< Jeremijas 50 >

1 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs runājis pret Bābeli, pret Kaldeju zemi, caur pravieti Jeremiju.
This is the word that the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Chaldeans:
2 Sludinājiet starp tautām un izsauciet to un izceļat karogu, izsauciet un neapslēpiet to, sakāt: Bābele uzņemta, Bels stāv kaunā, Merodaks satriekts, viņu dievekļi apkaunoti, viņu elkudievi satriekti.
“Announce and declare to the nations; lift up a banner and proclaim it; hold nothing back when you say, ‘Babylon is captured; Bel is put to shame; Marduk is shattered, her images are disgraced, her idols are broken in pieces.’
3 Jo pret viņu nāk tauta no ziemeļa puses; tā viņas zemi darīs par tuksnesi bez iedzīvotāja; tā cilvēki kā lopi bēguši, aizgājuši projām.
For a nation from the north will come against her; it will make her land a desolation. No one will live in it; both man and beast will flee.”
4 Tanīs dienās un tanī laikā, saka Tas Kungs, Israēla bērni līdz ar Jūda bērniem nāks; tie ies raudādami vienā raudāšanā un meklēs To Kungu, savu Dievu.
“In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, the children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together, weeping as they come, and will seek the LORD their God.
5 Tie vaicās pēc Ciānas, viņu vaigi (griezīsies) šurp pa to ceļu. Nāciet, pieķersimies Tam Kungam mūžīgā derībā, kas netaps aizmirsta.
They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
6 Mani ļaudis bija pazudušas avis, viņu gani tās bija pievīluši, tie tās bija maldinājuši kalnos, ka gāja no kalniem uz pakalniem, aizmirsa savus laidarus.
My people are lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, causing them to roam the mountains. They have wandered from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
7 Visi, kas tos atrada, tos aprija, un viņu pretinieki sacīja: mēs nebūsim noziedzīgi, jo tie ir grēkojuši pret To Kungu, pret to taisnības dzīvokli un viņu tēvu patvērumu, pret To Kungu.
All who found them devoured them, and their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty, for they have sinned against the LORD, their true pasture, the LORD, the hope of their fathers.’
8 Bēdziet no Bābeles un ejat ārā no Kaldeju zemes un esiet tie auni ganāmā pulka priekšā.
Flee from the midst of Babylon; depart from the land of the Chaldeans; be like the he-goats that lead the flock.
9 Jo redzi, Es celšu lielu tautu pulku no ziemeļa zemes un to vedīšu pret Bābeli; tie pret viņu nostāsies, un tad viņa taps uzņemta. Viņu bultas būs kā no krietna karavīra, neviena neatgriezīsies tukša.
For behold, I stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north. They will line up against her; from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.
10 Un Kaldeju zeme būs par laupījumu; visi, kas to aplaupa, pieēdīsies, saka Tas Kungs.
Chaldea will be plundered; all who plunder her will have their fill,”
11 Jo priecājaties tik vien un lecat no prieka, jūs Manas mantības postītāji; lecat tik vien kā tele uz metiena un zviedzat kā ērzeļi.
“Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph— you who plunder My inheritance— because you frolic like a heifer treading grain and neigh like stallions,
12 Jūsu māte taps ļoti apkaunota, kas jūs dzemdējusi, tā nosarks; redzi, pagānu gals ir tuksnesis, sausums un posts.
your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who bore you will be disgraced. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Aiz Tā Kunga dusmības tur nedzīvos, bet tā būs pavisam tuksnesis; visi, kas Bābelei ies garām, brīnīsies un svilpos par viņas mokām.
Because of the wrath of the LORD, she will not be inhabited; she will become completely desolate. All who pass through Babylon will be horrified and will hiss at all her wounds.
14 Taisāties pret Bābeli visapkārt, visi, kas stopu velk, šaujiet uz to, netaupiet bultas, jo tā grēkojusi pret To Kungu.
Line up in formation around Babylon, all you who draw the bow! Shoot at her! Spare no arrows! For she has sinned against the LORD.
15 Ceļat visapkārt kara troksni pret to! Tā padevusies, viņas pamati gruvuši, viņas mūri noārdīti. Jo tā ir Tā Kunga atriebšana; atriebjaties pret viņu, tā kā viņa darījusi, tā dariet viņai.
Raise a war cry against her on every side! She has thrown up her hands in surrender; her towers have fallen; her walls are torn down. Since this is the vengeance of the LORD, take out your vengeance upon her; as she has done, do the same to her.
16 Izdeldat no Bābeles tā sējēju, kā to, kas sirpi ņem rokā pļaujamā laikā! No tā briesmīgā zobena ikviens griezīsies pie savas tautas un ikviens bēgs uz savu zemi.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and the one who wields the sickle at harvest time. In the face of the oppressor’s sword, each will turn to his own people, each will flee to his own land.
17 Israēls ir noklīdusi avs, ko lauvas trenkājušas. Tas pirmais, kas viņu ēdis, bija Asīrijas ķēniņš, un nu pēdīgi Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, satriecis viņa kaulus.
Israel is a scattered flock, chased away by lions. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria; the last to crush his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.”
18 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: redzi, Es piemeklēšu Bābeles ķēniņu un viņa zemi, tā kā esmu piemeklējis Asīrijas ķēniņu,
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria.
19 Un vedīšu Israēli atpakaļ viņa dzīvoklī, un tas ganīsies pa Karmeli un Basanu, un viņa dvēsele taps pieēdināta pa Efraīma un Gileāda kalniem.
I will return Israel to his pasture, and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan; his soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
20 Tanīs dienās un tanī laikā, saka Tas Kungs, Israēla noziegums taps meklēts, bet vairs nebūs, un Jūda grēki, bet tie netaps atrasti, jo Es tiem piedošu, ko Es atlicināšu.
In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, a search will be made for Israel’s guilt, but there will be none, and for Judah’s sins, but they will not be found; for I will forgive the remnant I preserve.
21 Celies pret to divkārtīgo dumpotāju zemi un pret tiem iedzīvotājiem, kas taps piemeklēti; posti un deldē viņiem pakaļ dzīdamies, saka Tas Kungs, un dari, tā kā Es tev esmu pavēlējis.
Go up against the land of Merathaim, and against the residents of Pekod. Kill them and devote them to destruction. Do all that I have commanded you,”
22 Kara troksnis tai zemē un liels posts!
“The noise of battle is in the land— the noise of great destruction.
23 Kā visas pasaules veseris salauzts un satriekts! Kā Bābele palikusi par posta vietu starp tautām!
How the hammer of the whole earth lies broken and shattered! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
24 Es tev esmu licis valgus, un tu nezinot esi savaldzināta, Bābele; tu esi atrasta un sagrābta, tādēļ ka tu Tam Kungam esi turējusies pretī.
I laid a snare for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it. You were found and captured because you challenged the LORD.
25 Tas Kungs Savu mantas namu atdarījis un Savas dusmības rīkus ņēmis ārā, jo Tam Kungam, Tam Kungam Cebaot, ir darbs Kaldeju zemē.
The LORD has opened His armory and brought out His weapons of wrath, for this is the work of the Lord GOD of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Nāciet šurp pret viņu no pasaules gala, atdariet viņas klētis, sametiet to kā labību kaudzēs, un izdeldiet to, ka no tās nekas neatliek.
Come against her from the farthest border. Break open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain. Devote her to destruction; leave her no survivors.
27 Nokaujiet visus viņas vēršus, lai tie iet pie kaušanas. Ak vai, par tiem! Jo viņu diena ir nākusi, viņu piemeklēšanas laiks.
Kill all her young bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come— the time of their punishment.
28 Klau! Bēgļi un izsprukušie no Bābeles zemes, lai pasludina Ciānā Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, atriebšanu, to atriebšanu Viņa nama dēļ.
Listen to the fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon, declaring in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance for His temple.
29 Sasauciet pret Bābeli strēlniekus; visi, kas stopu velkat, apmetaties ap viņu, ka neviens neizsprūk, atmaksājiet viņai pēc viņas darba, dariet viņai, tā kā viņa darījusi. Jo tā ir lepojusies pret To Kungu, to Svēto iekš Israēla.
Summon the archers against Babylon, all who string the bow. Encamp all around her; let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds; do to her as she has done. For she has defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
30 Tāpēc viņas jaunekļi kritīs pa viņas ielām, un visi viņas karavīri tai dienā taps izdeldēti, saka Tas Kungs.
Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,”
31 Redzi, Es ceļos pret tevi, tu lepnā, saka Tas Kungs, Tas Kungs Cebaot: jo tava diena ir nākusi, tavas piemeklēšanas laiks.
“Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, “for your day has come, the time when I will punish you.
32 Tad tā lepnā klups un kritīs, un nebūs, kas viņu uzcels, jo Es iededzināšu uguni viņas pilsētās; tas visu norīs visapkārt.
The arrogant one will stumble and fall with no one to pick him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities to consume all those around him.”
33 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: Israēla bērni līdz ar Jūda bērniem ir nospaidīti, un visi, kas tos cietumā likuši, viņus tura stipri un liedzās viņus atlaist.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “The sons of Israel are oppressed, and the sons of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to release them.
34 Bet viņu Pestītājs ir stiprs, Kungs Cebaot ir viņa vārds, viņš tiesādams tiesās viņu lietu, ka šo zemi dara dusam, bet Bābeles iedzīvotājus drebam.
Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will fervently plead their case so that He may bring rest to the earth, but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.
35 Zobens nāks pār Kaldejiem, saka Tas Kungs, un pār Bābeles iedzīvotājiem, un pār viņas lielkungiem un pār viņas gudriem.
A sword is against the Chaldeans, declares the LORD, against those who live in Babylon, and against her officials and wise men.
36 Zobens nāks pār viņas zīlniekiem, ka tie top par ģeķiem, zobens pār viņas vareniem, ka tie baiļojās.
A sword is against her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is against her warriors, and they will be filled with terror.
37 Zobens pār viņas zirgiem un pār viņas ratiem un pār visu saskrējušo ļaužu pulku, kas ir viņas vidū, ka tie paliek par bābām; zobens pār viņas mantām, ka tās top laupītas.
A sword is against her horses and chariots and against all the foreigners in her midst, and they will become like women. A sword is against her treasuries, and they will be plundered.
38 Kaltētājs nāks pār viņas ūdeņiem, ka tie izsīkst; jo tā ir elkdievīga zeme un trako ar saviem dievekļiem.
A drought is upon her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and the people go mad over idols.
39 Tāpēc tur mitīs tuksneša zvēri un kaucēji, ir jauni strausi tur dzīvos, un tā vairs netaps apdzīvota ne mūžam, un tur iedzīvotāju nebūs līdz radu radiem.
So the desert creatures and hyenas will live there and ostriches will dwell there. It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.
40 Tā kā Dievs apgāzis Sodomu un Gomoru un viņu kaimiņus, saka Tas Kungs, tā tur neviens nedzīvos nedz cilvēku bērns tur mitīs.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah along with their neighbors,” declares the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.
41 Redzi, tauta nāk no ziemeļa puses, liela tauta, un daudz ķēniņi cēlās no pasaules galiem.
Behold, an army is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are stirred up from the ends of the earth.
42 Tiem ir stopi un šķēpi, tie ir bargi un nebūs žēlīgi, viņu balss kauks kā jūra, un tie jās uz zirgiem apbruņoti kā karavīri pret tevi, Bābeles meita!
They grasp the bow and spear; they are cruel and merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of Babylon.
43 Bābeles ķēniņš dzird viņu baumu, un viņa rokas nogurst, bailes viņu sagrābj, sāpes kā sievu, kas dzemdē.
The king of Babylon has heard the report, and his hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped him, pain like that of a woman in labor.
44 Redzi, viņš ceļas kā lauva no Jardānes vareniem biezumiem pret stipriem dzīvokļiem; jo Es viņu no turienes piepeši aizdzīšu, un kas ir izredzēts, to Es pār to celšu. Jo kas ir tāds kā Es, un kas Mani sauks tiesā, un kas ir tas gans, kas Manā priekšā pastāvēs?
Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Babylon from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?”
45 Tāpēc klausāt Tā Kunga padomu, ko Viņš nospriedis par Bābeli, un Viņa domas, ko Viņš nodomājis par Kaldeju zemi. Tiešām, viņus aizvedīs kā ganāmā pulka jērus; tiešām, viņu ganības iztrūcināsies par viņiem.
Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Babylon and the strategies He has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them.
46 Un zeme trīcēs no trokšņa, ka Bābele uzņemta, un brēkšana būs dzirdama starp tautām.
At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will quake; a cry will be heard among the nations.
