Jeremiah 21
1 Yahweh gave me another message when King Zedekiah [of Judah] sent [a man who was also named] Pashhur, the son of Malkijah, and a priest named Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, [to talk to me. They pleaded with me], saying,
Šis ir tas vārds, kas notika uz Jeremiju no Tā Kunga, kad ķēniņš Cedeķija pie viņa sūtīja Pašhuru, Malhijas dēlu, un priesteri Cefaniju, Maāsejas dēlu, un sacīja:
2 “[The army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is attacking Judah. Please speak to Yahweh for us. [Ask him if he will help us]. Perhaps he will force Nebuchadnezzar’s [army] to leave by performing a miracle for us, like the miracles he performed [previously].”
Vaicā jel To Kungu par mums; jo Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, pret mums karo. Varbūt ka Tas Kungs ar mums darīs pēc saviem brīnumiem, ka šis no mums atstātos.
3 I replied to them, “[Go back to King] Zedekiah. Tell him,
Tad Jeremija uz tiem sacīja: sakāt tā Cedeķijam:
4 ‘This is what Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: “I will cause your weapons to be useless in fighting against the king of Babylon and his army that is outside the walls of Jerusalem, attacking. I will enable them to enter into the center of this city.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Israēla Dievs: redzi, Es griezīšu atpakaļ tos kara ieročus, kas ir jūsu rokās, ar ko jūs karojat pret Bābeles ķēniņu un pret Kaldejiem, kas pret jums ārpus mūriem apmetušies, un tos sapulcināšu šīs pilsētas vidū.
5 I myself will fight against your [army] with my very great power, [MTY, DOU] because I am very angry with you.
Un Es pats pret jums karošu ar izstieptu roku un ar stipru elkoni un ar bardzību un ar karstumu un lielām dusmām.
6 I will send a very (terrible plague/big sickness) on the people of this city, and on their domestic animals, and [many of] them will die.”
Un Es kaušu šās pilsētas iedzīvotājus, gan cilvēkus, gan lopus; caur lielu mēri tiem būs mirt.
7 And Yahweh says there are many people in this city who want to kill you. So, he will enable [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and other people in this city to capture [you], King Zedekiah, and your officials, and [all the other] people who do not die from the plague. His army will slaughter your soldiers; they will not act mercifully toward you(pl) or pity you at all. [DOU]’
Un pēc tam, saka Tas Kungs, Es nodošu Cedeķiju, Jūda ķēniņu, un viņa kalpus un tos ļaudis, kas šai pilsētā atlikuši no mēra, no zobena un no bada, Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, rokā un viņu ienaidnieku rokā un to rokā, kas viņu dzīvību meklē. Un viņš tos sitīs ar zobena asmeni, viņš tos nesaudzēs, netaupīs, nežēlos.
8 And tell this to [all] the people: ‘Yahweh says that you must decide whether you want to die or to remain alive.
Un uz šiem ļaudīm tev būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es jums lieku priekšā dzīvības ceļu un nāves ceļu.
9 Everyone who remains in Jerusalem will die. They will be killed in battles or die from being hungry or from diseases. But those who surrender to the army of Babylon that is surrounding your city will remain alive. They will escape dying.
Kas šai pilsētā paliek, tie mirs caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri. Bet kas iziet un dodas pie tiem Kaldejiem, kas pret jums ir apmetušies, tas dzīvos un mantos savu dvēseli.
10 [That will happen] because I, Yahweh, have decided to cause this city to experience disasters, not to experience something good. The army of the king of Babylon will capture this city and will destroy it [completely] by fire.’”
Jo Es Savu vaigu esmu griezis pret šo pilsētu par ļaunu un ne par labu, saka Tas Kungs; tā Bābeles ķēniņam taps rokā dota un viņš to sadedzinās ar uguni.
11 [Yahweh also told me to] say this to the family of the king of Judah: “Listen to this message from Yahweh!
Un par Jūda ķēniņa namu klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu:
12 This is what he says to you descendants of King David: ‘Every day, make fair decisions for the people whom you judge. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue/Save them from those [SYN] who (oppress them/treat them cruelly). If you do not do that, I will be angry and punish [MTY] you with a fire that will be impossible to extinguish, because of [all] the sins that you have committed.
Ak Dāvida nams, tā saka Tas Kungs, nesiet ik rītu tiesu un izglābiet aplaupīto no spaidītāja rokas, ka Mana dusmība neizšaujās kā uguns un nedeg, ka neviens nevar dzēst, jūsu darbu ļaunuma dēļ.
13 I will fight against you people [of Jerusalem], you who live on top of a rocky hill above the valley. [I will fight against] you people who boast, saying, “No one can attack us and break through [our defenses].”
Redzi, Es celšos pret tevi, kas dzīvo ielejā, tu klajuma klints, saka Tas Kungs, pret jums, kas teiciet: kas mums varētu uzbrukt vai nākt mūsu māju vietās?
14 I will punish you for your wicked deeds like you deserve to be punished; [It will be as though] I will light a fire in your forests that will burn up everything around you!’”
Es jūs piemeklēšu pēc jūsu darbu augļiem, saka Tas Kungs, un Es iededzināšu viņas mežā uguni, tas aprīs visu viņas apkārtni.
