Jeremijas 21
1 Šis ir tas vārds, kas notika uz Jeremiju no Tā Kunga, kad ķēniņš Cedeķija pie viņa sūtīja Pašhuru, Malhijas dēlu, un priesteri Cefaniju, Maāsejas dēlu, un sacīja:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to him, saying:
2 Vaicā jel To Kungu par mums; jo Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, pret mums karo. Varbūt ka Tas Kungs ar mums darīs pēc saviem brīnumiem, ka šis no mums atstātos.
“Question the Lord on our behalf, for Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, is fighting against us. Perhaps it may be that the Lord will act toward us according to all his wonders, and he may withdraw from us.”
3 Tad Jeremija uz tiem sacīja: sakāt tā Cedeķijam:
And Jeremiah said to them: “This is what you shall say to Zedekiah:
4 Tā saka Tas Kungs Israēla Dievs: redzi, Es griezīšu atpakaļ tos kara ieročus, kas ir jūsu rokās, ar ko jūs karojat pret Bābeles ķēniņu un pret Kaldejiem, kas pret jums ārpus mūriem apmetušies, un tos sapulcināšu šīs pilsētas vidū.
Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans, who besiege you at the surrounding walls. And I will gather these things together in the midst of this city.
5 Un Es pats pret jums karošu ar izstieptu roku un ar stipru elkoni un ar bardzību un ar karstumu un lielām dusmām.
And I myself will make war against you: with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, and in fury, and in indignation, and in great wrath.
6 Un Es kaušu šās pilsētas iedzīvotājus, gan cilvēkus, gan lopus; caur lielu mēri tiem būs mirt.
And I will strike the inhabitants of this city; men and beasts will die from a great pestilence.
7 Un pēc tam, saka Tas Kungs, Es nodošu Cedeķiju, Jūda ķēniņu, un viņa kalpus un tos ļaudis, kas šai pilsētā atlikuši no mēra, no zobena un no bada, Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, rokā un viņu ienaidnieku rokā un to rokā, kas viņu dzīvību meklē. Un viņš tos sitīs ar zobena asmeni, viņš tos nesaudzēs, netaupīs, nežēlos.
And afterward, thus says the Lord: I will give Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his servants, and his people, and those who have been left behind in this city after pestilence and the sword and famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their lives. And he will strike them with the edge of the sword. And he will not waver, and he will not be lenient, and he will not take pity.
8 Un uz šiem ļaudīm tev būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es jums lieku priekšā dzīvības ceļu un nāves ceļu.
And to this people, you shall say: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 Kas šai pilsētā paliek, tie mirs caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri. Bet kas iziet un dodas pie tiem Kaldejiem, kas pret jums ir apmetušies, tas dzīvos un mantos savu dvēseli.
Whoever lives in this city will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. But whoever will have departed and fled away to the Chaldeans, who besiege you, will live, and his life will be to him like a spoil.
10 Jo Es Savu vaigu esmu griezis pret šo pilsētu par ļaunu un ne par labu, saka Tas Kungs; tā Bābeles ķēniņam taps rokā dota un viņš to sadedzinās ar uguni.
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, says the Lord. It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
11 Un par Jūda ķēniņa namu klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu:
And to the house of the king of Judah, you shall say: Listen to the word of the Lord,
12 Ak Dāvida nams, tā saka Tas Kungs, nesiet ik rītu tiesu un izglābiet aplaupīto no spaidītāja rokas, ka Mana dusmība neizšaujās kā uguns un nedeg, ka neviens nevar dzēst, jūsu darbu ļaunuma dēļ.
O house of David! Thus says the Lord: Judge with judgment from early morning, and rescue anyone who is oppressed by violence from the hand of a false accuser. Otherwise, my indignation may go forth like a fire, and may flare up, and there will be no one who can extinguish it, because of the evil of your intentions.
13 Redzi, Es celšos pret tevi, kas dzīvo ielejā, tu klajuma klints, saka Tas Kungs, pret jums, kas teiciet: kas mums varētu uzbrukt vai nākt mūsu māju vietās?
Behold, I am against you, O inhabitants of a valley with firm and level ground, says the Lord. And you say: ‘Who can strike us? And who can enter into our houses?’
14 Es jūs piemeklēšu pēc jūsu darbu augļiem, saka Tas Kungs, un Es iededzināšu viņas mežā uguni, tas aprīs visu viņas apkārtni.
But I will visit against you according to the fruit of your intentions, says the Lord. And I will kindle a fire in its forest. And it shall devour everything around it.”
