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 which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, 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.
Enquire, I pray you, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon makes war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
3 Tad Jeremija uz tiem sacīja: sakāt tā Cedeķijam:
Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall all of you 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 God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith all of you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into 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 fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, 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, both man and beast: they shall die of 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, says the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
8 Un uz šiem ļaudīm tev būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es jums lieku priekšā dzīvības ceļu un nāves ceļu.
And unto 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.
He that abides in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goes out, and falls to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
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 shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 Un par Jūda ķēniņa namu klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu:
And concerning the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear all of you 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; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
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 inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, says the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
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 punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
