Jeremijas 38
1 Bet Šefatija, Matana dēls, un Ģedalija, Pašhura dēls, un Juhals, Šelemijas dēls, un Pašhurs, Malhijas dēls, dzirdēja tos vārdus, ko Jeremija uz visiem ļaudīm runāja sacīdams:
At that time, saith the Lord, I will be a God to the family of Israel, and they shall be to me a people.
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs: kas šai pilsētā paliek, tas mirs caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri, bet kas iet ārā pie Kaldejiem, tas dzīvos un savu dvēseli paturēs un dzīvos.
Thus saith the Lord, I found him warm in the wilderness with them that were slain with the sword: go ye and destroy not Israel.
3 Tā saka Tas Kungs: šī pilsēta dotin taps dota Bābeles ķēniņa karaspēkam rokā, ka tas to uzņem.
The Lord appeared to him from afar, [saying], I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore have I drawn thee in compassion.
4 Tad tie lielkungi sacīja uz ķēniņu: liec jel šo vīru nokaut; jo tā viņš rokas dara gurdenas tiem karavīriem, kas vēl atliek šai pilsētā, un rokas visiem ļaudīm, kad viņš tādus vārdus uz tiem runā; jo šis vīrs nemeklē šo ļaužu labumu, bet viņu ļaunumu.
For I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt yet take thy timbrel, and go forth with the party of them that make merry.
5 Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sacīja: redzi, viņš ir jūsu rokās, jo ķēniņš pret jums nekā nespēj.
For ye have planted vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: plant ye, and praise.
6 Tad tie ņēma Jeremiju, un to iemeta Malhijas, ķēniņa dēla, bedrē, kas bija cietuma pagalmā, un Jeremiju nolaida ar virvēm, bet tai bedrē nebija ūdens, bet dubļi, un Jeremija iegrima dubļos.
For it is a day when those that plead on the mountains of Ephraim shall call, [saying], Arise ye, and go up to Sion to the Lord your God.
7 Un Ebedmelehs, Moru vīrs, ķēniņa sulainis, kas bija ķēniņa namā, dzirdēja, ka tie Jeremiju bija metuši bedrē, un ķēniņš sēdēja Benjamina vārtos.
For thus saith the Lord to Jacob; Rejoice ye, and exult over the head of the nations: make proclamation, and praise ye: say, The Lord has delivered his people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Tad Ebedmelehs izgāja no ķēniņa nama un runāja uz ķēniņu un sacīja:
Behold, I bring them from the north, and will gather them from the end of the earth to the feast of the passover: and [the people] shall beget a great multitude, and they shall return hither.
9 Mans kungs un ķēniņ, šie vīri ir ļaunu darījuši ar visu, ko tie darījuši pravietim Jeremijam, ko tie metuši bedrē, un viņam savā vietā badu jāmirst, tāpēc ka maizes pilsētā vairs nav.
They went forth with weeping, and I will bring them back with consolation, causing them to lodge by the channels of waters in a straight way, and they shall not err in it: for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
10 Tad ķēniņš Ebedmeleham, tam Moru vīram, pavēlēja un sacīja: ņem no šejienes trīsdesmit vīrus līdz un izvelc pravieti Jeremiju no bedres, pirms viņš mirst.
Hear the words of the Lord, ye nations, and proclaim [them] to the islands afar off; say, He that scattered Israel will also gather him, and keep him as one that feeds his flock.
11 Tad Ebedmelehs ņēma tos vīrus un nāca ķēniņa namā apakš mantu kambara un ņēma no turienes kādas vecas saplīsušas drēbju lupatas un tās nolaida ar virvēm pie Jeremijas bedrē.
For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, he has rescued him out of the hand of them [that were] stronger than he.
12 Tad tas Moru vīrs Ebedmelehs sacīja uz Jeremiju: liec jel tās vecās saplīsušās drēbju lupatas apakš savām roku padusēm ap tām virvēm, un Jeremija tā darīja.
And they shall come, and shall rejoice in the mount of Sion, and shall come to the good things of the Lord, [even] to a land of corn, and wine, and fruits, and cattle, and sheep: and their soul shall be as a fruitful tree; and they shall hunger no more.
13 Un tie Jeremiju izvilka ar tām virvēm un viņu izcēla no bedres, un Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā.
Then shall the virgins rejoice in the assembly of youth, and the old men shall rejoice; and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will make them merry.
14 Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija nosūtīja un lika atvest pravieti Jeremiju pie sevis trešajā ieejamā vietā pie Tā Kunga nama. Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Jeremiju: es tev ko vaicāšu, neapslēp man nekā.
I will expand and cheer with wine the soul of the priests the sons of Levi, and my people shall be satisfied with my good things: thus saith the Lord.
15 Tad Jeremija sacīja uz Cedeķiju: kad es tev to sacīšu, tad tu mani kautin nokausi, un kad es tev padomu došu, tad tu tomēr mani neklausīsi.
A voice was heard in Rama, of lamentation, and of weeping, and wailing; Rachel would not cease weeping for her children, because they are not.
16 Un ķēniņš Cedeķija Jeremijam zvērēja paslepeni un sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas mums šo dvēseli radījis, es tevi nenokaušu un tevi nenodošu šiem vīriem rokā, kas tavu dvēseli meklē.
Thus saith the Lord; Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thine eyes from thy tears: for their is a reward for thy works; and they shall return from the land of [thine] enemies.
17 Tad Jeremija sacīja uz Cedeķiju: tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: ja tu iet iziesi pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, tad tava dvēsele dzīvos, un šī pilsēta netaps ar uguni sadedzināta, un tad tu dzīvosi, tu un tavs nams.
[There shall be] an abiding [home] for thy children.
18 Bet ja tu neiziesi pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, tad šī pilsēta Kaldejiem taps dota rokā, un tie to sadedzinās ar uguni, un tu no viņu rokas neizspruksi.
I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, [and saying], Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not [willingly] taught: turn thou me, and I shall turn; for thou [art] the Lord my God.
19 Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sacīja uz Jeremiju: es bīstos no tiem Jūdiem, kas Kaldejiem piekrituši, ka mani nenodod viņu rokā, un tie mani neapmēda.
For after my captivity I repented; and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and shewed thee that I bore reproach from my youth.
20 Un Jeremija sacīja: tevi nenodos; klausi jel Tā Kunga balsij, ko es uz tevi runāju, tad tev labi klāsies, un tava dvēsele dzīvos.
Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste [to help] him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
21 Bet ja tu liedzies iet ārā, tad šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs man parādījis:
Prepare thyself, O Sion; execute vengeance; look to thy ways: return, O virgin of Israel, by the way by which thou wentest, return mourning to thy cities.
22 Redzi, visas sievas, kas Jūda ķēniņa namā atliek, taps izvestas pie Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungiem, un tās sacīs: tavi draugi tevi pievīluši un tevi pārvarējuši, un kad nu tavas kājas iegrimušas dubļos, tad tie griezušies atpakaļ.
How long, O disgraced daughter, wilt thou turn away? for the Lord has created safety for a new plantation: men shall go about in safety.
23 Un visas tavas sievas un visi tavi bērni taps izvesti pie Kaldejiem, un tu pats neizspruksi no viņu rokām, bet tu tapsi sagrābts caur Bābeles ķēniņa roku un sadedzināsi šo pilsētu ar uguni.
For thus saith the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain!
24 Tad Cedeķija sacīja uz Jeremiju: lai neviens nezin par šiem vārdiem, ka tu nemirsti.
And there shall be dwellers in the cities of Juda, and in all his land, together with the husbandman, and [the shepherd] shall go forth with the flock.
25 Un kad tie lielkungi dzirdēs, ka es ar tevi esmu runājis, un tie nāk pie tevis un uz tevi saka: saki mums jel, ko tu ar ķēniņu esi runājis, neslēp to mums, tad mēs tevi nenokausim, un ko ķēniņš uz tevi runājis?
For I have saturated every thirsting soul, and filled every hungry soul.
26 Tad tev uz tiem būs sacīt: es pakritu lūgdams ķēniņa priekšā, ka tas mani neliktu vest Jonatana namā, tur mirt.
Therefore I awake, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.
27 Kad nu visi lielkungi pie Jeremijas nāca un viņu vaicāja, tad viņš tiem sacīja pēc visiem šiem vārdiem, ko ķēniņš bija pavēlējis. Un tie viņu atstāja mierā, jo tie to lietu nedabūja dzirdēt.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of man, and the seed of beast.
28 Un Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā līdz tai dienai, kad Jeruzāleme tapa uzņemta.
And it shall come to pass, that as I watched over them, to pull down, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.
In those days they shall certainly not say, The fathers ate a sour grape, and the children's teeth were set on edge.
But every one shall die in his own sin; and the teeth of him that eats the sour grape shall be set on edge.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; for they abode not in my covenant, and I disregarded them, saith the Lord.
For this is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
And they shall not at all teach every one his [fellow] citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.
Thus saith the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and [makes] a roaring in the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; the Lord Almighty is his name:
if these ordinances cease from before me, saith the Lord, then shall the family of Israel cease to be a nation before me forever.
Though the sky should be raised to a [greater] height, saith the Lord, and though the ground of the earth should be sunk [lower] beneath, yet I will not cast off the family of Israel, saith the Lord, for all that they have done.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Anameel to the gate of the corner.
And the measurement of it shall proceed in front of them as far as the hills of Gareb, and it shall be compassed with a circular wall of choice stones.
And all the Asaremoth even to Nachal Kedron, as far as the corner of the horse-gate eastward, shall be holiness to the Lord; and it shall not fail any more, and shall not be destroyed for ever.
