Raudu Dziesmas 4
1 Kā zeltam spožums zudis un šķīstam zeltam jaukums, svētās vietas akmeņi izkaisīti visos ielu stūros!
How the gold has become dim. How the most pure gold has changed. The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
2 Ciānas dārgie bērni, kas bija līdzīgi šķīstam zeltam, kā tie nu top turēti par māla traukiem, par podnieka rokas darbu!
The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, How they are regarded as clay jars, the work of the hands of the potter.
3 Pat zvēri dod krūti un zīdina savus bērnus; bet manas tautas meita palikusi nežēlīga, tā kā strausi tuksnesī.
Even the jackals offer the breast, they nurse their young ones, but the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4 Zidama bērna mēle līp pie zoda no tvīkšanas, bērniņi prasa maizes, bet neviena nav, kas tiem to lauž.
The nursing infant's tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth for thirst. The young children ask for bread, but no one gives to them.
5 Kas gardumus ēda, nu pamirst pa ielām; kas purpurā uzaudzināti, tie nu apkampj mēslus.
Those who ate delicacies are destitute in the streets. Those who were brought up in purple embrace ash heaps.
6 Un manas tautas meitas noziegums ir lielāks, nekā Sodomas grēki, kas piepeši tapa apgāzta, nevienam nepieliekot rokas.
For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in an instant, and no hands were laid on her.
7 Viņas lielkungi bija spožāki nekā sniegs un baltāki nekā piens, viņu ģīmis bija sārtāks nekā krelles, tie bija skaisti kā safīrs.
Her consecrated ones were purer than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies more ruddy than rubies, their appearance was like lapis lazuli.
8 Bet nu viņu ģīmis tumšāks nekā melnums, ka tos nepazīst uz ielām; un viņu āda līp pie viņu kauliem, - tā ir izkaltusi kā malka.
They appear darker than soot; they are not known in the streets. Their skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered and has become as dry as a stick.
9 Zobena nokautie ir jo laimīgi nekā bada nokautie, jo šie pamirst kā nodurti, tādēļ ka nav zemes augļu.
Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; those who waste away, pierced through, for lack of the fruits of the field.
10 Žēlīgu sievu rokas vārījušas savus bērnus, tie viņām bijuši par barību manas tautas meitas postā.
The hands of the compassionate women have cooked their own children; they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11 Tas Kungs izdarījis Savu bardzību, Viņš izgāzis Savas dusmības karstumu un Ciānā iededzinājis uguni, kas aprijis viņas pamatus.
The LORD has accomplished his wrath, he has poured out his fierce anger; he has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured its foundations.
12 To nebija ticējuši zemes ķēniņi, nedz kāds no pasaules iedzīvotājiem, ka pretinieki un ienaidnieki ieies pa Jeruzālemes vārtiem.
The kings of the earth did not believe, neither all the inhabitants of the world, that the adversary or the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Bet tas noticis viņas praviešu grēku dēļ, viņas priesteru noziegumu dēļ, tie viņas vidū izlējuši taisno asinis.
It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
14 Tie skraidīja šurp un turp kā akli pa ielām, sagānīti asinīm, tā ka nevarēja aizskart viņu drēbes.
They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, so that men can't touch their garments.
15 Un tiem sauca: atkāpjaties, jūs nešķīstie, atkāpjaties, atkāpjaties, neaizskariet nekā! Kad tie nu skrēja, maldījās, tad starp pagāniem sacīja: tiem vairs ilgāki nebūs mist.
"Go away." they cried to them, "Unclean. Away, away. Do not touch." When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, "They shall not live here anymore."
16 Tā Kunga dusmība tos izkaisījusi, Viņš tos vairs neuzlūkos; tie priesterus nav cienījuši un vecus nav žēlojuši.
The LORD himself has scattered them; he will no more regard them. They did not respect the priests, they did not favor the elders.
17 Mūsu acis vēl īgst, skatīdamās pēc mūsu palīga, kas veltīgs, mēs gaidīt gaidām uz tautu, kas nevar izglābt.
Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
18 Tie mūsu pēdas dzinuši, ka nevarējām staigāt pa savām ielām; mūsu gals ir tuvu, mūsu dienas ir pagalam, jo mūsu gals atnācis.
They hunt our steps, so that we can't go in our streets. Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end has come.
19 Mūsu dzinēji bijuši čaklāki nekā ērgļi apakš debess, tie mūs vajājuši pa kalniem, tuksnesī tie mums likuši valgus.
Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky. They chased us on the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
20 Tā Kunga svaidītais, uz ko mūsu dzīvība stāvēja, ir gūstīts viņu bedrē, par ko sacījām: apakš viņa ēnas dzīvosim starp pagāniem.
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits; of whom we said, "Under his shadow we can live among the nations."
21 Priecājies un līksmojies, Edoma meita, Uc zemes iedzīvotāja! Tomēr tas biķeris nāks pie tevis arīdzan, tu piedzersies un tapsi kaunā.
Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, that dwell in the land of Uz. The cup shall pass through to you also; you will get drunk, and shall make yourself naked.
22 Tavs noziegums ir deldēts, Ciānas meita, Viņš tevi vairs neliks aizvest. Bet tavu noziegumu, Edoma meita, Viņš piemeklēs, tavus grēkus Viņš atklās.
The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion; he will no more carry you away into captivity. He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom; he will uncover your sins.
