Jeremijas 11
1 Šis ir tas vārds, kas no Tā Kunga tā notika uz Jeremiju:
This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:
2 Klausiet šās derības vārdus un runājiet uz Jūda vīriem un uz Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem.
“Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].
3 Un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: nolādēts lai ir tas cilvēks, kas neklausa šās derības vārdiem,
Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.
4 Ko Es jūsu tēviem esmu pavēlējis, kad tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes, no tā dzelzs cepļa, un sacīju: klausiet Manu balsi, un dariet to, tā kā Es jums pavēlu, tad jūs Man būsiet par ļaudīm, un Es jums būšu par Dievu,
It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.
5 Lai Es to zvērestu piepildu, ko Es jūsu tēviem esmu zvērējis, viņiem dot zemi, kur piens un medus tek, tā kā tas šodien ir. Tad es atbildēju un sacīju: Āmen, Kungs!
[Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”
6 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: izsauc visus šos vārdus pa Jūda pilsētām un pa Jeruzālemes ielām, un saki: klausiet šās derības vārdus un dariet tos.
Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.
7 Jo Es jūsu tēviem skaidri esmu apliecinājis tai dienā, kad tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes, līdz šai dienai, tikuši(vienmēr) liecību dodams, un sacīju: klausiet Manu balsi.
When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.
8 Bet tie nav klausījuši nedz savas ausis atgriezuši, bet staigājuši ikviens pēc savas niknās sirds stūrgalvības. Tāpēc Es liku pār tiem nākt visiem šīs derības vārdiem, ko Es pavēlēju darīt, un tie nav darījuši.
But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”
9 Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: sabiedrība rodas starp Jūda vīriem un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem.
Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.
10 Tie ir atgriezušies pie savu vectēvu noziegumiem, kas liegušies Maniem vārdiem klausīt, un citiem dieviem dzinušies pakaļ, tiem kalpot. Israēla nams un Jūda nams pārkāpuši Manu derību, ko Es ar viņu tēviem esmu cēlis.
Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.
11 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi Es pār tiem vedīšu ļaunumu, no kā tie nevarēs izbēgt; kad tie tad uz Mani brēks, tad Es tos neklausīšu.
So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.
12 Un Jūda pilsētas un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji noies un brēks uz tiem dieviem, kam tie kvēpinājuši; bet pestīt tie tos neatpestīs viņu nelaimes laikā.
When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.
13 Jo cik tev pilsētu, Jūda, tik arī tavu dievu, un cik Jeruzālemē ielu, tik altāru jūs esat cēluši par kaunu, altārus Baālam kvēpināt.
There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.
14 Tu tad nelūdz par šiem ļaudīm un nenes par tiem piesaukšanu un lūgšanu, jo Es neklausīšu, kad tie Mani piesauks par savu nelaimi.
Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”
15 Kas Manam mīļam ir Manā namā, kur tā top darīts, tāda blēdība no tāda pulka! Vai solījumi un upura gaļa atņems nelaimi no tevis? Tad tu varētu gavilēt.
Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.
16 Tas Kungs tevi nosauca par zaļu eļļas koku, kas jauks un auglīgs, bet nu Viņš tam uguni pielicis ar lielu trokšņa skaņu, un viņa zari lūst.
I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.
17 Jo Tas Kungs Cebaot, kas tevi dēstījis, tas par tevi nospriedis nelaimi, Israēla nama un Jūda nama niknuma dēļ, ko tie savā starpā dara, Mani apkaitināt, Baālam kvēpinādami.
[It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”
18 Nu Tas Kungs man to ir zināmu darījis, un es to zinu; Tu man esi rādījis viņu padomu.
Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.
19 Un es biju tā kā lēna avs, ko ved pie kaušanas, un es nezināju, ka tie pret mani bija domājuši tādas domas: lai to koku ar viņa augļiem maitājam un viņu izdeldam no dzīvo zemes, ka viņa vārdu vairs nepieminētu.
[Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].
20 Bet Tu, Kungs Cebaot, taisnais soģi, kas pārbaudi īkstis un sirdis, liec man redzēt Tavu atriebšanu pie viņiem, jo Tev es esmu pavēlējis savu tiesas lietu.
[Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
21 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs pret Anatotas vīriem, kas tavu dvēseli meklē un saka: nesludini pret mums Tā Kunga Vārdā, ja negribi mirt caur mūsu rokām.
It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.
22 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: redzi, Es tos piemeklēšu un tiem jaunekļiem būs mirt caur zobenu, viņu dēli un viņu meitas mirs badā, ka no tiem nekas neatliks.
So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.
23 Jo nelaimei Es likšu nākt pār Anatotas vīriem viņu piemeklēšanas gadā.
I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”
