Jeremijas 1
1 Jeremijas vārdi, kas bija Hilķijas dēls, no tiem priesteriem Anatotā Benjamina zemē.
The word of God which came to Jeremias the [son] of Chelcias, of the priests, who lived in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2 Uz to Tā Kunga vārds notika Josijas, Amona dēla, Jūda ķēniņa dienās, viņa valdīšanas trīspadsmitā gadā.
[accordingly] as the word of God came to him in the days of Josias son of Amos king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 Tāpat uz viņu notika Jojaķima, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa dienās, kamēr beidzās Cedeķijas, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, vienpadsmitais gads, kad Jeruzālemes ļaudis tapa aizvesti piektā mēnesī.
And it was in the days of Joakim, son of Josias king of Juda, until the eleventh year of Sedekias king of Juda, [even] until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani un sacīja:
And the word of the Lord came to him, [saying],
5 Pirms Es tevi radīju mātes miesās, Es tevi esmu pazinis, un pirms tu iznāci no mātes miesām, Es tevi esmu svētījis; tautām par pravieti Es tevi esmu licis.
Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you; and before you came forth from the womb, I sanctified you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
6 Tad es sacīju: ak Kungs, Dievs, redzi, es neprotu runāt, jo es esmu jauns.
And I said, O Lord, you that are supreme Lord, behold, I know not [how] to speak, for I am a child.
7 Bet Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: nesaki, es esmu jauns; jo visur, kurp Es tevi sūtīšu, tev būs iet, un visu, ko Es tev pavēlēšu, tev būs runāt.
And the Lord said to me, Say not, I am a child: for you shall go to all to whoever I shall send you, and according to all [the words] that I shall command you, you shall speak.
8 Nebīsties no viņiem, jo Es esmu ar tevi un tevi izglābšu, saka Tas Kungs.
Be not afraid before them: for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
9 Un Tas Kungs izstiepa Savu roku un aizskāra manu muti, un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: redzi, Es lieku Savus vārdus tavā mutē.
And the Lord stretched forth his hand to me, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my words into your mouth.
10 Redzi, Es tevi šodien ieceļu pār tautām un pār valstīm, izraut un salauzīt un izdeldēt un izpostīt, tad uztaisīt un dēstīt.
Behold, I have appointed you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to rebuild, and to plant.
11 Un Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja: ko tu redzi, Jeremija? Un es sacīju: es redzu zizli (mandeļu koka zaru).
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, What see you? And I said, A rod of an almond tree.
12 Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: tu esi labi redzējis; jo Es būšu nomodā par Savu vārdu, ka Es to daru.
And the Lord said to me, You have well seen: for I have watched over my words to perform them.
13 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani otru reiz un sacīja: ko tu redzi? Un es sacīju: es redzu verdošu podu no ziemeļa puses.
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What see you? And I said, A caldron on the fire; and the face of it is toward the north.
14 Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: no ziemeļa puses ļaunums gāzīsies pār visiem zemes iedzīvotājiem.
And the Lord said to me, From the north shall flame forth evils upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 Jo redzi, Es saucu visas ķēniņu valstu ciltis no ziemeļa puses, saka Tas Kungs, un tie nāks un cels ikviens savu krēslu priekš Jeruzālemes vārtu durvīm un pret visiem viņas mūriem visapkārt un pret visām Jūda pilsētām.
For, behold, I call together all the kingdoms of the earth from the north, says the Lord; and they shall come, and shall set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls round about her, and against all the cities of Juda.
16 Un Es spriedīšu Savu sodību pret viņiem par visu viņu ļaunumu, ka tie Mani atstājuši un kvēpinājuši citiem dieviem un klanījušies priekš savu roku darba.
And I will speak to them in judgment, concerning all their iniquity, [forasmuch] as they have forsaken me, and sacrificed to strange gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 Tu tad apjoz savus gurnus un celies un runā uz tiem visu, ko Es tev pavēlēšu; neiztrūcinājies priekš viņiem, lai Es tevi neiztrūcināju viņu priekšā.
And do you gird up your loins, and stand up, and speak all [the words] that I shall command you: be not afraid of their face, neither be you alarmed before them; for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
18 Jo redzi, Es tevi šodien ceļu par stipru pilsētu un par dzelzs stabu un par vara mūri pret visu šo zemi, pret Jūda ķēniņiem, pret viņu lielkungiem, pret viņu priesteriem un pret tās zemes ļaudīm.
Behold, I have made you this day as a strong city, and as a brazen wall, strong [against] all the kings of Juda, and the princes thereof, and the people of the land.
19 Un tie karos pret tevi, bet nekā neiespēs pret tevi; jo Es esmu ar tevi, saka Tas Kungs, tevi izglābt.
And they shall fight against you; but they shall by no means prevail against you; because I am with you, to deliver you, says the Lord.
