Jeremijas 22
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: noej Jūda ķēniņa namā un runā tur šo vārdu
Thus said Jehovah, 'Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and thou hast spoken there this word, and hast said,
2 Un saki: klausi Tā Kunga vārdu, Jūda ķēniņ, kas sēdi Dāvida goda krēslā, tu un tavi kalpi un tavi ļaudis, visi, kas ieejat pa šiem vārtiem.
Hear a word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, who art sitting on the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people, who are coming in at these gates,
3 Tā saka Tas Kungs: nesiet tiesu un taisnību un izglābiet aplaupīto no spaidītāja rokas, un neplēšat svešinieku, bāriņu, atraitni, nedariet varas darbu un neizlejat šai vietā nenoziedzīgas asinis.
Thus said Jehovah: Do ye judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, ye do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood ye do not shed in this place.
4 Jo kad jūs tā darīsiet, tad pa šā nama vārtiem ieies ķēniņi, kas sēdēs uz Dāvida goda krēsla, un brauks ar ratiem un zirgiem, pats un viņa kalpi un viņa ļaudis.
For, if ye certainly do this thing, Then come in by the gates of this house Have kings sitting for David on his throne, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
5 Bet ja jūs šos vārdus neklausīsiet, tad Es pie Sevis esmu zvērējis, saka Tas Kungs, ka šim namam būs palikt par posta vietu.
And if ye do not hear these words, By myself I have sworn — an affirmation of Jehovah, That this house is for a desolation.
6 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs par Jūda ķēniņa namu: tu Man esi kā Gileāda, kā Lībanus galva, bet tiešām, Es tevi darīšu par tuksnesi un tās pilsētas bez iedzīvotājiem.
For thus said Jehovah, Concerning the house of the king of Judah: Gilead [art] thou to Me — head of Lebanon, If not — I make thee a wilderness, Cities not inhabited.
7 Jo Es pret tevi iecelšu postītājus, ikvienu ar saviem ieročiem; tie nocirtīs tavus labākos ciedru kokus un tos metīs ugunī.
And I have separated for thee destroyers, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of thy cedars, And have cast them on the fire.
8 Tad daudz pagānu šai pilsētai ies garām un sacīs cits uz citu: kādēļ Tas Kungs šai lielai pilsētai tā darījis?
And many nations have passed by this city, And they have said, each to his neighbour, For what hath Jehovah done thus to this great city?
9 Un tie sacīs: tādēļ ka tie atstājuši Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, derību un zemē metušies priekš citiem dieviem un tiem kalpojuši.
And they have said, 'Because that they have forsaken The covenant of Jehovah their God, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.'
10 Neraudiet par nomirušo un nežēlojiet viņu; raudiet raudādami par to, kas aiziet, jo tas neatgriezīsies atpakaļ, redzēt savas dzimtenes zemi.
Ye do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep ye sore for the traveller, For he doth not return again, Nor hath he seen the land of his birth.
11 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs par Šallumu, Josijas dēlu, Jūda ķēniņu, kas valda sava tēva Josijas vietā, kas no šās vietas aizgājis: viņš vairs negriezīsies atpakaļ,
For thus said Jehovah concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of Josiah his father, who hath gone forth from this place: He doth not turn back hither again;
12 Bet tai vietā, kurp tie viņu aizveduši, viņš mirs un šo zemi viņš vairs neredzēs.
For in the place whither they have removed him he dieth, And this land he doth not see again.
13 Vai tam, kas savu namu uztaisa ar netaisnību un savas istabas ar viltu, kas savam tuvākam liek velti strādāt, un tam nedod savu algu,
Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, On his neighbour he layeth service for nought, And his wage he doth not give to him.
14 Kas domā: es sev uztaisīšu augstu namu un plašas istabas, un liek sev logus izcirst un ar ciedru kokiem apsegt un ar sarkanumu apsvaidīt.
Who is saying, 'I build for myself a large house, And airy upper chambers,' And he hath cut out for himself its windows, Ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15 Vai tu domā valdīt, tādēļ ka tu ar ciedru kokiem greznojies? Vai tavs tēvs neēda un nedzēra un darīja tiesu un taisnību? Tad viņam labi klājās.
Dost thou reign, because thou art fretting thyself in cedar? Thy father — did he not eat and drink? Yea, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
16 Viņš izdeva tiesu nabagam un bēdīgam, tad viņam labi klājās. Vai tas nav mani atzīt? saka Tas Kungs.
He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well — is it not to know Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.
17 Bet tavas acis un tava sirds uz citu neskatās kā vien mantu krāt un nenoziedzīgas asinis izliet, apspiest un darīt varas darbu.
But thine eyes and thy heart are not, Except on thy dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.
18 Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs par Jojaķimu, Josijas, Jūda ķēniņa dēlu: par to nevaidēs: vai, mans brāli! Vai, mana māsa! par to nevaidēs: vai, kungs! Vai, cienīgais.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: They do not lament for him, Ah, my brother, and Ah, sister, They do not lament for him, Ah, lord, and Ah, his honour.
19 Bet kā ēzeli aprok, tā viņu apraks, un viņš taps rauts un izmests tālu no Jeruzālemes vārtiem.
The burial of an ass — he is buried, Dragged and cast out thence to the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Kāp uz Lībanu un sauc un pacel savu balsi Basanā un brēc no Abarima, jo visi tavi mīluļi ir satriekti.
Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And in Bashan give forth thy voice, And cry from Abarim, For destroyed have been all loving thee.
21 Es runāju uz tevi, kad tev vēl labi klājās, bet tu sacīji: es neklausīšu. Tas ir tavs ceļš no pašas jaunības, ka tu Manu balsi neesi klausījis
I have spoken unto thee in thine ease, Thou hast said, 'I do not hearken,' This [is] thy way from thy youth, For thou hast not hearkened to My voice.
22 Vējš aizraus visus tavus ganus, un tavi mīluļi ies cietumā; tad tu tiešām tapsi kaunā un par apsmieklu visas savas blēdības dēļ.
All thy friends consume doth wind, And thy lovers into captivity do go, Surely then thou art ashamed, And hast blushed for all thy wickedness.
23 Tu uz Lībanus dzīvo un ciedru kokos taisi ligzdas, kā tev klāsies, kad tev sāpes uzies, mokas, kā dzemdētājai?
O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious hast thou been when pangs come to thee, Pain — as of a travailing woman.
24 Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs: kaut arī Kanija, Jojaķima dēls, Jūda ķēniņš, būtu pie Manas labās rokas spiežamais gredzens, tomēr Es tevi no tejienes aizraušu.
I live — an affirmation of Jehovah, Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah Were a seal on My right hand, Surely thence I draw thee away,
25 Un Es tevi nodošu rokā tiem, kas tavu dvēseli meklē, un tiem rokā, priekš kā vaiga tu bīsties, proti Nebukadnecera, Bābeles ķēniņa, un Kaldeju rokā.
And I have given thee into the hand of those seeking thy life, And into hands of which thou art afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Un Es izmetīšu tevi un tavu māti, kas tevi dzemdējusi, uz citu zemi, kur jūs neesiet dzimuši, un tur jums būs jāmirst.
And I have cast thee, And thy mother who bore thee, unto another country, Where ye were not born, and there do ye die.
27 Un tai zemē, kurp viņu dvēselei gribēsies atpakaļ griezties, turp tie neatgriezīsies.
And to the land whither they are lifting up their soul to return, Thither they do not return.
28 Vai šis vīrs Kanija ir viens nieka sadauzāms pods, jeb vai viņš trauks, kas nevienam nepatīk? Kāpēc viņš un viņa dzimums atmesti uz to zemi, ko tie nepazīst?
A grief — a despised broken thing — is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Wherefore have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Yea, they were cast on to a land that they knew not?
29 Ak zeme, zeme, zeme! Klausi Tā Kunga vārdu!
Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of Jehovah,
30 Tā saka Tas Kungs: pieraksti šo vīru par neauglīgu, par vīru, kam savu mūžu labi neizdosies. Jo nevienam no viņa dzimuma labi neklāsies, kas varētu sēdēt uz Dāvida goda krēsla un turpmāk valdīt pār Jūdu.
Thus said Jehovah: Write ye this man childless, A man — he doth not prosper in his days, For none of his seed doth prosper, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling again in Judah!
