< 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 Gentiles;
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.
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, who was by the river Euphrates in Carshemish, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 Taisiet gatavas bruņas un sedzamas bruņas un ejat karā.
Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to 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 [your] helmets; furbish 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.
Why have I seen them dismayed [and] turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and look not back: [for] fear [was] on all sides, saith the LORD.
6 Ne čaklais var izbēgt, ne varenais izsprukt; pret ziemeli pie Eifrat upes krasta tie klūp un krīt.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape! they shall stumble, and fall towards the north by the river Euphrates.
7 Kas tas, kas ceļas, kā upe, kam ūdeņi veļas kā straumes?
Who [is] this [that] cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as 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 riseth up like a flood, and [his] waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, [and] will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.
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 rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: the Cushites and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians that handle [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.
For this [is] the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiated and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice 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 Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; [for] thou shalt not be cured.
12 Tautas dzird tavu kaunu, un zeme ir pilna tavas kaukšanas, jo ir straipelejuši varonis uz varoni, un abi kopā krituši.
The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, [and] they have fallen both together.
13 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs runāja uz pravieti Jeremiju par Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, nākšanu, kaut Ēģiptes zemi:
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come [and] 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.
Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour around thee.
15 Kāpēc tavi varenie nogāzti? Tie nepastāvēja, jo Tas Kungs tos gāzis.
Why are thy valiant [men] swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
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 made many to fall, yes, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 Tur sauc: Faraons, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, ir pagalam, viņš savu laiku nav licis vērā.
They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt [is but] a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
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, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor [is] among the mountains, and as Carmel 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.
O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 Ēģipte ir dižena tele, dundurs no ziemeļiem nāk, tiešām nāk.
Egypt [is like] a very fair heifer, [but] destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
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 men [are] in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also have turned back, [and] have fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity had come upon them, [and] the time of their visitation.
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 voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as 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 shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and [are] innumerable.
24 Ēģiptes meita stāv kaunā, rokā dota ļaudīm no ziemeļiem.
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered 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 saith: Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and [all] them that trust in 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 deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall 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 fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall 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.
Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I [am] with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
