Jeremijas 10
1 Klausiet to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs uz jums runā, Israēla nams.
Heare ye the worde of the Lord that he speaketh vnto 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, Learne not the way of the heathen, and be not afraid for the signes of heauen, though the heathen be afraid of such.
3 Jo pagānu likumi ir nelietība. Jo tas ir koks, mežā cirsts, darbs no amatnieka rokām ar cirvi.
For the customes of the people are vaine: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest (which is the worke of the handes of the carpenter) with the axe,
4 Viņš to izgrezno ar sudrabu un ar zeltu, stiprina ar naglām un ar āmuriem, ka nešaubās.
And another decketh it with siluer, and with golde: they fasten it with nailes, and hammers, that it fall not.
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.
The idoles stande vp as the palme tree, but speake not: they are borne because they cannot go feare them not, for they cannot do euill, neither can they do good.
6 Bet nu neviena nav, kā Tu, Kungs; Tu esi liels, un liels ir Tavs vārds ar spēku.
There is none like vnto thee, O Lord: thou art great, and thy name is great in power.
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 would not feare thee, O King of nations? for to thee appertaineth the dominion: for among all the wise men of the Gentiles, and in al their kingdomes there is none like thee.
8 Tiešām, tie visi kopā ir neprātīgi un ģeķīgi. Jo viņu mācība ir nelietība, tie ir koks.
But, altogether they dote, and are foolish: for the stocke is a doctrine of vanitie.
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.
Siluer plates are brought from Tarshish, and golde from Vphaz, for the worke of the workeman, and the handes of the founder: the blewe silke, and the purple is their clothing: all these things are made by cunning men.
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 God of trueth: he is the liuing God, and an euerlasting King: at his anger the earth shall tremble, and the nations cannot abide his wrath.
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 shall you say vnto them, The gods that haue not made the heauens and the earth, shall perish from the earth, and from vnder these heauens)
12 Viņš zemi radījis caur Savu spēku un pasauli dibinājis caur Savu gudrību un debesis izpletis caur Savu padomu.
He hath made the earth by his power, and established the worlde by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.
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.
Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to rayne, and bringeth forth the winde 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.
Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.
15 Tie ir nelietība un apsmejams darbs; piemeklēšanas laikā tie iet bojā.
They are vanitie, and the worke of errours: 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 Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.
17 Pacel savu paunu no zemes, tu kas sēdi spaidos.
Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O thou that dwellest in the strong place.
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 sayth the Lord, Beholde, at this time I will throwe as with a sling the inhabitants of the lande, and will trouble them, and they shall finde it so.
19 Vai manu bēdu! Mana vaina ir sāpīga! Bet es saku: tās ir gan sāpes, bet man tās jāpanes.
Wo is me for my destruction, and my grieuous plague: but I thought, Yet it is my sorow, and I will beare 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 destroyed, and all my coardes are broken: my children are gone from me, and are not: there is none to spread out my tent any more, and to set vp my curtaines.
21 Jo tie gani palikuši stulbi un nav To Kungu meklējuši, tādēļ tiem nav labi izdevies, bet viss viņu ganāmais pulks izklīdis.
For the Pastours are become beasts, and haue not sought the Lord: therefore haue they none vnderstanding: and all the flockes of their pastures are scattered.
22 Klau, ko dzird! Redzi, nāk liels troksnis no ziemeļa zemes, postā likt Jūda pilsētas un darīt par mājokli tuksneša zvēriem.
Beholde, the noyse of the brute is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of 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.
O Lord, I knowe, that the way of man is not in himselfe, neyther is it in man to walke and to direct his steps.
24 Pārmāci mani, ak Kungs, bet ar žēlastību, ne savā bardzībā, ka Tu mani neiznīcini.
O Lord, correct mee, but with iudgement, not in thine anger, least thou bring mee 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.
Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen, that knowe thee not, and vpon the families that call not on thy Name: for they haue eaten vp Iaakob and deuoured him and consumed him, and haue made his habitation desolate.
