Jeremijas 10
1 Klausiet to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs uz jums runā, Israēla nams.
Hear ye the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O house of Israel.
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs: nemācaties pagānu ceļu un neizbīstaties no debess zīmēm, jebšu pagāni no tām izbīstas.
Thus saith the Lord: Learn not according to the ways of the Gentiles: and be not afraid of the signs of heaven, which the heathens fear:
3 Jo pagānu likumi ir nelietība. Jo tas ir koks, mežā cirsts, darbs no amatnieka rokām ar cirvi.
For the laws of the people are vain: for the works of the hand of the workman hath cut a tree out of the forest with an axe.
4 Viņš to izgrezno ar sudrabu un ar zeltu, stiprina ar naglām un ar āmuriem, ka nešaubās.
He hath decked it with silver and gold: he hath put it together with nails and hammers, that it may not fall asunder.
5 Tie ir kā tēsti stabi un nerunā, tie top apkārt nēsāti, jo paši nestaigā. Nebīstaties no viņiem, jo tie nedara ļauna, arī labu darīt tie nevar.
They are framed after the likeness of a palm tree, and shall not speak: they must be carried to be removed, because they cannot go. Therefore, fear them not, for they can neither do evil nor good.
6 Bet nu neviena nav, kā Tu, Kungs; Tu esi liels, un liels ir Tavs vārds ar spēku.
There is none like to thee, O Lord: thou art great and great is thy name in might.
7 Kas Tevi nebītos, Tu tautu Ķēniņ? Jo tas Tev nākas, tādēļ ka starp visiem pagānu gudriem un visās viņu valstīs neviena tāda nav, kā Tu.
Who shall fear thee, O king of nations? for thine is the glory: among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms there is none like unto thee.
8 Tiešām, tie visi kopā ir neprātīgi un ģeķīgi. Jo viņu mācība ir nelietība, tie ir koks.
They shall all proved together to be senseless and foolish: the doctrine of their vanity is wood.
9 Izkalts sudrabs top atvests no Taršiša un zelts no Ūpaza, kalēja darbam un kausētāja rokām; pazilas drēbes un purpurs ir viņu apģērbs; tie visi ir amatnieku darbs.
Silver spread into plates is brought from Tharsis, and gold from Ophaz: the work of the artificer, and of the hand of the coppersmith: violet and purple is their clothing: all these things are the work of artificers.
10 Bet Tas Kungs ir patiesi Dievs, Viņš ir dzīvs Dievs un mūžīgs Ķēniņš. No Viņa bardzības zeme dreb, un tautas Viņa dusmību nevar panest.
But the Lord is the true God: he is the living God, and the everlasting king, at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his threatening.
11 Tā jums uz tiem būs sacīt: tiem dieviem, kas debesi un zemi nav darījuši, tiem būs iet bojā no zemes un no šīs pasaules.
Thus then shall you say to them: The gods that have not made heaven and earth, let them perish from the earth, and from among those places that are under heaven.
12 Viņš zemi radījis caur Savu spēku un pasauli dibinājis caur Savu gudrību un debesis izpletis caur Savu padomu.
He that maketh the earth by his power, that prepareth the world by his wisdom, and stretcheth out the heavens by his knowledge.
13 Kad Viņa balss atskan, tad ūdeņi krāc debesīs, un Viņš liek miglai celties no zemes galiem, Viņš dara zibeņus ar lietu un liek vējam nākt no Viņa alām.
At his voice he giveth a multitude of waters in the heaven, and lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings for rain, and bringeth for the wind out of his treasures.
14 Visi cilvēki paliek stulbi bez saprašanas, visi kausētāji top kaunā ar saviem tēliem, jo ko tie lej, ir meli, un dvašas tur nav.
Every man is become a fool for knowledge every artist is confounded in his graven idol: for what he hath cast is false, and there is no spirit in them.
15 Tie ir nelietība un apsmejams darbs; piemeklēšanas laikā tie iet bojā.
They are vain things and a ridiculous work: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 Tā kā šie nav Jēkaba daļa, jo Viņš ir visu lietu Radītājs, un Israēls ir Viņa mantības cilts, - Kungs Cebaot ir Viņa vārds.
The portion of Jacob is not like these: for it is he who formed all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.
17 Pacel savu paunu no zemes, tu kas sēdi spaidos.
Gather up thy shame out of the land, thou that dwellest in a siege.
18 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, šoreiz Es metu projām tās zemes iedzīvotājus kā ar lingu, un Es tos spaidīšu, ka tiek atrasti.
For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will cast away far off the inhabitants of the land at this time: and I will afflict them, so that they may be found.
19 Vai manu bēdu! Mana vaina ir sāpīga! Bet es saku: tās ir gan sāpes, bet man tās jāpanes.
Woe is me for my destruction, my wound is very grievous. But I said: Truly this is my own evil, and I will bear it.
20 Mana telts ir postīta, un visas manas virves ir sarautas; mani bērni no manis aizgājuši un to vairs nav. Neviena nav, kas manu dzīvokli uztaisa un manas teltis uzceļ.
My tabernacle is laid waste, all my cords are broken: my children are gone out from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 Jo tie gani palikuši stulbi un nav To Kungu meklējuši, tādēļ tiem nav labi izdevies, bet viss viņu ganāmais pulks izklīdis.
Because the pastors have done foolishly, and have not sought the Lord: therefore have they not understood, and all their flock is scattered.
22 Klau, ko dzird! Redzi, nāk liels troksnis no ziemeļa zemes, postā likt Jūda pilsētas un darīt par mājokli tuksneša zvēriem.
Behold the sound of a noise cometh, a great commotion out of the land of the north: to make the cities of Juda a desert, and a dwelling for dragons.
23 Es zinu, ak Kungs, ka cilvēka ceļš pie viņa paša nestāv; tas nestāv pie vīra, kā lai staigā, kurp tas lai sper savus soļus.
I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk, and to direct his steps.
24 Pārmāci mani, ak Kungs, bet ar žēlastību, ne savā bardzībā, ka Tu mani neiznīcini.
Correct me, O Lord, but yet with judgement: and not in fury, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25 Izgāz Savu dusmību pār tiem pagāniem, kas tevi nepazīst, un pār tām ciltīm, kas Tavu vārdu nepiesauc. Jo tie Jēkabu aprijuši, tie viņu apēduši un viņu izdeldējuši un viņa druvas izpostījuši.
Pour out thy indignation upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the provinces that have not called upon thy name: because they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have destroyed his glory.
