< Jeremijas 23 >
1 Ak vai, jums, gani, kas Manas ganības avis nomaitājat un izklīdinājāt, saka Tas Kungs.
Yahweh declares, “Terrible things will happen to [the leaders] [MET] [of my people—those who are like] shepherds of [the people who are like] my sheep—because they have scattered my people and sent them away, and have not taken care of them.
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.
So, this is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say to those leaders: ‘Instead of taking care of my people and [leading them to places where they are safe, like a shepherd does for] his sheep, you have scattered them. So I will punish you for the evil things that you have done.
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.
But later I will gather those who are still alive, from the countries where I have forced them to go. I will bring them back to their own country, where they will have many children, and their number/population will increase.
4 Un Es pār tām iecelšu ganus, kas tās ganīs, un tās vairs nebīsies, nedz baiļosies, nedz taps piemeklētas, saka Tas Kungs.
[Then] I will appoint [other] leaders for my people, leaders who will take care of them. And my people will never be afraid [DOU] of anything again, and none of them will be [like a] lost [sheep].’”
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.
Yahweh [also] says, “Some day I will appoint for you a righteous man who will be a descendant of King David. He will be a king who rules wisely. He will do what is just and right throughout the land.
6 Viņa laikā Jūda taps atpestīts un Israēls dzīvos droši. Un tas būs Viņa vārds, ar ko Viņš taps nosaukts: Tas Kungs mūsu taisnība.
At that time, all the Israeli people [DOU] will be saved [from their enemies], and they will be safe. And his name will be ‘Yahweh, the one who vindicates/defends us.’”
7 Tāpēc redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka vairs nesacīs: “Tik tiešām ka Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas Israēla bērnus izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes“,
Yahweh [also] says that at that time, people [who are solemnly promising to do something] will no longer say, “[I will do it as surely] as Yahweh lives, who rescued the Israeli people from 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 will say, “[I will do it] as surely as Yahweh lives, who brought [us] Israeli people back to our own land, from the land to the northeast and from all the [other] countries to which he had exiled us.” And they will live in their own land [again].
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.
I am very shocked because of the sacred message that Yahweh has spoken about [what will happen to] the [false] prophets; [it is as though] all my bones shake. I stagger like a man who is drunk after drinking a lot of wine.
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.
The land is full of [people who commit] adultery; and [Yahweh] has cursed the land. Even the pastures in the desert are all dried up, because the people do what is evil, and [the false prophets] use their power to do things that are not just/fair.
11 Jo tā pravietis kā priesteris ir nesvēti, pat Savā namā Es atrodu viņu blēdību, saka Tas Kungs.
Yahweh says, “[Yes, even] the priests and the prophets are ungodly; they do wicked things even in my temple.
12 Tāpēc viņu ceļš būs kā slidenums tumsībā, tur piedauzīsies un kritīs. Jo Es vedīšu pār tiem nelaimi viņu piemeklēšanas gadā, saka Tas Kungs.
Therefore, [it will be as though] the paths that they walk on are slippery. [It will be as though] they are being chased in the darkness, and there they will fall down, because I will cause them to experience disasters at the time that I will punish them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
13 Pie tiem praviešiem Samarijā Es gan redzēju ģeķību, jo tie sludināja caur Baālu un pievīla Manus Israēla ļaudis.
[Previously] I saw that the prophets in Samaria were doing something that was wrong; they were prophesying, saying that Baal [gave them the messages that they were proclaiming], and they were deceiving my people.
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.
And [now] I have seen the prophets in Jerusalem doing terrible things. They commit adultery and habitually tell lies. They encourage evil people to continue to do evil things, with the result that the people do not stop sinning. Those prophets are as wicked as the people in Sodom and Gomorrah were.
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 Commander of the armies of angels says about those [false] prophets: “I will give those prophets bitter things to eat and poison to drink, because it is because of them that this land is filled with [people who do] wicked things.”
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 Commander of the armies of angels says: “Do not pay any attention to what those [false] prophets say to you, because they are just deceiving you. They tell you about visions that they have thought/created [only] in their own minds, not about visions that I have given them.
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 habitually say to those who hate me, ‘[Yahweh says that] you will have peace.’ And they say to those who stubbornly do what they want to do, ‘Nothing bad will happen to you [because of your doing those things].’
18 Jo kas bijis Tā Kunga padoma devējs? Kas viņa vārdu redzējis vai dzirdējis? Kas viņa vārdu vērā ņēmis un klausījis?
But none of them has ever been in a council [meeting] in heaven in order to listen to a message from me. None of them has paid attention to anything that [I], Yahweh, have said.
19 Redzi, Tā Kunga vētra celsies ar bardzību, un briesmīgs viesulis, tas gāzīsies bezdievīgiem uz galvu.
So, listen to this: I will punish them; it will be [like] a great storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of those wicked people.
20 Tā Kunga bardzība negriezīsies atpakaļ, tiekams Viņš nebūs padarījis un piepildījis Savas sirds domas; nākamās dienās jūs to gan manīsiet.
I will not stop being angry until I completely accomplish all that I have planned. In the future, you will understand [all of] this clearly.”
21 Es nesūtīju praviešus, un tomēr tie tecēja; Es nerunāju, un tomēr tie sludināja.
[Yahweh also says, ] “I have not appointed those prophets, but they run [around telling people their messages]. I did not speak to them, but they [continue to] prophesy.
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.
If they had been in my council [meetings], they would have been able to speak messages from me, and they would have caused people to turn away from committing evil things.”
23 Vai Es esmu Dievs, kas tikai ir tuvu, saka Tas Kungs, un neesmu arī Dievs, kas ir tālu?
Yahweh [also] says, “Am I a God who is only nearby? No, I am a God who is far away, also.
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.
So, no one can hide in some secret place with the result that I cannot see him. I am everywhere, in heaven and on the earth! [That is what I], Yahweh, say!
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 have heard those prophets prophesy lies, saying that they are telling people messages from me. They say, ‘[Listen to me tell you] the dream that God gave me last night! I [really] had this dream!’
26 Cik ilgi tas būs to praviešu sirdī, kas sludina melus un sludina savas sirds viltību,
How long will they continue to do this? How long will those lying prophets continue to prophesy things that come only from their own 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 that because of the dreams that they tell to each other, people will forget me, like their ancestors forgot about me when they started to worship 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.
Allow those [false] prophets to tell people their dreams, but those who have messages that [really] come from me should proclaim those messages faithfully. I, Yahweh, say [that like] straw and grain are certainly very different, [my messages and the messages from those false prophets are certainly very different].
29 Vai Mans vārds nav kā uguns, saka Tas Kungs, un kā veseris, kas sagrauž akmens kalnus?
[It is as though] my messages [burn] like a fire; they [strike people’s inner beings like] someone strikes a rock with a hammer and smashes it into pieces.
30 Tādēļ redzi, Es celšos, saka Tas Kungs, pret tiem praviešiem, kas Manus vārdus zog cits citam.
Therefore, [I, ] Yahweh say, 'I oppose all those prophets who steal messages from each other and claim that those messages came from me.
31 Redzi, Es celšos, saka Tas Kungs, pret tiem praviešiem, kas runā savus pašu vārdus un saka: Viņš to runājis!
I oppose those prophets who speak their own messages but claim that those messages came from me.
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.
I oppose those prophets who falsely say that I told them something in a vision, but they are [only] telling lies that cause my people to sin. I did not send those prophets. I did not even appoint them [to be prophets]. And they have no messages that will benefit my people at all.' [That is what I, ] Yahweh, declare.”
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.
[Yahweh said to me], “If one of those prophets or priests or one of the [other] people asks you, ‘What problem has Yahweh told you about [now]?’, you must reply, ‘You are the problem! And Yahweh says that he will abandon you!’
34 Un ja būs kāds pravietis, vai priesteris, vai cilvēks, kas sacīs: Tā Kunga nasta, - to vīru un viņa namu Es piemeklēšu.
And if any prophet or priest or anyone [else falsely] says, ‘[I have] a prophecy from Yahweh,’ I will punish that person and his family.
35 Tā jums būs sacīt ikvienam uz savu tuvāku un ikvienam uz savu brāli: ko Tas Kungs atbildējis, un ko Tas Kungs runājis?
What you should continually ask each other is, ‘[When you spoke to Yahweh, ] what did he reply? What is he saying [to us]?’
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.
But stop saying ‘[I have] a prophecy/message from Yahweh,’ because those who say that are doing it only because they want people to accept their ideas, and by doing that they distort/change the messages that are from our God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
37 Tā tev būs sacīt uz to pravieti: ko tev Tas Kungs atbildējis, un ko Tas Kungs runājis?
This is what you should ask each prophet: ‘What did Yahweh reply [when you talked to him]? What is he saying [to us]?’
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 he replies, ‘[What I told you] is a prophecy/message from Yahweh,’ you should say to him, ‘You have continued to say, “[I received] a prophecy/message from Yahweh” even though I told you to not claim that you have received prophecies/messages from Yahweh.’
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.
So I [, Yahweh, ] will get rid of you [false prophets]. I will expel you from my presence. And I will get rid of this city that I gave to you and to your ancestors.
40 Un Es pār jums celšu mūžīgu kaunu un mūžīgu negodu, ko neaizmirsīs.
I will cause people to make fun of you forever. People will never forget that you were disgraced.”
