Cakarijas 11

1 Atdari savas durvis, Lībanus, lai uguns aprij tavus ciedru kokus.

[You people of] [APO] Lebanon [should] open your gates, [because you will not be able to stop] fire from burning your cedar [trees]!

2 Kauciet, priedes, ka ciedru koki krituši un varenie postīti. Kauciet, Basanas ozoli, ka tas biezais mežs gāzies.

Your cypress/pine [trees] [APO] should [also] wail because the cedar [trees] have been cut down. Those glorious/great trees have been destroyed. The oak trees in the Bashan [region] should also wail, because the other trees in the forest have been cut down.

3 Tur ir ganu kaukšanas balss, tāpēc ka viņu godība postīta; jaunu lauvu rūkšanas balss, tāpēc ka Jardānes greznība postīta. -

And listen to the shepherds crying because the fertile pastures have been ruined. Listen to the lions roar; they roar because the delightful forest [where they live] near the Jordan [River] has been ruined.

4 Tā saka Tas Kungs, mans Dievs: gani šās kaujamās avis.

This is what Yahweh my God said [to me]: “[I want you to] become a shepherd for a flock [of sheep that are about] to be slaughtered.

5 Jo tie, kam tās pieder, tās nokauj un to netur par noziegumu, un ikviens no viņu pārdevējiem saka: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, ka esmu bagāts tapis, un viņu gani tās netaupa.

The people who are going to buy the sheep will kill the sheep, and they will not be punished. Those who are selling the sheep say, ‘[I] praise Yahweh, [because] I will become rich!’ Even the shepherds do not feel sorry for the sheep.

6 Tiešām, šās zemes iedzīvotājus Es vairs netaupīšu, saka Tas Kungs: bet redzi, Es cilvēkus nodošu ikvienu viņa tuvākā rokā un viņa ķēniņa rokā, ka tiem šo zemi būs sagrauzt, un Es tos negribu izpestīt no viņu rokas.

And similarly, I no longer feel sorry for the people of this country. I am going to allow many of them [HYP] to be captured by other people or by their king. Those who capture them will ruin this country, and I will not rescue any [of the people].”

7 Un es ganīju šās kaujamās avis, un tā arī tās nabaga avis, un es sev ņēmu divus zižļus, to vienu es nosaucu Laipnību, un to otru Saites, un ganīju tās avis.

So I became the shepherd of a flock [of sheep that were about] to be slaughtered [for their meat to be sold] to the dealers. [I took good care of the sheep, even the ones that were the weakest sheep. Then] I took two [shepherds’] /walking sticks). I named the one [staff] ‘Kindness’ and the other [staff] ‘Union’. And I took good care of the sheep.

8 Un es izdeldēju trīs ganus vienā mēnesī; jo mana dvēsele tos bija apnikusi, un arī viņu dvēselei es biju riebīgs.

But the three shepherds [who had been working with me] detested me, and I became impatient with them. Within one month I (dismissed/got rid of) those shepherds.

9 Un es sacīju: es jūs vairs neganīšu; kas mirst, lai mirst, kas zūd, lai zūd, un kas atliek, tas lai aprij cits cita miesu.

So I said [to the dealers], “I will no [longer] be the shepherd. I will allow the ones that are dying to die. I will allow the ones that are getting lost to get lost. And I will not prevent those that remain from destroying each other.”

10 Un es ņēmu savu zizli, Laipnību, un to salauzu un iznīcināju savu derību, ko biju derējis ar visām tautām.

Then I took the staff that I had named ‘Kindness’ and I broke it. [That showed that Yahweh] was annulling/canceling the agreement that he had made with all the people-groups.

11 Un tā tai dienā tapa iznīcināta. Tad tās nabaga avis, kas mani lika vērā, atzina, ka tas bija Tā Kunga vārds.

So that agreement was ended immediately. And the men who bought and sold sheep who were watching me knew [by seeing what I was doing] that I was giving them a message from Yahweh.

12 Un es uz tiem sacīju: ja jums patīk, tad dodat man savu algu, bet ja ne, tad lai paliek. Un tie nosvēra manu algu, trīsdesmit sudraba gabalus.

I told them, “If you think it is what you should do, pay me [for taking care of the sheep]. If you do not think that is what you should do, do not pay me.” So they paid me [only] 30 pieces of silver.

13 Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: nomet to podniekam, to dārgo algu, cik dārgu tie Mani turējuši. Un es ņēmu tos trīsdesmit sudraba gabalus un tos nometu Tā Kunga namā podniekam.

Then Yahweh said to me, “[That is a ridiculously small amount of money that they have paid you]! [So] throw it to the man who makes clay pots!” So I took the silver to the temple of Yahweh, and I threw it in the chest where the offerings/money is kept.

14 Tad es salauzu savu otru zizli, Saites, un iznīcināju brālību starp Jūdu un Israēli.

Then I broke my second staff, [the one that I named] ‘Union’. That [indicated that] Judah and Israel would no longer be united.

15 Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: ņem atkal ģeķīgā(neapdomīgā) gana rīkus.

Then Yahweh said to me, “Take again the things that a foolish shepherd uses,

16 Jo redzi, Es celšu ganu zemē, kas neņem vērā bojā ejošo, nemeklē noklīdušo un nedziedina satriekto un neapkopj neveselo, bet kas ēd treknā gaļu un salauž viņu nagus.

because I am going to appoint a new king for the people, [one who will not take care of my people. He will be like a foolish shepherd]: [MET] He will not take care of those who are dying, those who are very young, those who have been injured, or those who do not have enough food. Instead, he will [treat them very cruelly, like a shepherd who would] [MET] kill and eat the best sheep and tear off their hoofs.

17 Vai tam nelieša ganam, kas atstāj ganāmo pulku! Zobens pār viņa elkoni un pār viņa labo aci! Viņa elkonis kaltin lai sakalst un viņa labā acs lai pavisam izdziest!

But terrible things will happen to that foolish/useless king who abandons the people [MET] over whom he rules. [His enemies] will strike his arm and his right eye with their swords. [The result will be that] he will have no strength in his arm, and his right eye will become completely blind.”
