Jeremijas 6
1 Bēgat, Benjamina bērni, no Jeruzālemes, bazūnējat Tekoā, ceļat ugunszīmi BetKeremē, jo bēdas rādās no ziemeļa puses un liels posts.
“Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And blow a horn in Tekoa, And lift up a flame over Beth-Haccerem, For evil has been seen from the north, And great destruction.
2 Es izdeldu Ciānas meitu, to jauko un vēlīgo.
I have cut off the lovely and delicate one, The daughter of Zion.
3 Gani uz viņu nāks ar saviem ganāmiem pulkiem, tie uzcels teltis visapkārt ap viņu, tie noganīs ikviens savu vietu.
Shepherds and their droves come to her, They have struck tents by her all around, They have each fed [in] his own station.”
4 Taisāties uz karu pret viņu, ceļaties, ejam pašā dienas vidū. Ak vai, (bēdas) mums! Jo vakars metās un ēnas paliek garākas.
“Sanctify the battle against her, Rise, and we go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day has turned, For the shades of evening are stretched out,
5 Ceļaties, un ejam pašā naktī un izpostīsim viņas jaukos namus.
Rise, and we go up by night, And we destroy her palaces.”
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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Cut down her wood, And pour out a mound against Jerusalem, She [is] the city to be inspected, She [is] full of oppression in her midst.
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 the digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she has dug [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in her, Sickness and striking [are] continually before My face.
8 Pieņem mācību, Jeruzāleme, lai Mana dvēsele no tevis nenogriežas, lai Es tevi nedaru par tuksnesi, par zemi bez iedzīvotāja.
Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul be alienated from you, Lest I make you a desolation, A land [that is] not 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.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “They surely glean, as a vine, the remnant of Israel, Put your hand back, as a gatherer to the baskets.”
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 do I speak, and testify, and they hear? Behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, And they are not able to attend. Behold, a word of YHWH has been to them for a reproach, They do not delight in 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 have been filled with the fury of YHWH (I have been weary of containing), “To pour [it] on the suckling in the street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even husband with wife are captured, [The] elderly with one 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 have been turned to others, Fields and wives together, For I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH.
13 Jo visi ir mantas kārīgi, tā mazi kā lieli; tā pravietis kā priesteris, visi dzen viltību.
“For from their least to their greatest, Everyone is gaining dishonest gain, And from prophet even to priest, Everyone is dealing falsely,
14 Un tie dziedina Manas tautas vainu kā par nieku, sacīdami: miers, miers! Kur tomēr miera nav.
And they heal the breach of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! And there is no 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 when they did abomination! Indeed, they are not at all ashamed, Indeed, they have not known blushing, Therefore they fall among those falling, In the time I have inspected them, They stumble,” said YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “Stand by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where [is] this—the good way? And go in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, We do not go.
17 Es arī esmu iecēlis sargus pār jums, klausāties uz trumetes skaņu. Bet tie saka: mēs negribam klausīties.
And I have raised up watchmen for you, Attend to the voice of the horn. And they say, We do not attend.
18 Tāpēc klausāties, tautas, un ņem vērā, draudze, kas viņu starpā notiek.
Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, That which [is] on them.
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 am bringing evil on this people, The fruit of their plans, For they gave no attention to My words, And My law—they kick against it.
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.
Why [is] this to Me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, And the sweet cane from a far-off land, Your burnt-offerings [are] not for acceptance, And your sacrifices have not been sweet 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 said YHWH: “Behold, I give stumbling blocks to this people, And fathers and sons have stumbled against them together, The neighbor and his friend perish.”
22 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, tauta nāk no ziemeļa zemes, un liela tauta celsies no pasaules malām;
Thus said YHWH: “Behold, a people has come from a north country, And a great nation is stirred up from the sides 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 take hold of bow and javelin, It [is] fierce, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, And they ride on horses, Set in array as a man of war, Against you, O daughter of Zion.”
24 Kad mēs par viņiem baumas dzirdējām, tad mūsu rokas nogura, bailība mums uzbruka un sāpes kā dzemdētājai.
We have heard its sound, our hands have been feeble, Distress has seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.
25 Neizejat laukā un nestaigājat pa ceļu, jo ienaidnieka zobens ir visapkārt par iztrūcināšanu.
Do not go forth to the field, And do not walk in the way, For the enemy has a sword, Fear [is] all around.
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 on sackcloth, And roll yourself in ashes, Make mourning [as for] an only one, A most bitter lamentation, For the spoiler suddenly comes against us.
27 Es tevi esmu iecēlis par pārbaudītāju starp Maniem ļaudīm kā stipru pili, ka tev viņu ceļu būs atzīt un pārbaudīt.
“I have given you a watchtower, A fortress among My people, And you know, and have tried their way.
28 Tie visi ir tie lielākie atkāpēji un staigā viltībā, tie ir varš un dzelzs, tie visi ir samaitātāji.
All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking slanderously—bronze and iron, All of them are corrupters.
29 Plēšas ir sadegušas, no viņu uguns nāk tikai svins, kausētājs velti kausējis, jo sārņi nav atšķirti.
The bellows have been burned, The lead has been consumed by fire, A refiner has refined in vain, And the wicked have not been drawn away.
30 Tie top nosaukti par atmestu sudrabu, jo Tas Kungs tos ir atmetis.
They have called them rejected silver, For YHWH has kicked against them!”
