they worship worthless idols.”
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 “So, I will accuse you in court. [In future years], I will say what your children and your grandchildren have done that is wrong. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].
Tāpēc Es vēl ar jums tiesāšos, saka Tas Kungs, un ar jūsu bērnu bērniem Es tiesāšos.
10 If you go [west] to the island of Cyprus, or if you go [east] to Kedar [land, ] and if you ask people in those places, they will tell you that no people [from their countries] have ever done the wicked things that you people have done!
Jo ceļaties pāri uz Ķitiju salām un lūkojiet un sūtiet uz Ķedaru un ņemiet labi vērā un raugiet, vai tur tā noticis.
11 The people of no other nation have ever [RHQ] abandoned their gods that they thought were glorious and started to worship gods that are not really gods, but you people have abandoned me, your glorious God, and are worshiping gods that are useless.
Vai kādi pagāni dievus pārmijuši, jebšu tie nav dievi? Bet Mani ļaudis savu godību pārmijuši ar to, kas nekā neder.
12 [It is as though everything in] the sky is surprised and dismayed/appalled [about what you have done]; [it is as though] they tremble because they are very horrified.
Iztrūcinājaties par to, debesis, un trīciet un drebiet ļoti, saka Tas Kungs.
13 [You], my people, have done two evil things: You have rejected me, the one who is [like] [MET] a fountain [where you can obtain] fresh water, and you [are worshiping gods that are like] [MET] pits in the ground that are cracked and which are not able to hold any water.
Jo Mani ļaudis dara divkārtīgu ļaunumu: tie Mani atstāj, to dzīvo ūdens avotu, un izcērt sev akas, cauras akas, kas ūdeni netur.
14 You Israeli people, you were certainly not [RHQ] slaves when you were born; you were captured [by your enemies].
Vai Israēls ir kalps jeb dzimts vergs? Kāpēc tad viņš ir palicis par laupījumu?
15 [Your enemies] [MET] roared [like] lions, and they destroyed your land. [Now] your towns have been burned, and no one lives in them.
Jaunie lauvas rūc pret viņu, tie paceļ savas balsis un posta viņa zemi; viņa pilsētas ir sadedzinātas, ka neviens tur nedzīvo.
16 Soldiers from Memphis and Tahpenes, [cities in Egypt], have [defeated you] [and] shaved your heads [to show that you are their slaves].
Arī Nofas un Takvanesas bērni tev nogana galvu.
17 But it is [RHQ] because you abandoned [me], Yahweh, that these disasters have happened to you.
Vai tu pats sev to nedari, ka tu To Kungu, savu Dievu atstāji tanī laikā, kad Viņš tevi veda uz ceļu?
18 So (why are you trying to make an alliance with [MET] the rulers of Egypt?/it certainly will not help you to make an alliance with the rulers of Egypt) [RHQ]. Why are you trying to make an alliance with [MET] the rulers of Assyria who live near the [Euphrates] River?
Un nu, ko tev iet Ēģiptes ceļu, dzert Šihora ūdeni? Un ko tev iet Asura ceļu, dzert lielās upes ūdeni?
19 [It is because] you have been [very] wicked that I [PRS] will punish you. It is because you have turned away from me that I [PRS] will condemn you. [When I do that], you will realize that painful and evil [DOU] things will happen to you because you have forsaken [me], Yahweh, your God, and you no [longer] revere me. [That will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, have said it.
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 Long ago, you stopped obeying [me] [MET], and you would not allow [me] to lead you [MET]; you refused to worship [me]. Instead, you worship idols that are under trees on the top of every hill, and your young women have sex with [EUP] [men at those places].
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 [It is as though] [MET] you were a grapevine that I planted when it was a cutting from a very good vine. So now it is disgusting that [RHQ] you have become [like] a rotten worthless vine.
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 Your guilt from your sins is like [MET] very bad stains on a cloth, and you cannot get rid of those stains even by using very strong soap. [This is true because I], Yahweh, have said it.
Jo jebšu tu mazgātos ar sārmu un ņemtu daudz ziepes klāt, tomēr tavs noziegums paliek iezīmēts manā priekšā, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
23 You say that you have not sinned. You say ‘We have not become unacceptable to God; we have not worshiped Baal.’ But think about [the disgusting things that you do very eagerly] in [Hinnom] Valley [outside Jerusalem]. You are like desperate female camels, running here and there [to find male camels to have sex with].
Kā tu vari sacīt, es neesmu sagānījusies, es Baāliem neesmu dzinusies pakaļ? Redzi savu ceļu tai ielejā, ņem vērā, ko tu esi darījusi,
24 You are [like] wild female donkeys in the desert. They sniff the air to find where the male donkeys are, and no one can [RHQ] restrain them. The male donkeys that want them do not become tired searching for them, because at mating time they find them [easily].
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 You constantly run here and there [to find idols to worship], with the result that your sandals are worn out, and your throats have become dry. [I told you to stop doing that], but you said, ‘We cannot stop, because we love foreign gods, and we must worship 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 [Yahweh says this]: “A robber is disgraced when he is caught. And all of you, including your kings and priests and prophets, are similarly disgraced.
Tā kā zaglis kaunas, kad to pienāk, tā Israēla nams taps kaunā, paši, viņu ķēniņi, viņu lielkungi un viņu priesteri un viņu pravieši,
27 You say to [a piece of] wood [that is carved to become a sacred idol], ‘You are our father!’ And you say to a stone [that you have set up], ‘You are our mother!’ You have rejected [IDM] me, but when you experience troubles, you cry out to me to rescue you.
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 Why do you not [RHQ] cry out to the gods that you made? You have as many gods as you have cities [and towns] in Judah. So why do you not plead with them to rescue you when you experience disasters?
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 You complain that it was wrong for me [not to have rescued you], but you have all rebelled against me.
Kāpēc jūs strīdaties pret Mani? Jūs visi no Manis esat atkāpušies, saka Tas Kungs.
30 I punished some of you, but you did not learn anything from my doing that. You have killed many of the prophets that I [sent to you], like [SIM] fierce lions kill [other animals].
Jūsu bērnus Es esmu velti sitis, tie to pārmācību nav pieņēmuši. Jūsu zobens ir aprijis jūsu praviešus, kā plēsīgs lauva.
31 You people of Israel, pay attention to what I say. I have certainly [RHQ] never [abandoned you] in a desert; I have never [left you] in a land full of darkness. So, why do you, my people, say ‘We are free from God’s control; we will not return to [worship] God any more’?
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 A young woman would certainly never [RHQ] forget [to wear] her jewelry, and a bride would never [RHQ] forget to wear her wedding dress, but you my people have forgotten me for many years.
Vai jaunava aizmirst savu rotu, vai brūte savu greznumu? Bet Mani ļaudis Mani ir aizmirsuši jau neskaitāmas dienas.
33 You know how to easily find [gods from other countries] whom you can love. You can find them as easily as a prostitute [can find men to sleep with].
Cik brangi tavi ceļi, meklēt mīlestību! Tāpēc tu arī radini savus ceļus uz blēdībām.
34 Although you have on your clothes the blood of poor people whom you have murdered, people who (were innocent/had not done things that are wrong),
Pat pie tavu drēbju vīlēm atrodas nabagu nenoziedzīgu dvēseļu asinis, ko tu nepienāci kā ielauzušos. Bet par to visu (Es ar tevi tiesāšos).
35 you say ‘We have not done anything that is wrong; so surely [Yahweh] is not angry with us.’ But I will punish [MTY] you [severely] for saying ‘We 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 Previously you requested [the army of] Assyria to help you, but they were not able to help you. Now you have requested [the army of] Egypt to help you, but they will not be able to help you, either.
Kam tu tik ļoti steidzies pārgrozīt savu ceļu? Pie Ēģiptes tu tāpat paliksi kaunā, ka tu kaunā palikusi pie Asura.
37 They will capture you, and you will be [their prisoners] [MTY], led to Egypt, [very ashamed] with your hands on your heads. That will happen because I, Yahweh, have rejected those [nations] that you are relying on, and they will not be able to help you at all.”
Arī no turienes tu iziesi, rokas pār galvu sasizdama. Jo Tas Kungs ir atmetis, uz ko paļaujies, un tev ar viņiem labi neizdosies.
