Jeremijas 51

1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es celšu maitātāja garu pret Bābeli un pret tiem, kas dzīvo Manu pretinieku serdē.

“Yahweh says this: See, I am about to stir up a wind of destruction against Babylon and against those who live in Leb Kamai.

2 Un Es sūtīšu Bābelei vētītājus, kas tos vētīs un iztukšos viņas zemi, jo tie būs visapkārt ap viņu nelaimes dienā.

I will send foreigners to Babylon. They will scatter her and devastate her land, for they will come against her from all around on the day of disaster.

3 Lai strēlnieks stopu uzvelk pret strēlnieku un pret to, kas lepojās savās krūšu bruņās. Un nežēlojiet viņas jaunekļus, izdeldiet visu viņas spēku,

Do not let the archers bend their bows; do not let them put on armor. Do not spare her young men; set her whole army apart for destruction.

4 Ka nokauti krīt Kaldeju zemē un nodurti pa viņas ielām.

For the wounded people will fall in the land of the Chaldeans; those who are killed will fall 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 and Judah are not forsaken by their God, by Yahweh of hosts, although their land is filled with offenses committed 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 from the midst of Babylon; let each man save himself. Do not perish in her iniquity. For it is the time of Yahweh's vengeance. He will repay all of it to her.

7 Bābele bija zelta biķeris Tā Kunga rokā, kas piedzirdināja visu pasauli; tautas dzēra no viņas vīna, tāpēc tautas palika trakas.

Babylon was a golden cup in the hand of Yahweh that made all the world drunk; nations drank her wine and became insane.

8 Bābele ir piepeši kritusi un satriekta. Kauciet par viņu, ņemiet zāles viņas vātīm, varbūt tā taps dziedināta.

Babylon will fall suddenly and be destroyed. Wail for her! Give her medicine for her pain; perhaps she can 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 wished to heal Babylon, but she is not healed. Let us all leave her and go away, to our own land. For her guilt reaches up to the heavens; it is piled up to the clouds.

10 Tas Kungs ir gaismā nesis mūsu taisnību, nāciet, lai izteicam Ciānā Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, darbu.

Yahweh has declared our innocence. Come, let us tell in Zion the deeds of Yahweh 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.

Sharpen the arrows and take up the shields. Yahweh is stirring up the spirit of the king of the Medes in a plan to destroy Babylon. This is for Yahweh's vengeance, vengeance for the destruction 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.

Lift up a banner over Babylon's walls; make the watch strong; set up watchmen; prepare the ambushes; for the LORD will do what he has said 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.

You people who live by many streams of water, you people who are rich with treasures, your end has come. The thread of your life is now cut short.

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.”

Yahweh of hosts has sworn by his own life, 'I will fill you with men, like a swarm of locusts, and they will raise a battle cry against you.'

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 set in place the world by his wisdom. 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.

When he thunders, there is the roar of waters in the heavens, for he brings up the mist from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for rain and sends out wind from his storehouses.

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 ignorant, without knowledge. Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols. For his cast images are frauds, and there is no life in them.

18 Tie ir nelietība un apsmejams darbs, piemeklēšanas laikā tie iet bojā.

They are useless, the work of mockers; they will perish at the time of their punishment.

19 Tā kā šie nav Jēkaba daļa, jo viņš ir visu lietu un savas tautas Radītājs, Kungs Cebaot ir viņa vārds.

But God, the portion of Jacob, is not like these, for he is the molder of all things. Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh 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,

You are my war hammer, my weapon for battle. With you I will smash nations and destroy kingdoms.

21 Un caur tevi Es sadauzu zirgu un viņa jātnieku, un caur tevi Es sadauzu ratus un braucējus.

With you I will smash horses and their riders; with you I will smash chariots and their drivers.

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.

With you I will smash each man and woman; with you I will smash the old and the young. With you I will smash the young men and the virgin girls.

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.

With you I will smash the shepherds and their flocks; with you I will smash the plowmen and their teams. With you I will smash the governors and officials.

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.

For in your sight I will pay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all of the evil that they did in Zion—this is Yahweh's declaration.

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,

See, I am against you, mountain of destruction—this is Yahweh's declaration—which destroys the whole earth. I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain.

26 Ka no tevis nevar ņemt nedz stūra akmeni nedz pamata akmeni, jo tu būsi par mūžīgu posta vietu, saka Tas Kungs.

So they will not take from you any stone to construct a building's corner or foundation; for you will become an everlasting devastation—this is Yahweh's declaration.

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 up a banner over the earth. Blow the trumpet over the nations. Call the nations to attack her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander to attack her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.

28 Sataisiet tautas uz karu pret viņu, Medijas ķēniņus, viņas valdniekus un visus viņas lielkungus un visas viņu valstis!

Prepare the nations to attack her: The kings of the Medes and his governors, all of his officials and all the lands under his rule.

29 Tad zeme drebēs un trīcēs, jo Tā Kunga domas pret Bābeli piepildās, darīt Bābeles zemi par posta vietu bez iedzīvotāja.

For the land will shake and be in anguish, since Yahweh's plans continue against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a wasteland where there is no 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 soldiers in Babylon have stopped fighting; they stay in their strongholds. Their strength has failed; they have become women—her homes are on fire, the bars of her gates are broken.

31 Bēglis tek bēglim pretī un vēstnesis vēstnesim, un stāsta Bābeles ķēniņam, ka viņa pilsēta ieņemta no visām pusēm,

A messenger runs to proclaim to another messenger, and a runner tells another runner to report to the king of Babylon that his city has been taken from end to end.

32 Un ka braslas ieņemtas, un dīķi ugunī nodeguši, un karavīri noguruši.

So the fords over the river are seized; the enemy is burning the reed marshes, and Babylon's fighting men are confused.

33 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Bābeles meita ir kā klons kuļamā laikā; vēl maķenīt, tad viņai nāks pļaujamais laiks.

For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. It is time to trample her down. In a little while the time of harvest will come to 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.

'Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me, he has driven me into confusion and has made me an empty pot. Like a monster he has swallowed me, he has filled his stomach with my delicious foods, and then he has spit 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 one who lives in Zion will say, 'May the violence done to me and my flesh be on Babylon.' Jerusalem will say, 'May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea.'

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 Yahweh says this: See, I am about to plead your case and bring about vengeance for you. For I will dry up Babylon's waters and make her springs run dry.

37 Un Bābele taps par akmeņu kopu, par šakāļu mājokli, par tuksnesi un par apsmieklu, bez iedzīvotāja.

Babylon will become heaps of rubble, a den of jackals, a horror, an object of hissing, where there are no inhabitants.

38 Tie kopā rūks kā lauvas un ņurdēs kā jauni lauvas.

The Babylonians will roar together like young lions. They will growl like lion cubs.

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 become hot with greed, I will make a feast for them; I will make them drunk so they become happy, and then sleep an unending sleep and not wake up—this is Yahweh's declaration—

40 “Es tos vedīšu kā jērus pie kaušanas, kā aunus ar āžiem.

I will send them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.

41 Kā Šešaks tā ir ieņemts un pasaules slava tā pārvarēta! Kā Bābele ir tapusi par biedēkli starp tautām!

How Babylon has been captured! So the praise of all the earth is seized. How Babylon has become a ruined place among the nations.

42 Jūra ir plūdusi pār Bābeli, un ar viņas viļņu pulku tā ir apklāta.

The sea has come up over Babylon! She is covered with its roaring waves.

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 wilderness, a land that no one inhabits, and no human being passes through.

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.

So I will punish Bel in Babylon; I will bring out from his mouth what he swallowed, and the nations will no longer flow to him with their offerings. The walls of Babylon will fall.

45 Izejiet, Mani ļaudis, no viņas vidus, un izglābiet ikviens savu dvēseli no Tā Kunga bardzības karstuma.

Go out from her midst, my people. Let each of you save his own life from the fury of my wrath.

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.

Do not let your hearts be timid or fear the news that is heard in the land, for the news will come one year. After it in the next year there will be news, and violence will be in the land. Ruler will be 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, see, days are coming when I will punish the carved idols of Babylon. All of her land will be ashamed, and all of her slaughtered ones will fall in her midst.

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 in them will rejoice over Babylon. For destroyers will come for her from the north—this is Yahweh's declaration.

49 Un kā Bābele gāzusi Israēla nokautos, tā Bābelē kritīs visas zemes nokautie.

As Babylon has made the killed of Israel fall, so the killed of all her land will fall in Babylon.

50 Jūs no zobena izglābtie, ejat un nestāviet! Pieminiet To Kungu tālā zemē un turat Jeruzālemi savā sirdī.

Survivors of the sword, go away! Do not stay still. Call Yahweh to mind from far away; let Jerusalem come to 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 ashamed, for we have heard insults; reproach has covered our faces, for foreigners have entered the holy places of Yahweh's house.

52 “Tāpēc redzi, nāk dienas,” saka Tas Kungs, “tad Es piemeklēšu viņas dievekļus, un visā viņas zemē vaidēs nāvīgi ievainotie.

Therefore, see, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will punish her carved idols, and the wounded people will groan in all of her land.

53 Jebšu Bābele kāptu debesīs un stiprinātu savu varu augstībā, tad tomēr postītāji no Manis nāks pār viņu,” saka Tas Kungs.

For even if Babylon went up to the heavens or fortified her highest fortresses, destroyers would come from me to her—this is Yahweh's declaration.

54 Kliegšanas balss ir dzirdama no Bābeles un liels posts no Kaldejas.

A shout of distress came from Babylon, a great collapse 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 Yahweh is destroying Babylon. He is causing her loud voice to perish. Their enemies roar like the waves of many waters; their noise becomes very strong.

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 destroyers have come against her—against Babylon!—and her warriors have been captured. Their bows are broken, for Yahweh is the God of vengeance; he will surely carry out this repayment.

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.

For I will make her princes, her sages, her officials, and her soldiers drunk, and they will sleep in an unending sleep and never wake up —this is the King's declaration: Yahweh 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.”

Yahweh of hosts says this: The thick walls of Babylon will be completely demolished, and her high gates will be burned. Then the peoples coming to her aid will labor uselessly; everything that the nations try to do for her will be burned up.”

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.

This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was a chief officer.

60 Un Jeremija rakstīja visu to ļaunumu, kam bija nākt pār Bābeli, grāmatā, visus šos vārdus, kas rakstīti pret Bābeli.

For Jeremiah had written in a scroll about all the disaster that was going to come on Babylon—all these words that were written about Babylon.

61 Un Jeremija sacīja uz Seraju: “Kad tu nonāksi Bābelē, tad pielūko un lasi visus šos vārdus,

Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you go to Babylon, then you will see and you will read these words aloud.

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.

Then you will say, 'Yahweh, you yourself have declared that you would destroy this place, and that no man or animal will live in it, and it will be desolate forever.'

63 Un kad tu šo grāmatu esi izlasījis, tad piesien pie tās akmeni un iemet to Eifrat upē,

Then when you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle 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.

Say, 'Babylon will sink like this. It will not arise because of the disaster that I am sending against it, and they will fall.'” Jeremiah's words end here.
