< Jeremijas 51 >
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es celšu maitātāja garu pret Bābeli un pret tiem, kas dzīvo Manu pretinieku serdē.
Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind.
2 Un Es sūtīšu Bābelei vētītājus, kas tos vētīs un iztukšos viņas zemi, jo tie būs visapkārt ap viņu nelaimes dienā.
And I will send strangers to Babylon, who shall winnow her, and they shall empty her land. For in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
3 Lai strēlnieks stopu uzvelk pret strēlnieku un pret to, kas lepojās savās krūšu bruņās. Un nežēlojiet viņas jaunekļus, izdeldiet visu viņas spēku,
Against him who bends let the archer bend his bow, and against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail. And spare ye not her young men. Destroy ye utterly all her host.
4 Ka nokauti krīt Kaldeju zemē un nodurti pa viņas ielām.
And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
5 Jo Israēls un Jūda savā atraitnībā netaps pamesti no sava Dieva, Tā Kunga Cebaot, jebšu viņu zeme noziegusies pret to Svēto iekš Israēla.
For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts, though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Bēdziet no Bābeles un izglābiet ikviens savu dvēseli, ka neejat bojā viņas noziegumā, jo šis ir Tā Kunga atriebšanas laiks, Viņš tai atmaksā algu.
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life. Be not cut off in her iniquity, for it is the time of Jehovah's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
7 Bābele bija zelta biķeris Tā Kunga rokā, kas piedzirdināja visu pasauli; tautas dzēra no viņas vīna, tāpēc tautas palika trakas.
Babylon has been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken. The nations have drunk of her wine, therefore the nations are mad.
8 Bābele ir piepeši kritusi un satriekta. Kauciet par viņu, ņemiet zāles viņas vātīm, varbūt tā taps dziedināta.
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed. Wail for her. Take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9 Mēs Bābeli dziedinājām, bet tā nav sadzijusi. Atstājiet viņu, un ejam ikviens uz savu zemi, jo viņas sodība iet līdz pat debesīm un aizsniedz padebešus.
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let us go each one into his own country. For her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 Tas Kungs ir gaismā nesis mūsu taisnību, nāciet, lai izteicam Ciānā Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, darbu.
Jehovah has brought forth our righteousness. Come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
11 Trinat bultas, sagrābiet bruņas; Tas Kungs pamodinājis Mēdiešu ķēniņu sirdi, jo Viņa padoms ir pret Bābeli, to samaitāt; jo šī ir Tā Kunga atriebšana, atriebšana Viņa nama dēļ.
Make sharp the arrows. Hold firm the shields. Jehovah has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it. For it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Izceļat karogu uz Bābeles mūriem, vairojiet sargāšanu, ieceļat sargus, liekat karotājus slepenās vietās; jo Tas Kungs ir ko apņēmies un darīs arīdzan, ko Viņš runājis pret Bābeles iedzīvotājiem.
Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon. Make the watch strong. Set the watchmen. Prepare the ambushes. For Jehovah has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Tu, kas pie tā lielā ūdens dzīvo, kam daudz mantas, tavs gals nācis, un tavas mantas kārības mērs ir pilns.
O thou who dwell upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end has come, the measure of thy covetousness.
14 Tas Kungs Cebaot ir zvērējis pie Savas dvēseles: “Lai gan Es tevi esmu pildījis ar cilvēkiem kā ar siseņiem; tomēr pret tevi dziedās prieka dziesmu.”
Jehovah of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men as with the canker-worm, and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
15 Kas zemi radījis ar Savu spēku, kas pasauli iztaisījis ar Savu gudrību un debesis izpletis ar Savu saprašanu.
He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
16 Kad viņa balss atskan, tad ūdeņi krāc debesīs; Viņš liek miglai celties no zemes galiem. Viņš dara zibeņus ar lietu un liek vējam ārā nākt no savām alām.
When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
17 Visi cilvēki paliek stulbi bez saprašanas, visi kausētāji top kaunā ar saviem tēliem; jo ko tie lej, ir meli, un dvašas tur nav.
Every man has become brutish, without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 Tie ir nelietība un apsmejams darbs, piemeklēšanas laikā tie iet bojā.
They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 Tā kā šie nav Jēkaba daļa, jo viņš ir visu lietu un savas tautas Radītājs, Kungs Cebaot ir viņa vārds.
The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. Jehovah of hosts is his name.
20 Tu esi Mans veseris, Manas kara bruņas, un caur tevi Es sadauzu tautas, un caur tevi Es maitāju valstis,
Thou are my battle-axe and weapons of war. And with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms,
21 Un caur tevi Es sadauzu zirgu un viņa jātnieku, un caur tevi Es sadauzu ratus un braucējus.
and with thee I will break in pieces the horse and his rider,
22 Un caur tevi Es sadauzu vīrus un sievas, un caur tevi Es sadauzu vecus un jaunus, un caur tevi Es sadauzu jaunekļus un jaunietes.
and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot and him who rides in it, and with thee I will break in pieces man and woman, and with thee I will break in pieces the old man and the youth, and with thee I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin,
23 Un caur tevi Es sadauzu ganu un viņa ganāmo pulku, caur tevi Es sadauzu arāju un viņa jūgu, un caur tevi Es sadauzu kungus un valdniekus.
and with thee I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock, and with thee I will break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen, and with thee I will break in pieces governors and deputies.
24 Bet Bābelei un visiem Kaldeju zemes iedzīvotājiem Es atmaksāšu pēc visas viņu bezdievības, ko tie darījuši pie Ciānas priekš jūsu acīm, saka Tas Kungs.
And I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, says Jehovah.
25 Redzi, saka Tas Kungs, Es celšos pret tevi, maitātāja kalns, kas visu pasauli samaitā, un Es izstiepšu Savu roku pret tevi un tevi novelšu no taviem akmeņu kalniem, un darīšu tevi par degošu kalnu,
Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, says Jehovah, which destroys all the earth. And I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
26 Ka no tevis nevar ņemt nedz stūra akmeni nedz pamata akmeni, jo tu būsi par mūžīgu posta vietu, saka Tas Kungs.
And they shall not take from thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shall be desolate forever, says Jehovah.
27 Izceļat karogu virs zemes, bazūnējat ar bazūnēm starp tautām, sataisiet tautas uz karu pret viņu, aicinājiet pret viņu Ararata, Meni un Aškenasa valstis, ieceļat kara virsnieku pret viņu, atvediet zirgus kā briesmīgus siseņus;
Set ye up a standard in the land. Blow the trumpet among the nations. Prepare the nations against her. Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a marshal against her. Cause the horses to come up as the rough canker-worm.
28 Sataisiet tautas uz karu pret viņu, Medijas ķēniņus, viņas valdniekus un visus viņas lielkungus un visas viņu valstis!
Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors of it, and all the deputies of it, and all the land of their dominion.
29 Tad zeme drebēs un trīcēs, jo Tā Kunga domas pret Bābeli piepildās, darīt Bābeles zemi par posta vietu bez iedzīvotāja.
And the land trembles and is in pain, for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
30 Bābeles varenie mitējušies karot, tie paliek stiprās pilīs, viņu vara ir izsīkusi, tie ir tapuši par bābām, viņas māju vietas iededzinātas, viņas aizšaujamie salauzti.
The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting; they remain in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They have become as women. Her dwelling-places are set on fire. Her bars are broken.
31 Bēglis tek bēglim pretī un vēstnesis vēstnesim, un stāsta Bābeles ķēniņam, ka viņa pilsēta ieņemta no visām pusēm,
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to met another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
32 Un ka braslas ieņemtas, un dīķi ugunī nodeguši, un karavīri noguruši.
And the passages are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are frightened.
33 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Bābeles meita ir kā klons kuļamā laikā; vēl maķenīt, tad viņai nāks pļaujamais laiks.
For thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden. Yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
34 Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, mani aprijis, viņš mani sadauzījis, viņš mani darījis par tukšu trauku, viņš mani aprijis kā pūķis, viņš savu vēderu pildījis ar maniem gardumiem, viņš mani aizdzinis.
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me. He has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has, like a monster, swallowed me up. He has filled his stomach with my delicacies. He has cast me out.
35 Tas varas darbs, kas man un manai miesai darīts, lai nāk pār Bābeli, tā lai saka Ciānas iedzīvotāja, un manas asinis lai nāk pār Kaldejas iedzīvotājiem, tā lai saka Jeruzāleme.
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, the inhabitant of Zion shall say. And, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, Jerusalem shall say.
36 Tādēļ Tas Kungs tā saka: “Redzi, Es tiesāšu tavu lietu un tevi atriebšu, un Es viņas jūrai likšu izsīkt un viņas avotiem izžūt.
Therefore thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee. And I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
37 Un Bābele taps par akmeņu kopu, par šakāļu mājokli, par tuksnesi un par apsmieklu, bez iedzīvotāja.
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Tie kopā rūks kā lauvas un ņurdēs kā jauni lauvas.
They shall roar together like young lions. They shall growl as lions' whelps.
39 Kad tie būs iekarsēti, tad es tiem celšu priekšā viņu dzērienu un tos piedzirdināšu, ka tie bļaustīsies, bet aizmigsies uz mūžīgu miegu un ne mūžam vairs neuzmodīsies,” saka Tas Kungs.
When they are heated, I will make their feast. And I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says Jehovah.
40 “Es tos vedīšu kā jērus pie kaušanas, kā aunus ar āžiem.
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
41 Kā Šešaks tā ir ieņemts un pasaules slava tā pārvarēta! Kā Bābele ir tapusi par biedēkli starp tautām!
How Sheshach is taken, and the praise of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
42 Jūra ir plūdusi pār Bābeli, un ar viņas viļņu pulku tā ir apklāta.
The sea has come up upon Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43 Viņas pilsētas palikušas par tuksnesi, par izkaltušu sausu zemi, par zemi, kur neviens nedzīvo, kur cilvēka bērns nestaigā.
Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, nor does any son of man pass thereby.
44 Un Es piemeklēšu Belu Bābelē un izraušu no viņa rīkles, ko viņš ierijis, un tautas vairs netecēs pie viņa, jo arī Bābeles mūri ir krituši.
And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. And the nations shall not flow any more to him. Yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
45 Izejiet, Mani ļaudis, no viņas vidus, un izglābiet ikviens savu dvēseli no Tā Kunga bardzības karstuma.
My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves each man from the fierce anger of Jehovah.
46 Un jūsu sirds lai netop bailīga, un neizbīstaties no tās baumas, kas tai zemē taps dzirdēta; jo bauma nāks vienā gadā, un pēc tam cita bauma otrā gadā, un varas darbs būs tai zemē, valdnieks pret valdnieku.
And let not your heart faint. Neither fear ye for the news that shall be heard in the land. For news shall come one year, and after that in another year, news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 Tāpēc redzi, nāk dienas, tad Es piemeklēšu Bābeles dievekļus, un visa viņas zeme taps kaunā un visi viņas nokautie gulēs viņas vidū.
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon. And her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Un par Bābeli gavilēs debesis un zeme, un viss, kas tur ir, ka no ziemeļa puses pār viņu nāk postītāji, saka Tas Kungs.
Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon. For the destroyers shall come to her from the north, says Jehovah.
49 Un kā Bābele gāzusi Israēla nokautos, tā Bābelē kritīs visas zemes nokautie.
As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
50 Jūs no zobena izglābtie, ejat un nestāviet! Pieminiet To Kungu tālā zemē un turat Jeruzālemi savā sirdī.
Ye who have escaped the sword, go ye; do not stand still. Remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 Mēs esam palikuši kaunā, jo mēs esam dzirdējuši apsmieklu; kauns ir apklājis mūsu vaigu, tāpēc ka sveši nākuši pār Tā Kunga nama svētumu.”
We are confounded, because we have heard reproach. Confusion has covered our faces. For strangers have come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
52 “Tāpēc redzi, nāk dienas,” saka Tas Kungs, “tad Es piemeklēšu viņas dievekļus, un visā viņas zemē vaidēs nāvīgi ievainotie.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will execute judgment upon her graven images, and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
53 Jebšu Bābele kāptu debesīs un stiprinātu savu varu augstībā, tad tomēr postītāji no Manis nāks pār viņu,” saka Tas Kungs.
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me destroyers shall come to her, says Jehovah.
54 Kliegšanas balss ir dzirdama no Bābeles un liels posts no Kaldejas.
The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 Jo Tas Kungs izposta Bābeli un iznīcina no tās to lielo troksni, jo viņu viļņi kauc kā vareni ūdeņi, viņu varenais troksnis skan.
For Jehovah lays Babylon waste, and destroys the great voice out of her, and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered.
56 Jo postītājs nāk pār viņu, pār Bābeli, un viņas varenie top gūstīti, viņu stopi top salauzti. Jo Tas Kungs ir Dievs, tas atmaksātājs, atmaksādams viņš atmaksā.
For the destroyer has come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces. For Jehovah is a God of recompenses; he will surely requite.
57 “Un Es piedzirdināšu viņas lielkungus un viņas gudros, viņas valdniekus un viņas virsniekus un viņas varoņus, un tie gulēs mūžīgu miegu un neuzmodīsies,” saka tas ķēniņš, kam vārds ir Kungs Cebaot.
And I will make drunk her rulers and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men. And they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
58 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: “Platie Bābeles mūri visai(pilnīgi) taps nopostīti, un viņas augstie vārti ar uguni sadedzināti, tā ka tautas velti strādājušas, un ļaudis ugunij par labu pūlējušies.”
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire. And the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire, and they shall be weary.
59 Šis ir tas vārds, ko pravietis Jeremija pavēlēja Serajam, Nerijas dēlam, Mazejas dēla dēlam, kad šis ar Cedeķiju, Jūda ķēniņu, gāja uz Bābeli, viņa valdīšanas ceturtā gadā, un Seraja bija tas ceļa lielkungs.
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
60 Un Jeremija rakstīja visu to ļaunumu, kam bija nākt pār Bābeli, grāmatā, visus šos vārdus, kas rakstīti pret Bābeli.
And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that would come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61 Un Jeremija sacīja uz Seraju: “Kad tu nonāksi Bābelē, tad pielūko un lasi visus šos vārdus,
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou come to Babylon, then see that thou read all these words.
62 Un saki: ak Kungs, Tu pret šo vietu esi runājis, ka to gribi izdeldēt, tā ka tur vairs nepaliek iedzīvotāju, ne cilvēku ne lopu, bet ka tai jāpaliek par mūžīgu posta vietu.
And say, O Jehovah, thou have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate forever.
63 Un kad tu šo grāmatu esi izlasījis, tad piesien pie tās akmeni un iemet to Eifrat upē,
And it shall be, when thou have made an end of reading this book, that thou shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates.
64 Un saki: tāpat Bābele nogrims un nenāks vairs augšā aiz tās nelaimes, ko Es pār viņu vedīšu, un tie nogurs.” Tik tālu Jeremijas vārdi.
And thou shall say, Thus Babylon shall sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her, and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
