Jeremijas 46
1 Šis ir Tā Kunga vārds, kas notika uz pravieti Jeremiju pret pagānu tautām:
In the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah the prophet about foreign nations.
2 Pret Ēģipti, pret Faraonu Nekus, Ēģiptes ķēniņa, karaspēku, kas bija pie Eifrat upes, pie Karķemisa, ko Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, sakāva Jojaķima, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, ceturtā gadā.
This concerns Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt and the Egyptian army which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
3 Taisiet gatavas bruņas un sedzamas bruņas un ejat karā.
Pick up both your small and large shields, and advance ready for battle!
4 Sedlojiet zirgus un kāpiet virsū, jātnieki, nostājaties vara cepurēs, triniet šķēpus, apvelciet krūšu bruņas.
Put the harnesses on the horses and get into your chariots; take your positions with your helmets on! Sharpen your spears; put on your armor!
5 Kāpēc Es tos redzu bailīgus un atpakaļ bēgam, un viņu varenos sakautus un bēgam, ka neskatās atpakaļ? Briesmas visapkārt, saka Tas Kungs.
Why do I see their lines broken and retreating? Their soldiers are defeated. They run away so quickly they don't even look back because they're so terrified by what's happening around them, declares the Lord.
6 Ne čaklais var izbēgt, ne varenais izsprukt; pret ziemeli pie Eifrat upes krasta tie klūp un krīt.
Even the fastest of them can't get away; the soldiers can't escape. There in the north beside the Euphrates they fall and die.
7 Kas tas, kas ceļas, kā upe, kam ūdeņi veļas kā straumes?
Who is this that's coming, rising like the Nile, like swirling rivers whose waters flood?
8 Ēģiptes zeme ceļas kā upe, un viņas ūdeņi veļas kā straumes un saka: “Es celšos liela, es apklāšu zemi, es maitāšu pilsētas, un kas tur dzīvo.”
Egypt is rising like the Nile; its waters swirl like flooding rivers, boasting, “I will rise and sweep over the earth; I will destroy towns and the people in them.”
9 Ceļaties, zirgi, rībiet, rati! Lai varoņi iziet, Moru ļaudis un no Puta, kas bruņas tura, un Līdieši, kas stopu nes un uzvelk.
Horses, charge in! Chariots, drive like crazy! Have the infantry advance: soldiers from Ethiopia and Put carrying their shields, archers from Lydia with their bows.
10 Šī diena ir Tā Kunga, Tā Kunga Cebaot atriebšanās diena, ka Viņš atriebjās pie Saviem pretiniekiem, un zobens ēdīs un rīs un piedzersies no viņu asinīm. Jo Tam Kungam, Tam Kungam Cebaot, ir kauja ziemeļu zemē pie Eifrat upes.
But this is the day of the Lord God Almighty, a day of retribution when he takes vengeance on his enemies. The sword will destroy until it is satisfied, until it's had enough of their blood. The Lord God Almighty is having a sacrifice in the north country beside the Euphrates.
11 Ej augšā uz Gileādu un dabū zalves(balzāmu), jaunava, Ēģiptes meita! Velti, ka tu daudz zāļojies, jo dziedināšanas tev nav.
Go and find some healing ointment in Gilead, Virgin Daughter of Egypt! But whatever you use to help you will fail, because there's nothing that will heal you.
12 Tautas dzird tavu kaunu, un zeme ir pilna tavas kaukšanas, jo ir straipelejuši varonis uz varoni, un abi kopā krituši.
The other nations have heard how you were humiliated in defeat. Everyone can hear your cries of pain. Soldiers fall over each other, and die together.
13 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs runāja uz pravieti Jeremiju par Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, nākšanu, kaut Ēģiptes zemi:
This is the message that the Lord gave to Jeremiah the prophet about the attack by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon on Egypt:
14 Sludinājiet Ēģiptes zemē, dariet zināmu Migdalā, sauciet to arī Novā un Takvanesā, sakāt: celies un taisies gatava, jo zobens ir aprijis, kas ap tevi.
Shout a warning in Egypt! Tell everyone in Migdol, and in Memphis and Tahpanhes: Get ready to defend yourselves, because war is destroying everything around you.
15 Kāpēc tavi varenie nogāzti? Tie nepastāvēja, jo Tas Kungs tos gāzis.
Why did Apis your bull god run away? He couldn't stand his ground because the Lord has knocked him down.
16 Viņš dara, ka daudzi gāžas, un viens krīt uz otru, un tie saka: ceļaties, iesim atpakaļ pie saviem ļaudīm un uz savu dzimteni no rijēja zobena.
Many soldiers trip and fall over one another and say, “Come on! Let's get back home to our people where we were born, otherwise we're going to be killed.”
17 Tur sauc: Faraons, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, ir pagalam, viņš savu laiku nav licis vērā.
When they get there they'll say about Pharaoh king of Egypt, “He just makes a lot of noise. He wasted his opportunity.”
18 Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka tas Ķēniņš, kam vārds ir Kungs Cebaot: viņš nāks kā Tābors starp kalniem un kā Karmels jūrmalā.
As I live, declares the King who has the name “the Lord Almighty,” the king of Babylon will come. He is like Mount Tabor that stands out from the other mountains, like Mount Carmel high above the sea.
19 Gādā sev ceļa lietas, iedzīvotāja, Ēģiptes meita, jo Nofa taps par tuksnesi un taps sadedzināta, ka neviens tur nedzīvos.
Pack your bags ready for exile, daughter living in Egypt! Memphis is going to be destroyed, an empty place where no one lives.
20 Ēģipte ir dižena tele, dundurs no ziemeļiem nāk, tiešām nāk.
Egypt is a beautiful young cow, but a stinging insect from the north is coming to attack her.
21 Arī viņas karavīri viņas vidū ir kā baroti teļi; tomēr arī tie griež muguru, visi kopā bēg un nestāv, jo viņu nelaimes diena tiem uzbrukusi, viņu piemeklēšanas laiks.
The soldiers that Egypt hired are like calves made fat for slaughter. They will also retreat. They won't stand and fight—they will all run away. Their day of destruction is coming; the time when they'll be punished.
22 Viņas balss būs, tā kā čab, čūskai lienot, jo tie celsies uz turieni ar karaspēku un nāks pie viņiem ar cirvjiem, kā malkas cirtēji.
The Egyptians will retreat with a rustle like a snake sliding away, because the enemy will attack them with axes, coming at them like wood-cutters chopping down trees.
23 Tie nocirtīs viņas mežu, saka Tas Kungs, jebšu tas ir liels un biezs, jo to ir vairāk nekā siseņu, ka tos nevar skaitīt.
They will cut them down like a thick forest, declares the Lord, because the invaders are like a swarm of locusts—there's so many of them that they can't be counted.
24 Ēģiptes meita stāv kaunā, rokā dota ļaudīm no ziemeļiem.
The people of Egypt will be humiliated. They will be handed over to the people of the north.
25 Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, saka: redzi, Es piemeklēšu Amonu Noā un Faraonu un Ēģipti un viņas dievus un viņas ķēniņus, Faraonu un tos, kas uz viņu paļaujas;
The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch, because I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and Pharaoh. I will punish the people of Egypt with their gods and kings, and everyone who trusts in Pharaoh.
26 Un Es tos nodošu tiem rokā, kas viņu dvēseles meklē, un Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, rokā, un viņa kalpu rokā. Bet pēcgalā tur dzīvos tā kā vecos laikos, saka Tas Kungs.
I'm going to hand them over to those who want to kill them, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after all this happens, people will live in Egypt as they used to, declares the Lord.
27 Bet tu, nebīsties, Mans kalps Jēkab, un neiztrūcinājies, Israēl! Jo redzi, Es tevi atpestīšu no tālienes un tavu dzimumu no viņa cietuma zemes; un Jēkabs griezīsies atpakaļ un paliks mierā, un viņam klāsies labi, un neviens viņu neiztrūcinās.
But you, descendants of Jacob my servant, you don't have to be fearful. Israelites, you don't need to be discouraged. I promise to rescue you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. You will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
28 Tu tad nebīsties, Mans kalps Jēkab, saka Tas Kungs; jo Es esmu pie tevis. Jo Es darīšu galu visām pagānu tautām, kurp Es tevi biju aizdzinis, bet tev Es nedarīšu galu, bet Es tevi pārmācīšu pēc taisnības, un tevi nepametīšu nepārmācītu.
You descendants of Jacob, don't be afraid! declares the Lord, for I will be with you. I will completely destroy all the nations where I've scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
