Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Ak kaut manā galvā jel būtu ūdens un manas acis taptu par asaru avotiem, tad es dienām naktīm apraudātu savas tautas nokautos.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Ak kaut man tuksnesī būtu ceļavīra mājas vieta, tad es savus ļaudis atstātu un no tiem aizietu, jo tie visi ir laulības pārkāpēji, blēžu draudze.
3 “They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says the LORD.
Tie uzvelk savu mēli kā stopu uz meliem un ne uz patiesību, tie top vareni virs zemes, tie dodas no ļaunuma uz ļaunumu, bet Mani tie nepazīst, saka Tas Kungs.
4 “Everyone beware of his neighbour, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will go around like a slanderer.
Sargājaties ikviens no sava drauga, un nepaļaujaties ne uz savu brāli; jo brālis brāli krāpj, un draugs staigā draugu aprunādams.
5 Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity.
Cits pret citu dzen viltību un nerunā patiesību, tie māca savu mēli melot, tie nopūlējās netaisnību darīdami.
6 Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says the LORD.
Tava mājas vieta ir pašas viltības vidū, caur viltību tie liedzās Mani pazīt, saka Tas Kungs.
7 Therefore the LORD of Hosts says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: redzi, Es tos kausēšu un pārbaudīšu, - jo kā lai Es citādi daru Savas tautas priekšā?
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
Viņu mēle ir nāvīga bulta, tā runā viltu, ikviens ar savu muti runā par mieru ar savu tuvāku, bet savā sirdī tam liek valgus.
9 Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says the LORD. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt? saka Tas Kungs. Vai Manai dvēselei nebūs atriebties pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burnt up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.
Man jāsāk raudāšana un kaukšana par kalniem un raudu dziesma par ganībām tuksnesī; jo tās ir nodedzinātas, ka neviens tur nestaigā, un ganāmā pulka balsi tur nedzird; putni apakš debess un lopi ir aizskrējuši un aizgājuši.
11 “I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Un Jeruzālemi Es likšu par akmeņu kopu un par mājokli tuksneša zvēriem, un Jūda pilsētas Es darīšu par postažu bez iedzīvotājiem.
12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burnt up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
Kas ir tāds gudrs vīrs, kas to saprot? Un uz ko Tā Kunga mute runājusi, ka tas to var pasludināt? Kādēļ zeme iet bojā un izdeg kā tuksnesis, kur neviens nestaigā?
13 The LORD says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: tādēļ ka tie atstājuši Manu bauslību, ko Es tiem esmu licis priekšā, un nav klausījuši Manu balsi nedz pēc tās staigājuši,
14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
Bet staigājuši pēc savas sirds stūrgalvības un Baāliem pakaļ, kā viņu tēvi tos mācījuši.
15 Therefore the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Redzi, Es šos ļaudis ēdināšu ar vērmelēm un tos dzirdināšu ar žultīm.
16 I will scatter them also amongst the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
Un Es tos izkaisīšu starp tautām, ko tie nav pazinuši nedz viņu tēvi, un sūtīšu zobenu tiem pakaļ, tiekams Es tos būšu izdeldējis.
17 The LORD of Hosts says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come. Send for the skilful women, that they may come.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: ņemiet to vērā un aicinājiet raudu sievas, lai tās nāk, un sūtat pēc tām gudrām sievām, lai tās atnāk,
18 Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids gush out with waters.
Un steigšus sāk par mums raudāšanu, ka mūsu acis tek asarām un mūsu acu plakstiņi plūst ūdenim.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, ‘How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
Jo kaukšanas balss dzirdama no Ciānas: ak! Kā esam postīti, ļoti kaunā likti, jo mēs atstājam zemi, jo tie apgāzuši mūsu mājokļus!
20 Yet hear the LORD’s word, you women. Let your ear receive the word of his mouth. Teach your daughters wailing. Everyone teach her neighbour a lamentation.
Klausiet tad Tā Kunga vārdu, sievas, un lai jūsu auss uzņem viņa mutes vārdu, un mācat savām meitām raudu dziesmas, un viena otrai lai māca gaudas.
21 For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
Jo nāve kāpj iekšā pa mūsu logiem, tā nāk mūsu jaukos namos, nokaut bērniņus pa ielām un jaunekļus pa gatvēm.
22 Speak, “The LORD says, “‘The dead bodies of men will fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester. No one will gather them.’”
Runā, tā saka Tas Kungs: miroņu miesas gulēs kā mēsli uz tīruma un kā kūļi aiz pļāvēja, ko neviens nesaņem.
23 The LORD says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: gudrais lai nelielās ar savu gudrību, stiprais lai nelielās ar savu stiprumu, bagātais lai nelielās ar savu bagātību.
24 But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says the LORD.
Bet kas grib lielīties, tas lai lielās ar to, ka viņš Mani pazīst un zin, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas dara žēlastību, tiesu un taisnību virs zemes; jo pie tām Man ir labs prāts, saka Tas Kungs.
25 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:
Redzi, nāk dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es piemeklēšu apgraizītos līdz ar neapgraizītiem,
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness, for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”
Ēģiptes zemi un Jūdu un Edomu un Amona bērnus un Moabu un visus, kam apcirptas bārdas, kas tuksnesī dzīvo. Jo visi pagāni ir neapgraizīti, bet Israēla namam ir neapgraizīta sirds.
