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.
Run ye through the streets of Jerusalem, [[saith Jehovah, ]] And see now, and know, and seek in her broad places If ye can find a single man, If there be one that doeth justice, That seeketh uprightness, And I will forgive her.
2 Un jebšu tie visi saka: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, tomēr tie zvēr nepatiesi.
Yea, though they say, “As Jehovah liveth!” Yet do they swear falsely.
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.
Are not thine eyes upon the truth, O Jehovah! Thou hast smitten them, but they have not grieved; Thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction; They have made their faces harder than a rock; They have refused to return.
4 Un es sacīju: tiešām, tie ir nabagi, tie ir neprātīgi, tādēļ ka tie nezin Tā Kunga ceļu, sava Dieva tiesu,
Then I said, These are only the poor; They are foolish, because they know not the way of Jehovah, The law 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 will get me to the great ones, And I will speak to them; For they know the way of Jehovah, The law of their God. But these also have together broken the yoke; They have 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 the lion out of the forest shall slay them, And the evening wolf shall destroy them. The leopard shall keep watch upon their cities; Every one that goeth out from them shall be torn in pieces; Because their transgressions are multiplied, Their rebellions are increased.
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 can I pardon thee for this? [[saith Jehovah; ]] Thy children have forsaken me, And sworn by them that are no gods. I have fed them to the full, yet do they commit adultery, And assemble themselves in crowds in the house of the harlot.
8 Kā baroti ērzeļi tie ceļas agri, ikviens zviedz pēc sava tuvākā sievas.
They are as well-fed horses in the morning; Every one neigheth after his neighbor's wife.
9 Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt, saka Tas Kungs, jeb vai Manai dvēselei nav jāatriebjās pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
Shall I not punish for these things, saith Jehovah? Shall I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?
10 Kāpjat uz viņas mūriem un samaitājiet tos, bet neizpostiet tos pavisam. Atņemiet viņas stīgas, jo tās nav no Tā Kunga.
Go ye up upon her walls and destroy! Yet make ye not a full end! Take ye away her branches, For they belong not to Jehovah!
11 Jo Israēla nams un Jūda nams palikuši visai neuzticīgi pret Mani, saka Tas Kungs.
For they have proved false to me, The house of Israel and the house of Judah, saith Jehovah.
12 Tie aizliedz To Kungu un saka: viņš nav tas, un mums ļaunums neuzies, mēs neredzēsim nedz zobenu nedz badu.
They have denied Jehovah, And have said, “It is not He; Evil shall not come upon us, Nor shall we see sword or famine.
13 Arī pravieši aizies vējā, jo (Dieva) vārds nav pie viņiem; pašiem tiem tas tā notiks.
The prophets are but wind, And the word is not in them; Thus may it happen to 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 saith Jehovah, God of hosts: Because ye say such things, Behold, I will make thy words in thy mouth 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.
Behold, I will bring against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah; It is a mighty nation; It is an ancient nation; A nation whose language thou dost not know, And whose words thou canst not understand.
16 Viņas bultu maks ir kā atvērts kaps, tie visi ir varoņi.
Their quiver is like 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.
They shall consume thy harvest and thy bread; They shall consume thy sons and thy daughters; They shalt consume thy sheep and thy oxen; They shall consume thy vine and thy fig-tree; They shall destroy with the sword thy fortified cities, In which thou placest thy trust.
18 Tomēr ir tanīs dienās Es jums pavisam negribu galu darīt, saka Tas Kungs.
Yet even in those days, saith Jehovah, I will not make a full end with 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 when they shall say, Wherefore hath Jehovah our God brought all these things upon us? Then shalt thou say to them, “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:
Declare ye 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.
Hear ye now this, O foolish people and without understanding, 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 Jehovah? Will ye not tremble before me, Who appointed the sand a bound to the sea, A perpetual barrier, which it cannot pass? Though the waves thereof toss themselves, Yet do 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 revolting and rebellious heart; They revolt continually.
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.
Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, Who giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its season, And secureth to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25 Jūsu noziegumi to aizkavē, un jūsu grēki to labumu jums aiztur.
Your iniquities have turned away these things, And your sins have withholden that which is good from you.
26 Jo starp Maniem ļaudīm atrodas bezdievīgi; tie glūn, kā mednieki mēdz, tie liek valgus un gūsta cilvēkus.
For among my people are found wicked men, Who lie on the watch like fowlers; They set a trap that they may catch men.
27 Kā putnu sprosts ir pilns putnu, tā viņu nams ir pilns viltības, tādēļ tie ir palikuši lieli un bagāti.
As a cage is full of birds, So are their houses full of fraud. Therefore are they grown great and 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 have become fat and shine; Yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked; They maintain no cause, No cause of the fatherless, and they prosper; And the right of the needy do they not defend.
29 Vai Man tos nebūs piemeklēt? saka Tas Kungs. Vai Manai dvēselei nebūs atriebties pie tādiem ļaudīm, kā šie?
Shall I not punish for these things, saith Jehovah? Shall I not be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 Briesmīgas un negantas lietas notiek šai zemē.
Astonishing and horrible is that which is done in this 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 rule under their guidance, And my people love to have it so. But what will ye do in the end of it?
