< Jeremijas 51 >
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es celšu maitātāja garu pret Bābeli un pret tiem, kas dzīvo Manu pretinieku serdē.
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will awaken against Babylon, and against those that dwell in the midst of my opponents, 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 out unto Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall empty out her land; for they shall be against her round about on the day of trouble.
3 Lai strēlnieks stopu uzvelk pret strēlnieku un pret to, kas lepojās savās krūšu bruņās. Un nežēlojiet viņas jaunekļus, izdeldiet visu viņas spēku,
Let the archer come against any one that bendeth his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his armor: 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 the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are pierced 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 not widowed are Israel and Judah of their God, of the Lord of hosts; for the land of those was filled with guiltiness 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 ye out of the midst of Babylon, and save ye every man his life: perish not for her iniquity; for this is a time of vengeance unto the Lord; a recompense is he paying out unto her.
7 Bābele bija zelta biķeris Tā Kunga rokā, kas piedzirdināja visu pasauli; tautas dzēra no viņas vīna, tāpēc tautas palika trakas.
A golden cup hath Babylon been in the hand of the Lord, that made drunken all the earth: of her wine have nations drunk; therefore are the nations rendered mad.
8 Bābele ir piepeši kritusi un satriekta. Kauciet par viņu, ņemiet zāles viņas vātīm, varbūt tā taps dziedināta.
Suddenly is Babylon fallen and broken: wail ye for her; fetch balm for her wound, perhaps 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 was not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one unto his own country; for her punishment reacheth unto the heavens, and it is lifted up even to the skies.”
10 Tas Kungs ir gaismā nesis mūsu taisnību, nāciet, lai izteicam Ciānā Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, darbu.
The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us relate in Zion the work of the Lord 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 bright the arrows; fill the quivers: the Lord hath awakened the spirit of the kings of Media; for against Babylon is his intention, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for 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.
Against the walls of Babylon lift up the standard, strengthen the watch, set up the watchmen, make ready the ambushes; for the Lord hath both intended and done what he had spoken against 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 that dwellest upon many waters, great in treasures, thy end is come, the full measure of thy selfish robbery.
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.”
Sworn hath the Lord of hosts by himself, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with locusts: and they shall lift up the battle-cry against thee.
15 Kas zemi radījis ar Savu spēku, kas pasauli iztaisījis ar Savu gudrību un debesis izpletis ar Savu saprašanu.
He made the earth by his power, he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he 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.
At the sound when he giveth a multitude of waters in the heavens, and causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; when he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures:
17 Visi cilvēki paliek stulbi bez saprašanas, visi kausētāji top kaunā ar saviem tēliem; jo ko tie lej, ir meli, un dvašas tur nav.
Then standeth every man as brutish without knowledge; ashamed is every goldsmith because of the graven image; for falsehood is his molten work, and there is no breath therein.
18 Tie ir nelietība un apsmejams darbs, piemeklēšanas laikā tie iet bojā.
They are vanity, the work of deception: in the time of their punishment shall they vanish.
19 Tā kā šie nav Jēkaba daļa, jo viņš ir visu lietu un savas tautas Radītājs, Kungs Cebaot ir viņa vārds.
Not like these is the portion of Jacob; for He is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: The Lord 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 art a hammer unto me, weapons of war; and I strike down with thee nations, and I destroy with thee kingdoms;
21 Un caur tevi Es sadauzu zirgu un viņa jātnieku, un caur tevi Es sadauzu ratus un braucējus.
And I strike down with thee the horse and his rider; and I strike down with thee the chariot and its 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 I strike down with thee man and woman; and I strike down with thee the aged and the lad; and I strike down with thee 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 I strike down with thee the shepherd and his flock; and I strike down with thee the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and I strike down with thee governors and rulers.
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.
But [now] will I repay unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes, saith the Lord.
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, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will roll thee down from the rocks, and will render 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 everlasting ruins shalt thou be, saith the Lord.
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;
Lift ye up a standard in the land, blow ye the cornet among the nations, make ready against her nations, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint against her a commander; cause the horses to come up like the hairy locusts.
28 Sataisiet tautas uz karu pret viņu, Medijas ķēniņus, viņas valdniekus un visus viņas lielkungus un visas viņu valstis!
Make ready against her the nations with the kings of Media, its governors, and all its rulers, 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 earth quaketh and trembleth; for every one of the purposes of the Lord is fulfilled against Babylon, to change the land of Babylon into a desolate country without an 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 to fight, they sit still in [their] strongholds; their might is vanished; they are become as women: they have burnt her dwelling-places; her bars are broken.
31 Bēglis tek bēglim pretī un vēstnesis vēstnesim, un stāsta Bābeles ķēniņam, ka viņa pilsēta ieņemta no visām pusēm,
One runner shall run to meet another runner, and one messenger to meet another messenger, to tell unto the king of Babylon that his city is captured at all ends,
32 Un ka braslas ieņemtas, un dīķi ugunī nodeguši, un karavīri noguruši.
And that the passages have been seized, and that they have burnt the reeds with fire, and that the men of war are affrighted.
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 hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time they thresh therein; but yet a little while more, when 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 devoured me, he crushed me, he set me down as an empty vessel, he swallowed me up like a huge serpent, he filled his belly with my delicacies: he drove 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,” will the inhabitress of Zion say; and “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” will Jerusalem 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 hath said the Lord, Behold, I will contend in thy cause, and execute vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and cause her springs to fail.
37 Un Bābele taps par akmeņu kopu, par šakāļu mājokli, par tuksnesi un par apsmieklu, bez iedzīvotāja.
And Babylon shall become ruinous heaps, a dwelling-place for monsters, an astonishment, and a derision, without an inhabitant.
38 Tie kopā rūks kā lauvas un ņurdēs kā jauni lauvas.
Together like lions shall they roar: they shall yell like the 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 will I prepare their drinking-feasts, and I will make them drunken, in order that they may be joyful, and [then] sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake again, saith the Lord.
40 “Es tos vedīšu kā jērus pie kaušanas, kā aunus ar āžiem.
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like wethers with he-goats.
41 Kā Šešaks tā ir ieņemts un pasaules slava tā pārvarēta! Kā Bābele ir tapusi par biedēkli starp tautām!
How is Sheshach captured! and how is conquered the praise of the whole earth! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42 Jūra ir plūdusi pār Bābeli, un ar viņas viļņu pulku tā ir apklāta.
The sea is come up over Babylon: with the multitude of its waves is she covered.
43 Viņas pilsētas palikušas par tuksnesi, par izkaltušu sausu zemi, par zemi, kur neviens nedzīvo, kur cilvēka bērns nestaigā.
Her cities are become desolate places, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein not any man shall dwell, and through which no son of man shall pass along.
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 inflict punishment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth what he hath swallowed up out of his mouth; and nations shall not assemble together like a stream unto him any more; yea, the wall of Babylon also is fallen.
45 Izejiet, Mani ļaudis, no viņas vidus, un izglābiet ikviens savu dvēseli no Tā Kunga bardzības karstuma.
Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and save ye every man his life from the fierceness of the anger of the Lord.
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 so that your heart may not faint, and ye fear at the report that is heard in the land: when the report cometh in one year, and after that in another year cometh another report, and when violence [be done] in the land, [by] 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, days are coming, when I will inflict punishment on the graven images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fail 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.
And then shall the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, sing because of Babylon; for from the north shall come unto her the destroyers, saith the Lord.
49 Un kā Bābele gāzusi Israēla nokautos, tā Bābelē kritīs visas zemes nokautie.
Also Babylon is destined to fall, O ye slain ones of Israel, also at Babylon 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.
[But] ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember afar off the Lord, and let Jerusalem rise up in your heart.
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 had been made ashamed, because we had heard reproach: confusion had covered our faces; because strangers were come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.”
52 “Tāpēc redzi, nāk dienas,” saka Tas Kungs, “tad Es piemeklēšu viņas dievekļus, un visā viņas zemē vaidēs nāvīgi ievainotie.
Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will inflict punishment on her graven images: and through all her land shall groan the deadly wounded.
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 should destroyers come unto her, saith the Lord.
54 Kliegšanas balss ir dzirdama no Bābeles un liels posts no Kaldejas.
A sound of a painful cry cometh from Babylon, and of a great breach 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.
Because the Lord wasteth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the loud noise; but their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice is sent forth;
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.
Because the destroyer is come over her, over Babylon, and her mighty men are caught, every one of their bows is broken; for the God of recompenses, the Lord, 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 drunken her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake again, saith the King, The Lord of hosts is his name.
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 hath said the Lord of hosts, Every one of the broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire; so that nations shall have labored in vain, and the people for the fire, and so shall they have wearied themselves.
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 Serayah the son of Neriyah, the son of Machseyah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah unto Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Serayah 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 down all the evil that should come upon Babylon in one book, namely, 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 Serayah, As thou comest to Babylon, see to it, 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 thou shalt say, O Lord, thou thyself hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, so that there shall not be in it an inhabitant, either man or beast; but that it shall become a desolate place for ever.
63 Un kad tu šo grāmatu esi izlasījis, tad piesien pie tās akmeni un iemet to Eifrat upē,
And it shall be, when thou hast finished reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and throw 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 shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again from the evil that I will bring upon her: and her people shall be wearied. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
