Jeremijas 14
1 Šis ir Tā Kunga vārds, kas noticis uz Jeremiju, par to bula(sausuma) laiku.
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
2 Jūda bēdājās, un viņa vārti tvīkst, sērodamies tie guļ pie zemes, un Jeruzālemes brēkšana kāpj uz augšu.
Judah mourneth, and her gates languish; they lie grieved on the ground; and the distressed cry of Jerusalem ascendeth upward.
3 Un viņu cienīgie sūta savus zemos pēc ūdens; tie nāk pie akām, neatrod ūdens, atgriežas ar saviem traukiem tukšā, top kaunā un noskumst un apsedz savu galvu.
And their nobles have sent out their subordinates for water: they come to the pits, they find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are ashamed and confounded, and cover their head.
4 Tāpēc ka zeme iztrūkusies, ka lietus nav virs zemes, arāji ir nokaunējušies, apsedz savu galvu.
Because of the ground which is cracked open, since there hath been no rain in the land, are the ploughmen ashamed, they cover their head.
5 Pat stirna laukā atnesās un atstāj (savus bērnus), tāpēc ka zāles nav.
Yea, the hind also bringeth forth her young in the field, and forsaketh [them], because there is no grass.
6 Un meža ēzeļi stāv pakalnos un tvarsta vēju, kā tuksneša vilki; viņu acis pamirst, tāpēc ka zāles nav.
And the wild asses stand on the mountain-tops, they snuff up the wind like serpents: their eyes fail, because there are no herbs.
7 Ak Kungs, jebšu mūsu noziegumi liecina pret mums, tomēr palīdzi Tava Vārda dēļ, jo mūsu atkāpšanās ir liela, pret Tevi esam grēkojuši.
If our iniquities testify against us, O Lord, do thou act for the sake of thy name; for our backslidings are many; against thee have we sinned.
8 Ak Israēla cerība, viņa Pestītājs bēdu laikā, kāpēc Tu gribi būt kā svešinieks šai zemē, jeb kā ceļavīrs, kas nāk, tik palikt par nakti?
O thou hope of Israel, his saviour in time of trouble, why shouldst thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfarer that turneth aside to lodge for a night?
9 Kāpēc Tu gribi būt kā vīrs, kas iztrūcies, kā varonis, kas nevar glābt? Tomēr Tu Kungs esi mūsu vidū, un mēs pēc Tava Vārda esam nosaukti, neatstājies no mums!
Why shouldst thou be as a man that is surprised, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou art in the midst of us, O Lord, and we are called by thy name: abandon us not.
10 Tā saka Tas Kungs uz šiem ļaudīm: tie mīļo šurp un turp skraidīt un nevalda savas kājas, tāpēc Tam Kungam nav labs prāts pie tiem. Nu Viņš pieminēs viņu noziegumu un piemeklēs viņu grēkus.
Thus hath said the Lord unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander about, their feet have they not restrained: therefore the Lord doth not receive them in favor; now will he remember their iniquity, and will punish their sins.
11 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: nelūdz par šiem ļaudīm, tiem par labu.
Then said the Lord unto me, Pray not in behalf of this people for their good.
12 Jebšu tie gavē, taču Es viņu brēkšanu neklausīšu, un jebšu tie upurē dedzināmus upurus un ēdamus upurus, tad Man tomēr pie tiem nebūs labs prāts, bet caur zobenu un caur badu un caur mēri Es tos izdeldēšu.
When they fast, I will not hear their entreaty: and when they offer burnt-offering and meat-offering, I will not receive them in favor; but by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence, will I make an end of them.
13 Tad es sacīju: ak Kungs, Dievs! Redzi, pravieši saka uz tiem: jūs neredzēsiet zobenu, un bads jūs neaizņems, bet es jums došu īstenu mieru šinī vietā.
Then said I, Ah, Lord Eternal! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but a permanent peace will I give you in this place.
14 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: tie pravieši sludina melus Manā Vārdā, Es tos neesmu sūtījis nedz tiem pavēlējis nedz uz tiem runājis. Tie jums sludina melu parādīšanu un zīlēšanu un nelietību un savu pašu sirds viltību.
Then said the Lord unto me, Falsehood do the prophets prophesy in my name; I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, neither have I spoken unto them: a vision of falsehood, and divination, and idolatrous folly, and the deceit of their heart do they prophesy unto you.
15 Tādēļ saka Tas Kungs tā par tiem praviešiem, kas Manā Vārdā sludina, ko Es neesmu sūtījis, un kas saka, zobens nebūs nedz bads šinī zemē: caur zobenu un caur badu šie pravieši taps aprīti.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, when I have not sent them, while they say, Sword and famine shall not come in this land: By the sword and by the famine shall these prophets come to their end.
16 Un tie ļaudis, kam šie sludina, gulēs uz Jeruzālemes ielām aiz bada un zobena, un nebūs, kas tos aprok ar viņu sievām un ar viņu dēliem un ar viņu meitām; tā Es viņu ļaunumu izgāzīšu pār viņiem.
And the people to whom they prophesy shall lie cast down in the streets of Jerusalem by means of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; for I will pour out their wickedness over them.
17 Tāpēc saki uz tiem šo vārdu: manas acis plūst asarām dienās un naktīs un nemitās; jo tā jaunava, manu ļaužu meita, ir satriekta ar lielu triecienu, ar varen lielu mocību.
But thou shalt say unto them this word. My eyes shall run down with tears night and day, and they shall not cease; for with a great breach is the virgin-daughter of my people broken, with a very painful blow.
18 Kad es izeju laukā, tad redzi, tur ir zobena nokauti, kad es nāku pilsētā, tad redzi, tur guļ badu miruši. Un pravieši un priesteri iet apkārt pa zemi, ko tie nepazīst.
If I go forth into the field, behold, there are the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, behold, there are those that are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest travel round into a land that they know not.
19 Vai tad Tu Jūdu pavisam esi atmetis, jeb vai Tava dvēsele Ciānu apnikusi? Kāpēc Tu mūs esi sitis, ka mums dziedināšanas vairs nav? Gaida uz mieru, bet labuma nav, un uz dziedināšanas laiku, bet redzi, izbailes.
Hast thou entirely rejected Judah? or hath thy soul loathing on Zion? why hast thou smitten us, so that there is no healing for us? we hoped for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold, there is terror!
20 Kungs, mēs atzīstam savu bezdievību un savu tēvu noziegumu, ka pret tevi esam grēkojuši.
We know, O Lord, our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee.
21 Neatmet mūs Tava Vārda dēļ, un lai Tavs godības krēsls netop nievāts; piemini un neiznīcini Savu derību ar mums.
Do not cast us off, for the sake of thy name, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
22 Vai ir starp pagānu elkiem, kas liek lietum līt, jeb vai debess var dot lietu? Vai Tu tas neesi, ak Kungs, mūsu Dievs? Tāpēc mēs uz Tevi gribam gaidīt, jo Tu dari visas šīs lietas.
Are there any among the vanities of the nations those that bestow rain? or can the heavens give forth showers? Behold, thou art this, O Lord our God, and we will hope in thee; for thou hast done all these things.
