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.
“At that time,” says the LORD, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 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 spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshipped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
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.
Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the LORD of Armies.
4 Un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs: kad krīt, vai atkal neceļas: kad nogriežas, vai atkal negriežas atpakaļ?
“Moreover you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: “‘Do men fall, and not rise up again? Does one turn away, and not return?
5 Kāpēc tad šie Jeruzālemes ļaudis atkāpjas bez mitēšanās atkāpdamies? Tie stipri turas pie viltus un liedzās atgriezties.
Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding? They cling to deceit. They refuse to return.
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 listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the 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.
Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know the LORD’s law.
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 do you say, “We are wise, and the LORD’s law is with us”? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
9 Gudrie top apkaunoti, iztrūcināti un sagūstīti; redzi, Tā Kunga vārdu tie ir atmetuši, kāda gudrība tad tiem ir?
The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected the LORD’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?
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.
Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to those who will possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
11 Un tie dziedina Manas tautas vainu kā par nieku un saka: miers! Miers! Kur tomēr miera nav.
They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
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.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall amongst those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, 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 will utterly consume them, says the LORD. No grapes will be on the vine, no figs on the fig tree, and the leaf will fade. The things that I have given them will pass away from 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.
“Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves! Let’s enter into the fortified cities, and let’s be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 Gaida mieru, bet nav labuma, dziedināšanas laiku, bet redzi, izbailes.
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
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 his horses is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.”
17 Jo redzi, Es sūtu jūsu starpā čūskas un odzes, pret ko nepalīdz vārdošana, - tās jūs kodīs, saka Tas Kungs!
“For, behold, I will send serpents, adders amongst you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says the LORD.
18 Kas mani iepriecinās skumjās! Mana sirds man gurst.
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
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?
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: “Isn’t the LORD in Zion? Isn’t her King in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign idols?”
20 Pļauja ir pagājusi, augļu laiks pagalam, bet mēs neesam atpestīti.
“The harvest is past. The summer has ended, and we are not saved.”
21 Es esmu satriekts savas tautas posta dēļ, es esmu noskumis, izbailes mani sagrābušas.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold of me.
22 Vai tad zāļu nav Gileādā? Vai tur nav ārsta? Kāpēc tad manas tautas sērga nav dziedināta?
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
