Jeremijas 17
1 Jūda grēki ir rakstīti ar dzelzs rakstāmo, ar dimanta asmeni, tie ir ierakstīti viņu sirds galdā un uz jūsu altāru ragiem,
[Yahweh said, “It is as though a list of] the sins [committed by the people of] Judah is engraved with an iron chisel, or engraved using the fine point of a very hard stone, on the altars [where they worship idols]. And [it is as though] this list is engraved on their inner beings!
2 Tā ka viņu bērni piemin savus altārus un savas Ašeras pie zaļiem kokiem uz augstiem pakalniem.
[Even] their children are happy to go to the altars [to worship their gods], and to the poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah [at which their parents worshiped], shrines that are underneath all the big trees and on [all] the high hills.
3 Bet Es Savu kalnu līdz ar to tīrumu, tavu padomu un visas tavas mantas nodošu par laupījumu līdz ar taviem elku kalniem, to grēku dēļ, kas visās tavās robežās.
So, I will allow your enemies to capture [Zion], your holy hill, and all your wealth and your (treasures/valuable things), and [even] the shrines on all those hills, because of the sins that you people have committed throughout your land.
4 Tā tu caur savu paša vainu no savas daļas tapsi izdzīts, ko Es tev biju devis. Un Es tev likšu kalpot taviem ienaidniekiem zemē, ko tu nepazīsti; jo jūs Manas bardzības uguni esat iededzinājuši, kas degs mūžīgi.
The [wonderful] land that I gave to you will no longer belong to you. I will tell your enemies to take you to a land that you do not know about, and you will become their slaves. [I will do that] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] a fire that will burn forever.”
5 Tā saka Tas Kungs: Nolādēts tas cilvēks, kas paļaujas uz cilvēkiem un ieceļ miesu par savu elkoni, un kā sirds no Tā Kunga atkāpjās.
This is [also] what Yahweh says: “[I] will curse/condemn those who trust in human beings [to help them], those who rely on their own strength and turn away from me.
6 Jo tas būs tā kā vientulis koks klajumā un neredzēs labumu nākam, bet paliek izkaltušās tuksneša vietās, neauglīgā zemē, kur neviens nedzīvo.
They are like [dry] bushes in the desert, they are people who will not experience any good things. Those people will live in the barren desert in a salty area, where nothing grows.
7 Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas uz To Kungu paļaujas, un kura cerība ir Tas Kungs.
But I am pleased with those who trust in [me], Yahweh, and who confidently expect [me to take care of them].
8 Jo tas būs kā koks, kas pie ūdens dēstīts, kas savas saknes izlaiž pie upes un nejūt, kad karstums nāk; viņa lapas paliek zaļas, un sausā gadā viņš nebēdā un nemitās augļus nest.
Those people are like [SIM] fruit trees that have been planted along a riverbank, trees that have roots that go down into the [wet ground beside] the water. They are trees whose leaves remain green when it becomes hot, trees that continue to bear fruit when there are many months in which there is no rain.
9 Sirds ir viltīga pār visām lietām un samaitāta, kas to var izzināt?
Human minds are extremely corrupt/deceitful, and you cannot change that. It is also completely impossible [RHQ] for anyone to understand that.
10 Es, Tas Kungs, izmanu sirdi un pārbaudu īkstis un dodu ikvienam pēc viņa ceļiem, pēc viņa darbu augļiem.
But I, Yahweh, search what is in everyone’s inner being, and I examine what they are thinking. I will give all people rewards, what they deserve for what they have done.”
11 Tā kā irbe perē olas, ko nav dējusi, tāpat ir, kas bagātību sakrāj, bet ne ar taisnību; pusmūžā viņam tā jāatstāj un galā viņš ir ģeķis.
[I, Jeremiah, agree, because I know that] people who become rich by doing things that are unjust are like birds that hatch eggs that they (did not lay/stole from another nest). So, when those people have lived only half of the years [that they expect to live], their wealth will disappear. Then [other people will realize that] those rich people have been foolish.
12 Bet Tu godības sēdeklis, augsts no iesākuma, mūsu svētuma vieta,
Yahweh, your temple is [like] a glorious throne that is still on a high hill.
13 Ak Kungs, Tu Israēla cerība, visi, kas Tevi atstāj, taps kaunā! “Tie, kas no Manis atkāpjas, taps zemē rakstīti, jo tie atstāj To Kungu, to dzīvā ūdens avotu.”
You are the one whom [we] Israeli people confidently expect [to bless us], and all those who turn away from you will be disgraced. Their names will be written [only] in the dust, [and will soon disappear], because they have abandoned you, [who are like] [MET] a fountain where people obtain fresh water.
14 Dziedini mani, ak Kungs, tad es būšu dziedināts, atpestī mani, tad es būšu atpestīts, jo tu esi mana slava.
Yahweh, [please] heal me, because [if you heal me], I will truly be healed. [If you] rescue me, I will truly be safe, because you are the [only] one whom I praise.
15 Redzi, tie uz mani saka: kur ir Tā Kunga vārds? Lai jel nāk.
People often ridicule me and say, “You tell us messages that you say came from Yahweh, but (why have the things that you predicted not happened?/those predictions have not come true!)” [RHQ]
16 Bet es neesmu liedzies, par ganu būt, Tev pakaļ iet, un nelaimes dienas es neesmu vēlējies. Tu to zini: kas no manas mutes izgājis, tas ir atklāts Tavā priekšā.
Yahweh, you [appointed me to take care of your people like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; I have not abandoned that work, and you know that I have not [previously] wanted this time of disaster [to come to people who ridicule me]. And you know everything that I have said [MTY] [to your people].
17 Neesi man par briesmām! Tu esi mans patvērums ļaunā dienā.
Do not cause me to be terrified! When disasters come/occur, you are the one to whom I will go to be safe.
18 Lai mani vajātāji top kaunā, bet lai es netopu kaunā; lai tie top iztrūcināti, bet lai es netopu iztrūcināts; lai nāk pār tiem nelaimes diena, un satriec tos ar divkārtīgu satriekšanu.
[So now], cause those who (persecute me/cause me to suffer) to be ashamed and dismayed, but do not [do things to me that will] cause me to be ashamed and dismayed. Cause them to be terrified! Do to them many things that will completely destroy them!
19 Tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacīs: ej un stāvi ļaužu vārtos, kur Jūda ķēniņi ieiet, un kur tie iziet, un visos Jeruzālemes vārtos,
This is what Yahweh said to me: “Go to the city gates in Jerusalem. [First] go to the gate where the kings of Judah go in and out of the city, and [then] go to each of the [other] gates.
20 Un saki uz tiem: klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, Jūda ķēniņi, un visa Jūda cilts, un visi Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji, kas pa šiem vārtiem ieejat.
Say to the people [at each gate], ‘You kings of Judah and everyone [else] who is living in Jerusalem and all [you other people of] Judah who enter these gates, listen to this message from Yahweh!
21 Tā saka Tas Kungs: sargājaties par savām dvēselēm, un nenesiet nekādu nastu svētdienā, un nevediet nekā pa Jeruzālemes vārtiem.
He says, “Listen to this warning carefully! [Stop doing work] on (Sabbath/our rest) days! Stop carrying loads through these gates [on those days]!
22 Un neiznesiet nastas no saviem namiem svētdienā un nedariet nekādu darbu, bet svētījiet to svēto dienu, kā Es jūsu tēviem esmu pavēlējis.
Do not carry loads out of your houses or do any [other] work on Sabbath days! Instead, cause Sabbath days to be (holy/set apart for me). I commanded your ancestors to do that,
23 Bet tie nav klausījuši nedz savas ausis atgriezuši, bet tie bijuši stūrgalvīgi un nav klausījuši un mācību nav pieņēmuši.
but they did not listen to me or obey me. When I did things to correct them, they stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said or to accept it.
24 Tad nu tā notiks: ja jūs Mani klausīt klausīsiet, saka Tas Kungs, un nenesīsiet nastas pa šīs pilsētas vārtiem svētdienā, un svētīsiet to svēto dienu, tai dienā nekādu darbu nedarīdami,
But I say that if you obey me, and if you do not carry loads through these gates [on Sabbath days] or do any other work on Sabbath days, and if you dedicate the Sabbath days to me,
25 Tad pa šīs pilsētas vārtiem ies ķēniņi un lielkungi, kas sēž uz Dāvida goda krēsla un brauks ar ratiem un zirgiem, tie un viņu lielkungi, Jūda vīri un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji, un šī pilsēta stāvēs mūžīgi.
kings of Judah [MTY] and [their] officials will [continue to] go in and out of these gates. There will [always] be someone who is a descendant of [MTY] [King] David ruling [here] [MTY] in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates, riding in chariots and on horses, and there will be people living in this city forever.
26 Un nāks no Jūda pilsētām un no Jeruzālemes apkārtnes un no Benjamina zemes un no lejas un no kalniem un no dienvidiem(Negebas) un atnesīs dedzināmu upuri un kaujamu upuri un ēdamu upuri un vīraku, un pienesīs teikšanas upuri Tā Kunga namā.
And people will come [to Jerusalem] bringing offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings. They will bring to the temple grain offerings and incense and offerings to thank [me]. People will bring those offerings from the towns in Judah and the villages near Jerusalem and from the land [where the tribe] of Benjamin [lives] and from the western foothills and from the desert in the south.
27 Bet ja jūs Mani neklausīsiet, svēto dienu nesvētīdami un svētdienā nastas nesdami pa Jeruzālemes vārtiem, tad Es viņas vārtos iededzināšu uguni, kas aprīs Jeruzālemes skaistos namus un neizdzisīs.
But if you do not pay attention to what I say, and if you refuse to dedicate the Sabbath days to me, and if you [continue to] carry loads through these gates into the city on Sabbath days, I will burn these gates completely. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out that fire.”’”
