Cakarijas 7
1 Un notikās ķēniņa Dārija ceturtā gadā, tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju devītā, tas ir Ķislev mēneša, ceturtā dienā,
In the fourth year of the reign of King Darius, on the fourth day of Chislev, the ninth month, the message of the Lord came to Zechariah.
2 Tad Bētele sūtīja Sareceru un ReģemMeleķu ar saviem vīriem, To Kungu pielūgt
The city of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech and their men, to entreat the favor of the Lord,
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?
and to ask the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and the prophets “Should I continue to mourn in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done for many years?”
4 Tad Tā Kunga Cebaot vārds notika uz mani un sacīja:
Then this message of the Lord of hosts came to me:
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?
Tell all the people of the land and the priests, “When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, for these seventy years, did you really fast for me?
6 Bet kad jūs ēdat un kad jūs dzerat, vai jūs tie neesat, kas ēd un dzer?
When you eat and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
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?
Wasn’t it this which the Lord proclaimed by the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and prosperous, and her towns surrounding her and the Negreb and the Shephelah were inhabited?”
8 Atkal Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju sacīdams:
The Lord gave this message to Zechariah:
9 Tā runā Tas Kungs Cebaot un saka: nesiet patiesīgu tiesu un parādiet ikviens savam brālim žēlastību un apžēlošanu.
The Lord of hosts says, execute true judgments. Show kindness and mercy to each other.
10 Un neapbēdiniet ne atraitni, nedz bāriņu, nedz svešinieku, nedz nabagu, un nedomājiet ļauna cits pret citu savā sirdī.
Do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the resident foreigner or the poor. Let none of you devise evil against another in your hearts.
11 Bet tie negribēja klausīt un palika stūrgalvīgi un apcietināja savas ausis, nepaklausīdami.
But they refused to listen, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears so they wouldn’t hear.
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.
They made their hearts as hard as stone so they wouldn’t accept the teaching and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent by his spirit through the earlier prophets. Great was the anger of the Lord 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.
I called and they would not hear, so they call and I do not hear, says the Lord 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.
I scattered them by a whirlwind out among nations unknown to them. The land was left desolate behind them, with no one crossing or returning, for they made the pleasant land a desolation.
