Jeremijas 1
1 Jeremijas vārdi, kas bija Hilķijas dēls, no tiem priesteriem Anatotā Benjamina zemē.
The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
2 Uz to Tā Kunga vārds notika Josijas, Amona dēla, Jūda ķēniņa dienās, viņa valdīšanas trīspadsmitā gadā.
The word of the Lord, which came to him in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 Tāpat uz viņu notika Jojaķima, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa dienās, kamēr beidzās Cedeķijas, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, vienpadsmitais gads, kad Jeruzālemes ļaudis tapa aizvesti piektā mēnesī.
and which came to him in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, even until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, even until the transmigration of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani un sacīja:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 Pirms Es tevi radīju mātes miesās, Es tevi esmu pazinis, un pirms tu iznāci no mātes miesām, Es tevi esmu svētījis; tautām par pravieti Es tevi esmu licis.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. And before you went forth from the womb, I sanctified you. And I made you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Tad es sacīju: ak Kungs, Dievs, redzi, es neprotu runāt, jo es esmu jauns.
And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am a boy.”
7 Bet Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: nesaki, es esmu jauns; jo visur, kurp Es tevi sūtīšu, tev būs iet, un visu, ko Es tev pavēlēšu, tev būs runāt.
And the Lord said to me: “Do not choose to say, ‘I am a boy.’ For you shall go forth to everyone to whom I will send you. And you shall speak all that I will command you.
8 Nebīsties no viņiem, jo Es esmu ar tevi un tevi izglābšu, saka Tas Kungs.
You should not be afraid before their face. For I am with you, so that I may deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Un Tas Kungs izstiepa Savu roku un aizskāra manu muti, un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: redzi, Es lieku Savus vārdus tavā mutē.
And the Lord put forth his hand, and he touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have placed my words in your mouth.
10 Redzi, Es tevi šodien ieceļu pār tautām un pār valstīm, izraut un salauzīt un izdeldēt un izpostīt, tad uztaisīt un dēstīt.
Behold, today I have appointed you over nations and over kingdoms, so that you may root up, and pull down, and destroy, and scatter, and so that you may build and plant.”
11 Un Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja: ko tu redzi, Jeremija? Un es sacīju: es redzu zizli (mandeļu koka zaru).
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “I see a staff, keeping watch.”
12 Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: tu esi labi redzējis; jo Es būšu nomodā par Savu vārdu, ka Es to daru.
And the Lord said to me: “You have seen well. For I will keep watch over my word, so that I may accomplish it.”
13 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani otru reiz un sacīja: ko tu redzi? Un es sacīju: es redzu verdošu podu no ziemeļa puses.
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a cooking pot upon a fire, and its face is before the face of the north.”
14 Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: no ziemeļa puses ļaunums gāzīsies pār visiem zemes iedzīvotājiem.
And the Lord said to me: “From the north, an evil will spread over all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 Jo redzi, Es saucu visas ķēniņu valstu ciltis no ziemeļa puses, saka Tas Kungs, un tie nāks un cels ikviens savu krēslu priekš Jeruzālemes vārtu durvīm un pret visiem viņas mūriem visapkārt un pret visām Jūda pilsētām.
For behold, I will call together all the close associates of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord. And they will arrive, and each one of them will place his throne at the entrance to the gates of Jerusalem, and over all its surrounding walls, and over all the cities of Judah.
16 Un Es spriedīšu Savu sodību pret viņiem par visu viņu ļaunumu, ka tie Mani atstājuši un kvēpinājuši citiem dieviem un klanījušies priekš savu roku darba.
And I will speak my judgments with them, concerning all the wickedness of those who have forsaken me, and who have offered libations to strange gods, and who have adored the work of their own hands.
17 Tu tad apjoz savus gurnus un celies un runā uz tiem visu, ko Es tev pavēlēšu; neiztrūcinājies priekš viņiem, lai Es tevi neiztrūcināju viņu priekšā.
Therefore, you should gird your waist, and rise up, and speak to them everything that I instruct you. You should not have dread before their face. For I will cause you to be unafraid of their countenance.
18 Jo redzi, Es tevi šodien ceļu par stipru pilsētu un par dzelzs stabu un par vara mūri pret visu šo zemi, pret Jūda ķēniņiem, pret viņu lielkungiem, pret viņu priesteriem un pret tās zemes ļaudīm.
For certainly, this day, I have made you like a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and a brass wall, over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its leaders, and to the priests, and to the people of the land.
19 Un tie karos pret tevi, bet nekā neiespēs pret tevi; jo Es esmu ar tevi, saka Tas Kungs, tevi izglābt.
And they will make war against you, but they will not prevail. For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may free you.”
