Jeremiah 12
1 You are righteous, LORD, when I contend with you; yet I would like to plead a case with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?
Tu, ak Kungs, palieci taisns, kad es ar Tevi gribētu tiesāties; tomēr par tiesu ar Tevi gribu runāt. Kāpēc bezdievīgiem ceļš labi izdodas, un visiem, kas dara viltu, labi klājās?
2 You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root. They grow. Yes, they produce fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
Tu tos esi dēstījis, un tie ir iesakņojušies un aug un nes augļus; Tu gan esi tuvu viņu mutei, bet tālu no viņu sirdīm.
3 But you, LORD, know me. You see me, and test my heart towards you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Bet mani, ak Kungs, Tu pazīsti, mani Tu redzi un pārbaudi manu sirdi, kāda tā ir tavā priekšā. Aizrauj viņus kā avis uz kaušanu un nolieci tos uz nokaušanas dienu!
4 How long will the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? Because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals and birds are consumed; because they said, “He won’t see our latter end.”
Cik ilgi tad zeme lai bēdājās un zāle visur laukā lai savīst? Iedzīvotāju blēdības dēļ lopi un putni iet bojā. Jo tie saka: viņš neredz, kā mums pēcgalā klāsies!
5 “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? Though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
Kad tu skrēji ar kājniekiem un tie tevi nokausēja, kā tad tu varētu skrieties ar zirgiem? Un ja tu jūties drošs miera zemē, ko tad tu darīsi Jardānes varenos biezumos?
6 For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you! Even they have cried aloud after you! Don’t believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
Jo, pat tavi brāļi un tavs tēva nams ir neuzticīgi pret tevi un sauc pilnā balsī tev pakaļ. Neuzticies tiem, kad tie laipnīgi ar tevi runā.
7 “I have forsaken my house. I have cast off my heritage. I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Es Savu namu esmu atstājis un atmetis Savu mantas tiesu un to, ko Mana dvēsele mīļo, nodevis viņa ienaidniekiem rokā.
8 My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. She has uttered her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.
Mana mantība Man ir palikusi kā lauva mežā; tā savu balsi pret Mani pacēlusi, tādēļ Es to esmu ienīdējis.
9 Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field. Bring them to devour.
Mana mantība Man ir kā raibs putns, kam putni uzkrīt no visām pusēm. Nāciet, sapulcinājaties, visi zvēri laukā, nāciet un ēdiet.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard. They have trodden my portion under foot. They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Daudz gani maitājuši Manu vīna dārzu, tie ir saminuši Manu tīrumu, Manu jauko tīrumu tie darījuši par tukšu postažu.
11 They have made it a desolation. It mourns to me, being desolate. The whole land is made desolate, because no one cares.
Tas ir postā, izpostīts tas bēdājās Manā priekšā; visa zeme ir postīta, jo neviena nav, kam sirds to ņem vērā.
12 Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of the LORD devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land. No flesh has peace.
Pa visiem tuksneša kalniem postītāji nākuši, jo Tā Kunga zobens rij no viena zemes gala līdz otram, un miera nav nevienai miesai.
13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns. They have exhausted themselves, and profit nothing. You will be ashamed of your fruits, because of the LORD’s fierce anger.”
Tie sēj kviešus, bet ērkšķus tie pļauj, tie gan grūti strādā, bet nepelna nekā. Tā tad topat kaunā ar saviem augļiem caur Tā Kunga karsto bardzību.
14 The LORD says, “Concerning all my evil neighbours, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from amongst them.
Tā saka Tas Kungs par visiem maniem nikniem kaimiņiem, kas aizskar to mantību, ko Es esmu devis mantot Saviem Israēla ļaudīm: Es tos izraušu no viņu zemes un Jūda namu Es izraušu no viņu vidus.
15 It will happen that after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them. I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Un notiks, kad Es tos būšu izrāvis, tad Es atkal par tiem apžēlošos, Es tos vedīšu atpakaļ, ikkatru savā daļā un ikkatru savā zemē.
16 It will happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘As the LORD lives;’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be built up in the middle of my people.
Un ja tie Manu ļaužu ceļu tikuši(rūpīgi) mācīsies un zvērēs pie Mana Vārda: „Tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo!“Tā kā tie Manus ļaudis ir mācījuši pie Baāla zvērēt, - tad tie taps uzņemti Manu ļaužu vidū.
17 But if they will not hear, then I will pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it,” says the LORD.
Bet ja tie neklausīs, tad Es šo tautu izraušu un to pavisam izdeldēšu, saka Tas Kungs.
