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.
Jerusalem was [once] full of people, but now it is deserted. [Once] it was honored by people all over the world, but now it is [grieving/abandoned] like [SIM] a widow. [Once] it was [honored like] [MET] a princess [is honored] among the nations, but now [we who live here] have become slaves.
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.
We [PRS] weep bitterly [all] night long, with tears flowing down our cheeks. Among [the people in] all [the nations] that loved Jerusalem there are none that comfort us [now]. All [the rulers of those nations that were previously] our allies have betrayed us, and they are all now enemies [of the people of Jerusalem].
3 Jūda cilts gājusi svešumā aiz bēdām un aiz grūtas kalpošanas, tā dzīvo starp pagāniem, neatrod dusas; visi viņas vajātāji to panākuši šaurumos.
[The people of] Judah have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries) and caused to suffer greatly as slaves. They live in [other] nations where they do not have peace/safety. Their enemies seized them, and there was no way for them to 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.
The roads to Zion [Hill] are empty [PRS] because no one comes [here] to [celebrate] the sacred festivals. The city gates are deserted, and the priests groan. The young women [of Jerusalem] cry [because] they are suffering greatly.
5 Viņas pretiniekiem tikusi virsroka, viņas ienaidniekiem klājās labi; jo Tas Kungs viņu apbēdinājis viņas lielās pārkāpšanas dēļ; viņas bērniņi iet cietumā pretinieka priekšā.
Our enemies have conquered the city, and [now] they prosper. Yahweh has punished [the people of] Jerusalem because of all the sins that they have committed. The children [of Jerusalem] have been captured and taken [to other countries].
6 No Ciānas meitas nozudis viss viņas jaukums; viņas lielkungi ir kā stirnas, kas neatrod ganību un iet bez spēka vajātāja priekšā.
Jerusalem was a beautiful city, but it is not beautiful now. The leaders [of the city] are like [SIM] deer that are starving because of being unable to find any grass [to eat]. They are very weak, with the result that they are unable to run from their enemies.
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.
[The people of] Jerusalem are sad and scattered, and they think about the previous greatness of the city. [But now] our enemies have captured the city, and there is no one to help the people. Our enemies destroyed the city and laughed while they were doing that.
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.
[The people of] [PRS] Jerusalem have sinned very much; [it is as though] [MET] the city has become [like] a filthy [rag]. All those who [previously] honored the city [now] despise it, because they see that it has become very disgraced [MET]. Now [the people of] the city groan, and they cover their faces [because they are very ashamed].
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!
The city has become filthy because of [PRS] the sins that the people have committed; they did not think about what could happen to the city. [Now] the city has been destroyed, and there is no one to comfort [the people]. [The people cry out saying], “Yahweh, look at how we are suffering because our enemies have defeated us!”
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.
Our enemies have taken away all our treasures, all the valuable things that we owned. We have seen [soldiers from other] nations, [men who do not worship Yahweh], enter our sacred temple, [the place] where foreigners/non-Israelis were (forbidden/not allowed) 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.
The people of the city groan while they search for food; they have given their treasures to get food [to eat] to remain alive. [They say], “Yahweh, look [at us], and see that we are despised!”
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.
You people who pass by, you do not [RHQ] seem to care at all [about what has happened to us]. Look around and see that there are no other [RHQ] people who are suffering like we are. Yahweh has caused us to suffer because he was extremely angry [with us].
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.
[It is as though] he sent a fire from heaven [MTY] that burned in our bones; [it is as though] [MET] he has placed a trap for our feet, and has prevented us from walking any further. He has abandoned us; we are weak/miserable [every day], 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 caused the sins that we have committed to be [like] a heavy load for us to carry; [it is as though] [MET] he tied them around our necks. Previously we were strong, but he has caused us to become weak. He has allowed our enemies to capture us, and we were not able to do anything to resist them.
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.
Yahweh looked at our mighty soldiers and laughed at them. He has summoned a great army to [come and] crush our young soldiers. [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has trampled on [us] people of Judah like [SIM] [people trample] on grapes in a pit [to make wine].
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.
I weep because of [all] those things; my eyes are filled with tears. There is no one to comfort me; those who could encourage me are far away. Our enemies have conquered [us], so our children have nothing good to (hope for/expect to happen).
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.
[We people of] [PRS] Jerusalem reach out our hands [to get help], but there is no one to comfort us. Yahweh has decided concerning [us descendants of] Jacob that the people in nearby nations will become our enemies; so they consider that Jerusalem has become [like] [MET] a filthy rag.
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.
But what Yahweh has done [to us] is fair, because we have rebelled against obeying the commands that he gave [us]. You people everywhere, listen [to us]; [look and] see that we are suffering [greatly]. We had [many] sons and daughters, but they have been captured and forced to go to distant countries.
19 Es piesaucu savus mīļotājus, bet tie mani vīluši; mani priesteri un vecaji pilsētā nonīkuši, kad meklēja sev barības, atspirdzināt savu dvēseli.
We pleaded with our allies [to help us], but they [all] refused. Our priests and our leaders have died [from hunger] in the city while they were searching for food [to eat] to remain 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.
Yahweh, see that we are suffering very much. [It is as though] our inner beings are tormented. We are sad [SYN] because we have rebelled [against you]. Our enemies kill people in the streets with their swords; people are dying [because they have no food to eat].
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 have heard us while we groaned, but no one [came to] comfort us. [Yahweh, ] you caused us to experience this [disaster], and our enemies are happy to see what you have done [to us]. But cause it soon to be the time that you have promised, when our enemies will suffer like we have suffered!
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.
[Yahweh, ] see all the evil things that they have done and punish them! [Punish them] like you have punished us for all the sins that we committed! [We say this to you] because we suffer and groan very much, and we (faint/are very sad).
