Jeremijas 5
1 Ejat apkārt pa Jeruzālemes ielām un pieraugāt jel un ņemiet vērā un meklējiet pa viņas platām ielām, vai jūs varat kādu atrast, vai ir kāds, kas taisnību dara un patiesību meklē, - tad Es viņai piedošu.
Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and notice, and search in its broad places, if ye can find one man, if there be one that executeth justice, that searcheth for truth: and I will pardon it.
2 Un jebšu tie visi saka: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, tomēr tie zvēr nepatiesi.
And though they say, “As the Lord liveth!” surely they only swear to a falsehood.
3 Ak Kungs! Vai Tavas acis (neraugās) uz ticību? Tu tos siti, bet tie nejūt sāpes, Tu tos apbēdini, bet tie negrib pieņemt pārmācību; tie savus vaigus apcietinājuši vairāk nekā akmeni, tie negrib atgriezties.
O Lord, are not thy eyes [directed] to the truth? thou didst strike them, but they felt it not; thou didst make an end of them, [yet] they refused to accept correction: they made their faces harder than a rock, they refused to return.
4 Un es sacīju: tiešām, tie ir nabagi, tie ir neprātīgi, tādēļ ka tie nezin Tā Kunga ceļu, sava Dieva tiesu,
Yet I myself thought, Oh these are but poor; they are foolish; for they knew not the way of the Lord, the ordinance of their God.
5 Es iešu pie tiem lieliem un runāšu ar tiem, jo tie zin Tā Kunga ceļu, sava Dieva tiesu. Bet tie visi kopā to jūgu salauzuši un tās saites saraustījuši.
I had better go unto the great men, and let me speak with them; for these surely know the way of the Lord, the ordinance of their God; but these altogether have broken the yoke, burst the bands.
6 Tādēļ tos sitīs lauva no meža, un vilks no tuksneša tos postīs, pardelis(leopards) glūn pret viņu pilsētām, visi, kas no turienes iziet, taps saplosīti. Jo viņu grēki ir vairojušies, viņu pārkāpumi augumā auguši.
Therefore slayeth them the lion out of the forest, the wolf of the deserts wasteth them, the leopard lieth in wait against their cities: every one that cometh out thence shall be torn in pieces; because many are their transgressions, very numerous are their backslidings.
7 Kādēļ tad lai Es tevi žēloju? Tavi bērni Mani atstāj un zvērē pie tā, kas dievs nav. Kad Es nu tos esmu pieēdinājis, tad tie lauž laulību un iet pa pulkiem mauku namā.
How shall I for this pardon thee? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by those that are not gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlot's house.
8 Kā baroti ērzeļi tie ceļas agri, ikviens zviedz pēc sava tuvākā sievas.
As robust horses they rose by times in the morning: every one neighed after the wife of his neighbor.
9 Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt, saka Tas Kungs, jeb vai Manai dvēselei nav jāatriebjās pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
Shall I not for these things inflict punishment? saith the Lord: and shall on a nation such as this my soul not be avenged?
10 Kāpjat uz viņas mūriem un samaitājiet tos, bet neizpostiet tos pavisam. Atņemiet viņas stīgas, jo tās nav no Tā Kunga.
Scale ye her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: remove her young shoots; for they are not the Lord's.
11 Jo Israēla nams un Jūda nams palikuši visai neuzticīgi pret Mani, saka Tas Kungs.
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12 Tie aizliedz To Kungu un saka: viņš nav tas, un mums ļaunums neuzies, mēs neredzēsim nedz zobenu nedz badu.
They have denied the Lord, and said, “He existeth not; nor will evil come over us; and the sword and famine shall we not see.
13 Arī pravieši aizies vējā, jo (Dieva) vārds nav pie viņiem; pašiem tiem tas tā notiks.
And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them:” thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Tādēļ saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot: Tāpēc ka jūs šo vārdu sakāt, redzi, Es Savu vārdu tavā mutē darīšu par uguni un šos ļaudis par malku, un tas tos aprīs.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth to be a fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Redzi, Es atvedīšu pār jums tautu no tālienes, Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs. Tā ir stipra tauta, veca tauta, tauta, kam valodu tu nesaproti, un nesajēdzi, ko tā runā.
Lo, I will bring over you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is a most ancient nation, a nation whose language thou wilt not know, and thou wilt not understand what they speak.
16 Viņas bultu maks ir kā atvērts kaps, tie visi ir varoņi.
Their quiver is as an open sepulchre: they are all mighty men.
17 Un tā ēdīs tavu pļāvumu un tavu maizi, tā ēdīs tavus dēlus un tavas meitas, tā ēdīs tavas avis un tavus vēršus, tā ēdīs tavu vīna koku un tavu vīģes koku; tavas stiprās pilsētas, uz ko tu paļaujies, tā izpostīs ar zobenu.
And they shall consume thy harvest, and thy bread; they shall consume thy sons and thy daughters; they shall consume thy flocks and thy herds; they shall consume thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall depopulate thy fortified cities, those wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18 Tomēr ir tanīs dienās Es jums pavisam negribu galu darīt, saka Tas Kungs.
Nevertheless even in those days, saith the Lord, will I not make a full end of you.
19 Un kad jūs sacīsiet: kādēļ Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums visas šās lietas ir darījis? Tad tev uz viņiem būs sacīt: tā kā jūs Mani esat atstājuši un kalpojuši svešiem dieviem savā zemē, tāpat jūs kalposiet svešiem zemē, kas jums nepieder.
And it shall come to pass, when ye will say, For what reason hath the Lord our God done all these things unto us? that thou shalt say unto them, In the same manner as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
20 Sludinājiet to Jēkaba namā, liekat to dzirdēt iekš Jūda un sakāt:
Announce this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 Klausiet jel to, ģeķīgie un neprātīgie ļaudis, kam acis ir, un neredz, kam ausis ir, un nedzird.
Do now hear this, O sottish people, who have no heart; who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not;
22 Vai jūs Mani negribat bīties? Saka Tas Kungs, vai Manā priekšā negribat drebēt? Es smiltis lieku jūrai par ežu, par mūžīgu robežu, ka par to nebūs iet pāri; jebšu viņas viļņi kust, tad tie tomēr nekā neiespēj, jebšu tie gan kauc, tad tie tomēr pār to neiet pāri.
Will ye not fear me? saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand as a bound for the sea by an everlasting law, which it can never pass over? and though the waves thereof be upheaved, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.
23 Bet šiem ļaudīm ir bezdievīga un stūrgalvīga sirds, tie atkāpjas un aiziet,
But this people hath a stubborn and a rebellious heart: they have departed [from the right] and have gone their way.
24 Un nesaka savā sirdī: lai jel bīstamies To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas mums dod lietu agri un vēlu - savā laikā, kas mums pasargā pļaujamā laika noliktās nedēļas.
And they have not said in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, the early and the latter rain, in its season: the appointed weeks of the harvest doth he ever preserve for us.
25 Jūsu noziegumi to aizkavē, un jūsu grēki to labumu jums aiztur.
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden what is good from you.
26 Jo starp Maniem ļaudīm atrodas bezdievīgi; tie glūn, kā mednieki mēdz, tie liek valgus un gūsta cilvēkus.
For there are found among my people wicked men: they lie in wait, as he that layeth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 Kā putnu sprosts ir pilns putnu, tā viņu nams ir pilns viltības, tādēļ tie ir palikuši lieli un bagāti.
As a coop is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore are they become great, and grown rich.
28 Tie ir tauki, tie ir gludeni, no tiem plūst ļaunums, tie neiztiesā tiesu nedz bāriņa lietas, ka šiem būtu labi, un nabagiem tie tiesu neizdod.
They are grown fat, they are stout; yea, they surpass even the deeds of the wicked: they pronounce no [just] sentence, the sentence of the fatherless, that they might prosper; and the cause of the needy do they not judge.
29 Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt? saka Tas Kungs. Vai Manai dvēselei nebūs atriebties pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
shall I not for these things inflict punishment? saith the Lord: or shall on a nation such as this my soul not be avenged?
30 Briesmīgas un negantas lietas notiek šai zemē.
An astonishing and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 Pravieši māca viltīgi, un priesteri valda pēc sava padoma, un Maniem ļaudīm tas tā patīk. Bet ko tad jūs pēcgalā darīsiet?
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so; but what will ye do in the end thereof?
