Jeremijas 14
1 Šis ir Tā Kunga vārds, kas noticis uz Jeremiju, par to bula(sausuma) laiku.
The word of Jehovah, which came to Jeremiah concerning a drought.
2 Jūda bēdājās, un viņa vārti tvīkst, sērodamies tie guļ pie zemes, un Jeruzālemes brēkšana kāpj uz augšu.
Judah mourneth, And the gates thereof languish; They are in deep mourning upon the ground. And the cry of Jerusalem goeth up.
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.
The nobles send their younger ones for water; They come to the wells, they find none; They return with their vessels empty; They are ashamed and confounded; They cover their heads.
4 Tāpēc ka zeme iztrūkusies, ka lietus nav virs zemes, arāji ir nokaunējušies, apsedz savu galvu.
Because of the ground, which is in consternation, No rain falling upon the earth, The husbandmen are ashamed, They hide their heads.
5 Pat stirna laukā atnesās un atstāj (savus bērnus), tāpēc ka zāles nav.
Even the hind in the field is delivered, And deserteth her young, Because there is no grass.
6 Un meža ēzeļi stāv pakalnos un tvarsta vēju, kā tuksneša vilki; viņu acis pamirst, tāpēc ka zāles nav.
The wild asses stand upon the hills, They snuff up the wind like jackals; Their eyes fail, Because there is no grass.
7 Ak Kungs, jebšu mūsu noziegumi liecina pret mums, tomēr palīdzi Tava Vārda dēļ, jo mūsu atkāpšanās ir liela, pret Tevi esam grēkojuši.
Though our iniquities testify against us, Yet do thou, O Jehovah, act from a regard to thine own name. For our transgressions have been many; We have sinned against thee.
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 the time of trouble, Why wilt thou be as a stranger in the land, As a traveller who spreadeth his tent to pass the 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 wilt thou be as a man that is amazed, As a hero that cannot save? Thou art in the midst of us, O Jehovah, And we are called by thy name; Do not forsake us!
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 saith Jehovah concerning this people: Thus they love to wander, They restrain not their feet; Therefore Jehovah doth not accept them; Now will he remember their iniquities, And punish their sins.
11 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: nelūdz par šiem ļaudīm, tiem par labu.
Then said Jehovah to me: Pray not for 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.
Though they fast, I will not hear their cry; Though they offer burnt-offerings and flour-offerings, I will not accept them; But by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, I will 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, Alas! O Lord Jehovah! Behold, the prophets say to them, “Ye shall not see the sword, Nor shall famine come upon you; But Jehovah will give you lasting peace 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 Jehovah to me: The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I have not sent them, nor commissioned them, nor spoken to them; A false vision, and divination, and vanity, And the fraud of their hearts, do they prophesy to 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 saith Jehovah concerning the prophets Who prophesy in my name, though I sent them not, But who themselves say, “The sword and famine shall not be in this land”: By the sword and by famine shall those prophets be consumed.
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 be cast forth in the streets of Jerusalem By means of famine and the sword; And they shall have none to bury them, —They, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; For I will pour their wickedness upon 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.
Thus also shalt thou speak to them: My eyes shall run down with tears night and day; They shall not cease; For a deep wound hath she received, The virgin daughter of my people, A deadly 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 fields, Then behold them that are slain by the sword! And if I enter the city, Then behold them that pine with famine! Both prophet and priest wander about the land, they know not whither.
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 utterly rejected Judah? Doth thy soul abhor Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, so that there is no healing for us! We look for peace, and there is no good, For a time of healing, and behold, terror!
20 Kungs, mēs atzīstam savu bezdievību un savu tēvu noziegumu, ka pret tevi esam grēkojuši.
We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, And 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 spurn us, for thy name's sake! Do not dishonor thy glorious throne! Call to mind, 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 among the vanities of the nations any that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou he, O Jehovah, our God? Therefore in thee will we trust, For thou hast made all these things!
