Jeremijas 10
1 Klausiet to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs uz jums runā, Israēla nams.
Hear you the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel:
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs: nemācaties pagānu ceļu un neizbīstaties no debess zīmēm, jebšu pagāni no tām izbīstas.
Thus says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 Jo pagānu likumi ir nelietība. Jo tas ir koks, mežā cirsts, darbs no amatnieka rokām ar cirvi.
For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 Viņš to izgrezno ar sudrabu un ar zeltu, stiprina ar naglām un ar āmuriem, ka nešaubās.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move 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.
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Bet nu neviena nav, kā Tu, Kungs; Tu esi liels, un liels ir Tavs vārds ar spēku.
For as much as there is none like to you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great 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 would not fear you, O King of nations? for to you does it appertain: for as much as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like to you.
8 Tiešām, tie visi kopā ir neprātīgi un ģeķīgi. Jo viņu mācība ir nelietība, tie ir koks.
But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
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 Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of 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 true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
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 to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 Viņš zemi radījis caur Savu spēku un pasauli dibinājis caur Savu gudrību un debesis izpletis caur Savu padomu.
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens 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.
When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning with rain, and brings forth 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 brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Tie ir nelietība un apsmejams darbs; piemeklēšanas laikā tie iet bojā.
They are vanity, and the work of errors: 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 them: for he is the former of 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 your wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
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 says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Vai manu bēdu! Mana vaina ir sāpīga! Bet es saku: tās ir gan sāpes, bet man tās jāpanes.
Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must 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 spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of 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.
For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22 Klau, ko dzird! Redzi, nāk liels troksnis no ziemeļa zemes, postā likt Jūda pilsētas un darīt par mājokli tuksneša zvēriem.
Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den 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 know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps.
24 Pārmāci mani, ak Kungs, bet ar žēlastību, ne savā bardzībā, ka Tu mani neiznīcini.
O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you 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 your fury on the heathen that know you not, and on the families that call not on your name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
