Jeremijas 29
1 Un šie ir tās grāmatas vārdi, ko pravietis Jeremija sūtīja no Jeruzālemes tiem atlikušiem vecajiem, kas bija aizvesti, un tiem priesteriem un tiem praviešiem un visiem ļaudīm, ko Nebukadnecars no Jeruzālemes bija aizvedis uz Bābeli,
Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,
2 Kad ķēniņš Jekanija un ķēniņiene un ķēniņa sulaiņi un Jūda un Jeruzālemes lielkungi līdz ar tiem amatniekiem un kalējiem no Jeruzālemes bija projām, -
(after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem),
3 Caur Eleazu, Safana dēlu, un Gemariju, Hilķijas dēlu, ko Cedeķija, Jūda ķēniņš, uz Bābeli sūtīja pie Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa:
by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon). It said:
4 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, uz visiem aizvestiem, kas no Jeruzālemes aizvesti uz Bābeli:
The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 Uztaisiet namus un dzīvojiet iekš tiem un dēstiet dārzus un ēdiet no viņu augļiem.
“Build houses and dwell in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit.
6 Ņemiet sievas un dzemdinājiet dēlus un meitas un vediet saviem dēliem sievas un dodiet savas meitas vīriem, lai tās dzemdē dēlus un meitas, un vairojaties tur un neejat mazumā,
Take wives and father sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters. Multiply there, and don’t be diminished.
7 Un meklējiet tās pilsētas labklāšanos, kurp Es jūs esmu licis aizvest, un pielūdziet To Kungu viņas dēļ, jo kad viņai labi klāsies, tad arī jums labi klāsies.
Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”
8 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: lai jūsu pravieši un jūsu zīlnieki, kas jūsu vidū, jūs nepieviļ, un neklausiet saviem sapņiem, ko jūs sapņojat.
For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Don’t let your prophets who are amongst you and your diviners deceive you. Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamt.
9 Jo tie jums sludina melus Manā Vārdā; Es tos neesmu sūtījis, saka Tas Kungs.
For they prophesy falsely to you in my name. I have not sent them,” says the LORD.
10 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: tiešām, kad septiņdesmit gadi Bābelē būs pagalam, tad Es jūs piemeklēšu un jums likšu notikt pēc Sava žēlīgā vārda un jūs atvedīšu atpakaļ uz šo vietu.
For the LORD says, “After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word towards you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 Jo Es zinu, kādas domas Es par jums domāju, saka Tas Kungs: miera domas un ne ļaunas domas, ka Es jums dodu to cerēto galu.
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you,” says the LORD, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
12 Tad jūs Mani piesauksiet un iesiet un Mani pielūgsiet, un Es jūs paklausīšu.
You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13 Un jūs meklēsiet un Mani atradīsiet, kad jūs pēc Manis vaicāsiet no visas savas sirds.
You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
14 Un Es no jums likšos atrasties, saka Tas Kungs, un atgriezīšu (atpakaļ no) jūsu cietuma un jūs sapulcināšu no visām tautām un no visām vietām, kurp Es jūs esmu aizdzinis, saka Tas Kungs, un jūs vedīšu atkal uz to vietu, no kurienes Es jūs esmu licis aizvest.
I will be found by you,” says the LORD, “and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you,” says the LORD. “I will bring you again to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.”
15 Kad jūs sakāt: Tas Kungs mums Bābelē praviešus cēlis -
Because you have said, “The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon,”
16 Tiešām, tā saka Tas Kungs, par to ķēniņu, kas sēž uz Dāvida goda krēsla, un par visiem ļaudīm, kas šai pilsētā dzīvo, par jūsu brāļiem, kas ar jums nav gājuši cietumā,
the LORD says concerning the king who sits on David’s throne, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who haven’t gone with you into captivity,
17 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: redzi, Es sūtīšu starp viņiem zobenu, badu un mēri, un darīšu tos kā nelāga vīģes, ko nevar ēst aiz nelāguma.
the LORD of Armies says: “Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that can’t be eaten, they are so bad.
18 Un Es tiem dzīšos pakaļ ar zobenu, ar badu un ar mēri, un tos nodošu uz vārdzināšanu visās zemes valstīs, par lāstu, par biedēkli un par apsmieklu un par negodu starp visām tautām, kurp Es tos aizdzīšu:
I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth amongst all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach amongst all the nations where I have driven them,
19 Par to, ka tie Maniem vārdiem nav klausījuši, saka Tas Kungs, kad Es Savus kalpus, tos praviešus, pie tiem tikuši(neatlaidīgi) sūtīju vienā sūtīšanā; bet jūs neesat klausījuši, saka Tas Kungs.
because they have not listened to my words,” says the LORD, “with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear,” says the LORD.
20 Tad klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, jūs visi, kas esat aizvesti, ko Es no Jeruzālemes uz Bābeli esmu nosūtījis.
Hear therefore the LORD’s word, all you captives whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, pret Ahabu, Kolajas dēlu, un pret Cedeķiju, Mazejas dēlu, kas jums melus sludina Manā Vārdā! Redzi, Es tos nodošu Nebukadnecaram, Bābeles ķēniņam, rokā, tas tos sitīs priekš jūsu acīm;
The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he will kill them before your eyes.
22 Un no tiem celsies lāstu vārdi pie visiem no Jūda aizvestiem, kas ir Bābelē, un sacīs: lai Tas Kungs tev dara kā Cedeķijam un kā Ahabam, ko Bābeles ķēniņš pie uguns cepis,
A curse will be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘The LORD make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;’
23 Tādēļ ka tie ģeķību darījuši iekš Israēla un laulību pārkāpuši ar savu tuvāko sievām un runājuši melu vārdus Manā Vārdā, ko Es tiem nebiju pavēlējis, un Es esmu Tas, kas to zin un apliecina, saka Tas Kungs.
because they have done foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I didn’t command them. I am he who knows, and am witness,” says the LORD.
24 Un pret Nekalamieti Šemaju runā un saki:
Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,
25 Tā runā Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, un saka: tādēļ, ka tu grāmatas sūtījis savā vārdā visiem ļaudīm Jeruzālemē un priesterim Cefanijam, Mazejas dēlam, un visiem priesteriem ar tiem vārdiem:
“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26 Tas Kungs tevi licis par priesteri priestera Jojadas vietā, ka jums būs uzraugiem būt Tā Kunga namā pār ikkatru vīru, kas trako un sevi par pravieti turas, ka tev tos būs likt cietumā un siekstā;
“The LORD has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the LORD’s house, for every man who is crazy and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.
27 Nu tad, kāpēc tu Jeremiju no Anatotas neesi aprājis, kas jūsu starpā turas par pravieti?
Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,
28 Tāpēc ka viņš pie mums uz Bābeli sūtījis un sacījis: būs ilgi, uztaisiet namus un dzīvojiet un dēstiet dārzus un ēdiet viņu augļus.
because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’”
29 Un priesteris Cefanija lasīja šo grāmatu priekš pravieša Jeremijas ausīm.
Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 Tad Tā Kunga vārds tā notika uz Jeremiju:
Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
31 Sūti jel pie visiem aizvestiem un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs pret Nekalamieti Šemaju: tādēļ ka Šemaja jums ir sludinājis, un Es to neesmu sūtījis, un ir darījis, ka jūs paļaujaties uz meliem,
“Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘The LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,”
32 Tādēļ Tas Kungs tā saka: redzi, Es piemeklēšu Nekalamieti Šemaju un viņa dzimumu; viņam neviena nebūs, kas šo ļaužu vidū dzīvos un redzēs to labumu, ko Es Saviem ļaudīm darīšu, saka Tas Kungs, jo viņš ir mācījis atkāpties no Tā Kunga.
therefore the LORD says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell amongst this people. He won’t see the good that I will do to my people,” says the LORD, “because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD.”’”
