Jeremijas 14
1 Šis ir Tā Kunga vārds, kas noticis uz Jeremiju, par to bula(sausuma) laiku.
This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah regarding the drought,
2 Jūda bēdājās, un viņa vārti tvīkst, sērodamies tie guļ pie zemes, un Jeruzālemes brēkšana kāpj uz augšu.
“Let Judah mourn; let her gates fall apart. They are wailing for the land; their cries for Jerusalem are going 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.
Their mighty ones send out their servants for water. When they go to the trenches, they cannot find water. They all return unsuccessful; they cover their heads ashamed and dishonored.
4 Tāpēc ka zeme iztrūkusies, ka lietus nav virs zemes, arāji ir nokaunējušies, apsedz savu galvu.
Because of this the ground is cracked, for there is no rain in the land. The plowmen are ashamed and cover their heads.
5 Pat stirna laukā atnesās un atstāj (savus bērnus), tāpēc ka zāles nav.
For even the doe leaves her young in the fields and abandons them, for 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 donkeys stand on the bare plains and they pant in the wind like jackals. Their eyes fail to work, for there is no vegetation.”
7 Ak Kungs, jebšu mūsu noziegumi liecina pret mums, tomēr palīdzi Tava Vārda dēļ, jo mūsu atkāpšanās ir liela, pret Tevi esam grēkojuši.
Even though our iniquities testify against us, Yahweh, act for the sake of your name. For our faithless actions increase; we have sinned against you.
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?
You are the Hope of Israel, the one who saves him in the time of distress, why will you be like a stranger in the land, like a foreign wanderer who stretches out and spends just one 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 are you like someone who is astounded, or like a warrior who has no power to rescue? You are in our midst, Yahweh, and your name is called over us. Do not leave 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.
Yahweh says this to this people: “Since they love to wander, they have not held back their feet from doing so.” Yahweh is not pleased with them. Now he calls to mind their iniquity and has punished their sins.
11 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: nelūdz par šiem ļaudīm, tiem par labu.
Yahweh said to me, “Do not pray for good on behalf of this people.
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.
For if they fast, I will not listen to their wailing, and if they offer up burnt offerings and food offerings, I will not take pleasure in them. For I will put an end to them by sword, famine, and plague.”
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 I said, “Oh, Lord Yahweh! Behold! The prophets are saying to the people, 'You will not see the sword; there will be no famine for you, for I will give you true security 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.
Yahweh said to me, “The prophets prophesy deceit in my name. I did not send them out, nor did I give them any command or speak to them. But deceitful visions and useless, deceitful divination coming from their own minds are what they are prophesying 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 Yahweh says this, “About the prophets prophesying in my name but whom I did not send out—those who say there will be no sword or famine in this land: These prophets will perish by sword and famine.
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.
Then the people to whom they prophesied will be thrown out in the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and sword, for there will be no one to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters—for I will pour out their wickedness on 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.
Say this word to them: 'Let my eyes flow with tears, night and day. Do not let them stop, for there will be a great collapse of the virgin daughter of my people— a great and incurable wound.
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 out to the field, there are the ones who were killed by the sword! If I come to the city, there are the diseases that are caused by famine. Both the prophet and the priest wander about the land, and they do not know.'”
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.
Have you completely rejected Judah? Do you hate Zion? Why will you afflict us when there is no healing for us? We hoped for peace, but there was nothing good— and for a time of healing, but see, there is only terror.
20 Kungs, mēs atzīstam savu bezdievību un savu tēvu noziegumu, ka pret tevi esam grēkojuši.
We admit, Yahweh, our offenses, the iniquity of our ancestors, for we have sinned against you.
21 Neatmet mūs Tava Vārda dēļ, un lai Tavs godības krēsls netop nievāts; piemini un neiznīcini Savu derību ar mums.
Do not reject us! For the sake of your name, do not make your glorious throne a disgrace. Remember and do not break your 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.
Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Or can the skies themselves send down showers? Are you not the one, Yahweh our God? We wait for you, for you are the one who does all these things.
