Jeremijas 8
1 Tanī laikā, saka Tas Kungs, Jūda ķēniņu kaulus un viņu lielkungu kaulus un viņu priesteru kaulus un praviešu kaulus un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāju kaulus izmetīs no viņu kapiem.
When that happens, declares the Lord, the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of the officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be taken out of their graves.
2 Un izmētās pret sauli un pret mēnesi un pret visu debess pulku, ko tie mīlējuši un kam tie kalpojuši un kam tie dzinušies pakaļ un ko tie meklējuši un ko tie pielūguši. Ne tos sakrās, ne tos apraks, tie būs par mēsliem zemes virsū.
They will lie exposed to the sun and moon, and to all the stars which they loved, which they served, which they followed, which they consulted, and which they worshiped. Their bones will not be collected or reburied, but will be left like manure lying on the ground.
3 Un nāvi vēlēsies dzīvības vietā visi atlikušie, kas no šās niknās cilts atliks visās malās, kurp Es tos atlikušos būšu aizdzinis, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
Those who are left of this evil family will prefer to die rather than live in every place I've scattered them, declares the Lord Almighty.
4 Un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs: kad krīt, vai atkal neceļas: kad nogriežas, vai atkal negriežas atpakaļ?
Tell them this is what the Lord says: When people fall down, don't they get up again? When people go the wrong way, don't they turn around?
5 Kāpēc tad šie Jeruzālemes ļaudis atkāpjas bez mitēšanās atkāpdamies? Tie stipri turas pie viltus un liedzās atgriezties.
So why have these people of Jerusalem gone the wrong way? Why do they refuse to turn around from their repeated betrayals, holding on to all their lies?
6 Es esmu vērā ņēmis un dzirdējis: tie runā, kas nepareizi; neviena nav, kam būtu žēl savas blēdības, kas sacītu: ko esmu darījis? Visi atkāpjas, skriedami kā traks ērzelis kas karā.
I've heard exactly what they said, but they don't tell the truth. No one is sorry for doing wrong, asking, “What have I done?” Everyone chooses their own way, like a horse charging into battle.
7 Stārķis apakš debess zin savus laikus, un ūbele un dzērve un bezdelīga ņem vērā savu atnākšanas laiku, bet mani ļaudis neatzīst Tā Kunga tiesu.
Even storks high in the sky know when it's time to migrate. Turtledoves, swifts, and songbirds know when to fly away at the right time of the year. But my people don't know the laws of the Lord.
8 Kā tad jūs sakāt: mēs esam gudri, un Tā Kunga bauslība ir pie mums? Tiešām, redzi, rakstu mācītāju viltīgie raksti to pārvērtuši par meliem.
How on earth can you say, “We're wise, and we have the Law of the Lord?” Can't you see that the writings of your teachers of the Law have turned it into lies?
9 Gudrie top apkaunoti, iztrūcināti un sagūstīti; redzi, Tā Kunga vārdu tie ir atmetuši, kāda gudrība tad tiem ir?
The wise will be shown to be foolish; they will be shocked at being caught out. Can't you see that they've rejected what the Lord says—so do they have any wisdom at all?
10 Tādēļ Es viņu sievas došu citiem, viņu tīrumus svešiem mantiniekiem; jo mazi un lieli, visi kāri pēc mantas; pravietis un priesteris, abi dzen viltību.
I'm going to give their wives to others, and their fields to different owners, since everyone cheats because they're greedy, poor and rich alike. Even prophets and priests—they are all dishonest liars!
11 Un tie dziedina Manas tautas vainu kā par nieku un saka: miers! Miers! Kur tomēr miera nav.
They give my wounded people first aid, but they don't really care about them. They tell them, “Don't worry! We have peace!” even as war approaches.
12 Tie ir tapuši kaunā, tāpēc ka darījuši negantību, bet tie nemaz nekaunas un kauna neprot; tādēļ tie kritīs starp tiem kritušiem, savas piemeklēšanas laikā tie gāzīsies pie zemes, saka Tas Kungs.
Are they ashamed of the disgusting things they did? No, they're not ashamed at all, they can't even blush. So they will fall just like the others, when I punish them; they will drop down dead, says the Lord.
13 Es tos rautin aizraušu, saka Tas Kungs, ka ķekari nepaliks pie vīna koka nedz vīģes pie vīģes koka, ir lapas nokritīs, un Es tiem dodu, kas pār tiem nāks.
I'm going to destroy them, declares the Lord. There will be no grapes left on the vines, no figs on the trees—even the leaves will wither. They will lose whatever I gave them.
14 Ko tad kavējamies? Pulcējaties un iesim stiprās pilsētās un meklēsim tur galu! Jo Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums nolicis galu un mūs dzirdinājis ar žulti, tāpēc ka esam apgrēkojušies pret To Kungu.
The people say, “Why are we sitting around here? Let's get together and run to the fortified towns. We can die there, for the Lord our God is killing us by giving us poisoned water to drink, because we sinned against him.
15 Gaida mieru, bet nav labuma, dziedināšanas laiku, bet redzi, izbailes.
We hoped for peace, but instead nothing good has come; we hoped for a time of healing, but instead there was only sudden terror.”
16 No Dana jau dzirdama viņa zirgu šņākšana; visa zeme dreb no viņa ērzeļu zviegšanas skaņas; tie nāk un noēd zemi ar viņas pilnumu, pilsētas un kas tur dzīvo.
The snorting of enemy horses can be heard from Dan. The whole country shakes in fear at the sound of the neighing of these strong stallions, They have come to destroy the country and everything in it; Jerusalem and everyone who lives there.
17 Jo redzi, Es sūtu jūsu starpā čūskas un odzes, pret ko nepalīdz vārdošana, - tās jūs kodīs, saka Tas Kungs!
Watch out! I'm sending snakes among you, vipers that can't be charmed. They will come and bite you, declares the Lord.
18 Kas mani iepriecinās skumjās! Mana sirds man gurst.
Nothing comforts me in my suffering; I feel terrible inside.
19 Redzi, Manas tautas kliegšanas balss skan no tālas zemes: vai tad Tas Kungs vairs nav Ciānā? Vai viņas ķēniņš tur nav? Kāpēc tie Mani apkaitinājuši ar saviem dievekļiem, ar svešām nelietībām?
Listen to my people crying out for help from a distant land, asking “Isn't the Lord present in Zion anymore? Has her King left?” Why have they made me angry, worshiping their carved images and their useless foreign idols?
20 Pļauja ir pagājusi, augļu laiks pagalam, bet mēs neesam atpestīti.
“The harvest is over, the summer is finished, but we're not saved,” say the people.
21 Es esmu satriekts savas tautas posta dēļ, es esmu noskumis, izbailes mani sagrābušas.
I'm crushed by the injuries suffered by my people; I mourn for them. I'm horrified at what's happened!
22 Vai tad zāļu nav Gileādā? Vai tur nav ārsta? Kāpēc tad manas tautas sērga nav dziedināta?
Isn't there any ointment from Gilead to help heal them? Aren't there any doctors there? So why haven't my people been healed from their wounds?
