< Jeremijas 23 >
1 Ak vai, jums, gani, kas Manas ganības avis nomaitājat un izklīdinājāt, saka Tas Kungs.
“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says 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.
Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings,” says 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 will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they will be fruitful and multiply.
4 Un Es pār tām iecelšu ganus, kas tās ganīs, un tās vairs nebīsies, nedz baiļosies, nedz taps piemeklētas, saka Tas Kungs.
I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. They will no longer be afraid or dismayed, neither will any be lacking,” says 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.
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch; and he will reign as king and deal wisely, and will execute justice and righteousness in 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.
In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: The LORD our righteousness.
7 Tāpēc redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka vairs nesacīs: “Tik tiešām ka Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas Israēla bērnus izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes“,
“Therefore, behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that they will no more say, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land 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.
but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will dwell in their own land.”
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.
Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken. All my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and 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 land is full of adulterers; for because of the curse the land mourns. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;
11 Jo tā pravietis kā priesteris ir nesvēti, pat Savā namā Es atrodu viņu blēdību, saka Tas Kungs.
for both prophet and priest are profane. Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says 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.
Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness. They will be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
13 Pie tiem praviešiem Samarijā Es gan redzēju ģeķību, jo tie sludināja caur Baālu un pievīla Manus Israēla ļaudis.
“I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
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.
In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as 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.
Therefore the LORD of Armies says concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poisoned water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
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.
The LORD of Armies says, “Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
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 say continually to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has said, “You will have peace;”’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’
18 Jo kas bijis Tā Kunga padoma devējs? Kas viņa vārdu redzējis vai dzirdējis? Kas viņa vārdu vērā ņēmis un klausījis?
For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?
19 Redzi, Tā Kunga vētra celsies ar bardzību, un briesmīgs viesulis, tas gāzīsies bezdievīgiem uz galvu.
Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm! It will burst on the head 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 will not return until he has executed and performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.
21 Es nesūtīju praviešus, un tomēr tie tecēja; Es nerunāju, un tomēr tie sludināja.
I didn’t send these prophets, yet they ran. I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.
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.
But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Vai Es esmu Dievs, kas tikai ir tuvu, saka Tas Kungs, un neesmu arī Dievs, kas ir tālu?
“Am I a God at hand,” says the LORD, “and not a God afar off?
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 anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says the LORD. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says 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 have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
26 Cik ilgi tas būs to praviešu sirdī, kas sludina melus un sludina savas sirds viltību,
How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
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 intend to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they each tell his neighbour, as their fathers forgot my name because of 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.
The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?” says the LORD.
29 Vai Mans vārds nav kā uguns, saka Tas Kungs, un kā veseris, kas sagrauž akmens kalnus?
“Isn’t my word like fire?” says the LORD; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
30 Tādēļ redzi, Es celšos, saka Tas Kungs, pret tiem praviešiem, kas Manus vārdus zog cits citam.
“Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who each steal my words from his neighbour.
31 Redzi, Es celšos, saka Tas Kungs, pret tiem praviešiem, kas runā savus pašu vārdus un saka: Viņš to runājis!
Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who use their tongues, and say, ‘He 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.
Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says the LORD, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I didn’t send them or command them. They don’t profit this people at all,” says 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.
“When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, asks you, saying, ‘What is the message from the LORD?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘“What message? I will cast you off,” says the LORD.’
34 Un ja būs kāds pravietis, vai priesteris, vai cilvēks, kas sacīs: Tā Kunga nasta, - to vīru un viņa namu Es piemeklēšu.
As for the prophet, the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ I will even punish that man and his household.
35 Tā jums būs sacīt ikvienam uz savu tuvāku un ikvienam uz savu brāli: ko Tas Kungs atbildējis, un ko Tas Kungs runājis?
You will say everyone to his neighbour, and everyone to his brother, ‘What has the LORD answered?’ and, ‘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.
You will mention the message from the LORD no more, for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of Armies, our God.
37 Tā tev būs sacīt uz to pravieti: ko tev Tas Kungs atbildējis, un ko Tas Kungs runājis?
You will say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
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, -
Although you say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ therefore the LORD says: ‘Because you say this word, “The message from the LORD,” and I have sent to you, telling you not to say, “The message from the LORD,”
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.
therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off with the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence.
40 Un Es pār jums celšu mūžīgu kaunu un mūžīgu negodu, ko neaizmirsīs.
I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.’”
