Jeremijas 12
1 Tu, ak Kungs, palieci taisns, kad es ar Tevi gribētu tiesāties; tomēr par tiesu ar Tevi gribu runāt. Kāpēc bezdievīgiem ceļš labi izdodas, un visiem, kas dara viltu, labi klājās?
You are righteous, YHWH, when I contend with you; yet I would reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?
2 Tu tos esi dēstījis, un tie ir iesakņojušies un aug un nes augļus; Tu gan esi tuvu viņu mutei, bet tālu no viņu sirdīm.
You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
3 Bet mani, ak Kungs, Tu pazīsti, mani Tu redzi un pārbaudi manu sirdi, kāda tā ir tavā priekšā. Aizrauj viņus kā avis uz kaušanu un nolieci tos uz nokaušanas dienu!
But you, YHWH, know me; you see me, and try my heart toward you: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 Cik ilgi tad zeme lai bēdājās un zāle visur laukā lai savīst? Iedzīvotāju blēdības dēļ lopi un putni iet bojā. Jo tie saka: viņš neredz, kā mums pēcgalā klāsies!
How long shall the land be parched, and the grass of every field wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, the animals are consumed, and the birds; because they said, "He shall not see our latter end."
5 Kad tu skrēji ar kājniekiem un tie tevi nokausēja, kā tad tu varētu skrieties ar zirgiem? Un ja tu jūties drošs miera zemē, ko tad tu darīsi Jardānes varenos biezumos?
"If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
6 Jo, pat tavi brāļi un tavs tēva nams ir neuzticīgi pret tevi un sauc pilnā balsī tev pakaļ. Neuzticies tiem, kad tie laipnīgi ar tevi runā.
For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; even they have cried aloud after you: do not believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
7 Es Savu namu esmu atstājis un atmetis Savu mantas tiesu un to, ko Mana dvēsele mīļo, nodevis viņa ienaidniekiem rokā.
I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Mana mantība Man ir palikusi kā lauva mežā; tā savu balsi pret Mani pacēlusi, tādēļ Es to esmu ienīdējis.
My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest: she has uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.
9 Mana mantība Man ir kā raibs putns, kam putni uzkrīt no visām pusēm. Nāciet, sapulcinājaties, visi zvēri laukā, nāciet un ēdiet.
Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field, bring them to devour.
10 Daudz gani maitājuši Manu vīna dārzu, tie ir saminuši Manu tīrumu, Manu jauko tīrumu tie darījuši par tukšu postažu.
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 Tas ir postā, izpostīts tas bēdājās Manā priekšā; visa zeme ir postīta, jo neviena nav, kam sirds to ņem vērā.
They have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.
12 Pa visiem tuksneša kalniem postītāji nākuši, jo Tā Kunga zobens rij no viena zemes gala līdz otram, un miera nav nevienai miesai.
Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of YHWH devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
13 Tie sēj kviešus, bet ērkšķus tie pļauj, tie gan grūti strādā, bet nepelna nekā. Tā tad topat kaunā ar saviem augļiem caur Tā Kunga karsto bardzību.
They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of YHWH.
14 Tā saka Tas Kungs par visiem maniem nikniem kaimiņiem, kas aizskar to mantību, ko Es esmu devis mantot Saviem Israēla ļaudīm: Es tos izraušu no viņu zemes un Jūda namu Es izraušu no viņu vidus.
Thus says YHWH against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: 'look, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
15 Un notiks, kad Es tos būšu izrāvis, tad Es atkal par tiem apžēlošos, Es tos vedīšu atpakaļ, ikkatru savā daļā un ikkatru savā zemē.
It shall happen, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 Un ja tie Manu ļaužu ceļu tikuši(rūpīgi) mācīsies un zvērēs pie Mana Vārda: „Tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo!“Tā kā tie Manus ļaudis ir mācījuši pie Baāla zvērēt, - tad tie taps uzņemti Manu ļaužu vidū.
It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, "As YHWH lives;" even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.
17 Bet ja tie neklausīs, tad Es šo tautu izraušu un to pavisam izdeldēšu, saka Tas Kungs.
But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it,'" says YHWH.
