Jeremijas 3
1 Un Viņš saka: kad vīrs atstumj savu sievu, un tā aiziet no viņa un ņem citu vīru, vai tas viņu atkal drīkst pieņemt? Vai tāda zeme netaptu ļoti sagānīta? Bet tu ar daudz drauģeļiem esi maucību dzinusi un griezies atkal pie Manis, saka Tas Kungs.
“[Moses wrote that] if a man divorces his wife and then she marries another man, her first husband certainly must not [RHQ] take her back again [to be his wife], because that would certainly [RHQ] cause the whole nation to become unacceptable to me. But you have more [idols than] prostitutes have men whom they have slept with! So, [why should I accept you if] you return to me?” [RHQ] says Yahweh.
2 Pacel savas acis uz tiem elku kalniem un skaties: kur tu neesi tapusi apsmieta! Tu viņu dēļ esi ceļmalā sēdējusi kā Arābs tuksnesī; tā tu zemi esi sagānījusi ar savu maucību un ar savu blēdību.
“Look up at the barren hilltops. On every hilltop there are [RHQ] [idols that you have worshiped]. [It is as though] they are all lovers with whom you have had sex. [It is as though] you have sat along the roadsides like an Arab, waiting [to attack and steal things from] those who pass by. Because of worshiping idols and all the other wicked things that you have done, you have caused the [entire] land to become unacceptable to me.
3 Tādēļ agrais lietus top aizturēts, un vēlais lietus nenāk. Bet tev ir maukas piere, tu negribi kaunēties.
That is why I have not sent you any rain at the times of the year when you needed it. But you are like prostitutes [MET] who are not at all ashamed [for what they have done].
4 Un taču no šī laika tu Mani piesauci: mans Tēvs! Tu esi manas jaunības draugs!
Now each of you says to me, ‘You are my father! You have loved me ever since I was young!
5 Vai Viņš vienmēr dusmosies, vai Viņš bardzību turēs mūžīgi? Redzi, tā tu runā un dari ļaunu cik spēdama.
So surely you will not [RHQ] be angry with me forever!’ But you will not quit sinning!”
6 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani ķēniņa Josijas dienās: Vai esi redzējis, ko Israēla cilts atkāpdamās darījusi? Viņa gāja uz ikkatru elka kalnu un apakš visiem zaļiem kokiem un tur maukoja.
[One day] when Josiah was the king of Judah, Yahweh said to me, “Have you seen what the people of Israel have done? They have turned away from me, like a woman who has abandoned her husband and sleeps with other men. They have gone up on every hilltop and under every big tree and worshiped idols there [MET].
7 Un Es sacīju, kad tā visu to bija darījusi, atgriezies pie Manis; bet tā neatgriezās; un to redzēja viņas māsa, tā neuzticīgā Jūda cilts.
I thought that they would return to me, so I said to them, ‘Come back to me!’ But they refused. So I sent them away [to other countries, like a man] writes a note saying that he is divorcing his wife and then sends his wife away because she has committed adultery [MET].
8 Un Es redzēju, lai gan Es tādēļ, ka tā pārkāpēja Israēla cilts laulību bija pārlauzusi, viņu biju atstājis un tai devis šķiršanās grāmatu, ka tomēr viņas māsa, neuzticīgā Jūda cilts, nebijās, bet nogāja un dzina pati arīdzan maucību.
The people of Judah saw what I did to them. But they are just like the people of Israel. They are not afraid [of what I will do to them]. They also [have turned away from me and are worshiping idols like] women who abandon their husbands and go to other men [MET].
9 Un ar savas maucības slavu tā ir sagānījusi zemi, jo tā lauza laulību ar akmeņiem un kokiem.
They thought that worshiping idols did not matter to me, so they have made the [entire] land unacceptable to me by worshiping idols of wood and stone.
10 Un pie visa tā arī viņas māsa, neuzticīgā Jūda cilts, pie Manis nav atgriezusies no visas savas sirds, bet ar viltu, saka Tas Kungs.
The people of Judah have pretended to return to me, but they have not really done that. [This is true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
11 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: Israēla cilts, tā atkāpēja, izturas taisnāki, nekā neuzticīgā Jūda cilts.
Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Israel have turned away from me, but what the people of Judah have done is worse.
12 Ej un sauc šos vārdus pret ziemeļa pusi un saki: atgriezies, Israēla cilts, tu atkāpēja, saka Tas Kungs, tad Es Savu dusmību negriezīšu uz tevi. Jo Es esmu žēlīgs, saka Tas Kungs, Es negribu mūžīgi dusmoties.
So go and tell this to the people of Israel: ‘Yahweh says this to you Israeli people who have turned away from him: I am merciful. I will not continue to be angry with you forever. So return to me.
13 Atzīsti tikai savu noziegumu, ka tu esi apgrēkojusies pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, un šurp turp esi skraidījusi pie svešiem, apakš ikkatra zaļa koka, bet Manai balsij jūs neesat paklausījuši, saka Tas Kungs.
But you must admit/say that you are guilty, and that you have rebelled against me, Yahweh, your God, that you have worshiped idols under big trees everywhere, and you have not obeyed me. You have turned away from me.
14 Atgriežaties, atkāpēji bērni, saka Tas Kungs, - jo Es jūs esmu precējis un jūs uzņemšu, vienu no pilsētas un divas no cilts, un Es jūs vedīšu uz Ciānu.
But you belong to me. So I will take you, one from [each] city and two from [each] clan, and bring you [back] to Jerusalem [from the countries to which you were exiled].
15 Un Es jums došu ganus pēc Mana prāta, un tie jūs ganīs ar ziņu un prātu.
[If you do that], I will appoint for you leaders with whom I am pleased, leaders who will guide you [well] because they will know and understand [what pleases me].
16 Un notiks, kad jūs vairosities un būsiet auglīgi tai zemē tanīs dienās, saka Tas Kungs, tad vairs nesacīs: „Tā Kunga derības šķirsts“un tas arī vairs prātā nenāks un to arī vairs nepieminēs nedz meklēs nedz to atkal uztaisīs.
And when you become very numerous [DOU] in your land, you will not need to talk about the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments. You will not think about it, and you will not want to make a new one.
17 Tanī laikā Jeruzāleme taps nosaukta: „Tā Kunga goda krēsls“, un pie viņas visi pagāni taps sapulcināti, tādēļ ka Tā Kunga vārds ir Jeruzālemē; un tie nestaigās vairs pēc savas niknās sirds domām.
At that time people will say, “Jerusalem is [the place where] Yahweh’s throne is.” [People from] all nations will come there to worship me. And they will no longer stubbornly do the evil things that they desire.
18 Tanīs dienās Jūda nams ies pie Israēla nama, un tie nāks kopā no ziemeļu zemes uz to zemi, ko es jūsu tēviem esmu devis par mantību.
At that time you people [MTY] of Israel and the people of Judah will return from [being (exiled/forced to live) in] lands to the northeast. You will return to the land that I gave to your ancestors to belong to them [forever].
19 Es gan sacīju: kā Es tevi stādīšu starp tiem bērniem un tev došu jauku zemi, visglītāko mantību starp tautu glītumiem! Un sacīju: „Mans Tēvs!“jūs Mani sauksiet un no Manis neatkāpsities.
You people of Israel, I wanted to accept you to be my children. I wanted to give you [this] delightful land. It is a land more desirable/pleasant than the land of any other nation! I wanted you to call me ‘father’, and I wanted you to never turn away from me.
20 Patiesi, tā kā sieva savam draugam ir neuzticīga, tā jūs esat bijuši neuzticīgi pret Mani, jūs no Israēla nama, saka Tas Kungs.
But you have abandoned me like wives who have abandoned their husbands.’” [That is what] Yahweh said, and [I told it] to the people of Israel.
21 Balss taps dzirdēta uz kalniem, Israēla bērnu raudāšana un žēlošanās, ka tie pārgrozījuši savu ceļu un aizmirsuši To Kungu, savu Dievu.
People will hear a noise on the barren hilltops. It will be the noise made by people weeping and pleading [for God to be merciful to them]. They will be admitting/saying that they have forgotten Yahweh their God, and that they turned away from behaving as God wanted them to.
22 Atgriežaties, atkāpēji bērni, Es jūsu atkāpšanos dziedināšu. Redzi, mēs nākam pie Tevis, jo Tu, Kungs, esi mūsu Dievs.
Yahweh will say to them, “You Israeli people, come back to me! [If you do that], I will cause you to never turn away from me again.” [The people will reply], “We are returning to you, because you are Yahweh, our God.
23 Patiesi, tas ir viltus ar tiem pakalniem un ar visiem tiem kalniem; patiesi, pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, ir Israēla pestīšana.
We did not get any help from [the idols that we worshiped on] the hilltops; we did not get any help from making all that noise up there.
24 Jo tas kauna darbs ir apēdis mūsu tēvu pūliņu no mūsu jaunības, viņu avis un viņu vēršus, viņu dēlus un viņu meitas.
From the time when we were young, the shameful [god Baal] has taken away [from us] everything that our ancestors worked hard to acquire. He has taken away their flocks [of sheep] and herds [of cattle], their sons and their daughters.
25 Mēs guļam savā kaunā, un mūsu negods mūs apklāj. Jo mēs esam grēkojuši pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, mēs un mūsu tēvi no savas jaunības līdz šai dienai, un neesam klausījuši uz Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi.
So, now we should lie down feeling very ashamed [DOU], because we and our ancestors have sinned against Yahweh our God, and we have never obeyed him.”
