Jeremijas 10
1 Klausiet to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs uz jums runā, Israēla nams.
Hear the word which YHWH speaks to you, house of Israel.
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs: nemācaties pagānu ceļu un neizbīstaties no debess zīmēm, jebšu pagāni no tām izbīstas.
Thus says YHWH, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations 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 peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
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 not move.
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 like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Do not be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither 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.
"There is none like you, YHWH; 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 should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
8 Tiešām, tie visi kopā ir neprātīgi un ģeķīgi. Jo viņu mācība ir nelietība, tie ir koks.
But they are together brutish and foolish, the instruction of idols. It is but 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.
There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful 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 YHWH is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand 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.
You shall say this to them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the 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 by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:
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 tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the farthest parts of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
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 has become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved 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, a work of delusion: 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 he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; YHWH of hosts is his name."
17 Pacel savu paunu no zemes, tu kas sēdi spaidos.
'Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under 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 says YHWH, 'Look, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.'
19 Vai manu bēdu! Mana vaina ir sāpīga! Bet es saku: tās ir gan sāpes, bet man tās jāpanes.
Woe is me because of my hurt. My wound is grievous: but I said, 'Truly this is my 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 tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread 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 shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of YHWH: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
22 Klau, ko dzird! Redzi, nāk liels troksnis no ziemeļa zemes, postā likt Jūda pilsētas un darīt par mājokli tuksneša zvēriem.
The voice of news, look, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
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.
YHWH, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 Pārmāci mani, ak Kungs, bet ar žēlastību, ne savā bardzībā, ka Tu mani neiznīcini.
YHWH, correct me, but in measure: 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 wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation."
