Jeremijas 13

1 Tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej un pērc sev nātnu(linu) jostu un jozies ar to ap saviem gurniem, bet neliec to ūdenī.

Yahweh said this to me, “Go and buy a linen undergarment and put it on around your waist, but do not put it in water first.”

2 Tad es pirku jostu pēc Tā Kunga vārda un apjozos ar to ap saviem gurniem.

So I bought an undergarment as Yahweh directed, and I put in on around my waist.

3 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani otru reiz un sacīja:

Then the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,

4 Ņem to jostu, ko tu esi pircis, kas ap taviem gurniem, un celies, ej pie Eifrates un apslēp to tur kādā klints plaisumā.

“Take the undergarment that you purchased that is around your waist, get up and go now to Perath. Hide it there in a rock crevice.”

5 Un es gāju un to apslēpu pie Eifrates, kā Tas Kungs man bija pavēlējis.

So I went and hid it in Perath, just as Yahweh had commanded me.

6 Tad pēc ilgāka laika Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: celies, ej pie Eifrates un ņem to jostu no turienes, ko Es tev esmu pavēlējis, tur apslēpt.

After many days, Yahweh said to me, “Get up and go back to Perath. Take from there the undergarment that I had told you to hide.”

7 Tad es gāju pie Eifrates un raku un ņēmu to jostu no tās vietas, kur to biju apslēpis, un redzi, tā josta bija maitāta un nederēja vairs nekam.

So I went back to Perath and dug out the undergarment where I had hid it, and behold, it was destroyed and completely useless.

8 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja:

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

9 Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpat Es maitāšu Jūda lepnību un Jeruzālemes lielo lepnību.

“Yahweh says this: In the same way I will destroy the great arrogance of Judah and Jerusalem.

10 Šie niknie ļaudis, kas negrib klausīt Manus vārdus un staigā pēc savas sirds stūrgalvības un dzenās citiem dieviem pakaļ, viņiem kalpot un priekš viņiem klanīties, tie būs kā šī josta, kas nekam vairs neder.

This wicked people who refuses to listen to my word, who walk in the hardness of their heart, who go after other gods to worship them and bow down to them—they will be like this undergarment that is good for nothing.

11 Jo kā josta pieglaužas pie vīra gurniem, tā Es visu Israēla namu un visu Jūda namu esmu sev pieglaudījis, saka Tas Kungs, ka tie Man būtu par ļaudīm un par vārdu un par slavu un par godu, bet tie nav klausījuši.

For just as an undergarment clings to someone's hips, so I have made all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah cling to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—to be my people, to bring me fame, praise, and honor. But they would not listen to me.

12 Tāpēc saki uz tiem šo vārdu: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: visi trauki top ar vīnu pildīti. Kad tie uz tevi sacīs: Vai tad mēs to nezinām, ka visi trauki ar vīnu top pildīti?

So you must speak this word to them, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Every jar will be filled with wine.' They will say to you, 'Do we not indeed know that every jar will be filled with wine?'

13 Tad tev uz viņiem būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, visus šās zemes iedzīvotājus, un ķēniņus, kas uz Dāvida goda krēsla sēž, un priesterus un praviešus un visus Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus Es pildīšu ar reibumu.

So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: See, I am about to fill with drunkenness every inhabitant of this land, the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

14 Un Es tos sadauzīšu vienu pret otru, tēvus un bērnus, visus kopā, saka Tas Kungs, Es nesaudzēšu un netaupīšu, nedz apžēlošos, ka Es tos neizdeldētu.

Then I will smash each man against the other, fathers and children together—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will not pity them or have compassion, and I will not spare them from destruction.'”

15 Klausiet un ņemiet vērā, nelepojaties, jo Tas Kungs to runājis.

Listen and pay attention. Do not be arrogant, for Yahweh had spoken.

16 Dodiet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, godu, pirms tumsa metās, un pirms jūsu kājas piedauzās pie krēslības kalniem, un jūs uz gaismu gaidāt, bet Viņš to darīs par nāves ēnu un pārvērtīs par tumsību.

Give honor to Yahweh your God before he brings darkness, and before he causes your feet to stumble on the mountains at twilight. For you are hoping for light, but he will turn the place into a deep darkness, into a dark cloud.

17 Bet kad jūs to neklausīsiet, tad mana dvēsele raudās slepeni tādas lepnības dēļ. Un manas acis izlies gaužas asaras un asarām plūdīs, tādēļ ka Tā Kunga ganāmais pulks top aizvests cietumā.

So if you will not listen, I will weep alone because of your arrogance. My eyes will certainly weep and flow with tears, for Yahweh's flock has been taken captive.

18 Saki uz ķēniņu un uz ķēniņieni: zemojaties, sēžaties zemē, jo viss jūsu galvas glītums, jūsu godības kronis, ir nokritis.

“Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Come down from your thrones, for your splendid crowns have fallen from your heads.'

19 Pilsētas pret dienvidiem ir aizslēgtas, un nav, kas tās atver, visa Jūda cilts ir aizvesta, tā ir pavisam aizvesta.

The cities in the Negev will be shut up, with no one to open them. All Judah will be taken captive, completely taken captive.

20 Paceļat savas acis un raugāt, kas nāk no ziemeļiem. Kur ir tas ganāmais pulks, kas tev bija dots, tavas godības avis?

Lift up your eyes and look at the ones coming from the north. Where is the flock he gave to you, the flock that was so beautiful to you?

21 Ko tu sacīsi, kad Viņš tev cels par galvu tos, ko tu sev pielabinājis par draugiem? Vai tad tevi sāpes nesagrābs, kā sievu, kas dzemdē?

What will you say when God sets over you those you had trained to be your special allies? Are these not the beginnings of the labor pains that will seize you just like a woman in childbirth?

22 Kad tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: Kāpēc man tas notiek? Tavu lielo noziegumu dēļ tavu drēbju vīles ir atsegtas un tavas kājas piesmietas.

Then you might say in your heart, 'Why are these things happening to me?' It will be for the multitude of your iniquities that your skirts are raised up and you have been violated.

23 Vai Moru vīrs var savu ādu pārvērst jeb pardelis(leopards) savus raibumus? Tad arī jūs varētu labu darīt, kad esat ieraduši ļaunu darīt.

Can the people of Cush change their skin color, or a leopard change its spots? If so, then you yourself, although accustomed to wickedness, would be able to do good.

24 Tādēļ Es tos gribu izkaisīt kā pelavas, kas izput no tuksneša vēja.

So I will scatter them like chaff that perishes in the desert wind.

25 Šī būs tava daļa, tā tiesa, ko Es tev esmu nospriedis, saka Tas Kungs, tāpēc ka tu mani esi aizmirsusi un paļāvusies uz meliem.

This is what I have given to you, the portion I have decreed for you—this is Yahweh's declaration— because you have forgotten me and trusted in deceit.

26 Tad arī Es tavas drēbju vīles atsegšu pār tavu vaigu, ka tavs kauns top redzams.

So also I myself will strip your skirts off you, and your private parts will be seen.

27 Jo Es esmu redzējis tavu laulības pārkāpšanu, tavu nešķīsto iekārošanu, tavu neganto maukošanu uz elku kalniem, laukā tavu negantību. Ak vai, tev, Jeruzāleme! Vai tad tu negribi palikt šķīsta, cik ilgi tas vēl būs?

I have seen your adultery and neighing, the wickedness of your prostitution on the hills and in the fields, and I have seen these detestable things! Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long until you are made clean again?”
