< Cakarijas 7 >
1 Un notikās ķēniņa Dārija ceturtā gadā, tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju devītā, tas ir Ķislev mēneša, ceturtā dienā,
And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu.
2 Tad Bētele sūtīja Sareceru un ReģemMeleķu ar saviem vīriem, To Kungu pielūgt
And Beth-El sends Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of YHWH,
3 Un sacīt uz tiem priesteriem Tā Kunga Cebaot namā un uz tiem praviešiem: Vai man jāraud piektā mēnesī un jāgavē, kā es tik daudz gadus esmu darījis?
speaking to the priests who [are] at the house of YHWH of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Do I weep in the fifth month—being separated—as I have done these so many years?”
4 Tad Tā Kunga Cebaot vārds notika uz mani un sacīja:
And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to me, saying,
5 Runā uz visiem zemes ļaudīm un uz priesteriem un saki: kad jūs gavējāt un žēlojaties piektā un septītā mēnesī šos septiņdesmit gadus, vai jūs tādu(patiesu) gavēšanu esiet Man gavējuši?
“Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,
6 Bet kad jūs ēdat un kad jūs dzerat, vai jūs tie neesat, kas ēd un dzer?
When you fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh [months]—even these seventy years—did you keep the fast [to] Me? And when you eat, and when you drink, is it not you who are eating, and you who are drinking?
7 Vai šie nav tie vārdi, ko Tas Kungs izsauca caur tiem pirmiem praviešiem, kad Jeruzāleme dzīvoja mierā, un viņas pilsētas visapkārt, un dienvidu puse un ieleja bija apdzīvota?
Are [these] not the words that YHWH proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem’s being inhabited, and [in] safety, and its cities around it, and the south and the plain—abiding?”
8 Atkal Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju sacīdams:
And there is a word of YHWH to Zechariah, saying,
9 Tā runā Tas Kungs Cebaot un saka: nesiet patiesīgu tiesu un parādiet ikviens savam brālim žēlastību un apžēlošanu.
“Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Judge [with] true judgment, And do kindness and mercy with one another.
10 Un neapbēdiniet ne atraitni, nedz bāriņu, nedz svešinieku, nedz nabagu, un nedomājiet ļauna cits pret citu savā sirdī.
And do not oppress widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, And you do not devise the calamity of one another in your heart.
11 Bet tie negribēja klausīt un palika stūrgalvīgi un apcietināja savas ausis, nepaklausīdami.
And they refuse to attend, And they give a stubborn shoulder, And their ears are made heavy against hearing.
12 Un savu sirdi tie darīja par dimantu, ka neklausītu bauslību un tos vārdus, ko Tas Kungs Cebaot sūtīja ar Savu Garu caur tiem pirmiem praviešiem.
And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the Law, and the words, That YHWH of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And there is great wrath from YHWH of Hosts.
13 Tādēļ tāda liela dusmība nākusi no Tā Kunga Cebaot. Tāpēc noticis, tā kā Viņš bija saucis, un tie nebija klausījuši; tāpat tie arīdzan sauca, bet Es neklausīju, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
And it comes to pass, as He called, And they have not listened, So they call, and I do not listen,” said YHWH of Hosts.
14 Tā Es tos esmu izputinājis starp visiem pagāniem, ko tie nepazina, un tā zeme aiz tiem tapa postīta, tā ka neviens tur nestaigāja, un tā viņi to jauko zemi darīja par postažu.
“And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land has been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!”
