Jeremijas 42

1 Tad visi kara virsnieki, Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, un Jaazanija, Ozajas dēls, un visi ļaudis, mazi un lieli, piegāja

Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,

2 Un sacīja uz pravieti Jeremiju: lai jel mūsu sirsnīgā lūgšana tev ir pieņēmīga, un lūdz mūsu dēļ To Kungu, savu Dievu, par šiem atlikušiem, jo no daudziem mēs mazums esam atlikušies, kā tavas acis mūs redz,

and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us,

3 Ka Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, mums darītu zināmu to ceļu, pa ko mums jāstaigā un to vārdu, pēc kā mums jādara!

that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the things that we should do.”

4 Un pravietis Jeremija uz tiem sacīja: es paklausīšu, redzi, es pielūgšu To Kungu, jūsu Dievu, pēc jūsu vārdiem, un visu, ko Tas Kungs atbildēs, to es jums sacīšu un nekā neslēpšu.

Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it will happen that whatever thing the LORD answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.”

5 Tad tie sacīja uz Jeremiju: lai Tas Kungs pret mums ir patiesīgs un taisns liecinieks, ja mēs nedarīsim pēc ikkatra vārda, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, mums pavēlēs.

Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness amongst us, if we don’t do according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to tell us.

6 Lai būtu labs, lai ļauns, mēs klausīsim Tā Kunga, sava Dieva balsij, pie kā mēs tevi sūtam; lai mums labi klājās, kad mēs Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij klausīsim.

Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.”

7 Un pēc desmit dienām Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Jeremiju.

After ten days, the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah.

8 Tad viņš aicināja Jehohananu, Kareūs dēlu, un visus kara virsniekus, kas bija pie viņa, un visus ļaudis, mazus un lielus.

Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

9 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, pie kā jūs mani esat sūtījuši, jūsu lūgšanu nest priekš Viņa vaiga.

and said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says:

10 Ja jūs paliksiet dzīvot šai zemē, tad Es jūs gribu uztaisīt un nenolauzīt, Es jūs gribu dēstīt un neizraut, jo Man jau ir žēl tā ļaunuma, ko Es jums esmu darījis.

‘If you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.

11 Nebīstaties no Bābeles ķēniņa, no kā vaiga jūs bīstaties; nebīstaties no viņa, saka Tas Kungs; jo Es esmu ar jums, jūs atpestīt un jūs izglābt no viņa rokas.

Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Don’t be afraid of him,’ says the LORD, ‘for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

12 Un Es jums došu žēlastību, ka viņš par jums apžēlojās un jūs atkal atlaiž uz jūsu zemi.

I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.

13 Bet ja jūs sacīsiet: mēs šai zemē negribam palikt, un neklausīsiet Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij,

“‘But if you say, “We will not dwell in this land,” so that you don’t obey the LORD your God’s voice,

14 Un sacīsiet: Nē, bet mēs iesim uz Ēģiptes zemi, kur neredzēsim karu un nedzirdēsim trumetes balsi, nedz būsim izsalkuši pēc maizes, un tur mēs gribam dzīvot,

saying, “No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will dwell;”’

15 Nu tad klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, jūs atlikušie no Jūda! Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: ja jūs savu vaigu griezīsiet, iet uz Ēģipti un iesiet tur piemājot, -

now therefore hear the LORD’s word, O remnant of Judah! The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there,

16 Tad tas zobens, no kā jūs bīstaties, jūs panāks Ēģiptes zemē, un tas bads, par ko jūs bēdājaties, jums tur noies pakaļ, un jūs tur nomirsiet.

then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.

17 Tā visiem vīriem, kas savu vaigu griež, iet uz Ēģipti, tur piemājot, būs mirt caur zobenu un caur badu un caur mēri, un no tiem neviens neatliks un neizbēgs no tā ļaunuma, ko Es pār tiem vedīšu.

So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’

18 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: tā kā Mana dusmība un Mana bardzība ir izgāzta pār Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem, tā Mana bardzība pār jums izgāzīsies, kad jūs iesiet uz Ēģipti, un jūs būsiet par lāstu un briesmām un par apsmieklu un kaunu, un vairs neredzēsiet šo vietu.

For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’

19 Tas Kungs pret jums runājis, jūs atlikušie no Jūda: neejat uz Ēģipti. Ziniet zinādami, ka es šodien pret jums esmu liecību devis.

“The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Don’t go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.

20 Jo jūs pieviļat savas dvēseles: Jūs mani esat sūtījuši pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, un sacījuši: lūdz par mums To Kungu, mūsu Dievu, un tā kā Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, sacīs, tā mums to dari zināmu, un mēs to gribam darīt.

For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’

21 Nu es jums to esmu sacījis, bet jūs neklausāt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij, nedz tam, ar ko Viņš mani pie jums sūtījis.

I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed the LORD your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to you.

22 Tad ziniet nu, ka jūs caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri mirsiet tai vietā, kurp gribat iet, tur piemājot.

Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”
