< Jeremijas 7 >
1 Šis ir tas vārds, kas notika uz Jeremiju no Tā Kunga, kas sacīja:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
2 Stājies Tā Kunga nama vārtos un sludini tur šo vārdu un saki: klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, visi no Jūda, kas caur šiem vārtiem ieejat, To Kungu pielūgt.
“Go to the entrance of my temple, and give this message to the people: You people of Judah who worship here, listen to this message from Yahweh!
3 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: dariet taisnus savus ceļus un savus darbus, tad es jums likšu dzīvot šinī vietā.
The Commander of the armies of angels says to you, ['If you] stop doing evil things and start doing what is right, I will allow you to remain living in your land.'
4 Nepaļaujaties uz melu vārdiem, kad saka: šis ir Tā Kunga nams, Tā Kunga nams, Tā Kunga nams!
[But some people] are repeatedly saying to you, ‘The temple of Yahweh is here, [so we will be safe]; [he will not allow us and the temple to be destroyed].’ But do not pay attention to what they say, because they are deceiving you.
5 Bet ja patiesi darīsiet labus savus ceļus un savus darbus un nesīsiet tikuši(taisnīgu) tiesu cits citam,
[I will act mercifully to you only] if you change your behavior and stop doing evil things, and if you [start to] act fairly/justly toward others,
6 Ja neapbēdināsiet svešinieku, bāriņu un atraitni un neizliesiet nenoziedzīgas asinis šinī vietā un nedzīsities pakaļ svešiem dieviem, sev pašiem par postu,
and if you stop oppressing foreigners [who live in your country], and orphans and widows, and if you stop murdering people, and if you stop worshiping (foreign gods/idols). However, if you continue to do those things, you will be destroyed.
7 Tad Es jums likšu dzīvot šai vietā, tai zemē, ko Es esmu devis jūsu tēviem, mūžīgi mūžam.
If you do what I have told you, I will allow you to stay in this land that I promised to your ancestors that it would belong to them [and their descendants] forever.
8 Redzi, jūs paļaujaties uz melu vārdiem, kas nekam nelīdz.
[People are repeatedly] telling you, [‘The temple is here, so we are safe]’, and you are trusting/believing [that what they are saying is true], but it is a lie. [Those people are deceiving you, and what they say is] worthless.
9 Vai tad jums bija zagt, nokaut un laulību pārkāpt un nepatiesi zvērēt un Baālam kvēpināt un dzīties pakaļ citiem dieviem, ko nepazīstat,
You think that [RHQ] you can steal things, murder people, commit adultery, tell lies in court, and worship Baal and all those other gods that you did not know about previously,
10 Un tad nākt un stāties Manā priekšā šinī namā, kas nosaukts pēc Mana Vārda, un sacīt: mēs esam glābti, šo negantību darīt?
and then come here and stand in front of this temple, which is my temple, and say ‘Nothing bad will happen to us!’, while you continue to do all those abominable things.
11 Vai tad šis nams, kas nosaukts pēc Mana Vārda, ir slepkavu bedre jūsu acīs? Redzi, Es to gan esmu redzējis, saka Tas Kungs.
Do you realize that you are causing this temple, which is my temple, to become like [MET] a den where bandits hide [RHQ]? Do you not know that I see [all the evil things that you people do there]?
12 Jo ejat jel uz Manu vietu, kas bija Šīlo, kur Es Savam vārdam papriekš liku mājot, un lūkojiet, ko Es tur esmu darījis Savu Israēla ļaužu ļaunuma dēļ.
[Long ago] I put my Sacred Tent at Shiloh [city], to be a place where people would worship me [MTY]. Think about how I [destroyed it] because my people, the Israeli people, did [many] wicked things there.
13 Un nu tādēļ ka jūs visus šos darbus darāt, saka Tas Kungs, un Es uz jums tikuši(nemitīgi) esmu runājis, bet jūs neesat klausījuši, Es jūs esmu aicinājis, bet jūs neesat atbildējuši,
And while you were continually doing those wicked things, I told you about it many times, but you refused to listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer [me].
14 Tad Es šim namam, kas pēc Mana Vārda nosaukts, uz ko jūs paļaujaties, un pie šās vietas, ko Es jums un jūsu tēviem esmu devis, tāpat darīšu, kā esmu darījis Šīlo.
Therefore, just like I destroyed Shiloh, I will [now] destroy this temple that was built for people to worship me [MTY], this temple that you trust in, that is in this place that I gave to you and your ancestors.
15 Un Es jūs atmetīšu no Sava vaiga, tā kā esmu atmetis visus jūsu brāļus un visu Efraīma dzimumu.
And I will expel you from this land and send you [to other countries] far away from me, just like I did to your relatives, the people of Israel.”
16 Tu tad nelūdz priekš šiem ļaudīm un nenes Manā priekšā par viņiem ne piesaukšanu ne lūgšanu, un neaizlūdz pie Manis, jo Es tevi neklausīšu.
[Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], do not pray for these people [any longer]. Do not cry for them or plead for [me to help] them, because I will not pay any attention to you.
17 Vai tu neredzi, ko tie dara Jūda pilsētās un Jeruzālemes ielās?
Do you see [the wicked things] that they are doing in the streets of Jerusalem and in the [other] towns in Judah?
18 Bērni salasa malku, un tēvi kurina uguni, un sievas mīca mīklu un taisa raušus debess ķēniņienei un upurē dzeramus upurus citiem dieviem, Mani kaitināt.
The children gather firewood and their fathers use it to make fires [on the altars to burn sacrifices]. The women knead/make dough to make cakes to offer to [their goddess Astarte who is called] the Queen of Heaven. And [on their altars] they pour out offerings of wine to [their] other idols. All of those things cause me to become extremely angry!
19 Bet vai tad tie Mani apkaitina? saka Tas Kungs. Vai tie to (nedara) sev pašiem par kaunu?
But I am not [RHQ] the one whom they are hurting; they are really [RHQ] hurting themselves [by doing these things for which they should be] very ashamed!”
20 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi, Mana dusmība un Mana bardzība izgāzīsies pār šo vietu, pār cilvēkiem un lopiem un meža kokiem un zemes augļiem un degs un neizdzisīs.
So Yahweh the Lord says this: “Because I am extremely angry with [what happens at] this place, I will punish these people severely [MTY]; my being very angry will be [like] [MET] a fire that will not be extinguished, and I will destroy the people, [their] animals, [their] fruit trees, and [their] crops.”
21 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: liekat savus dedzināmos upurus klāt pie saviem kaujamiem upuriem un ēdat gaļu.
Therefore, this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Take away [IRO] your offerings that you bring to burn completely on your altars and your [other] sacrifices; [don’t give them to me]; eat them [yourselves]!
22 Jo jūsu tēviem, kad Es tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes, Es neesmu ne teicis ne pavēlējis par dedzināmiem upuriem nedz kaujamiem upuriem.
When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not offerings to be completely burned on the altar or [other] sacrifices that I wanted from them.
23 Bet šo vārdu Es tiem esmu pavēlējis un sacījis: klausiet Manu balsi, tad Es jums būšu par Dievu un jūs Man būsiet par ļaudīm, un staigājiet pa visiem tiem ceļiem, ko Es jums pavēlēšu, lai jums labi klājās.
What I told them was, ‘Obey me; [if you do that], I will be your God and you will be my people. If you do the things that I want you to do, everything will go well for you.’
24 Bet tie nav klausījuši nedz savas ausis atgriezuši, bet staigājuši pēc savas ļaunās sirds padoma un prāta, un Man ir pagriezuši muguru un ne vaigu.
But your ancestors would not pay any attention [DOU] to me. They continued to do [the evil things] that they wanted to do, everything that in their stubborn inner beings they desired to do. Instead of coming closer to me, they went further away from me.
25 No tās dienas, kad jūsu tēvi izgājuši no Ēģiptes zemes līdz šai dienai, Es vienā sūtīšanā pie jums esmu sūtījis visus Savus kalpus, tos praviešus.
From the day that your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my prophets to you.
26 Bet tie Mani nav klausījuši, nedz savas ausis atgriezuši, bet bijuši stūrgalvīgi, niknāki turēdamies nekā viņu tēvi.
But you, [my people], have not listened to me or paid attention to what I said; you have been stubborn, and you have done more sinful things than your ancestors did.”
27 Tu gan visus šos vārdus uz viņiem runāsi, bet tie tevi neklausīs, tu tos gan aicināsi, bet tie neatbildēs.
[Then Yahweh said to me], “When you tell all this to my people, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
28 Tāpēc saki uz tiem: šie ir tie ļaudis, kas Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi neklausa un mācību nepieņem. Patiesība bojā gājusi un iznīkusi no viņu mutes.
Say to them, ‘You people [of Judah] have not obeyed Yahweh, your God; you have not accepted it when he tried to correct you. No one among you is truthful; you do not say anything that is true; [you speak only lies].’
29 Nocērp savas galvas greznumu un met to nost, un raudi gauži uz kailiem kalniem, jo Tas Kungs atmetis un atstājis šo Savas dusmības cilti.
[So, tell them to] cut off their hair [to show that they are mourning]; tell them to go up into the hills and sing a sad funeral song, because I have completely rejected [DOU] this generation [of people] who have made me angry.”
30 Jo Jūda bērni ir darījuši, kas ļauns Manās acīs, saka Tas Kungs. Tie savus negantos elkus likuši tai namā, kas nosaukts pēc Mana Vārda, to sagānīdami;
Yahweh says this: “The people of Judah have done many things that I say are evil. They have set up their disgusting idols in my temple, causing it to become an unacceptable [place to worship me].
31 Un ir uzcēluši Tovetes altārus Ben-Inoma ielejā, sadedzināt savus dēlus un savas meitas ar uguni, ko Es neesmu pavēlējis, un kas nav nācis Manā sirdī.
They have built altars at Topheth in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and they sacrifice their sons and daughters on those altars. I never commanded them to do that; I never even thought that anyone would do that.
32 Tādēļ redzi, nāks dienas, saka Tas Kungs, ka to vairs nesauks par Toveti un Ben-Inoma ieleju, bet par slepkavu ieleju, un Tovetē apbedīs, jo citur vietas nebūs.
So they should beware! There will be a time when that place will no longer be called Topheth or the Hinnom Valley; instead, it will be called the Valley of Slaughter. There will be a huge number of people who will be buried there, with the result that there will be no space to bury more bodies.
33 Un šo ļaužu miroņi būs par barību putniem apakš debess un zvēriem virs zemes, un neviens tos neaizdzīs.
The corpses of my people that are [not buried and are] left on the ground will be eaten by vultures and wild animals, and there will be no one to shoo/chase them away.
34 Un Es darīšu, ka Jūda pilsētās un Jeruzālemes ielās mitēsies prieka balss un līksmības balss, brūtgāna balss un brūtes balss; jo tā zeme būs postā.
There will be no one singing and laughing any more in the streets of Jerusalem; there will be no more joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides in Judah, because the land will be completely destroyed.”
