< Raudu Dziesmas 1 >
1 Ak cik vientule palikusi tā pilsēta, kas bija ļaužu pilna! Tā ir kā atraitne, kas bija liela starp tautām, tā valdniece starp valstīm ir palikusi par kalponi.
How desolate sits the city of Jerusalem, once filled with people! She has become like a widow, she who was once great among the nations. The queen of all the world has become a slave-laborer.
2 Viņa raudāt raud naktīm, un viņas asaras tek pār viņas vaigu; iepriecinātāja tai nav starp visiem viņas mīļotājiem; visi viņas draugi turas viltīgi pret viņu, tie viņai palikuši par ienaidniekiem.
She cries bitterly through the night, tears rolling down her cheeks. Despite all her many lovers, no one comes to comfort her. Betrayed by all her friends, they are now her enemies.
3 Jūda cilts gājusi svešumā aiz bēdām un aiz grūtas kalpošanas, tā dzīvo starp pagāniem, neatrod dusas; visi viņas vajātāji to panākuši šaurumos.
Judah has been dragged off into captivity, suffering miserably under brutal slavery; she lives among the nations but has no place of her own where she can rest. Those chasing her have brought her down and she cannot escape.
4 Ciānas ceļi bēdājās, ka neviens nenāk svētkos; visi viņas vārti ir postīti; viņas priesteri nopūšas, viņas jaunavas noskumušas, un viņai ir rūgtas bēdas.
Even the roads to Zion are in mourning because no one travels on them to go to the religious festivals. All her gates are empty. Her priests groan in sadness. Her girls are suffering. She herself is in bitter distress.
5 Viņas pretiniekiem tikusi virsroka, viņas ienaidniekiem klājās labi; jo Tas Kungs viņu apbēdinājis viņas lielās pārkāpšanas dēļ; viņas bērniņi iet cietumā pretinieka priekšā.
Those who hated her now control her; her enemies enjoy life, because the Lord has made her suffer due to all her sins of rebellion. Her children have been taken away as prisoners of the enemy.
6 No Ciānas meitas nozudis viss viņas jaukums; viņas lielkungi ir kā stirnas, kas neatrod ganību un iet bez spēka vajātāja priekšā.
All the glory has left the Daughter of Zion. Her leaders are like deer that can't find any grass to eat. They don't even have the strength to run away when the hunter comes after them!
7 Jeruzāleme savās bēdu- un klaidu- dienās piemin visu savu jaukumu, kas viņai bijis pagājušā laikā; kad nu viņas ļaudis krīt caur pretinieku roku, un palīga viņai nav, pretinieki viņai skatās virsū un apsmej viņas svētās dienas.
As she wanders around in her misery, Jerusalem thinks back to all the wonderful things she once had in the old days. When her enemies conquered her people, she didn't receive any help. Her enemies gloated over her, and laughed at her downfall.
8 Jeruzāleme ļoti grēkojusi, tāpēc viņa tapusi kā sārņaina sieva; visi, kas viņu cienīja, viņu tur negodā, tāpēc ka redz viņas kaunu; un viņa vaid un ir griezusies atpakaļ.
Jerusalem sinned terribly which is why she is now treated as someone unclean. Everyone who used to honor her now despise her, because they've seen her naked and ashamed. She herself groans as she turns away.
9 Viņas sārņi līp pie viņas vīlēm; tā nav domājusi uz savu galu, tāpēc viņa brīnišķi ir nogāzta, un iepriecinātāja tai nav; uzlūko, Kungs, manas bēdas, jo ienaidnieks lielās!
Her uncleanness contaminates her skirts. She didn't think about what would happen. Her fall was a shock, and no one was there to comfort her. “Please, Lord, see how much I'm suffering, because the enemy has won!” she says.
10 Pretinieks savu roku ir izstiepis pie visiem viņas dārgumiem; jo viņai bija jāredz, kā pagāni gāja tai svētā vietā, par kuriem tu esi pavēlējis, ka tiem nebūs nākt tavā draudzē.
The invader has stolen all her treasures. She even had to watch as heathen nations went into her sanctuary, people you had forbidden to enter.
11 Visi viņas ļaudis nopūšās, meklēdami maizes; tie savus dārgumus izdevuši par barību, dvēseli atspirdzināt; redzi, Kungs, un ņem vērā, kā es esmu nākusi negodā.
All her people groan, looking for bread. They have spent what they value the most to buy food so they can stay alive. “Please, Lord, look and see what's happening to me,” she says. “It's as if I'm worthless!
12 Vai jūs to neievērojat visi, kas pa ceļu staigājiet? Skatāties un raugiet, vai kādas sāpes ir kā manas sāpes, kas man uznākušas, ar ko Tas Kungs mani apbēdinājis Savas karstās bardzības dienā.
Don't you care anything about it, all you people passing by? Take a look and see! Is there any suffering as bad as mine, punished by the Lord when he became angry?
13 No augšienes Viņš uguni metis manos kaulos, un tas tos pārspējis. Viņš manām kājām izpletis tīklu un man licis atpakaļ griezties, Viņš mani postījis un darījis sērdzīgu(vāju) cauru dienu.
He sent down fire from heaven that destroyed my bones. He spread out a net to catch my feet, tripping me over. He abandoned me, leaving me sick all day long.
14 Manu grēku jūgs ir sasiets caur Viņa roku, tie ir sapinušies un nākuši pār manu kaklu; Viņš manu spēku ir salauzis; Tas Kungs mani nodevis tādiem rokā, kam nevaru pretī turēties.
He took my rebellious sins and twisted them together into a yoke that he tied to my neck. He took away all my strength, and handed me over defenseless to my enemies.
15 Tas Kungs aizrāvis visus manus varenos manā vidū; Viņš ir izsaucis sapulci pār mani, satriekt manus jaunekļus. Tas Kungs vīna spaidu minis tai jaunavai, Jūda meitai.
The Lord brushed aside all my strong soldiers defending me. He called up an army to attack me, to crush my young men. The Lord has trampled down the virgin Daughter of Judah like grapes in a winepress.
16 Par to mana acs raud, manas acis asaru pilnas, tāpēc ka iepriecinātājs ir tālu no manis, kas varētu atspirdzināt manu dvēseli; mani bērni ir postīti, jo ienaidnieks ir pārvarējis.
This is why I'm weeping, tears flowing from my eyes, because there's is no one here to comfort me, no one to make me feel better. There's nothing left for my children because the enemy has conquered us.”
17 Ciāna izpleš savas rokas, iepriecinātāja tai nav; jo Tas Kungs ir sasaucis pret Jēkabu viņa spaidītājus visapkārt; Jeruzāleme ir kā sārņaina sieva viņu vidū.
Zion holds out her hands in distress, but there's no one to comfort her. The Lord issued orders against Jacob, and his neighbors became his enemies. Jerusalem is to them something disgusting.
18 Tas Kungs ir taisns, jo es Viņa mutei(baušļiem) esmu pretī turējusies. Klausiet jel, visas tautas, un redziet manas sāpes; manas jaunavas un mani jaunekļi ir gājuši cietumā.
“The Lord has done what's right, because I rebelled against his instructions. Listen, everyone everywhere; look at what I'm suffering. My young women and young men have been taken off into captivity.
19 Es piesaucu savus mīļotājus, bet tie mani vīluši; mani priesteri un vecaji pilsētā nonīkuši, kad meklēja sev barības, atspirdzināt savu dvēseli.
I called out for help to my lovers, but they betrayed me. My priests and elders starved to death in the city as they tried to find food to keep themselves alive.
20 Redzi, Kungs, kā man ir bail; manas iekšas rūgst, mana sirds lec iekš manis, jo es esmu gauži turējusies pretī; ārā zobens man laupījis bērnus un iekšā nāve.
Can't you see, Lord, how upset I am? inside I am in turmoil; my heart is breaking because I've been so rebellious. Outside, the sword kills those I love; inside, it's like I'm living in the house of death.
21 Tie gan dzird mani vaidam, bet iepriecinātāja nav; visi mani ienaidnieki dzird manu nelaimi un priecājās, ka Tu tā esi darījis; kad Tu to dienu atvedīsi, ko esi sludinājis, tad tie būs tā kā es.
People hear me groaning, but no one comes to comfort me. All my enemies have heard about the bad things that have happened to me, and they're delighted that it was you who did it. Please bring about the day of judgment that you promised so they can end up like me.
22 Lai nāk visa viņu bezdievība Tavā priekšā, un dari tiem, kā Tu man esi darījis visu manu pārkāpumu dēļ, jo manu nopūtu ir daudz, un mana sirds ir nogurusi.
May you see all the evil things they've done! Treat them the same way as you've treated me as a result of all my rebellious sins, for I'm groaning all the time, and I'm sick at heart.”
