< Jeremijas 50 >
1 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs runājis pret Bābeli, pret Kaldeju zemi, caur pravieti Jeremiju.
This is the Lord's message that he told Jeremiah the prophet to give about Babylon and the country of Babylonia.
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.
Tell everyone the news! Hold up a sign and shout it out, don't hold back! Tell them, Babylon has fallen! Her god Bel is humiliated; the power of her god Marduk is broken; all Babylon's idols are humiliated and their power is broken.
3 Jo pret viņu nāk tauta no ziemeļa puses; tā viņas zemi darīs par tuksnesi bez iedzīvotāja; tā cilvēki kā lopi bēguši, aizgājuši projām.
A northern nation will come and attack her and turn the country into a wasteland. No one will live there—both people and animals will desert it.
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.
That's the time when the people of Israel and Judah will join together, weeping as they go to worship the Lord their God, declares the Lord.
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 start going in that direction. They will arrive and commit themselves to the Lord in an everlasting agreement that won't ever 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 sheep that are lost, led astray by their shepherds, making them wander aimlessly in the mountains. They go from place to place in the mountains and hills, forgetting where they used to rest.
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 those who came across them attacked them. Their enemies declared, “We're not to blame! They're the ones who sinned against the Lord, their true resting place; the Lord who was the hope of their forefathers.”
8 Bēdziet no Bābeles un ejat ārā no Kaldeju zemes un esiet tie auni ganāmā pulka priekšā.
Run away from the city of Babylon; get away from the country of Babylonia! Lead the way like the male 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.
Look! I'm assembling a coalition of strong northern nations who will come and attack Babylon. They will line up in battle against her; she will be conquered from the north. Their arrows will be like the best warriors—they don't miss!
10 Un Kaldeju zeme būs par laupījumu; visi, kas to aplaupa, pieēdīsies, saka Tas Kungs.
Babylonia will be plundered—everyone who plunders her will have plenty of loot, declares the Lord.
11 Jo priecājaties tik vien un lecat no prieka, jūs Manas mantības postītāji; lecat tik vien kā tele uz metiena un zviedzat kā ērzeļi.
Though for now you Babylonians celebrate and sing triumphantly as you plunder my special people, though for now you jump around like a frisky young cow treading out the grain, and neigh like stallions,
12 Jūsu māte taps ļoti apkaunota, kas jūs dzemdējusi, tā nosarks; redzi, pagānu gals ir tuksnesis, sausums un posts.
you are going to bring shame on your mother, you are going to disgrace the one who gave birth to you. Watch as she becomes the least important of all the nations, a wilderness, a dry desert land.
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 Lord's angry punishment, she will be deserted, completely desolate. Everyone who passes by will be horrified at what has happened to Babylon, and sneer at all her wounds.
14 Taisāties pret Bābeli visapkārt, visi, kas stopu velk, šaujiet uz to, netaupiet bultas, jo tā grēkojusi pret To Kungu.
All you archers, line up ready for battle around Babylon. Shoot at her! Don't save your arrows, because 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.
Shout war-cries against her from every side! She holds up her hands in surrender. Her towers have collapsed; her walls are demolished. This is the Lord paying her back, so you too can pay her back—do the same to her as she did to others.
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.
Stop the sower from sowing in the country of Babylon, and stop the harvester swinging the sickle to reap the grain. Under the threat of the enemies' swords, everyone runs home to their own people, they go back to where they came from.
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.
The Israelites are a flock that's been chased and scattered by lions. The first on the attack was the king of Assyria; then lastly Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon crushed their bones.
18 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: redzi, Es piemeklēšu Bābeles ķēniņu un viņa zemi, tā kā esmu piemeklējis Asīrijas ķēniņu,
So this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and his country just like 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 lead the Israelites back to their pasturelands, to feed on Carmel and Bashan, to satisfy their appetites 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.
This will be when the guilt and the sins of Israel and Judah will be looked for, but none will be found, because I will forgive those people who remain that I'm looking after, declares the Lord.
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 and attack the land of Merathaim, and the people living in Pekod. Kill them with swords, set them apart for destruction, along with everything they leave behind. Make sure you do everything I have ordered you to do, declares the Lord.
22 Kara troksnis tai zemē un liels posts!
The noise of battle is heard in the country, the noise of terrible destruction.
23 Kā visas pasaules veseris salauzts un satriekts! Kā Bābele palikusi par posta vietu starp tautām!
See how the hammer of the whole earth is lying broken in pieces in the ground! The nations look with horror on what Babylon has become!
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.
Babylon, I set a trap for you, and you were caught before you realized it. You were hunted down and captured because you fought against 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.
In his anger the Lord opened his armory to bring out his weapons, for this is what the Lord God Almighty is doing in the country of Babylonia.
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 and attack her from every side! Open her granaries; collect the loot you take from her like piles of grain. Set her apart for destruction; don't leave any 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 with the sword; let them be slaughtered. What a disaster for them, because their time has come when they're punished.
28 Klau! Bēgļi un izsprukušie no Bābeles zemes, lai pasludina Ciānā Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, atriebšanu, to atriebšanu Viņa nama dēļ.
(Listen to the refugees and survivors who have returned from Babylonia, announcing in Zion, “The Lord our God is paying them back for what happened to 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.
Call up the archers to attack Babylon, yes, all of them! Completely surround her—don't let anyone escape. Pay her back for what she's done, because in her pride she defied the Lord, Israel's Holy One.
30 Tāpēc viņas jaunekļi kritīs pa viņas ielām, un visi viņas karavīri tai dienā taps izdeldēti, saka Tas Kungs.
As a result her young men will be killed in the streets; all her soldiers will die that day, declares the Lord.
31 Redzi, Es ceļos pret tevi, tu lepnā, saka Tas Kungs, Tas Kungs Cebaot: jo tava diena ir nākusi, tavas piemeklēšanas laiks.
Watch out, because I'm against you, you arrogant people! declares the Lord God Almighty. Your time has come 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.
You arrogant people will trip and fall. Nobody will be there to pick you up. I'm going to set fire to your towns and burn up everything around you.
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 Almighty says: The people of Israel and Judah are being mistreated. All who captured them are holding onto them, refusing to let them go.
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.
But the one who rescues them is powerful; the Lord Almighty is his name. He will defend them and their cause, so he may bring peace on earth, but trouble to the people of Babylon.
35 Zobens nāks pār Kaldejiem, saka Tas Kungs, un pār Bābeles iedzīvotājiem, un pār viņas lielkungiem un pār viņas gudriem.
A sword is raised to attack the Babylonians, declares the Lord, ready to attack those who live in Babylon, and 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 raised to attack her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is raised to attack her soldiers, and they will be terrified.
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 raised to attack her horses and chariots, along with all the foreign soldiers with her, and they will become like frightened women. A sword is raised to attack her stores of treasure, 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 has hit her rivers, and they will dry up. For it's a country full of pagan images. These horrible idols drive their worshipers mad.
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.
Consequently desert animals and hyenas will live there, and it will be a home for owls. It will be uninhabited forever—it won't be lived in from one generation to the next.
40 Tā kā Dievs apgāzis Sodomu un Gomoru un viņu kaimiņus, saka Tas Kungs, tā tur neviens nedzīvos nedz cilvēku bērns tur mitīs.
In the same way that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, declares the Lord, no one will live there, no one will stay there.
41 Redzi, tauta nāk no ziemeļa puses, liela tauta, un daudz ķēniņi cēlās no pasaules galiem.
Look! An army is advancing from the north. A great nation and many kings are coming against you from the distant lands.
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're carrying bows and javelins. They are cruel and merciless. When they shout it's like the sea roaring. They ride on horses and attack in formation against you, people 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 news and he's terrified. He's overcome with fear, in pain like 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?
Watch out! I'm going to come like a lion from the tangled undergrowth beside the Jordan to attack the animals grazing the green pasture. In fact I'm going to chase the Babylonians from their land very quickly. Who will I choose to conquer them? Who is like me? Who can challenge me? Which leader could oppose 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.
So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to Babylon and the country of Babylonia: Their children will be dragged away like lambs from the flock, and because of them their pasture will become a wasteland.
46 Un zeme trīcēs no trokšņa, ka Bābele uzņemta, un brēkšana būs dzirdama starp tautām.
The sound of Babylon's capture will make the earth shake; their cries will be heard throughout the nations.
