Jeremiah 37
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija, Josijas dēls, valdīja Jekanijas, Jojaķima dēla, vietā; to Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija iecēlis par ķēniņu Jūda zemē.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Bet ne viņš, ne viņa kalpi, ne tie ļaudis tai zemē neklausīja Tā Kunga vārdiem, ko viņš bija runājis caur pravieti Jeremiju.
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to the LORD our God for us.”
Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sūtīja Juhalu, Šelemijas dēlu, un priesteri Cefaniju, Mazejas dēlu, pie pravieša Jeremijas un lika sacīt: lūdz jel par mums To Kungu, mūsu Dievu.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out amongst the people, for they had not put him into prison.
Jo Jeremija gāja vēl iekšā un ārā starp tiem ļaudīm un vēl nebija cietumā ielikts.
5 Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
Un Faraona karaspēks bija cēlies no Ēģiptes zemes, un tie Kaldeji, kas ap Jeruzālemi bija apmetušies, to baumi par tiem dzirdējuši, no Jeruzālemes bija aizgājuši.
6 Then the LORD’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Jeremiju sacīdams:
7 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to enquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: tā jums būs atsacīt Jūda ķēniņam, kas jūs pie Manis sūtījis, Mani vaicāt: redzi, Faraona karaspēks, kas jums izgājis palīgā, griezīsies atpakaļ uz savu zemi, uz Ēģipti.
8 The Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’
Un Kaldeji nāks atpakaļ un karos pret šo pilsētu un to uzņems un to sadedzinās ar uguni.
9 “The LORD says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: nepieviļat savas dvēseles, sacīdami: Kaldeji tiešām no mums aizies projām, - jo tie neaizies.
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and only wounded men remained amongst them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
Jo jebšu jūs kautu visu Kaldeju spēku, kas pret jums karo, un atliktos no tiem (tikai) kādi ievainoti vīri, tad tie celsies ikkatrs savā teltī un sadedzinās šo pilsētu ar uguni.
11 When the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Un notikās, kad Kaldeju spēks no Jeruzālemes bija aizgājis priekš Faraona karaspēka,
12 then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people.
Tad Jeremija izgāja no Jeruzālemes, iet uz Benjamina zemi un tur uzņemt savu daļu to ļaužu vidū.
13 When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
Un kad viņš nāca Benjamina vārtos, tad tur bija tas sargu virsnieks, Jerija vārdā, Šelemijas dēls, Kananijas dēla dēls, tas sagrāba pravieti Jeremiju un sacīja: tu gribi pāriet pie Kaldejiem.
14 Then Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans.” But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Un Jeremija sacīja: tas nav tiesa, es nepāriešu pie Kaldejiem. Bet Jerija viņu neklausīja un sagrāba Jeremiju un to noveda pie tiem lielkungiem.
15 The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Un tie lielkungi apskaitās par Jeremiju un viņu sita un lika cietumā, rakstītāja Jonatana namā, jo to tie bija darījuši par cietuma namu.
16 When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
Tā Jeremija gāja cietumā tais pagrabos, un tur Jeremija sēdēja daudz dienas.
17 then Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the LORD?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija sūtīja un lika viņu atvest, un ķēniņš viņu vaicāja paslepeni savā namā un sacīja: vai ir kāds vārds no Tā Kunga? Un Jeremija sacīja: ir. Un viņš sacīja: tu Bābeles ķēniņam tapsi dots rokā.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Un Jeremija sacīja uz ķēniņu Cedeķiju: ko es esmu grēkojis pret tevi un pret taviem kalpiem un pret šiem ļaudīm, ka jūs mani esat likuši cietumā?
19 Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?
Kur nu ir jūsu pravieši, kas jums sludināja un sacīja: Bābeles ķēniņš nenāks pret jums nedz pret šo zemi?
20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
Tad nu, klausi jel, ak kungs un ķēniņ! Lai jel mana lūgšana tavā priekšā ir pieņēmīga, un neved mani atpakaļ rakstītāja Jonatana namā, ka es tur nemirstu.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija pavēlēja, lai Jeremiju tura cietuma pagalmā, un viņam ikdienas tapa dots viens maizes rieciens no cepēju ielas, tiekams visa maize pilsētā bija apēsta. Tā Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā.
