< Jeremijas 50 >
1 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs runājis pret Bābeli, pret Kaldeju zemi, caur pravieti Jeremiju.
Yahweh gave to [me, ] Jeremiah the prophet, a message about Babylon [city] 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.
[This is what Yahweh says]: “Proclaim [DOU] [a message] among the nations; do not withhold any of it; raise up a signal flag to announce that Babylon will be captured. [Its chief god] Marduk, [whose other name is] Bel, will be completely disgraced, and all the [other] statues and idols will be shattered.
3 Jo pret viņu nāk tauta no ziemeļa puses; tā viņas zemi darīs par tuksnesi bez iedzīvotāja; tā cilvēki kā lopi bēguši, aizgājuši projām.
[The army of] a nation will come from the north to attack Babylon and destroy the city very thoroughly, [with the result that] no one will live there [again]. Both people and animals will run away.”
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.
“But [I, ] Yahweh, say that in the future, when that is about to happen, the people of Israel and the people of Judah will join together. They will be weeping and wanting [to worship] me, 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 inquire about the road to Jerusalem, [and then] they will start traveling [IDM] toward it. They will say [to each other], ‘We must return to Yahweh [again]!’ They will make an everlasting agreement with me that they will never forget.
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 have been [like] [MET] lost sheep. Their [leaders/rulers] have caused them [to abandon me] like [MET] shepherds who have allowed their sheep to wander in the hills and mountains. [My people are like] [MET] sheep that do not know the path to return to the sheepfold.
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 their enemies who found them attacked them. They said, ‘We did not sin [by attacking them], because they sinned against Yahweh; he is the one who provides what they need; he is the one to whom they should have remained faithful; he is the one whom their ancestors confidently expected [to help them].’
8 Bēdziet no Bābeles un ejat ārā no Kaldeju zemes un esiet tie auni ganāmā pulka priekšā.
[But now, I say to the leaders of my people], ‘Flee from Babylon! Leave the land of Babylonia! Be like [SIM] male goats [that go] in front of [the rest of] the flock; [lead my people back to their own land].
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.
[Do that] because I am going to gather an army of great nations to the north [of Babylon]. They will join together to attack Babylon and will capture it. Their arrows will be like [SIM] skilled warriors that always hit what they aim at.
10 Un Kaldeju zeme būs par laupījumu; visi, kas to aplaupa, pieēdīsies, saka Tas Kungs.
Babylonia will be conquered, and those who conquer it will take away everything they want. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 Jo priecājaties tik vien un lecat no prieka, jūs Manas mantības postītāji; lecat tik vien kā tele uz metiena un zviedzat kā ērzeļi.
“You people [of Babylon] who (plundered/stole everything valuable from) my chosen people, now you are very happy [DOU]. You run around joyfully like [SIM] a calf in a meadow, and are happy like [SIM] male horses are happy when they are neighing.
12 Jūsu māte taps ļoti apkaunota, kas jūs dzemdējusi, tā nosarks; redzi, pagānu gals ir tuksnesis, sausums un posts.
But [soon] your people will be very disgraced [DOU] [as a result of being conquered]. Your country will be the most insignificant nation; it will be a desert, a dry and deserted 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 [I, ] Yahweh, am angry [with you people of Babylon], I will cause your city to become completely deserted. All who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) because of the destruction there.
14 Taisāties pret Bābeli visapkārt, visi, kas stopu velk, šaujiet uz to, netaupiet bultas, jo tā grēkojusi pret To Kungu.
[All you nations that surround Babylon, ] prepare to attack it! Tell your archers to shoot at their enemies; shoot all of your arrows at them [LIT], because [the people/leaders of Babylon have sinned against me, ] Yahweh.
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 Babylon from all sides [of the city]. [The soldiers of] Babylon will surrender; the towers and walls will be torn down. It is [I, ] Yahweh, who will be getting revenge [on the people of Babylon], [so help me to] get revenge. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done 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.
Take away from Babylon those who plant [crops] and those who reap the harvests! Because of the swords carried by those who will attack [Babylon], [those people in Babylon who have come from other countries] should all run away, back to their own countries [DOU]!”
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 Israeli [people] are [like] [MET] sheep that have been scattered by lions. First [the army of] the King of Assyria defeated them. Then [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon smashed them.
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 I, the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], say: ‘Now I will punish the King of Babylon and the people of his land, 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.
And I will bring the people of Israel back to their own land where they will eat [the food that grows] in the fields of the Carmel and Bashan [regions], and [the people in] the hilly areas of Ephraim and Gilead will have all they want to eat.
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.
At that time, there will not be people in Israel and in Judah who [are still guilty for having] sinned [DOU], because I will forgive the small group of people whom I enable to still be alive.’”
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.
“[So, I, Yahweh, say to the enemies of Babylonia, ]‘Attack [the people who live in] the Merathaim [region] and the people in the Pekod [region of Babylonia]. Pursue them, kill them, and completely get rid of them, as I have commanded you to do.
22 Kara troksnis tai zemē un liels posts!
Shout your battle cries throughout the land; shout [when you are causing] great destruction.
23 Kā visas pasaules veseris salauzts un satriekts! Kā Bābele palikusi par posta vietu starp tautām!
[The army of Babylon is like] [MET] the most powerful hammer on the earth, but it will be completely shattered. Babylon will be deserted among the [other] 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.
You [people of] Babylon, [listen, ] [because] I have set a trap for you; you will be caught [in that trap], because you fought against me.
25 Tas Kungs Savu mantas namu atdarījis un Savas dusmības rīkus ņēmis ārā, jo Tam Kungam, Tam Kungam Cebaot, ir darbs Kaldeju zemē.
[It is as though] I have opened the place where I store my weapons, and I have brought out [all] the weapons [to use against the people with whom] I am angry. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have [a lot of] work to do [to punish] the people 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.
[So, you enemies of Babylonia, ] come from distant lands and attack it. Break open the places where they store the grain. Crush the walls of the city and the houses and pile up [the rubble like] [SIM] heaps of grain. Destroy everything; do not leave anything that is not destroyed.
27 Nokaujiet visus viņas vēršus, lai tie iet pie kaušanas. Ak vai, par tiem! Jo viņu diena ir nākusi, viņu piemeklēšanas laiks.
Destroy all the [young men who are as strong as] [MET] bulls; take them to where you will slaughter them. It will be terrible for them, because it will be time for them to be 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 people who have fled and escaped from Babylon while they tell in Jerusalem how [I, ] Yahweh, have gotten revenge against those who destroyed my temple [in Jerusalem].
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 archers [DOU] to come to attack Babylon; surround the city in order that no one will escape. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others [DOU], because they have defied [me, ] the Holy One of the Israeli [people].
30 Tāpēc viņas jaunekļi kritīs pa viņas ielām, un visi viņas karavīri tai dienā taps izdeldēti, saka Tas Kungs.
The young men of Babylon will fall in the streets; all their soldiers will be killed in one day.
31 Redzi, Es ceļos pret tevi, tu lepnā, saka Tas Kungs, Tas Kungs Cebaot: jo tava diena ir nākusi, tavas piemeklēšanas laiks.
[I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘You arrogant/proud people, it is now the time; it is the time [DOU] 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.
[Your land is full of] proud people, but you will stumble and fall, and no one will lift you up [again]. I will light a fire in the cities in Babylonia that will burn up everything that is nearby.’
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.
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, also say this: ‘The people of Israel and Judah were (oppressed/treated cruelly); those who captured them guarded them carefully and would not allow them to leave [Babylon].
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 I am strong, and I will free them. I am the Commander of the armies of angels; I will defend my people and enable them [to return to] their land where they will have peace, but the people of Babylonia will not have peace.
35 Zobens nāks pār Kaldejiem, saka Tas Kungs, un pār Bābeles iedzīvotājiem, un pār viņas lielkungiem un pār viņas gudriem.
[I will send enemy soldiers carrying] swords [PRS] to strike the people of Babylonia; they will strike the officials and wise men and all the [other] people who live in Babylon.
36 Zobens nāks pār viņas zīlniekiem, ka tie top par ģeķiem, zobens pār viņas vareniem, ka tie baiļojās.
They will strike their false prophets with swords and they will become foolish. They will strike the [strongest] warriors of Babylonia, and they will all 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.
They will strike their horses and chariots and the foreigners who are in the army of Babylonia, and they will [all] become [as weak] as [MET] women. They will seize [MTY] all the valuable things there in Babylon and take them away.
38 Kaltētājs nāks pār viņas ūdeņiem, ka tie izsīkst; jo tā ir elkdievīga zeme un trako ar saviem dievekļiem.
[I] cause the streams to become dry. [I will do all those things] because the [entire] land [of Babylonia] is filled with idols, and those [horrible] idols have caused the people [who worship them] to become crazy.
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.
[Soon only] hyenas and [other] wild creatures will live there; and it will be a place where owls live. People will never live there again; it will be uninhabited forever [DOU].
40 Tā kā Dievs apgāzis Sodomu un Gomoru un viņu kaimiņus, saka Tas Kungs, tā tur neviens nedzīvos nedz cilvēku bērns tur mitīs.
[I will destroy Babylon] like I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns; no one will [ever] live there [again] [DOU].
41 Redzi, tauta nāk no ziemeļa puses, liela tauta, un daudz ķēniņi cēlās no pasaules galiem.
Look! A [great] army will come from the north. A great nation far away with many kings is preparing [to attack you people of Babylon].
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!
Their [army] has bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. [As] they ride along on [their] horses, the sound of the horses’ hooves is like [SIM] the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you, 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 says, “[I] have heard reports about the enemy [approaching]; [so I am very frightened, with the result that] I am weak. I am [very fearful, and] anguished/worried, like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.”
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?
I, [Yahweh], will come to Babylon [suddenly] like a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are eating] the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Babylonia from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them [a leader] whom I will choose; [I will do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can say that what I have done is not right. No ruler can [RHQ] 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.
Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Babylon [city] and the rest of Babylonia: [even] the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely destroy the people [MET] who live there.
46 Un zeme trīcēs no trokšņa, ka Bābele uzņemta, un brēkšana būs dzirdama starp tautām.
When Babylon is destroyed, the noise will be extremely loud, with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard by the [people of other] nations.’”
