Jeremijas 23
1 Ak vai, jums, gani, kas Manas ganības avis nomaitājat un izklīdinājāt, saka Tas Kungs.
What trouble is coming to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! declares the Lord.
2 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, par tiem ganiem, kas Manus ļaudis gana: Jūs Manas avis esat izklīdinājuši un tās esat izdzinuši un par tām neesiet zinājuši. Redzi! Es jūs piemeklēšu jūsu ļauno darbu dēļ, saka Tas Kungs.
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the shepherds who were meant to look after my people: You have scattered my flock. You have chased them away You didn't take care of them, so now I will take care of you for all the evil you've done, declares the Lord.
3 Un Es pats sapulcināšu Savas atlikušās avis no visām zemēm, kurp tās esmu izdzinis, un tās atkal atvedīšu uz viņu ganībām, un tās būs auglīgas un vairosies.
I myself will gather what's left of my flock from all the countries where I exiled them, and I will bring them back to their pasture, where they will increase in number.
4 Un Es pār tām iecelšu ganus, kas tās ganīs, un tās vairs nebīsies, nedz baiļosies, nedz taps piemeklētas, saka Tas Kungs.
I will put shepherds in charge of them who will take care of them, and they won't be afraid or discouraged anymore, and none of them will be missing, declares the Lord.
5 Redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, kad Es Dāvidam uzcelšu taisnības Atvasi, un Tas valdīs kā ķēniņš, un Viņam labi izdosies, un Viņš darīs tiesu un taisnību virs zemes.
Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will choose a descendant of David who does what is right. As king he will rule with wisdom and do what is just and right throughout the country.
6 Viņa laikā Jūda taps atpestīts un Israēls dzīvos droši. Un tas būs Viņa vārds, ar ko Viņš taps nosaukts: Tas Kungs mūsu taisnība.
When he is king, Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety. This is the name he will be called: The Lord Who Makes Us Right.
7 Tāpēc redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka vairs nesacīs: “Tik tiešām ka Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas Israēla bērnus izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes“,
Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when people won't say anymore, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites out of Egypt.”
8 Bet: „Tik tiešām, ka Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas Israēla nama dzimumu izvedis un atvedis no tās zemes pret ziemeļa pusi, un no visām zemēm, kurp Es to biju aizdzinis“, jo tie dzīvos savā zemē.
Instead they'll say, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites back from the northern country and all the other countries where he had exiled them.” Then they'll live in their own country.
9 Par tiem praviešiem mana sirds iekš manis ir salauzta, visi mani kauli dreb, es esmu kā piedzēris vīrs un kā vīrs, ko vīns pārvarējis Tā Kunga priekšā un priekš Viņa svētiem vārdiem.
When it comes to the prophets: I'm really disturbed—I'm shaking inside! I stagger like a drunk, like someone who's had too much wine, because of what the Lord is like, because of his holy words.
10 Jo zeme ir pilna laulības pārkāpēju, jo zeme bēdājās lāstu dēļ tuksneša ganības izkalst, tādēļ ka viņu ceļš ir ļauns, un viņu vara netaisna.
For the country is full of people committing adultery so it's under a curse. The land mourns and the desert pastures have dried up. The people live evil lives, using their energy to do wrong.
11 Jo tā pravietis kā priesteris ir nesvēti, pat Savā namā Es atrodu viņu blēdību, saka Tas Kungs.
Both prophets and priests show no respect for me. I see wickedness even in my Temple, declares the Lord.
12 Tāpēc viņu ceļš būs kā slidenums tumsībā, tur piedauzīsies un kritīs. Jo Es vedīšu pār tiem nelaimi viņu piemeklēšanas gadā, saka Tas Kungs.
That's why their path will become slippery; they will be chased away in the dark and fall down. I'm going to bring disaster on them at the time when they're punished, declares the Lord.
13 Pie tiem praviešiem Samarijā Es gan redzēju ģeķību, jo tie sludināja caur Baālu un pievīla Manus Israēla ļaudis.
I saw the prophets of Samaria doing something really offensive: They prophesied in the name of Baal and led my people Israel to sin.
14 Bet pie tiem praviešiem Jeruzālemē Es redzu negantību; tie pārkāpj laulību un tinās ar viltību un stiprina ļaundarītāju rokas, ka tie neatgriežas neviens no sava ļaunuma; tie visi Man ir kā Sodoma un viņas iedzīvotāji kā Gomora.
But now I see the prophets of Jerusalem doing something even more disgusting: They commit adultery and their lives are a lie. They support the wicked, so no one stops sinning. To me they're all like Sodom; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.
15 Tāpēc Tas Kungs Cebaot par šiem praviešiem tā saka: redzi, Es tos ēdināšu ar vērmelēm un tos dzirdināšu ar žultīm, jo no Jeruzālemes praviešiem bezkaunība izgājusi pa visu zemi.
So this is what the Lord Almighty says about the prophets: I will give them wormwood to eat and poisoned water to drink, because evil has spread across the country from the prophets of Jerusalem.
16 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: neklausiet to praviešu vārdiem, kas jums sludina; tie jūs ved nelietībā, tie runā savas sirds parādīšanu, ne no Tā Kunga mutes.
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Don't pay attention to what these prophets say when they prophesy to you. They're fooling you with visions they make up in their own minds. They're not from me.
17 Tie saka allažiņ uz tiem, kas Mani zaimo: Tas Kungs ir runājis, ka jums būs miers, un uz visiem, kas pēc savas sirds stūrgalvības staigā, tie saka: nelaime nenāks pār jums.
They keep on telling people who don't respect me, “The Lord says that you'll live in peace,” and to everyone following their own stubborn attitude, “Nothing bad is going to happen to you.”
18 Jo kas bijis Tā Kunga padoma devējs? Kas viņa vārdu redzējis vai dzirdējis? Kas viņa vārdu vērā ņēmis un klausījis?
But who of them has attended the Lord's council to hear and understand what he's saying? Who has paid attention to his instructions and followed them?
19 Redzi, Tā Kunga vētra celsies ar bardzību, un briesmīgs viesulis, tas gāzīsies bezdievīgiem uz galvu.
Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads of the wicked.
20 Tā Kunga bardzība negriezīsies atpakaļ, tiekams Viņš nebūs padarījis un piepildījis Savas sirds domas; nākamās dienās jūs to gan manīsiet.
The Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
21 Es nesūtīju praviešus, un tomēr tie tecēja; Es nerunāju, un tomēr tie sludināja.
I didn't send these prophets, but they run to deliver their messages. I didn't tell them to say anything, but they still go on prophesying.
22 Bet ja tie būtu stāvējuši Manā padomā, tad tie Manu vārdu būtu darījuši zināmu Maniem ļaudīm un tos būtu nogriezuši no viņu ļaunā ceļa un no viņu ļauniem darbiem.
Now if they had attended my council, they would have delivered my instructions to my people and brought them back from their evil way of life, from their evil actions.
23 Vai Es esmu Dievs, kas tikai ir tuvu, saka Tas Kungs, un neesmu arī Dievs, kas ir tālu?
Am I only a local God and not a God who operates widely? asks the Lord.
24 Vai kas laban arī var tverties apslēptās vietās, ka Es to neredzētu? saka Tas Kungs. Vai Es nepiepildu debesis un zemi? saka Tas Kungs.
Can people hide in secret places where I can't see them? asks the Lord. Don't I operate everywhere in heaven and on earth? asks the Lord.
25 Es to esmu dzirdējis, ko tie pravieši saka, kas Manā Vārdā sludina melus un saka: es esmu sapni redzējis, es esmu sapni redzējis.
I've listened to the prophets who prophesy lies in my name. They say, “I've had a dream! I've had a dream!”
26 Cik ilgi tas būs to praviešu sirdī, kas sludina melus un sludina savas sirds viltību,
How long will this continue? How long will these prophets go on prophesying these lies which are just the product of their own deluded minds?
27 Kas uz to dodas, lai Mani ļaudis Manu vārdu aizmirst caur viņu sapņiem, ko tie cits citam stāsta, kā viņu tēvi Manu vārdu aizmirsuši caur Baālu?
They think the dreams that they repeat to one another will lead my people to forget me, just like their forefathers forgot me by worshiping Baal.
28 Lai tas pravietis, kas sapņus redz, sapņus stāsta, un pie kā Mans vārds ir, tas lai Manu vārdu runā patiesībā. Kāda daļa pelavām ar graudiem? saka Tas Kungs.
A prophet who has a dream should say it's just a dream, but anyone I've spoken to should deliver my message faithfully. What is straw in comparison to grain? asks the Lord.
29 Vai Mans vārds nav kā uguns, saka Tas Kungs, un kā veseris, kas sagrauž akmens kalnus?
Doesn't my word burn like fire? asks the Lord. Isn't it like a hammer smashing a rock?
30 Tādēļ redzi, Es celšos, saka Tas Kungs, pret tiem praviešiem, kas Manus vārdus zog cits citam.
Pay attention to this, declares the Lord. I'm opposed to those prophets who steal words from one another and then say it's a message from me.
31 Redzi, Es celšos, saka Tas Kungs, pret tiem praviešiem, kas runā savus pašu vārdus un saka: Viņš to runājis!
Pay attention to this declares the Lord. I'm opposed to those prophets who make up their own stories and then announce, “This is what the Lord says.”
32 Redzi, Es celšos pret tiem, kas sludina melu sapņus, saka Tas Kungs, un tos stāsta un pieviļ Manus ļaudis ar saviem meliem un ar savām tukšām blēņām, un Es tomēr tos neesmu sūtījis un tiem nekā neesmu pavēlējis, un tie nepavisam neder šiem ļaudīm, saka Tas Kungs.
Pay attention to this declares the Lord, I'm opposed to those who prophesy fictional dreams. They tell them in order to lead my people into sin with their wild lies. I didn't send them or give them any instructions, and they don't do anybody any good, declares the Lord.
33 Kad nu šie ļaudis vai kāds pravietis vai priesteris tev vaicās un sacīs: kas ir Tā Kunga nasta? Tad tev tiem būs sacīt, jūs esat tā nasta, un Es jūs gribu atmest, saka Tas Kungs.
So when a prophet or priest or anyone else comes and asks you, “What is ‘the burden of the Lord?’” tell them, I'm not giving you a burden. I'm giving up on you, declares the Lord.
34 Un ja būs kāds pravietis, vai priesteris, vai cilvēks, kas sacīs: Tā Kunga nasta, - to vīru un viņa namu Es piemeklēšu.
If a prophet or priest or anyone else claims, “This is the burden of the Lord,” I will punish that person and their family.
35 Tā jums būs sacīt ikvienam uz savu tuvāku un ikvienam uz savu brāli: ko Tas Kungs atbildējis, un ko Tas Kungs runājis?
This is what everybody should say to their friends and relatives: “What answer has the Lord given?” or, “What has the Lord said?”
36 Bet Tā Kunga nastu jums vairs nebūs pieminēt, jo ikvienam savs vārds būs par nastu, tāpēc ka jūs esat pārgrozījuši tā dzīvā Dieva, Tā Kunga Cebaot, mūsu Dieva, vārdus.
Don't talk about “the burden of the Lord” anymore, because everybody has different ideas about this “burden,” perverting the words of the living God, the Lord Almighty, our God.
37 Tā tev būs sacīt uz to pravieti: ko tev Tas Kungs atbildējis, un ko Tas Kungs runājis?
This is what you are to say ask any prophet: “What message has the Lord given you?” and “What has the Lord told you?”
38 Bet tāpēc ka jūs sakāt: Tā Kunga nasta, tad Tas Kungs tā saka: Tāpēc ka jūs šo vārdu sakāt: Tā Kunga nasta, - kur Es taču pie jums esmu sūtījis un sacījis, jums nebūs sacīt: Tā Kunga nasta, -
If they say, “This is the burden of the Lord,” then this is the Lord's response: Because you said, “This is the burden of the Lord,” and I warned you not to,
39 Tādēļ, redzi, Es jūs pavisam aizmirsīšu un jūs atmetīšu no Sava vaiga, ar visu to pilsētu, ko Es jums un jūsu tēviem esmu devis.
now I'm going to pick you up like a burden and throw you away, you and the city that I gave to you and your forefathers.
40 Un Es pār jums celšu mūžīgu kaunu un mūžīgu negodu, ko neaizmirsīs.
I will disgrace you forever, you shame will never be forgotten.
