< Jeremijas 19 >
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: ej un pērc sev no podnieka māla krūzi, un ņem pie sevis kādus no ļaužu vecajiem un no priesteru vecajiem.
Thus said the LORD, “Go, and buy a potter’s earthen container, and take some of the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests;
2 Un ej ārā uz Ben-Inoma ieleju, kas ir priekš Ķieģeļu vārtiem, un sludini tur tos vārdus, ko Es uz tevi runāšu,
and go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I will tell you.
3 Un saki: klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, Jūda ķēniņi un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji! Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: redzi, Es vedīšu nelaimi pār šo vietu, no kā visiem, kas to dzirdēs, ausīs skanēs.
Say, ‘Hear the LORD’s word, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will tingle.
4 Tāpēc ka tie Mani atstāj un šo vietu svešiem nodevuši un tur kvēpinājuši svešiem dieviem, ko ne viņi, ne viņu tēvi, ne Jūda ķēniņi nav pazinuši, un to vietu piepildījuši ar nenoziedzīgām asinīm,
Because they have forsaken me, and have defiled this place, and have burnt incense in it to other gods that they didn’t know—they, their fathers, and the kings of Judah—and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
5 Un Baālam uztaisījuši altārus un savus bērnus ar uguni sadedzinājuši Baālam par dedzināmiem upuriem, ko Es neesmu pavēlējis, un neesmu runājis, un kas Man nav nācis sirdī.
and have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I didn’t command, nor speak, which didn’t even enter into my mind.
6 Tādēļ, redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka šī vieta vairs netaps nosaukta Tovete vai Ben-Inoma ieleja, bet slepkavu ieleja.
Therefore, behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that this place will no more be called ‘Topheth’, nor ‘The Valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’.
7 Jo Es iznīcināšu Jūda un Jeruzālemes padomu šinī vietā, un tiem likšu krist caur zobenu priekš viņu ienaidniekiem un caur to rokām, kas viņu dvēseli meklē, un Es nodošu viņu miesas par barību putniem apakš debess un zvēriem virs zemes.
“‘“I will make the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem void in this place. I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.
8 Un šo pilsētu Es likšu par posta vietu un par apsmieklu; visi, kas iet garām, tie iztrūksies un svilpos par visām viņu mokām.
I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
9 Un Es tiem došu ēst viņu dēlu miesas un viņu meitu miesas, un tie ēdīs ikviens sava tuvāka miesas tais bēdās un bailēs, ar ko tos spaidīs viņu ienaidnieki un kas viņu dvēseles meklē.
I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. They will each eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, will distress them.”’
10 Tad tev to krūzi būs sadauzīt priekš to vīru acīm, kas tev gājuši līdz,
“Then you shall break the container in the sight of the men who go with you,
11 Un uz tiem sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: tāpat es šos ļaudis un šo pilsētu sadauzīšu, tā kā sadauza māla trauku, kas vairs nevar vesels tapt, un Tovetē raks līķus, tāpēc ka citas kapu vietas nebūs.
and shall tell them, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “Even so I will break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that can’t be made whole again. They will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.
12 Tā es šai vietai darīšu, saka Tas Kungs, un viņas iedzīvotājiem, un darīšu šo pilsētu kā Toveti.
This is what I will do to this place,” says the LORD, “and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth.
13 Un Jeruzālemes nami un Jūda ķēniņu nami būs sagānīti, tā kā Tovetes vieta, un visi tie nami, uz kuru jumtiem tie kvēpinājuši visam debess spēkam un dzeramus upurus upurējuši svešiem dieviem.
The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, will be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burnt incense to all the army of the sky and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.”’”
14 Kad nu Jeremija no Tovetes pārnāca, kurp Tas Kungs viņu bija sūtījis sludināt, tad viņš nostājās Tā Kunga nama pagalmā un sacīja uz visu tautu:
Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of the LORD’s house, and said to all the people:
15 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: redzi, Es likšu nākt pār šo pilsētu un visām viņas pilsētām visai nelaimei, ko Es par to esmu runājis, tādēļ ka tie savu pakausi apcietinājuši un Manus Vārdus nav klausījuši.
“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’”
