Jeremijas 10
1 Klausiet to vārdu, ko Tas Kungs uz jums runā, Israēla nams.
“Hear the word that Yahweh is announcing to you, house of Israel.
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs: nemācaties pagānu ceļu un neizbīstaties no debess zīmēm, jebšu pagāni no tām izbīstas.
Yahweh says this, 'Do not learn the ways of the nations, and do not be dismayed by the signs in the heavens, for the nations are dismayed by these.
3 Jo pagānu likumi ir nelietība. Jo tas ir koks, mežā cirsts, darbs no amatnieka rokām ar cirvi.
For the religious customs of these people are worthless. They cut down a tree in the forest, and the craftsman carves the wood.
4 Viņš to izgrezno ar sudrabu un ar zeltu, stiprina ar naglām un ar āmuriem, ka nešaubās.
Then they decorate it with silver and gold. They strengthen it with hammer and nails so it will not fall over.
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.
What they make with their hands is like scarecrows in a cucumber field, because they, too, can say nothing, and they have to be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they cannot bring about evil, nor are they able to do anything good.'”
6 Bet nu neviena nav, kā Tu, Kungs; Tu esi liels, un liels ir Tavs vārds ar spēku.
There is no one like you, Yahweh. You are great, and your 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 does not fear you, king of the nations? For this is what you deserve, for there is no one like you among all the wise men of the nations or all their royal kingdoms.
8 Tiešām, tie visi kopā ir neprātīgi un ģeķīgi. Jo viņu mācība ir nelietība, tie ir koks.
They are all the same, they are brutish and stupid, disciples of idols that are nothing 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.
They bring hammered silver from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz made by artificers, the hands of refiners. Their clothes are blue and purple cloth. Their skillful men made all of these things.
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 Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God and eternal king. The earth quakes at his anger, and the nations cannot endure his anger.
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 will speak to them like this, “The gods that did not make the heavens and earth will 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.
But it was he who made the earth by his power, and he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding 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.
His voice makes the roar of waters in the heavens, and he brings up the mists from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and sends out wind from his storehouse.
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 ignorant, without knowledge. Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols. For his cast images are frauds; there is no life in them.
15 Tie ir nelietība un apsmejams darbs; piemeklēšanas laikā tie iet bojā.
They are useless, the work of mockers; they will perish at the time of their punishment.
16 Tā kā šie nav Jēkaba daļa, jo Viņš ir visu lietu Radītājs, un Israēls ir Viņa mantības cilts, - Kungs Cebaot ir Viņa vārds.
But God, the portion of Jacob, is not like these, for he is the molder of all things. Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh of hosts is his name.
17 Pacel savu paunu no zemes, tu kas sēdi spaidos.
Gather your bundle and leave the land, you people who have been living under the 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 Yahweh says this, “See, I am about to throw the inhabitants of the land out this time. I will cause them distress, and they will find it to be so.”
19 Vai manu bēdu! Mana vaina ir sāpīga! Bet es saku: tās ir gan sāpes, bet man tās jāpanes.
Woe to me! Because of my broken bones, my wound is infected. So I said, “Surely this is agony, but 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 devastated, and all of my tent cords are cut in two. They have taken my children away from me, so they no longer exist. There is no longer anyone to spread out my tent or to raise up my tent 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 stupid and they do not seek Yahweh; so they have not prospered, and all their flock has been scattered.
22 Klau, ko dzird! Redzi, nāk liels troksnis no ziemeļa zemes, postā likt Jūda pilsētas un darīt par mājokli tuksneša zvēriem.
The report of news has arrived, “See! It is coming, a great earthquake is coming from the land of the north To make the cities of Judah into ruins, hideouts for 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.
I know, Yahweh, that the way of a man does not come from himself. No person walking directs his own steps.
24 Pārmāci mani, ak Kungs, bet ar žēlastību, ne savā bardzībā, ka Tu mani neiznīcini.
Discipline me, Yahweh, with justice, not in your anger or you would destroy me.
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 your fury on the nations that do not know you and on the families that do not call on your name. For they have devoured Jacob and consumed him so as to completely destroy him and demolish his habitation.
