Nechemijas 9

1 Un tā paša mēneša divdesmit ceturtā dienā Israēla bērni sapulcējās, gavēdami un maisos un ar zemi uz galvām.

And in the four and twentieth day of the month the children of Israel came together with fasting and with sackcloth, and earth upon them.

2 Un Israēla dzimums šķīrās no visiem svešiniekiem, un tie stāvēja un sūdzēja savus grēkus un savu tēvu noziegumus.

And the seed of the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger: and they stood, and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

3 Un tie cēlās no savas vietas un vienu cēlienu tie lasīja Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, bauslības grāmatā, un vienu cēlienu tie sūdzēja (savus grēkus) un pielūdza To Kungu, savu Dievu.

And they rose up to stand: and they read in the book of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed, and adored the Lord their God.

4 Un augstā levitu vietā stāvēja: Ješuūs un Banus, Kadmiēls, Šebanija, Bunus, Šerebija, Banus un Kenanus, un sauca ar stipru balsi uz To Kungu, savu Dievu.

And there stood up upon the seep of the Levites, Josue, and Bani, and Cedmihel, Sabania, Bonni, Sarebias, Bani, and Chanani: and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.

5 Un tad sacīja tie leviti Ješuūs un Kadmiēls, Banus, Azabenija, Šerebija, Hodija, Šebanija, Petahja: ceļaties, teiciet To Kungu, savu Dievu, mūžīgi mūžam. Un lai slavēts top Tavas godības vārds, kas ir augstāks pār visu slavu un teikšanu.

And the Levites Josue and Cedmihel, Bonni, Hasebnia, Serebia, Oduia, Sebnia, and Phathahia, said: Arise, bless the Lord your God from eternity to eternity: and blessed be the high name of thy glory with all blessing and praise.

6 Tu esi tas vienīgais Kungs, Tu esi darījis debesis un debesu debesis un visu viņu spēku, zemi un visu, kas zemes virsū, jūru un visu, kas iekš tās, un Tu dari šo visu dzīvu un debesu spēks klanās Tavā priekšā.

Thou thyself, O Lord alone, thou hast made heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all the host thereof: the earth and all things that are in it: the seas and all that are therein: and thou givest life to all these things, and the host of heaven adoreth thee.

7 Tu esi Tas Kungs un Dievs, kas Ābramu izredzējis un viņu izvedis no Ura Kaldejā un viņam devis vārdu Ābrahāmu.

Thou, O Lord God, art he who chosest Abram, and broughtest him forth out of the fire of the Chaldeans, and gavest him the name of Abraham.

8 Un Tu viņa sirdi esi atradis uzticīgu Sava vaiga priekšā, un ar viņu esi cēlis derību, viņam dot Kanaāniešu, Hetiešu, Amoriešu un Fereziešu un Jebusiešu un Ģirgoziešu zemi, to dot viņa dzimumam; un Tu Savu vārdu stipri esi turējis, tāpēc ka Tu esi taisns.

And thou didst find his heart faithful before thee: and thou madest a covenant with him, to give him the land of the Chanaanite, of the Hethite, and of the Amorrhite, and of the Pherezite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Gergezite, to give it to his seed: and thou hast fulfilled thy words, because thou art just.

9 Un Tu esi redzējis mūsu tēvu bēdas Ēģiptes zemē un viņu brēkšanu klausījis pie Niedru jūras,

And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt: and thou didst hear their cry by the Red Sea.

10 Un esi zīmes un brīnumus darījis pie Faraona un pie visiem viņa kalpiem un pie visiem viņa zemes ļaudīm. Jo Tu zināji, ka tie pret tiem bijuši pārgalvīgi, un Tu Sev esi darījis slavu, tā kā šodien.

And thou shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharao, and upon all his servants, and upon the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them: and thou madest thyself a name, as it is at this day.

11 Un jūru Tu esi dalījis viņu priekšā, ka tie pa jūras vidu ir gājuši sausumā; un kas viņiem pakaļ dzinās, tos Tu esi iemetis dziļumos, tā kā akmeni stipros ūdeņos.

And thou didst divide the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land: but their persecutors thou threwest into the depth, as a stone into mighty waters.

12 Un dienā Tu tos esi vadījis ar padebeša stabu un naktī ar uguns stabu, viņiem gaišu darīdams ceļu, kur tiem bija jāiet.

And in a pillar of a cloud thou wast their leader by day, and in a pillar of Are by night, that they might see the way by which they went.

13 Un Tu esi nolaidies uz Sinaī kalnu un no debesīm ar tiem runājis un tiem devis taisnas tiesas, īstenu bauslību, labus likumus un baušļus.

Thou camest down also to mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from heaven, and thou gavest them right judgments, and the law of truth, ceremonies, and good precepts.

14 Un savu svēto dusas dienu Tu tiem esi darījis zināmu, un baušļus un iestādījumus un bauslību tiem esi pavēlējis caur Mozu, Savu kalpu.

Thou madest known to them thy holy sabbath, and didst prescribe to them commandments, and ceremonies, and the law by the hand of Moses thy servant.

15 Un maizi Tu tiem esi devis no debesīm, kad tie bija izsalkuši, un ūdeni tiem izvedis no klints, kad tie bija izslāpuši, un esi uz tiem sacījis, lai ieiet un iemanto to zemi, pār ko Tu Savu roku pacēli, viņiem to dot.

And thou gavest them bread from heaven in their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock in their thirst, and thou saidst to them that they should go in, and possess the land, upon which thou hadst lifted up thy hand to give it them.

16 Bet šie, mūsu tēvi, turējušies pārgalvīgi un viņu kakls palika stīvs, un tie nav klausījuši Taviem baušļiem,

But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks and hearkened not to thy commandments.

17 Un ir liegušies klausīt un nav pieminējuši Tavus brīnumus, ko Tu tiem esi darījis, bet tie palikuši stūrgalvīgi un cēluši virsnieku, iet atpakaļ uz savu kalpošanu, dumpinieki būdami. Bet Tu Dievs žēlotājs, žēlīgs un sirdsžēlīgs, lēnprātīgs un no lielas žēlastības, Tu tos neesi atstājis.

And they would not hear, and they remembered not thy wonders which thou hadst done for them. And they hardened their necks, and gave the head to return to their bondage, as it were by contention. But thou, a forgiving God, gracious, and merciful, longsuffering, and full of compassion, didst not forsake them.

18 Jebšu tie arī taisīja lietu teļu un sacīja: šis ir tavs dievs, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, - un tevi gauži kaitināja,

Yea when they had made also to themselves a molten calf, and had said: This is thy God, that brought thee out of Egypt: and hail committed great blasphemies:

19 Tomēr pēc Savas lielās sirdsžēlastības Tu tos neesi atstājis tuksnesī, tas padebeša stabs neatstājās no tiem dienā, tos vezdams pa ceļu, nedz tas uguns stabs naktī, tiem spīdēdams uz ceļa, kur tie gāja.

Yet thou, in thy many mercies, didst not leave them in the desert: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day to lead them in the way, and the pillar of fire by night to shew them the way by which they should go.

20 Un Tu esi devis Savu labo Garu, tos pamācīt, un to mannu Tu neesi atrāvis no viņu mutes, un tiem ūdeni esi devis, kad tie bija izslāpuši.

And thou gavest them thy good Spirit to teach them, and thy manna thou didst not withhold from their mouth, and thou gavest them water for their thirst.

21 Tā Tu tos tuksnesī esi uzturējis četrdesmit gadus, tiem nekāds trūkums nav bijis, viņu drēbes nav palikušas vecas un viņu kājas nav uztūkušas.

Forty years didst thou feed them in the desert, and nothing was wanting to them: their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn.

22 Un Tu tiem esi devis ķēniņu valstis un ļaudis, un tos esi nošķīris šurp un turp. Tā tie ir iemantojuši Sihona zemi un Hešbonas ķēniņa zemi un Basanas ķēniņa Oga zemi.

And thou gavest them kingdoms, and nations, and didst divide lots for them: and they possessed the land of Sehon, and the land of the king of Hesebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.

23 Un viņu bērnus Tu esi vairojis kā debess zvaigznes un tos ievedis tai zemē, par ko Tu viņu tēviem esi sacījis, ka tie ieies, to iemantot.

And thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them to the land concerning which thou hadst said to their fathers, that they should go in and possess it.

24 Tā tie bērni tur ir iegājuši un to zemi iemantojuši, un Tu esi pazemojis tās zemes iedzīvotājus, tos Kanaāniešus, viņu priekšā un nodevis viņu rokās viņu ķēniņus un tās zemes ļaudis, lai ar tiem dara pēc sava prāta.

And the children came and possessed the land, and thou didst humble before them the inhabitants of the land, the Chanaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as it pleased them.

25 Un tie ir uzņēmuši stipras pilsētas un treknu zemi un iemantojuši namus, visāda labuma pilnus, izcirstas akas, vīna dārzus un eļļas dārzus un daudz augļu kokus, un tie ir ēduši un paēduši un tauki palikuši, un ir priecājušies caur Tavu lielo labdarīšanu.

And they took strong cities and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods: cisterns made by others, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: and they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and abounded with delight in thy great goodness.

26 Bet tie ir palikuši pārgalvīgi un Tev turējušies pretī un atmetuši Tavu bauslību un nokāvuši Tavus praviešus, kas pret tiem liecināja, lai pie Tevis atgriežas, un tie ir padarījuši lielas apkaitināšanas.

But they provoked thee to wrath, and departed from thee, and threw thy law behind their backs: and they killed thy prophets, who admonished them earnestly to return to thee: and they were guilty of great blasphemies.

27 Tāpēc Tu tos esi devis viņu naidnieku rokā, kas tos spaidījuši. Bet tiem savu spaidu laikā uz Tevi brēcot, Tu esi dzirdējis no debesīm un pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas Tu tiem esi devis pestītājus, kas tos izpestīja no viņu naidnieku rokas.

And thou gavest them into the hands of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation they cried to thee, and thou heardest from heaven, and according to the multitude of thy tender mercies thou gavest them saviours, to save them from the hands of their enemies.

28 Bet kad tiem bija miers, tad tie atkal darīja ļaunu Tava vaiga priekšā; tā Tu tos atstāji viņu ienaidnieku rokā, un tie pār viņiem valdīja. Kad tie nu atgriezās un uz Tevi brēca, tad Tu tos esi klausījis no debesīm un tos dažu reizi izpestījis pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas.

But after they had rest, they returned to do evil in thy sight: and thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, and they had dominion over them. Then they returned, and cried to thee: and thou heardest from heaven, and deliveredst them many times in thy mercies.

29 Un Tu tiem esi devis liecību, lai tie atgriežas pie Tavas bauslības. Bet tie bija pārgalvīgi un neklausīja Taviem baušļiem un grēkoja pret Tavām tiesām, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur to dzīvo, un tie Tev griezuši muguru un savu kaklu darījuši stīvu un nav klausījuši.

And thou didst admonish them to return to thy law. But they dealt proudly, and hearkened not to thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

30 Un Tu uz tiem esi gaidījis daudz gadus un tiem liecinājis caur Savu Garu, caur Saviem praviešiem: bet tie neatgrieza savas ausis. Tāpēc Tu tos esi nodevis pasaules tautu rokā.

And thou didst forbear with them for many years, and didst testify against them by thy spirit by the hand of thy prophets: and they heard not, and thou didst deliver them into the hand of the people of the lands.

31 Tomēr pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas Tu tos neesi pavisam iznīcinājis nedz tos atstājis; jo Tu esi žēlīgs un sirdsžēlīgs Dievs.

Yet in thy very many mercies thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them: because thou art a merciful and gracious God.

32 Un nu mūsu Dievs, Tu stiprais, lielais, varenais un bijājamais Dievs, kas tur derību un sirds žēlastību, - lai Tev nešķiet maza visa šī grūtība, kas mums uzgājusi mūsu ķēniņiem, mūsu lielkungiem un mūsu priesteriem un mūsu praviešiem un mūsu tēviem un visiem Taviem ļaudīm, no Asīrijas ķēniņa laika līdz šai dienai.

Now therefore our God, great, strong and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy, turn not away from thy face all the labour which hath come upon us, upon our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people from the days of the king of Assur, until this day.

33 Tomēr Tu esi taisns iekš visa, kas mums uznācis, jo Tu esi uzticīgi darījis; bet mēs esam darījuši bezdievīgi.

And thou art just in all things that have come upon us: because thou hast done truth, but we have done wickedly.

34 Un mūsu ķēniņi, mūsu lielkungi, mūsu priesteri un mūsu tēvi nav turējuši Tavu bauslību un nav vērā ņēmuši Tavas pavēles un Tavas liecības, ko Tu tiem liecinājis.

Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept thy law, and have not minded thy commandments, and thy testimonies which thou hast testified among them.

35 Jo tie Tev nav kalpojuši savā valstī un iekš Tava lielā labuma, ko Tu tiem biji devis, un tai plašā treknā zemē, ko Tu priekš viņiem biji nolicis, un nav atgriezušies no saviem ļauniem darbiem.

And they have not served thee in their kingdoms, and in thy manifold goodness, which thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land, which thou deliveredst before them, nor did they return from their most wicked devices.

36 Redzi, mēs šodien esam kalpi; arī tai zemē, ko Tu mūsu tēviem esi devis, viņas augļus un viņas labumu ēst, - redzi, iekš tās mēs esam kalpi.

Behold we ourselves this day are bondmen: and the land, which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the bread thereof, and the good things thereof, and we ourselves are servants in it.

37 Un viņas augļi vairojās priekš tiem ķēniņiem, ko Tu pār mums esi iecēlis mūsu grēku dēļ, un tie valda pār mūsu miesām un pār mūsu lopiem pēc savas patikšanas. Tā mēs esam lielās bēdās.

And the fruits thereof grow up for the kings, whom thou hast set over us for our sins, and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our beasts, according to their will, and we are in great tribulation.

38 Un pēc visa tā mēs cēlām taisnu derību un to uzrakstījām; un mūsu lielkungi, mūsu leviti un mūsu priesteri to apzieģelēja.

And because of all this we ourselves make a covenant, and write it, and our princes, our Levites, and our priests sign it.
