Jeremijas 27
1 Jojaķima (Cedeķijas), Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa valdīšanas iesākumā šis vārds no Tā Kunga notika uz Jeremiju:
Soon after Zedekiah became the King of Judah, Yahweh gave a message to me.
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs uz mani: taisi sev saites un jūgus un liec tos pie sava kakla,
This is what he said to me: “Make a (yoke/set of wooden bars to fasten around the neck of an ox), but fasten it around your own neck with leather straps.
3 Un sūti tos pie Edoma ķēniņa, pie Moaba ķēniņa, pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa un pie Tirus ķēniņa un pie Sidonas ķēniņa ar tiem vēstnešiem, kas nākuši uz Jeruzālemi pie Jūda ķēniņa Cedeķijas;
[Then] send messages to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon, by telling those messages to the ambassadors from those countries who have come to Jerusalem to [talk to] King Zedekiah.
4 Un pavēli tiem sacīt uz saviem kungiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: tā jums saviem kungiem būs sacīt:
Tell them to give this message to their kings: This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship, ]:
5 Es esmu radījis zemi un cilvēkus un lopus, kas virs zemes, ar Savu lielo spēku un ar Savu izstiepto elkoni, un Es to dodu tam, kas Manām acīm patiks.
‘With my very great power [MTY, DOU] I created the earth and the people and the animals that are on the earth. And I can give my power to anyone whom I want to.
6 Nu tad visas šās zemes Es dodu rokā Nebukadnecaram, Bābeles ķēniņam, Savam kalpam, un pat zvērus laukā Es dodu viņam kalpot.
And now I am going to enable King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who does what I want him to do, to control your countries. I am going to enable him to rule everything, even the wild animals.
7 Un visiem ļaudīm būs kalpot viņam un viņa dēlam un viņa dēla dēlam, tiekams laiks nāks arī viņa zemei, tad lielas tautas un lieli ķēniņi viņu sev kalpinās.
[The people of] all the nations will work for him, and [later] for his son, and [later] for his grandson, until the time for them [to rule] is finished. Then [the armies of] many great kings from many nations will conquer Babylon.’
8 Un tos ļaudis un to valsti, kas viņam, Nebukadnecaram, Bābeles ķēniņam, nekalpos, un kas savu kaklu negribēs likt apakš Bābeles ķēniņa jūga, to tautu Es piemeklēšu ar zobenu un ar badu un ar mēri, saka Tas Kungs, tiekams Es tos būšu izdeldējis caur viņa roku.
But now I tell you that you must [do what the king of Babylon wants you to do] [MET], [like an ox that has] a yoke on its neck [must do what its master wants it to do]. I will punish any nation that refuses to do that. I will cause those people to experience war and famine and diseases, until [the armies of] Babylon have conquered that nation.
9 Jūs tad neklausiet saviem praviešiem un saviem zīlniekiem un saviem sapņotājiem un saviem vārdotājiem un saviem burvjiem, kas uz jums runā un saka: jūs nekalposiet Bābeles ķēniņam.
So, do not pay attention to your [false] prophets and fortune-tellers and people who predict what will happen by working magic or by talking with spirits of dead people. Those people say that the king of Babylon will not conquer your country.
10 Jo tie jums sludina melus, lai Es jūs tālu aizvedu no jūsu zemes, un lai Es jūs izdzenu, un lai jūs ejat bojā.
Those people are [all] liars. [If you believe what they say, ] it will result in your being exiled from your land. I will cause you to be taken from your land, and you will die far away.
11 Bet tiem ļaudīm, kas savu kaklu pados Bābeles ķēniņa jūgam un viņam kalpos, tiem Es likšu palikt savā zemē, saka Tas Kungs, un tie to apkops un tur dzīvos.
But the people of any country who do what the King of Babylon wants them to do will remain in their own country and be able to plant their crops [MTY] [as they always have done. That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
12 Un Es runāju pēc visiem šiem vārdiem uz ķēniņu Cedeķiju, Jūda ķēniņu, un sacīju: padodiet savus kaklus Bābeles ķēniņa jūgam un kalpojiet viņam un viņa ļaudīm, tad jūs dzīvosiet.
[After I gave that message to those ambassadors, ] I gave the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. [I said to him, ] “If you want to remain alive, do what the King of Babylon and his officials want you to do [MET].
13 Kāpēc jūs gribat mirt, tu un tavi ļaudis, caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri, kā Tas Kungs runājis par tiem ļaudīm, kas Bābeles ķēniņam nekalpos?
[It would be foolish for you not to do that, because the result would be that] you and your people would die by [your enemies’] swords or by famine or diseases, which Yahweh will cause any nation to experience that refuses to allow the King of Babylon to rule them.
14 Tad neklausiet to praviešu vārdiem, kas uz jums runā un saka: jūs nekalposiet Bābeles ķēniņam, - jo tie jums sludina melus.
Do not pay attention to those prophets who say to you, ‘The King of Babylon will not conquer your country.’ They are liars.
15 Jo Es tos neesmu sūtījis, saka Tas Kungs, un tie Manā Vārdā sludina melus, lai Es jūs izdzenu, un jūs ejat bojā, jūs un tie pravieši, kas jums sludina.
[This is what] Yahweh says: ‘I have not appointed those prophets. They are saying that I [MTY] gave them messages, but they are lying. So, [if you believe them, ] I will expel you from this land. And you and all those prophets will die [in Babylon]!’”
16 Es runāju arī uz tiem priesteriem un uz visiem šiem ļaudīm un sacīju: tā saka Tas Kungs: neklausiet savu praviešu vārdiem, kas jums sludina un saka: redzi, Tā Kunga nama trauki drīz taps pārvesti no Bābeles, jo tie jums sludina melus.
Then I spoke to the priests and the other people, and I said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Do not believe your prophets who tell you that all the gold items [that were taken] from my temple [by soldiers from Babylon] will soon be returned from Babylon, because what they are prophesying is a lie.
17 Neklausiet tiem, kalpojiet Bābeles ķēniņam, tad jūs dzīvosiet. Kāpēc tad šai pilsētai būs tapt postītai?
Do not pay attention to what they say. Surrender to the king of Babylon. If you do that, you will remain alive. [If you do not do that] [RHQ], this entire city will be destroyed.
18 Bet ja tie ir pravieši, un ja Tā Kunga vārds ir pie viņiem, tad lai tie jel To Kungu Cebaot pielūdz, ka tie trauki, kas Tā Kunga namā un Jūda ķēniņa namā un Jeruzālemē atlikuši, nenāk uz Bābeli.
If they are really prophets who speak messages from me, tell them to plead to me, the Commander of the armies of angels, that [the soldiers from Babylon] will not be allowed to take away to Babylon the valuable items that [still] remain in the temple and in the king’s palace and in [the other palaces in] Jerusalem.
19 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot par tiem pīlāriem un par to jūru un par tiem krēsliem un par tiem atlikušiem traukiem, kas šai pilsētā atlikuši,
[I say this] because the [huge] pillars [that are in front of the temple] and the large water tank and the [ten water] carts and all the other items that are used [for offering sacrifices are still in this city].
20 Ko Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, nav paņēmis, kad viņš Jekaniju, Jojaķima dēlu, Jūda ķēniņu, no Jeruzālemes aizveda uz Bābeli līdz ar visiem Jūda un Jeruzālemes cienīgiem -
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left those things here when he exiled Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, to Babylon, along with all the [other] leaders of Jerusalem and [the leaders of other places in] Judah.
21 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, par tiem rīkiem, kas atlikuši Tā Kunga namā un Jūda ķēniņa namā un Jeruzālemē:
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say this about all those valuable things that are still outside the temple and in the palace of the king of Judah and in [other places in]:
22 Tie taps aizvesti uz Bābeli, un tur tie būs līdz tai dienai, kad Es tos piemeklēšu, saka Tas Kungs, jo Es tos atvedīšu atpakaļ uz šo vietu.
They will [all] be carried away to Babylon. And they will stay there until I say that they should be brought back to Jerusalem. Then they will be bought back here. [That is what I, ] Yahweh, say.’”
