Jeremijas 6
1 Bēgat, Benjamina bērni, no Jeruzālemes, bazūnējat Tekoā, ceļat ugunszīmi BetKeremē, jo bēdas rādās no ziemeļa puses un liels posts.
"Flee for safety, you people of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.
2 Es izdeldu Ciānas meitu, to jauko un vēlīgo.
The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
3 Gani uz viņu nāks ar saviem ganāmiem pulkiem, tie uzcels teltis visapkārt ap viņu, tie noganīs ikviens savu vietu.
Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her all around; they shall feed everyone in his place."
4 Taisāties uz karu pret viņu, ceļaties, ejam pašā dienas vidū. Ak vai, (bēdas) mums! Jo vakars metās un ēnas paliek garākas.
"Prepare war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us. For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 Ceļaties, un ejam pašā naktī un izpostīsim viņas jaukos namus.
Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us 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 the LORD of hosts said, "Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. She is the city to be punished; she is full of oppression in the midst of 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 well casts forth its waters, so she casts forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
8 Pieņem mācību, Jeruzāleme, lai Mana dvēsele no tevis nenogriežas, lai Es tevi nedaru par tuksnesi, par zemi bez iedzīvotāja.
Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land 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 says the LORD of hosts, "They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Pass your hand again as a grape gatherer into 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 shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Look, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can't listen. Look, the word of the LORD has become a reproach to them. They have no 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.
Therefore I am full of the wrath of the LORD. I am weary with holding in. "Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him who 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.
Their houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land," says the LORD.
13 Jo visi ir mantas kārīgi, tā mazi kā lieli; tā pravietis kā priesteris, visi dzen viltību.
"For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
14 Un tie dziedina Manas tautas vainu kā par nieku, sacīdami: miers, miers! Kur tomēr miera nav.
They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, 'Peace, peace.' when 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.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I visit them, they shall be cast down," says 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 says the LORD, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, 'Where is the good way?' and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." But they said, "We will not walk in it."
17 Es arī esmu iecēlis sargus pār jums, klausāties uz trumetes skaņu. Bet tie saka: mēs negribam klausīties.
"I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet.'" But they said, "We will not listen."
18 Tāpēc klausāties, tautas, un ņem vērā, draudze, kas viņu starpā notiek.
"Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what will happen to 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, earth. 'Look, I will bring disaster on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected 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.
To what purpose comes there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing 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 says the LORD, 'Look, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish.'
22 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, tauta nāk no ziemeļa zemes, un liela tauta celsies no pasaules malām;
"Thus says the LORD, 'Look, a people comes from the north country. A great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts 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 spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, 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 report; our hands become feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
25 Neizejat laukā un nestaigājat pa ceļu, jo ienaidnieka zobens ir visapkārt par iztrūcināšanu.
Do not go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror, are on every side."
26 Ak, mana tauta, apjoz maisu un nometies pelnos, žēlojies kā par vienīgo dēlu, bēdājies gauži, jo postītājs nāk pār mums piepeši.
"Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes. Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us."
27 Es tevi esmu iecēlis par pārbaudītāju starp Maniem ļaudīm kā stipru pili, ka tev viņu ceļu būs atzīt un pārbaudīt.
"I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people; that you may know and try their way."
28 Tie visi ir tie lielākie atkāpēji un staigā viltībā, tie ir varš un dzelzs, tie visi ir samaitātāji.
"They are all grievous rebels, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
29 Plēšas ir sadegušas, no viņu uguns nāk tikai svins, kausētājs velti kausējis, jo sārņi nav atšķirti.
The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Tie top nosaukti par atmestu sudrabu, jo Tas Kungs tos ir atmetis.
Men will call them 'rejected silver,' because the LORD has rejected them."
