Jeremiah 29
1 After King Jehoiachin, his mother, his palace officials, other officials in Judah, and all the various kinds of craftsmen [DOU] had been exiled to Babylon, I wrote a letter to the elders, the priests, the prophets and all the other people who had been taken from Jerusalem to Babylon by [soldiers of] Nebuchadnezzar.
Un šie ir tās grāmatas vārdi, ko pravietis Jeremija sūtīja no Jeruzālemes tiem atlikušiem vecajiem, kas bija aizvesti, un tiem priesteriem un tiem praviešiem un visiem ļaudīm, ko Nebukadnecars no Jeruzālemes bija aizvedis uz Bābeli,
Kad ķēniņš Jekanija un ķēniņiene un ķēniņa sulaiņi un Jūda un Jeruzālemes lielkungi līdz ar tiem amatniekiem un kalējiem no Jeruzālemes bija projām, -
3 [I gave] the letter to Elasah the son of Shaphan, and to Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, when they were about to go to Babylon to be ambassadors from King Zedekiah to King Nebuchadnezzar. This is what I wrote in the letter:
Caur Eleazu, Safana dēlu, un Gemariju, Hilķijas dēlu, ko Cedeķija, Jūda ķēniņš, uz Bābeli sūtīja pie Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa:
4 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says to all you people who were captured [here] in Jerusalem and taken [there] to Babylon:
Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, uz visiem aizvestiem, kas no Jeruzālemes aizvesti uz Bābeli:
5 “Build houses [there], and plan to stay there [because you will be there for many years]. Plant gardens, and eat the food that is produced in the gardens.
Uztaisiet namus un dzīvojiet iekš tiem un dēstiet dārzus un ēdiet no viņu augļiem.
6 Get married and have children. Then [when they grow up], choose wives for your sons, and husbands for your daughters, in order that they [also] may have children. [In that way], the number of you people will increase, not decrease.
Ņemiet sievas un dzemdinājiet dēlus un meitas un vediet saviem dēliem sievas un dodiet savas meitas vīriem, lai tās dzemdē dēlus un meitas, un vairojaties tur un neejat mazumā,
7 Also, do things that will cause things to go well [for the other people there] in the city where I sent you. Pray that things will go well for [the people in] that city, because if things go well for them, things will go well for you, [also].”
Un meklējiet tās pilsētas labklāšanos, kurp Es jūs esmu licis aizvest, un pielūdziet To Kungu viņas dēļ, jo kad viņai labi klāsies, tad arī jums labi klāsies.
8 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship], says: “There are [false] prophets and fortune-tellers among you. Do not allow them to deceive you. Do not pay attention to [them when they tell you] their dreams,
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: lai jūsu pravieši un jūsu zīlnieki, kas jūsu vidū, jūs nepieviļ, un neklausiet saviem sapņiem, ko jūs sapņojat.
9 because they are telling you lies, saying that [MTY] [I have given them the messages that they are telling you]. But, I have not appointed them.”
Jo tie jums sludina melus Manā Vārdā; Es tos neesmu sūtījis, saka Tas Kungs.
10 This is [also] what Yahweh says: “After you [and your children] have been in Babylon for seventy years, I will help you, and do for you the things that I promised, and I will enable you to return here [to Jerusalem].
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: tiešām, kad septiņdesmit gadi Bābelē būs pagalam, tad Es jūs piemeklēšu un jums likšu notikt pēc Sava žēlīgā vārda un jūs atvedīšu atpakaļ uz šo vietu.
11 I, Yahweh, know what I have planned for you. I am planning to cause things to go well for you, not to cause you to experience disasters. I am planning to give you many things that you confidently expect to receive in the future.
Jo Es zinu, kādas domas Es par jums domāju, saka Tas Kungs: miera domas un ne ļaunas domas, ka Es jums dodu to cerēto galu.
12 At that time, when you pray, I will heed you.
Tad jūs Mani piesauksiet un iesiet un Mani pielūgsiet, un Es jūs paklausīšu.
13 If you earnestly desire for me [to bless you], you will experience me [blessing you].
Un jūs meklēsiet un Mani atradīsiet, kad jūs pēc Manis vaicāsiet no visas savas sirds.
14 I will make my help available to you [IDM]. I will cause you to no longer be slaves [in Babylon]. I will gather you from all the nations to which I have exiled you, and I will bring you back [here to your own land], to the place from which you were taken.”
Un Es no jums likšos atrasties, saka Tas Kungs, un atgriezīšu (atpakaļ no) jūsu cietuma un jūs sapulcināšu no visām tautām un no visām vietām, kurp Es jūs esmu aizdzinis, saka Tas Kungs, un jūs vedīšu atkal uz to vietu, no kurienes Es jūs esmu licis aizvest.
15 [Some of] you say that Yahweh has appointed prophets for you [there] in Babylon.
Kad jūs sakāt: Tas Kungs mums Bābelē praviešus cēlis -
16 But this is what Yahweh says about the king who rules [here] in Jerusalem, and about all the other people who are [still] living here—your relatives who were not taken to Babylon with you.
Tiešām, tā saka Tas Kungs, par to ķēniņu, kas sēž uz Dāvida goda krēsla, un par visiem ļaudīm, kas šai pilsētā dzīvo, par jūsu brāļiem, kas ar jums nav gājuši cietumā,
17 The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “I will cause them to experience wars and famines and diseases. I will cause them to become like [SIM] bad figs that are very rotten, with the result that no one can eat them.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: redzi, Es sūtīšu starp viņiem zobenu, badu un mēri, un darīšu tos kā nelāga vīģes, ko nevar ēst aiz nelāguma.
18 I will not stop causing them to experience wars and famines and diseases. And I will scatter them all around the world. In every country where I (force them to be taken/exile them), I will cause them to be people whom [others] curse and be horrified about and make fun of [DOU].
Un Es tiem dzīšos pakaļ ar zobenu, ar badu un ar mēri, un tos nodošu uz vārdzināšanu visās zemes valstīs, par lāstu, par biedēkli un par apsmieklu un par negodu starp visām tautām, kurp Es tos aizdzīšu:
19 [That will happen] because they have refused to pay attention to my messages, messages that I gave to the prophets whom I sent to them. And you [who have been exiled to Babylon] have not paid attention to them, [either].” [That is what] Yahweh says.
Par to, ka tie Maniem vārdiem nav klausījuši, saka Tas Kungs, kad Es Savus kalpus, tos praviešus, pie tiem tikuši(neatlaidīgi) sūtīju vienā sūtīšanā; bet jūs neesat klausījuši, saka Tas Kungs.
20 [Therefore], you people who have been (exiled/forced to go) from Jerusalem to Babylon, listen to this message from Yahweh.
Tad klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, jūs visi, kas esat aizvesti, ko Es no Jeruzālemes uz Bābeli esmu nosūtījis.
21 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says about Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and about Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are telling lies to you, saying that they are giving messages [MTY] from him: “They will be seized and taken to [MTY] King Nebuchadnezzar, who will cause them to be executed while you are watching.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, pret Ahabu, Kolajas dēlu, un pret Cedeķiju, Mazejas dēlu, kas jums melus sludina Manā Vārdā! Redzi, Es tos nodošu Nebukadnecaram, Bābeles ķēniņam, rokā, tas tos sitīs priekš jūsu acīm;
22 Because of [what will happen to] them, all you people who have been taken from Judah to Babylon will say this when they curse someone: ‘I hope/wish that Yahweh will do to you the same thing that he did to Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the King of Babylon caused to be [killed by being] burned in a fire.’
Un no tiem celsies lāstu vārdi pie visiem no Jūda aizvestiem, kas ir Bābelē, un sacīs: lai Tas Kungs tev dara kā Cedeķijam un kā Ahabam, ko Bābeles ķēniņš pie uguns cepis,
23 They have done terrible things to [my] Israeli people. They have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and they have spoken lies, saying that they were messages [MTY] from me. They have said things that I did not tell them to say, and I, Yahweh, have heard them [say those things].”
Tādēļ ka tie ģeķību darījuši iekš Israēla un laulību pārkāpuši ar savu tuvāko sievām un runājuši melu vārdus Manā Vārdā, ko Es tiem nebiju pavēlējis, un Es esmu Tas, kas to zin un apliecina, saka Tas Kungs.
24 [Yahweh told me to] send this message to Shemaiah, a man from Nehelam [town who was living in Babylon]:
Un pret Nekalamieti Šemaju runā un saki:
25 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: “You wrote a letter that no one told you to write. You sent it to Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, and [you sent copies] to the other priests and all the [other] people here in Jerusalem. [This is what] you wrote to him:
Tā runā Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, un saka: tādēļ, ka tu grāmatas sūtījis savā vārdā visiem ļaudīm Jeruzālemē un priesterim Cefanijam, Mazejas dēlam, un visiem priesteriem ar tiem vārdiem:
26 [Zephaniah], Yahweh has appointed you to be the priest instead of Jehoiada, to supervise those who work in the temple. Anyone who acts like a crazy man and who claims that he is a prophet, you should put his arms and legs and head into (stocks/a wooden frame [so that he cannot move)].
Tas Kungs tevi licis par priesteri priestera Jojadas vietā, ka jums būs uzraugiem būt Tā Kunga namā pār ikkatru vīru, kas trako un sevi par pravieti turas, ka tev tos būs likt cietumā un siekstā;
27 So why have you not done anything to stop Jeremiah, the man from Anathoth [town], who [pretends that he] is a prophet among you?
Nu tad, kāpēc tu Jeremiju no Anatotas neesi aprājis, kas jūsu starpā turas par pravieti?
28 He sent a letter to us [who are here] in Babylon, saying that [we will be here for] a long time. He said that [therefore] we should build houses and plan to stay here, and plant gardens, and eat the food that is produced in the gardens.”
Tāpēc ka viņš pie mums uz Bābeli sūtījis un sacījis: būs ilgi, uztaisiet namus un dzīvojiet un dēstiet dārzus un ēdiet viņu augļus.
29 [But when] Zephaniah the priest [received] the letter from you, he [brought it to me and] read it to me.
Un priesteris Cefanija lasīja šo grāmatu priekš pravieša Jeremijas ausīm.
30 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Tad Tā Kunga vārds tā notika uz Jeremiju:
31 “Send this message to all the people [from Judah] who are there [in Babylon]. Say that this is what Yahweh says about Shemaiah, the man from Nehelam: ‘I did not appoint him, but he has deceived you and caused you to believe the lies that he prophesied.
Sūti jel pie visiem aizvestiem un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs pret Nekalamieti Šemaju: tādēļ ka Šemaja jums ir sludinājis, un Es to neesmu sūtījis, un ir darījis, ka jūs paļaujaties uz meliem,
32 So, I will punish him and his family. He has incited you to rebel against me. Because of that, all of his descendants will soon die. I will do [many] good things for [you], my people, but he and his descendants will not see those things, [because they will be dead]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!’”
Tādēļ Tas Kungs tā saka: redzi, Es piemeklēšu Nekalamieti Šemaju un viņa dzimumu; viņam neviena nebūs, kas šo ļaužu vidū dzīvos un redzēs to labumu, ko Es Saviem ļaudīm darīšu, saka Tas Kungs, jo viņš ir mācījis atkāpties no Tā Kunga.
