Raudu Dziesmas 4
1 Kā zeltam spožums zudis un šķīstam zeltam jaukums, svētās vietas akmeņi izkaisīti visos ielu stūros!
How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most fine gold 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 are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, 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 sea-monsters draw out the breast, they nurse their young ones: the daughter of my people [is 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 tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, [and] no man breaketh [it] to them.
5 Kas gardumus ēda, nu pamirst pa ielām; kas purpurā uzaudzināti, tie nu apkampj mēslus.
They that fed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6 Un manas tautas meitas noziegums ir lielāks, nekā Sodomas grēki, kas piepeši tapa apgāzta, nevienam nepieliekot rokas.
For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed 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 Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing [was] of sapphire:
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.
Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
9 Zobena nokautie ir jo laimīgi nekā bada nokautie, jo šie pamirst kā nodurti, tādēļ ka nav zemes augļu.
[They that are] slain with the sword are better than [they that are] slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for [want 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 pitiful women have boiled 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 hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured her 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, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy would have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Bet tas noticis viņas praviešu grēku dēļ, viņas priesteru noziegumu dēļ, tie viņas vidū izlējuši taisno asinis.
For 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 have wandered [as] blind [men] in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not 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.
They cried to them, Depart ye; [it is] unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn [there].
16 Tā Kunga dusmība tos izkaisījusi, Viņš tos vairs neuzlūkos; tie priesterus nav cienījuši un vecus nav žēlojuši.
The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders.
17 Mūsu acis vēl īgst, skatīdamās pēc mūsu palīga, kas veltīgs, mēs gaidīt gaidām uz tautu, kas nevar izglābt.
As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation [that] could not save [us].
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, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
19 Mūsu dzinēji bijuši čaklāki nekā ērgļi apakš debess, tie mūs vajājuši pa kalniem, tuksnesī tie mums likuši valgus.
Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid 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 shall live among the heathen.
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, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through to thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself 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 thy iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thy iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will disclose thy sins.
