Jeremijas 46
1 Šis ir Tā Kunga vārds, kas notika uz pravieti Jeremiju pret pagānu tautām:
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the 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.
Concerning Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh-necho the king of Egypt, which was [posted] by the river Euphrates in Karkemish, which Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah.
3 Taisiet gatavas bruņas un sedzamas bruņas un ejat karā.
Make ye ready shield and buckler, and draw near to the battle.
4 Sedlojiet zirgus un kāpiet virsū, jātnieki, nostājaties vara cepurēs, triniet šķēpus, apvelciet krūšu bruņas.
Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets: sharpen the spears, and put on the coats of mail.
5 Kāpēc Es tos redzu bailīgus un atpakaļ bēgam, un viņu varenos sakautus un bēgam, ka neskatās atpakaļ? Briesmas visapkārt, saka Tas Kungs.
Wherefore have I seen them dismayed, moving backward? while their mighty ones are beaten down, and seek safety in flight, and look not back? There is terror round about, saith the Lord.
6 Ne čaklais var izbēgt, ne varenais izsprukt; pret ziemeli pie Eifrat upes krasta tie klūp un krīt.
The swift cannot flee away, nor can the mighty man escape: toward the north by the shore of the river Euphrates do they stumble and fall.
7 Kas tas, kas ceļas, kā upe, kam ūdeņi veļas kā straumes?
Who is this that cometh up like a stream, whose waters are upheaved like the rivers?
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 cometh up like a stream, and like the rivers are the waters upheaved; and he saith, I will go up, I will cover the land; I will destroy the city and those that dwell therein.
9 Ceļaties, zirgi, rībiet, rati! Lai varoņi iziet, Moru ļaudis un no Puta, kas bruņas tura, un Līdieši, kas stopu nes un uzvelk.
Come up, ye horses; and rush along wildly, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: Cush and Put, that grasp the shield, and the Ludim, that grasp and bend the bow.
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.
And this same day is for the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, a day of vengeance, to be avenged on his adversaries; that the sword may devour, and may be satiated and made drunken with their blood; for there is a sacrifice for the Lord the Eternal of hosts in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Ej augšā uz Gileādu un dabū zalves(balzāmu), jaunava, Ēģiptes meita! Velti, ka tu daudz zāļojies, jo dziedināšanas tev nav.
Go up into Gil'ad, and fetch balm, O virgin, daughter of Egypt: in vain usest thou many remedies; there is no recovery for thee.
12 Tautas dzird tavu kaunu, un zeme ir pilna tavas kaukšanas, jo ir straipelejuši varonis uz varoni, un abi kopā krituši.
Nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry of anguish hath filled the earth; for the mighty man over the mighty have they stumbled, together are both of them fallen.
13 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs runāja uz pravieti Jeremiju par Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, nākšanu, kaut Ēģiptes zemi:
The word which the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, to smite the land of 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.
Announce ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Thachpanches: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thyself; for the sword devoureth round about thee.
15 Kāpēc tavi varenie nogāzti? Tie nepastāvēja, jo Tas Kungs tos gāzis.
Why are thy valiant men swept away? not one hath stood, because the Lord did drive him off.
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.
He caused many to stumble; yea, one also fell over the other; and they said, Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from before the wasting sword.
17 Tur sauc: Faraons, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, ir pagalam, viņš savu laiku nav licis vērā.
They called out there, Pharaoh is king of Egypt, it was but vaunting, he hath let the time appointed pass by.
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, saith the King, the Lord of hosts is his name, Surely as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel is by the sea, so shall he come.
19 Gādā sev ceļa lietas, iedzīvotāja, Ēģiptes meita, jo Nofa taps par tuksnesi un taps sadedzināta, ka neviens tur nedzīvos.
Appurtenances of exile make for thyself, O thou inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; for Noph shall be made a waste and be left desolate without an inhabitant.
20 Ēģipte ir dižena tele, dundurs no ziemeļiem nāk, tiešām nāk.
O fairest heifer, Egypt! the butcher from the north cometh, he cometh.
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.
Also her hired troops in the midst of her are like fatted calves; for they also are turned round, are fled away together, they do not stand; because the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their punishment.
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.
Her cry shall come like [the hissing of] a serpent; for with an army shall they march, and with axes do they come against her, like hewers of wood.
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 cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched out; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and there is no number to them.
24 Ēģiptes meita stāv kaunā, rokā dota ļaudīm no ziemeļiem.
Ashamed hath been made the daughter of Egypt: she hath been given up into the hand of 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 of hosts, the God of Israel, hath said, Behold, I will send visitation on Ahmon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Egypt, and on her gods, and on her kings; even on Pharaoh, and on those that trust on him;
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.
And I will give them up into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward shall she be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith 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 thou, —fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel; for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and he shall be at rest and at ease, with none to make him afraid.
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.
Thou, —fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: and although I make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, yet of thee will I not make a full end; and I will correct thee in measure; yet wholly will I not leave thee unpunished.
