< Jeremijas 7 >
1 Šis ir tas vārds, kas notika uz Jeremiju no Tā Kunga, kas sacīja:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
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.
“Stand at the gate of Yahweh's house and proclaim this word! Say, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, all you of Judah, you who enter these gates to worship Yahweh.
3 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: dariet taisnus savus ceļus un savus darbus, tad es jums likšu dzīvot šinī vietā.
Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Make your ways and practices good, and I will let you continue to live in this place.
4 Nepaļaujaties uz melu vārdiem, kad saka: šis ir Tā Kunga nams, Tā Kunga nams, Tā Kunga nams!
Do not entrust yourself to deceitful words and say, “Temple of Yahweh! Temple of Yahweh! Temple of Yahweh!”
5 Bet ja patiesi darīsiet labus savus ceļus un savus darbus un nesīsiet tikuši(taisnīgu) tiesu cits citam,
For if you actually make your ways and practices good; if you completely execute justice between a man and his neighbor—
6 Ja neapbēdināsiet svešinieku, bāriņu un atraitni un neizliesiet nenoziedzīgas asinis šinī vietā un nedzīsities pakaļ svešiem dieviem, sev pašiem par postu,
if you do not exploit the one staying in the land, the orphan, or the widow and do not pour out innocent blood in this place, and do not walk after other gods to your own harm—
7 Tad Es jums likšu dzīvot šai vietā, tai zemē, ko Es esmu devis jūsu tēviem, mūžīgi mūžam.
then I will let you stay in this place, in the land that I gave to your ancestors from ancient times and forever.
8 Redzi, jūs paļaujaties uz melu vārdiem, kas nekam nelīdz.
Behold! You are trusting in deceitful words that do not help you.
9 Vai tad jums bija zagt, nokaut un laulību pārkāpt un nepatiesi zvērēt un Baālam kvēpināt un dzīties pakaļ citiem dieviem, ko nepazīstat,
Do you steal, kill, and commit adultery? Do you swear deceitfully and offer incense to Baal and walk after other gods whom you have not known?
10 Un tad nākt un stāties Manā priekšā šinī namā, kas nosaukts pēc Mana Vārda, un sacīt: mēs esam glābti, šo negantību darīt?
Then do you come and stand before me in this house that is called by my name and say, “We are saved,” so you can do all of these abominations?
11 Vai tad šis nams, kas nosaukts pēc Mana Vārda, ir slepkavu bedre jūsu acīs? Redzi, Es to gan esmu redzējis, saka Tas Kungs.
Is this house, which carries my name, a den of bandits in your eyes? But behold, I have seen it—this is Yahweh's declaration.'
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.
'So go to my place that was in Shiloh, where I allowed my name to stay there in the beginning, and look at what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
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,
So now, on account of your doing all of these practices—this is Yahweh's declaration—I spoke to you time and time again, but you did not listen. I summoned you, but you did not answer.
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, what I did to Shiloh, I will also do to this house that is called by my name, the house in which you have trusted, 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.
For I will send you out from before me just as I had sent out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.'
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.
As for you, Jeremiah, do not pray for this people, and do not lift up a lamenting wail or say a prayer on their behalf, and do not petition me, for I will not listen to you.
17 Vai tu neredzi, ko tie dara Jūda pilsētās un Jeruzālemes ielās?
Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
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 are gathering wood and the fathers kindling the fire! The women are kneading dough to make cakes for the queen of the heavens and pour out drink offerings for other gods so that they will provoke me.
19 Bet vai tad tie Mani apkaitina? saka Tas Kungs. Vai tie to (nedara) sev pašiem par kaunu?
Are they truly provoking me?—this is Yahweh's declaration—is it not themselves whom they are provoking, so that shame is on them?
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.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'See, my anger and wrath will gush out onto this place, on both man and beast, on the tree in the fields and the fruit on the ground. It will burn and never be extinguished.'
21 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: liekat savus dedzināmos upurus klāt pie saviem kaujamiem upuriem un ēdat gaļu.
Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel says this, 'Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and the meat from them.
22 Jo jūsu tēviem, kad Es tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes, Es neesmu ne teicis ne pavēlējis par dedzināmiem upuriem nedz kaujamiem upuriem.
For when I brought your ancestors out from the land of Egypt, I did not require anything from them. I gave them no command about matters of burnt offerings and sacrifices.
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.
I only gave them this command, “Listen to my voice, and I will be your God and you will be my people. So walk in all the ways that I am commanding you, so that it may go well with 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 they did not listen or pay attention. They lived by their own stubborn plans of their wicked hearts, so they went backwards, not forward.
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.
Ever since the day when your ancestors went out from the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent every one of my servants, my prophets, to you. I persisted in sending them.
26 Bet tie Mani nav klausījuši, nedz savas ausis atgriezuši, bet bijuši stūrgalvīgi, niknāki turēdamies nekā viņu tēvi.
But they did not listen to me. They paid no attention. Instead, they hardened their necks. They were more wicked than their ancestors.'
27 Tu gan visus šos vārdus uz viņiem runāsi, bet tie tevi neklausīs, tu tos gan aicināsi, bet tie neatbildēs.
So proclaim all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. Proclaim these things to them, but they will not answer you.
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: This is a nation that does not listen to the voice of Yahweh its God and does not receive discipline. Truth is destroyed and cut off from their mouths.
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.
Cut off your hair and shave yourself, and throw away your hair. Sing a funeral song over the open places. For Yahweh has rejected and abandoned this generation in his rage.
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;
For the sons of Judah have done evil in my eye—this is Yahweh's declaration—they have set their detestable things in the house that is called by my name, in order to defile it.
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.
Then they built the high place of Topheth that is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. They did this to burn their sons and daughters in fire—something that I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.
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 see, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when it will no longer be called Topheth or Valley of Ben Hinnom. It will be the Valley of Slaughter; they will bury bodies in Topheth until there is no room left.
33 Un šo ļaužu miroņi būs par barību putniem apakš debess un zvēriem virs zemes, un neviens tos neaizdzīs.
The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the skies and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten 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.
I will put an end to the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, for the land will become a desolation.”
