Jeremijas 31
1 Tanī laikā, saka Tas Kungs, Es visām Israēla ciltīm būšu par Dievu, un tās Man būs par ļaudīm.
Yahweh says that at that time, he will be the God [who is worshiped by] all the clans in Israel, and they will be his people.
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs: Tie ļaudis, kas atlikuši no zobena, atraduši žēlastību tuksnesī; Es iešu, Israēli vest pie dusas.
This is what Yahweh says: “Those [people] who remained alive and were not killed by [their enemies’] swords were blessed [by me even] in the desert; I enabled them to have peace.
3 Tas Kungs man parādījies no tālienes: Es tevi esmu mīļojis ar mūžīgu mīlestību, tādēļ Es tevi žēlīgi esmu vilcis pie Sevis.
Long ago [I, ] Yahweh, said to [your ancestors, ] the Israeli people, ‘I have loved you and I will continue to love you forever. By faithfully loving you, I have brought you close to myself.’
4 Es tevi atkal uztaisīšu, un tu tapsi uzcelta, Israēla meita! Tu atkal pušķosies ar savām bungām un iziesi priecīgi diedama.
And [now I tell you], my Israeli people whom I love [MET], that I will cause you to be a nation again. You will [joyfully] dance as you play your tambourines.
5 Tu atkal dēstīsi vīna dārzus Samarijas kalnos, dēstītāji tos dēstīs un droši baudīs.
Again you will plant your vineyards on the hills of Samaria, and you will eat the grapes [that grow there].
6 Jo būs diena, kad sargi sauks uz Efraīma kalniem: ceļaties, ejam augšā uz Ciānu pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva.
There will be a time when watchmen will call out from the hills of Samaria [MTY], ‘Come, let’s go up to Jerusalem to [worship] Yahweh, our God!'”
7 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: sauciet par Jēkabu ar līksmību un gavilējiet par tautu galvu, sludinājiet, teiciet un sakiet: ak Kungs, pestī Savus ļaudis, Israēla atlikušos!
And now Yahweh also says this: “Sing joyfully about [what I have done for] the people of Israel! Shout about [your nation, ] the greatest nation! Shout joyfully, praising me and saying, ‘Yahweh, rescue your people, the ones who are still alive!’
8 Redzi, Es tos atvedīšu no ziemeļu zemes un tos sapulcināšu no zemes galiem; viņu starpā būs akli un tizli, grūtas un dzemdētājas kopā, lielā pulkā tie šurp atgriezīsies.
Do that [because] I will bring them back from the northeast, from the most distant places on the earth. Among them will be blind people and lame people, women who are pregnant and women who are (having labor pains/about to give birth to babies). They will be a huge group of people!
9 Tie nāks ar raudāšanu, un ar pielūgšanu Es tos gribu vest un vadīt pie ūdens strautiem pa līdzenu ceļu, kur tie nepaklups; jo Es esmu Israēlim palicis par tēvu un Efraīms ir Mans pirmdzimtais.
They will be crying as they return, and they will be praying [to me]. I will guide them along streams of water, on level paths where they will not stumble. [I will do this] because I am [like] a father to the Israeli people; [it is as though] Israel is my oldest son.”
10 Klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, jūs tautas, un sludiniet pa tām salām, kas tālu, un sakāt: kas Israēli izklīdinājis, Tas viņu atkal sapulcinās un to sargās kā gans savu ganāmo pulku.
Yahweh says, “[You people in the] nations of the world, listen to this message from me. Then proclaim it to [people who live along] the coasts far away. I scattered my people, but I will gather them [again] and will take care of them like [SIM] a shepherd takes care of his sheep.
11 Jo Tas Kungs Jēkabu atpircis un viņu izglābis no rokas, kas bija stiprāka nekā viņš.
I will buy [my] Israeli people back from those who [conquered them because] they were more powerful [than my people].
12 Un tie nāks un gavilēs Ciānas kalnā un plūdīs pie Tā Kunga dāvanām, pie labības un pie vīna un pie eļļas un pie jauniem jēriem un vēršiem, un viņu dvēsele būs kā mitrs dārzs, un tie vairs nebūs noskumuši.
My people will return [to Jerusalem] and shout joyfully on the slopes of Zion Hill. They will rejoice about the things that I have abundantly given to them— grain and new wine and [olive] oil and young sheep and cattle. They themselves will be like a well-watered garden, and they will no longer be sad.
13 Tad jaunava priecāsies diedama un jaunekļi un sirmgalvji kopā. Jo Es pārvērtīšu viņu skumību par prieku un tos iepriecināšu un ielīksmošu pēc viņu noskumšanas
The young women will dance joyfully, and [all] the men, young ones and old ones, will join with them. I will cause them to rejoice instead of mourning; I will comfort them and cause them to be happy instead of being sad.
14 Un Es mielošu priesteru dvēseli ar taukumiem, un Mani ļaudis taps pieēdināti ar Manu labumu, saka Tas Kungs.
The priests will have plenty of things to eat and drink, and [all] my people will be filled with the good things that I give them. [That will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
15 Tā saka Tas Kungs: brēkšana ir dzirdama Rāmā, žēlošanās un gauža raudāšana; Rahēle apraud savus bērnus, un negribās iepriecinājuma par saviem bērniem, jo to vairs nav.
Yahweh [also] says this: “Women were weeping in Ramah [town on the border between Israel and Judah]; they were mourning and crying very loudly. [The women who were the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, the two grandsons of] Rachel [the wife of Jacob], were weeping about their children, and no one could comfort them because their children were [all] dead.
16 Tā saka Tas Kungs: atrauj savu balsi no raudāšanas un savas acis no asarām, jo tur ir alga tavam darbam, saka Tas Kungs; tie atgriezīsies no ienaidnieka zemes.
[But now] this is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘Do not cry [any more], because I will reward you [for the good things you have done for your children]. Your children will return from the land where their enemies [have taken them].
17 Un cerība ir tavai nākamībai, saka Tas Kungs: jo tavi bērni nāks atpakaļ savās robežās.
[I], Yahweh, am telling you that there are things that you can confidently expect [me to do for you] in the future. Your children will return to their own land.’
18 Es klausīt esmu klausījies, ka Efraīms žēlojās: Tu mani esi pārmācījis, un es esmu pārmācīts kā nevaldāms teļš. Atgriez mani, tad es atgriezīšos. Jo Tu, Kungs, esi mans Dievs.
I have heard [the people of] Israel grieving very much [and saying to me], ‘You punished us severely, like [SIM] calves are beaten [by their owners to train them for pulling a plow]. [So] bring us back [to obey/worship you again], because we are ready to return to you, because you [alone] are Yahweh, our God.
19 Tiešām, kad es nogriezos, tad man nāca žēlums, un kad es to atzinu, tad es situ uz saviem gurniem, jo es esmu apkaunots un kaunā tapis, nesdams savas jaunības negodu.
We turned away [from you], but we repented; [after you] caused us to realize [that we were guilty]. We beat our chests to show that we were very ashamed [DOU] of the sins that we committed when we were young.’
20 Vai Efraīms Man nav dārgs dēls un mīļš bērns, ka cikkārt Es par viņu runāju, pieminēdams Es viņu pieminu? Tāpēc Mana sirds trīc par viņu, ka Es apžēlodamies par viņu apžēlojos, saka Tas Kungs.
But [I], Yahweh, say this: The Israeli people certainly are [RHQ] still my dear children [DOU]. It is often necessary for me to threaten [to punish] them, but I still love them. That is why I have not forgotten them, and I will certainly act mercifully toward them.
21 Uzcel sev stabus, liec sev zīmes, un ņem vērā to ceļu, ko tu staigājis: Griezies atpakaļ, Israēla meita, griezies atpakaļ uz šīm savām pilsētām.
[You Israeli people, ] set up road signs; put up posts [along the roads] to mark the road on which you walked [when you were taken from Jerusalem]. My precious/beloved Israeli people, come back to your towns here.
22 Cik ilgi tu maldīsies, tu atkāpēja meita? Jo Tas Kungs ir radījis ko jaunu virs zemes: sieva būs ap vīru.
You people who have been like [MET] daughters who have forsaken their parents, how long will you continue to wander [away from me] [RHQ]? I, Yahweh, will cause something to happen on the earth that (is new/has not happened before): The women of Israel will be protecting their husbands as they travel [back here]!”
23 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: “šo vārdu tie vēl runās Jūda zemē un viņas pilsētās, kad Es atpakaļ vedīšu viņa cietumniekus: lai Tas Kungs tevi svētī, tu taisnības mājokli, tu svētais kalns!
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship], says: “When I bring them back from the countries to which they have been exiled, all the people from the towns in Judah will again say, [‘I hope that] Yahweh will bless this my home, the holy place where righteous [people will live]!’
24 Un Jūda ar visām savām pilsētām kopā tur dzīvos, arāji un kas staigā ar ganāmiem pulkiem.
[The people of] Judah [who live in] the towns, including the farmers and the shepherds, will all live together [peacefully].
25 Jo Es dzirdināšu iztvīkušo dvēseli un atspirdzināšu ikkatru noskumušu dvēseli.”
I will enable weary people to rest, and enable people who are very exhausted to become strong again.”
26 Tāpēc es uzmodos un skatījos, un mans miegs man bija gards.
I, [Jeremiah], woke up [after dreaming all those things], and I looked [around]. I had slept [very] delightfully!
27 Redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es Israēla namu un Jūda namu augļošu ar cilvēku dzimumu un ar lopu dzimumu.
[Then] Yahweh said [to me], “There will be a time when I will greatly increase [MET] the number of people and the number of livestock here in Israel and Judah.
28 Un kā Es pret tiem esmu bijis nomodā, tos izraudams un nolauzdams un postīdams un samaitādams un mocīdams, tā Es par tiem gribu nomodā būt, tos uztaisīdams un dēstīdams, saka Tas Kungs,
[Previously], I caused [their enemies to] remove the people from their land and to destroy their land and to cause them to experience many disasters [DOU]. But in the future, I will enable them to build houses and to plant crops [here in Israel again]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
29 Tanīs dienās vairs nesacīs: tēvi ēduši skābas vīnogas, un bērniem zobi apmizējuši.
[Previously the people often said, ] ‘The parents have eaten sour grapes, but it is the children’s teeth that ache.’ [They meant that it was not fair for them to be punished for their ancestors’ sins]. But [when I bring them back to their land], they will no longer say that.
30 Bet ikvienam sava nozieguma dēļ būs mirt, ikviens cilvēks, kas ēd skābas vīnogas, tam zobi apmizēs.
But now all people will die because of the sins that they themselves have committed.
31 Redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es jaunu derību celšu ar Israēla namu un ar Jūda namu,
[I], Yahweh, say this: ‘There will be a time when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah.
32 Ne tādu derību, kā esmu cēlis ar viņu tēviem, kad tos pie rokas satvēru un izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes; to Manu derību tie iznīcinājuši, tad Es arīdzan par tiem neesmu bēdājis, saka Tas Kungs.
[This new agreement will] not be like the agreement that I made with their ancestors when I took them by their hands and led them out of Egypt. They broke that agreement, even though I [loved them like] [MET] husbands love their wives.’
33 Bet šī ir tā derība, ko Es ar Israēla namu celšu pēc šīm dienām, saka Tas Kungs: Es došu Savu bauslību viņu prātā un to rakstīšu viņu sirdī, un Es tiem būšu par Dievu, un tie Man būs par tautu.
This is what I, Yahweh, say: ‘This is the new agreement that I will make with the people of Israel some day: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their inner beings. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 Un tad draugs draugu vairs nemācīs nedz brālis brāli, sacīdams: atzīstiet To Kungu! Jo tie visi Mani atzīs, ir viņu mazie, ir viņu lielie, saka Tas Kungs. Jo Es piedošu viņu noziegumus un nepieminēšu vairs viņu grēkus.
And it will not be [necessary] for them to teach their neighbors or their relatives and say, “[You need to] know Yahweh,” because everyone, including unimportant people and very important people, will [already] know me. And I will forgive them for having been very wicked, and I will never think again about the sins that they have committed.’”
35 Tā saka Tas Kungs, kas sauli dienā dod pār spīdekli, mēnesi un zvaigznes pēc saviem likumiem par spīdekļiem naktī, kas jūru kustina, ka viņas viļņi kauc, Kungs Cebaot ir Viņa vārds:
Yahweh is the one who causes the sun to give light during the day, and who causes the moon and the stars to give light during the night. He stirs up the seas, with the result that waves roar. His name is the Commander of the armies of angels, and this is what he says:
36 Kad šie likumi Manā priekšā zudīs, saka Tas Kungs, tad arī Israēla dzimums zudīs, ka nebūs vairs tauta Manā priekšā mūžīgi.
“I will not reject my Israeli people any more than I will get rid of the laws [that control the universe].
37 Tā saka Tas Kungs: Kad debesis augšām varēs mērot un zemes dibenus apakšā varēs izmanīt, tad Es arī atmetīšu visu Israēla dzimumu, visa tā dēļ, ko tie darījuši, saka Tas Kungs.
And this is what I say: ‘No one can measure the sky, and no one can find out what is supporting the earth. Similarly, I cannot reject forever the descendants of Jacob because of all the [evil] things that they have done.’ [That is certain, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
38 Redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka šī pilsēta Tam Kungam taps uzcelta no Hananeēļa torņa līdz stūru vārtiem.
[I], Yahweh, also say that there will be a time when [everything in] Jerusalem will be rebuilt for me, from the tower of Hananel [at the northeast corner, west] to [the gate named] the Corner Gate.
39 Un mēra aukla izstiepsies tālāki uz priekšu līdz Gāreba pakalnam un griezīsies uz Goātu.
[Workers] will stretch a measuring line/string over Gareb Hill all the way [southwest] to Goah.
40 Un visa miroņu un pelnu ieleja, un visi tīrumi līdz Kidronas upei, līdz zirgu vārtu stūrim pret rītiem, būs Tam Kungam svēti; tur vairs neko neizdeldēs nedz nolauzīs ne mūžam.
And the whole area, including the place where corpses and ashes are thrown in the [Kidron] Valley, and all the fields to the east as far as the Horse Gate, will become set apart for me. And the city [of Jerusalem] will never again be captured or destroyed.”
