Jeremijas 40

1 Šis ir tas vārds, kas uz Jeremiju notika no Tā Kunga, kad pils karavīru virsnieks Nebuzaradans viņu ņēma un atlaida no Rāmas, kur viņš bija ķēdēs saslēgts starp visiem Jeruzālemes un Jūda ļaudīm, kas tapa aizvesti uz Bābeli cietumā.

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains amongst all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were carried away captive to Babylon.

2 Bet pils karavīru virsnieks lika Jeremiju atvest un sacīja uz viņu: Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, šo ļaunumu par šo vietu runājis,

The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, “The LORD your God pronounced this evil on this place;

3 Un Tas Kungs tam ir licis nākt un darījis, kā viņš ir runājis, jo jūs esat grēkojuši pret To Kungu un neesat klausījuši viņa balsij, tāpēc jums tā noticis.

and the LORD has brought it, and done according as he spoke. Because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come on you.

4 Tad nu redzi, es tevi šodien laižu vaļā no tām ķēdēm pie tavām rokām; ja tev patīk man nākt līdz uz Bābeli, tad nāc, es labi par tevi gādāšu. Bet ja tas tev nepatīk, man nākt līdz uz Bābeli, tad lai paliek. Redzi, visa zeme ir tavā priekšā, kurp iet tev liekās labi un taisni, turp ej.

Now, behold, I release you today from the chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad to you to come with me into Babylon, don’t. Behold, all the land is before you. Where it seems good and right to you to go, go there.”

5 Un viņam vēl projām neejot, tas sacīja: tad griezies pie Ģedalijas, Aīkama dēla, Safana dēla dēla, ko Bābeles ķēniņš iecēlis pār Jūda pilsētām, un dzīvo pie tā starp tiem ļaudīm, jeb visur, kur tev patīk iet, turp ej. Un pils karavīru virsnieks viņam deva ceļa maizi un dāvanu un viņu atlaida.

Now while he had not yet gone back, “Go back then,” he said, “to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him amongst the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.

6 Tā Jeremija nāca pie Ģedalijas, Aīkama dēla, uz Micpu, un dzīvoja pie tā starp tiem ļaudīm, kas bija atlikuši tai zemē.

Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and lived with him amongst the people who were left in the land.

7 Kad nu visi kara virsnieki, kas laukā turējās līdz ar saviem karavīriem, dzirdēja, ka Bābeles ķēniņš Ģedaliju, Aīkama dēlu, bija iecēlis pār to zemi, un ka viņš tam bija novēlējis vīrus un sievas un bērniņus un tās zemes ļaudis no zemas kārtas, kas uz Bābeli nebija aizvesti,

Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, women, children, and of the poorest of the land, of those who were not carried away captive to Babylon,

8 Tad tie nāca pie Ģedalijas uz Micpu, proti Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, un Jehohanans un Jonatans, Kareūs dēli, un Seraja, Tanumeta dēls, un Evajus dēli no Netofas un Jaazanija, Maāhatus dēls, līdz ar saviem vīriem.

then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Yochanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men came to Gedaliah to Mizpah.

9 Un Ģedalija, Aīkama dēls, Safana dēla dēls, zvērēja tiem un viņu vīriem un sacīja: nebīstaties Kaldejiem kalpot, palieciet šai zemē un kalpojiet Bābeles ķēniņam, tad jums labi klāsies.

Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, “Don’t be afraid to serve the Kasdim. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.

10 Un redzi, es dzīvoju Micpā, stāvēt Kaldeju priekšā, kas pie mums nāk; tad nu krājiet vīnu un labību un eļļu un liekat to savos traukos un dzīvojiet savās pilsētās, ko esat uzņēmuši.

As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Kasdim who will come to us; but you, gather wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.”

11 Un visi Jūdi, kas bija Moabā un pie Amona bērniem un Edomā un visās tanīs valstīs, kad dzirdēja, ka Bābeles ķēniņš kādus bija atstājis iekš Jūda, un pār tiem bija iecēlis Ģedaliju, Aīkama dēlu, Safana dēla dēlu,

Likewise when all the Jews who were in Moab, and amongst the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,

12 Tad visi Jūdi griezās atpakaļ no visām vietām, kurp tie bija aizdzīti, un nāca uz Jūda zemi pie Ģedalijas uz Micpu un sakrāja vīnu un labību lielā pulkā.

then all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered very much wine and summer fruits.

13 Bet Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, un visi kara virsnieki, kas laukā turējās, nāca pie Ģedalijas uz Micpu

Moreover Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

14 Un sacīja uz viņu: vai tu gan zini, ka Baālis, Amona bērnu ķēniņš, ir sūtījis Ismaēli, Netanijas dēlu, tev ņemt dzīvību? Bet Ģedalija, Aīkama dēls, viņiem neticēja.

and said to him, “Do you know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam didn’t believe them.

15 Tad Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, runāja uz Ģedaliju paslepeni Micpā un sacīja: lūdzams liec man iet un nokaut Ismaēli, Netanijas dēlu, ka neviens to nezin. Kāpēc viņam tevi būs nokaut un visiem Jūdiem, kas pie tevis sapulcinājušies, izklīst un tiem atlikušiem no Jūda iet bojā?

Then Yochanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, “Please let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man will know it. Why should he take your life, that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?”

16 Bet Ģedalija, Aīkama dēls, sacīja uz Jehohananu, Kareūs dēlu: Nedari tā, jo tu runā melus par Ismaēli.

But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Yochanan the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael.”
