Nechemijas 9

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

And on the twenty and fourth day of this month were the children of Israel assembled with fasting, and in sackclothes, and with 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 Israel separated themselves from all children of the strangers: and they stood forward and made confession for 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 stood up in their standing-place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their God the fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they made confession, and prostrated themselves before 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.

Then stood up upon the stairs of the Levites, Jeshua' and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebanyah, Bunni, Sherebyah, Bani, and Kenani, and they cried with a loud voice unto 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.

Then said the Levites, Jeshua', and Kadmiel, Bani, Chashabneyah, Sherebyah, Hodiyah, Shebanyah, and Pethachyah, Arise! bless ye the Lord your God from eternity to eternity. And let men bless thy glorious name, which is exalted above 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 indeed art the Eternal One alone: It is thou that hast made the heavens with all their host, the earth, and all that is upon her, the seas, and all that is in them, and thou givest life to them all; and the host of the heavens bow down before thee.

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

Thou art indeed the Lord the [true] God, who didst choose Abram, and bring him forth out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and change his name to 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 with him the covenant to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Emorites, and the Perizittes, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashite—to give it to his seed: and thou hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous.

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

And thou didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and their cry didst thou hear 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 didst display signs and wonders on Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they had dealt presumptuously against them; and thou didst [thus] make thyself a name, as it is 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 the sea didst thou divide before them, so that they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and their pursuers didst thou throw into the deeps, like a stone in 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 by a pillar of cloud didst thou lead them in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night, to give light unto them on the way whereon they should go.

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.

Also on mount Sinai camest thou down, and spokest with them from heaven; and thou gavest them upright ordinances, and truthful laws, good statutes and commandments;

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

And thy holy sabbath madest thou known unto them, and commandments, statutes, and a law didst thou enjoin on them, 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 bread from heaven didst thou give them for their hunger, and water out of the rock broughtest thou forth for them for their thirst; and thou didst order them to go in to take possession of the land concerning which thou hadst lifted up thy hand to give it unto them.

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

And they and our fathers acted presumptuously, and hardened their neck, 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 refused to obey, and remembered not thy marvelous deeds which thou hadst done with them; but they hardened their neck, and [spoke of] appointing a chief to return to their bondage, in their rebellion; but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in kindness, and forsookest them not.

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

Yea, although they had made for themselves a molten calf, and said, 'This is thy god that hath brought thee up out of Egypt,' and had practised great provocations:

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 in thy abundant mercies didst thou not forsake them in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them on the way; nor the pillar of fire by night, to give them light on the way whereon 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 thy good spirit thou gavest to make them intelligent, and thy manna thou withheldest not from their mouth, and water thou gavest them 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.

And forty years didst thou provide for them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing; their clothes did not wear out; and their feet swelled not.

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.

Thou gavest them also kingdoms and nations, which thou didst divide into various corners: and they took possession of the land of Sichon, even the land of the king of Cheshbon, and the land of 'Og the king of Bashan.

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 their children didst thou multiply like the stars of heaven, and then broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst ordered their fathers to enter in to take possession of 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 entered in and took possession of the land; and thou didst humble before them the inhabitants of the land, the Cana'anites, and gavest them up into their hands, with their kings, and the nations of the land, that they might do with them according to their pleasure.

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 captured fortified cities, and a fat soil; and they took possession of houses full of all good things, hewn-out wells, vineyards, and olive-yards, and fruit trees in abundance; and they ate, and were satisfied, and became fat, and delighted themselves 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.

Then became they disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and they slew thy prophets who had warned them to bring them back unto thee, and they practised great provocations.

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.

Thereupon thou gavest them up into the hand of their adversaries, who oppressed them: and in the time of their distress they used to cry unto thee, and thou ever heardest them from heaven; and according to thy abundant mercies thou wast wont to give them helpers, who helped them out of the hand of their adversaries.

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 when [once more] they had rest, they did again evil before thee: wherefore thou didst leave them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them; and when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou wast wont to hear them from heaven, and thou didst ever deliver them according to thy mercies many times.

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 gavest them warning to bring them back unto thy law: yet they acted presumptuously, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, and sinned against thy ordinances, which a man is to do that he may live through them: and they rendered their shoulder rebellious, 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.

Yet thou gavest them indulgence many years, and didst warn them through thy spirit by means of thy prophets; but they gave no ear: therefore didst thou give them up into the hand of the nations 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 abundant mercies hast thou not made an entire end of them, and thou hast not forsaken them; for a gracious and merciful God art thou.

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.

And now, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest the covenant and kindness, let not be esteemed as little before thee all the hardship that hath befallen us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.

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

Nevertheless thou art righteous in all that is come over us; for thou hast acted [according to] 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.

Also our kings, our priests, and our fathers have not executed thy law, and have not listened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst warn 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.

But they in their kingdom, and in thy abundant goodness which thou hadst given unto them, and in the ample and fat land which thou hadst given up before them, did indeed not serve thee, and they turned not away from their wicked deeds.

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 are this day servants: and as regardeth the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat its fruit and its good things, behold, we 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 it yieldeth its products in abundance for the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins; also over our bodies have they dominion, and over our cattle [also] at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

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 make a faithful covenant, and write it down; and on the sealed document are our princes, our Levites, and our priests.
