Jeremijas 6
1 Bēgat, Benjamina bērni, no Jeruzālemes, bazūnējat Tekoā, ceļat ugunszīmi BetKeremē, jo bēdas rādās no ziemeļa puses un liels posts.
Strengthen yourselves, ye children of Benjamin, [to flee] out of the midst of Jerusalem, and sound an alarm with the trumpet in Thecue, and set up a signal over Baethacharma: for evil threatens from the north, and a great destruction is coming.
2 Es izdeldu Ciānas meitu, to jauko un vēlīgo.
And [thy] pride, O daughter of Sion, shall be taken away.
3 Gani uz viņu nāks ar saviem ganāmiem pulkiem, tie uzcels teltis visapkārt ap viņu, tie noganīs ikviens savu vietu.
The shepherds and their flocks shall come to her; and they shall pitch [their] tents against her round about, and shall feed [their flocks] each with his hand.
4 Taisāties uz karu pret viņu, ceļaties, ejam pašā dienas vidū. Ak vai, (bēdas) mums! Jo vakars metās un ēnas paliek garākas.
Prepare yourselves for war against her; rise up, and let us go up against her at noon. Woe to us! for the day has gone down, for the shadows of the day fail.
5 Ceļaties, un ejam pašā naktī un izpostīsim viņas jaukos namus.
Rise, and let us go up against her by night, and destroy her foundations.
6 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: nocērtiet kokus un uzmetiet valni pret Jeruzālemi; šī ir tā pilsēta, kas taps piemeklēta. Viņas vidū ir tik netaisnība vien.
For thus saith the Lord, Hew down her trees, array a numerous force against Jerusalem. O false city; [there is] all oppression in her.
7 Kā avots izverd savu ūdeni, tā viņa izverd savu ļaunumu. Varasdarbu un postu tur dzird, kaušanās un plēšanās bez mitēšanās ir manā priekšā.
As a cistern cools water, so her wickedness cools her, ungodliness and misery shall be heard in her, [as] continually before her.
8 Pieņem mācību, Jeruzāleme, lai Mana dvēsele no tevis nenogriežas, lai Es tevi nedaru par tuksnesi, par zemi bez iedzīvotāja.
Thou shalt be chastened, O Jerusalem, with pain and the scourge, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee a desert land, which shall not be inhabited.
9 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: kas atliek no Israēla, to tie otrā reizē nolasīs kā vīna koku. Ņem traukus atkal rokā kā vīna ogu lasītājs.
For thus saith the Lord, Glean, glean thoroughly as a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back [your hands] as a grape-gatherer to his basket.
10 Uz ko lai es runāju un dodu liecību, ka tie to dzird? Redzi, viņu ausis ir neapgraizītas, ka tie nevar dzirdēt. Redzi, Tā Kunga vārds tiem ir par apsmieklu, pie tā tiem nav labs prāts.
To whom shall I speak, and testify, that he may hearken? behold, thine ears are uncircumcised, and they shall not be able to hear: behold, the word of the Lord is become to them a reproach, they will not at all desire it.
11 Tādēļ es esmu pilns Tā Kunga bardzības, ka nevaru valdīties. Izgāz to arī pār bērniem uz ielām, un pār to jaunekļu draudzi kopā, jo vīri un sievas tiks aizņemti, veci un kas mūžu piedzīvojuši.
And I allowed my wrath to come to full, yet I kept [it] in, and did not utterly destroy them: I will pour it out on the children without, and on the assembly of young men together: for man and woman shall be taken together, the old man with him that is full of days.
12 Un viņu nami taps citiem līdz ar tīrumiem un sievām; jo Es izstiepšu Savu roku pret tās zemes iedzīvotājiem, saka Tas Kungs.
And their houses shall be turned to others, [with] their fields and their wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of this land, saith the Lord.
13 Jo visi ir mantas kārīgi, tā mazi kā lieli; tā pravietis kā priesteris, visi dzen viltību.
For from the least of them even to the greatest they have all committed iniquity; from the priest even to the false prophet they have all wrought falsely.
14 Un tie dziedina Manas tautas vainu kā par nieku, sacīdami: miers, miers! Kur tomēr miera nav.
And they healed the breach of my people [imperfectly], making light [of it], and saying, Peace, peace, and where is peace?
15 Tie krituši kaunā, ka darījuši negantību. Bet tie nemaz nekaunas un neprot kauna. Tāpēc tie kritīs starp tiem kritušiem; kad es tos piemeklēšu, tad tiem būs krist, saka Tas Kungs.
They were ashamed because they failed; yet they were not ashamed as those who are [truly] ashamed, and they knew not their own disgrace: therefore shall they [utterly] fall when they do fall, and in the time of visitation shall they perish, said the Lord.
16 Tā saka Tas Kungs: stājaties uz ceļiem un raugāt un vaicājiet pēc tiem senajiem ceļiem, kurš tas labais ceļš, un staigājiet pa to, tad jūs atradīsiet dusu savai dvēselei. Bet tie saka: mēs negribam staigāt.
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in them].
17 Es arī esmu iecēlis sargus pār jums, klausāties uz trumetes skaņu. Bet tie saka: mēs negribam klausīties.
I have set watchmen over you, [saying], Hear ye the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hear [it].
18 Tāpēc klausāties, tautas, un ņem vērā, draudze, kas viņu starpā notiek.
Therefore have the nations heard, and they that feed their flocks.
19 Klausies, zeme! Redzi, Es vedīšu ļaunumu pār šiem ļaudīm, viņu padomu augļus, jo tie neklausās uz Manu vārdu, un Manu bauslību tie atmet.
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evils upon this people, [even] the fruit of their rebellions; for they have not heeded my words, and they have rejected my law.
20 Par ko tad Man tas vīraks, kas nāk no Sabas, un tās labās niedres no tālās zemes? Jūsu dedzināmie upuri Man nepatīk, un jūsu kaujamie upuri Man nemīlami.
Wherefore do ye bring me frankincense from Saba, and cinnamon from a land afar off? your whole-burnt-offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices have not been pleasant to me.
21 Tādēļ Tas Kungs tā saka: redzi, Es šiem ļaudīm likšu piedauzekļus, un tēvi un bērni kopā pie tiem piedauzīsies, kaimiņš ar kaimiņu ies bojā.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] bring weakness upon this people, and the fathers and sons shall be weak together; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
22 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, tauta nāk no ziemeļa zemes, un liela tauta celsies no pasaules malām;
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people comes from the north, and nations shall be stirred up from the end of the earth.
23 Tā nes stopus un šķēpus, tā ir briesmīga un nežēlīga, viņu balss kauc kā jūra, un tie jāj uz zirgiem; tie ir apbruņoti kā karavīri pret tevi, Ciānas meita.
They shall lay hold on bow and spear; [the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy; their voice is as the roaring sea; they shall array themselves for war against thee as fire on horses and chariots, O daughter of Sion.
24 Kad mēs par viņiem baumas dzirdējām, tad mūsu rokas nogura, bailība mums uzbruka un sāpes kā dzemdētājai.
We have heard the report of them: our hands are weakened: anguish has seized us, the pangs as of a woman in travail.
25 Neizejat laukā un nestaigājat pa ceļu, jo ienaidnieka zobens ir visapkārt par iztrūcināšanu.
Go not forth into the field, and walk not in the ways; for the sword of the enemy lingers round about.
26 Ak, mana tauta, apjoz maisu un nometies pelnos, žēlojies kā par vienīgo dēlu, bēdājies gauži, jo postītājs nāk pār mums piepeši.
O daughter of my people, gird thyself with sackcloth: sprinkle [thyself] with ashes; make for thyself pitiable lamentation, [as] the mourning for a beloved [son]: for misery will come suddenly upon you.
27 Es tevi esmu iecēlis par pārbaudītāju starp Maniem ļaudīm kā stipru pili, ka tev viņu ceļu būs atzīt un pārbaudīt.
I have caused thee to be tried among tried nations, and thou shalt know me when I have tried their way.
28 Tie visi ir tie lielākie atkāpēji un staigā viltībā, tie ir varš un dzelzs, tie visi ir samaitātāji.
[They are] all disobedient, walking perversely: [they are] brass and iron; they are all corrupted.
29 Plēšas ir sadegušas, no viņu uguns nāk tikai svins, kausētājs velti kausējis, jo sārņi nav atšķirti.
The bellows have failed from the fire, the lead has failed: the silversmith works at his trade in vain; their wickedness is not consumed.
30 Tie top nosaukti par atmestu sudrabu, jo Tas Kungs tos ir atmetis.
Call ye them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them.
