Jeremijas 4
1 Ja tu atgriezīsies, Israēl, saka Tas Kungs, pie Manis atgriezīsies, un ja tu savas negantības Manā priekšā atstāsi un neskraidīsi apkārt,
If you will return, O Israel, says the LORD, return to me: and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight, then shall you not remove.
2 Un ja tu zvērēsi: „tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo!“Ar patiesību, ar tiesu un ar taisnību, tad tautas iekš viņa svētīsies un ar viņu lielīsies.
And you shall swear, The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs uz Jūda un Jeruzālemes vīriem: ariet sev jaunu zemi un nesējat ērkšķos.
For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
4 Apgraizaties Tam Kungam un atņemat nost savas sirds priekšādu, Jūda vīri un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji, ka Mana bardzība neizšaujās kā uguns un nedeg, ka neviens nevar dzēst, jūsu nedarbu dēļ.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
5 Sludinājiet Jūdā un Jeruzālemē, liekat to dzirdēt un stāstiet, bazūnējat ar bazūni tai zemē, sauciet ar pilnu muti un sakāt: sapulcinājaties un iesim stiprās pilsētās.
Declare you in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow you the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defended cities.
6 Paceļat karogu uz Ciānu, bēgat, nestāvat. Jo Es atvedu nelaimi no ziemeļa puses un lielu postu.
Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
7 Lauva ceļas no sava biezuma, un tautu maitātājs nāk; viņš ir izgājis no savas vietas, tavu zemi darīt tukšu, lai tavas pilsētas top izpostītas, ka neviens tur vairs nedzīvo.
The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make your land desolate; and your cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8 Tādēļ apjoziet maisus, žēlojaties un kauciet, jo Tā Kunga bardzības karstums no mums neatstājās.
For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
9 Tai dienā, saka Tas Kungs, iznīks ķēniņa sirds drošība un lielo kungu sirds drošība, un priesteri izbīsies, un pravieši iztrūcināsies.
And it shall come to pass at that day, says the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
10 Tad es sacīju: ak Kungs, Dievs! Patiesi, šiem ļaudīm un Jeruzālemei Tu esi ļāvis kļūt lielā viltū, ka sacīja: jums būs miers! Kur tomēr zobens sniedzās līdz pat dvēselei.
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, You shall have peace; whereas the sword reaches to the soul.
11 Tanī laikā sacīs uz šiem ļaudīm un uz Jeruzālemi: sauss vējš nāk no augstiem tuksneša kalniem pret Manu tautu, ne vētīšanas, ne tīrīšanas pēc.
At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12 Vējš Man nāks, kas stiprāks būs nekā viņi, tad arī Es nesīšu tiesu pret viņiem.
Even a full wind from those places shall come to me: now also will I give sentence against them.
13 Redzi, viņš cēlās kā debesis, un viņa rati ir kā viesulis, viņa zirgi ir čaklāki nekā ērgļi, - ak vai, mums, jo mēs esam postā!
Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are spoiled.
14 Mazgā savu sirdi no ļaunuma, Jeruzāleme, ka topi izglābta; cik ilgi tu savas nelietības domas glabāsi savā sirdī?
O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?
15 Jo balss sludina no Dana un ziņo bēdas no Efraīma kalniem.
For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes affliction from mount Ephraim.
16 Dariet pagāniem zināmu, redzi, sludinājiet par Jeruzālemi: sargi nāk no tālas zemes, un tie paceļ savu balsi pret Jūda pilsētām.
Make you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
17 Kā sargi ap tīrumu, tā tie būs visapkārt pret viņu, tādēļ ka tā pret Mani cēlusies, saka Tas Kungs.
As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she has been rebellious against me, says the LORD.
18 Tavs ceļš un tavi nedarbi tev to padara; tā ir tava blēdība, kas tik rūgta, ka tā sniedzās līdz pat tavai sirdij.
Your way and your doings have procured these things to you; this is your wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches to your heart.
19 Ak manas iekšas, manas iekšas! Kā bērnu sāpes man spiežas caur manu sirdi, mana sirds lec iekš manis, es nevaru klusu ciest, jo mana dvēsele dzird bazūnes skaņu un kara troksni.
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20 Posts pār postu tiek daudzināts. Jo visa zeme ir postīta, piepeši ir postīti mani dzīvokļi, acumirklī manas teltis.
Destruction on destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
21 Cik ilgi jel man būs redzēt karogu, dzirdēt bazūnes skaņu?
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 Tiešām, mani ļaudis ir traki un mani nepazīst; tie ir ģeķīgi bērni un neprātīgi. Tie gan ir gudri, ļaunu darīt, bet labu darīt tie nemāk.
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are silly children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 Es uzlūkoju zemi, un redzi, tā ir tumša un tukša, - un debesi, un viņai nav sava gaišuma.
I beheld the earth, and, see, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 Es uzlūkoju kalnus, un redzi, tie dreb, un visi kalni trīc.
I beheld the mountains, and, see, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 Es lūkoju, un redzi, neviena cilvēka nav, un visi putni apakš debess ir aizskrējuši.
I beheld, and, see, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 Es lūkoju, un redzi, auglīgais lauks ir tuksnesis, un visas viņa pilsētas ir salauztas priekš Tā Kunga un priekš Viņa bardzības karstuma.
I beheld, and, see, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: visa tā zeme būs postā, tomēr Es to neizpostīšu pavisam.
For thus has the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 Tādēļ zeme bēdāsies, un debess augšām aptumšosies, jo Es to esmu runājis un apņēmies, un tas Man nebūs žēl, un no tā Es neatkāpšos.
For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
29 Visas pilsētas bēgs no jātnieku un strēlnieku trokšņa, tie ies biezos mežos un kāps uz klints kalniem, visas pilsētas taps atstātas, un neviena nebūs, kas tur dzīvos.
The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up on the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30 Ko tu tad darīsi, tu postītā? Jebšu tu apģērbsies ar purpuru, jebšu tu izgreznosies ar zelta glītumu, jebšu tu savas acis darīsi jaukas, tad tu tomēr velti izgreznosies. Tie drauģeļi tevi apsmies, tie meklēs tavu dvēseli.
And when you are spoiled, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with crimson, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you rend your face with painting, in vain shall you make yourself fair; your lovers will despise you, they will seek your life.
31 Jo Es dzirdu kā dzemdētājas balsi, vaidēšanu, kā no tās, kas cieš pirmās bērnu sāpes, Ciānas meitas balsi; tā vaid un izpleš savas rokas: ak vai, man! Jo manu dvēseli nomāc slepkavas.
For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that mourns herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
