Jeremijas 39
1 Un notikās, kad Jeruzāleme bija uzņemta: (Cedeķijas, Jūda ķēniņa, devītā gadā, desmitā mēnesī, Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, un viss viņa karaspēks nāca pret Jeruzālemi un apmetās ap viņu;
After King Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost nine years, King Nebuchadnezzar came in January with his army, and they surrounded Jerusalem.
2 Vienpadsmitā Cedeķijas gadā, ceturtā mēnesī, devītā mēneša dienā tie ielauzās pilsētā)
One and a half years later, after Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years, on July 18, [soldiers from Babylonia] broke through the city [wall. Then they rushed in and captured the city].
3 Tad visi Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungi iegāja iekšā un apstājās pie vidējiem vārtiem, proti NergalSarecers, SamgarNebo, kambarjunkuru virsnieks Sarzeķims, gudro virsnieks NergalSarecers, un visi citi Bābeles ķēniņa lielkungi.
Then all the officers of the king of Babylon came in and sat down at the Middle Gate [to decide what they would do to the city. They included] Nergal-Sharezer from Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim who was one of the chief army officers, another Nergal-Sharezer, the king’s advisor, and many other officials.
4 Un notikās, kad Cedeķija, Jūda ķēniņš, un visi karavīri tos redzēja, tad tie bēga un izgāja naktī no pilsētas ārā pa to ceļu pie ķēniņa dārza, pa vārtiem starp tiem diviem mūriem, un viņš gāja pa klajuma ceļu.
When King Zedekiah and all his soldiers realized that [the army of Babylonia had broken into the city], they fled. [They waited until] it was dark. Then they went out of the city through the king’s garden, through the gate that was between the two walls. Then they started [running] toward the Jordan River Valley.
5 Bet Kaldeju spēks viņiem dzinās pakaļ un panāca Cedeķiju Jērikus klajumos un to saņēma un veda augšām pie Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, uz Riblu Hamatas zemē, un tas par viņu sprieda tiesu.
But the soldiers from Babylonia pursued the king, and they caught him on the plains near Jericho. They took him to the King of Babylon, who was at Riblah [town] in the Hamath [region]. There the king of Babylon told [his soldiers what] they should do to punish Zedekiah.
6 Un Bābeles ķēniņš nokāva Cedeķijas bērnus Riblā priekš viņa acīm, un visus cienīgos no Jūda Bābeles ķēniņš nokāva.
They forced Zedekiah to watch while they killed his sons and all the officials from Judah.
7 Un viņš lika izdurt Cedeķijas acis un to saistīja ar divām vara ķēdēm, viņu aizvest uz Bābeli.
[Then] they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They fastened him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
8 Un Kaldeji sadedzināja ķēniņa namu un tos ļaužu namus ar uguni un noārdīja Jeruzālemes mūrus.
[Meanwhile, ] the Babylonian army burned the palace and all the other buildings in Jerusalem. And they tore down the city walls.
9 Bet tos atlikušos ļaudis, kas pilsētā bija atlikuši, un tos bēgļus, kas pie viņa bija pārgājuši, līdz ar tiem citiem ļaudīm, kas bija atlikuši, pils karavīru virsnieks Nebuzaradans noveda uz Bābeli.
Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the [king’s] bodyguards, forced to go to Babylon [most of] the other people who remained in the city and the Jews who had joined the soldiers of Babylonia.
10 Bet no tiem ļaudīm, kas bija zemas kārtas, kam nekā nebija, pils karavīru virsnieks Nebuzaradans, pameta Jūda zemē un deva tiem tai dienā vīna dārzus un tīrumus.
But he allowed some of the very poor people to remain in Judah, and he gave them vineyards and fields [to take care of].
11 Bet par Jeremiju Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija pavēlējis pils karavīru virsniekam Nebuzaradanam un sacījis:
King Nebuchadnezzar had [previously] told Nebuzaradan to find me. He said,
12 Ņem viņu un lūko labi pēc viņa un nedari viņam nekā ļauna, bet kā viņš tev sacīs, tā dari ar viņu.
“Make sure that no one harms him. Take care of him, and do for him whatever he requests you to do.”
13 Tad sūtīja pils karavīru virsnieks Nebuzaradans un kambarjunkuru virsnieks Nebuzazbans un gudro virsnieks NergalSarecers un Bābeles ķēniņa virsnieki visi,
So he and Nebushazban, who was one of their chief officers, and Nergal-Sharezer the king’s advisor, and other officers of the King of Babylon
14 Tie sūtīja un ņēma Jeremiju no cietuma pagalma un nodeva viņu Ģedalijam, Aīkama dēlam, Safana dēla dēlam, viņu vest namā; tā viņš palika pie tiem ļaudīm.
sent [some men] to bring me out of the courtyard outside of the palace. They took me to Gedaliah who was the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan. Then Gedaliah took me to my home, and I stayed [in Judah] among [my own] people [who had been allowed to remain there].
15 Bet Tā Kunga vārds bija noticis uz Jeremiju, kad viņš vēl cietuma pagalmā tapa turēts, sacīdams:
While I was [still] being guarded in the palace courtyard, Yahweh gave me this message:
16 Ej un runā uz to Mora vīru Ebedmelehu un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: redzi, Es Saviem vārdiem likšu nākt pār šo pilsētu par ļaunu un ne par labu, un tai dienā tas būs priekš tavām acīm.
“Say this to Ebed-Melech, the official from Ethiopia: ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: “I will do to this city everything that I said that I would do. I will not enable the people to prosper; I will cause them to experience disasters. You will see Jerusalem being destroyed,
17 Bet tevi Es tai dienā gribu izglābt un tu netapsi nodots tiem vīriem rokā, no kā tu bīsties.
but I will rescue you from the people whom you are afraid of.
18 Jo Es tiešām tevi izglābšu un tu nekritīsi caur zobenu, bet savu dvēseli paturēsi, tāpēc ka tu esi paļāvies uz Mani, saka Tas Kungs.
You trusted me, so I will save you. You will not be killed by [your enemies’] swords; you will remain alive. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
