Jeremiah 13
1 Thus says Jehovah to me, Go, and buy thee a linen sash, and put it upon thy loins, and do not put it in water.
Tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej un pērc sev nātnu(linu) jostu un jozies ar to ap saviem gurniem, bet neliec to ūdenī.
2 So I bought a sash according to the word of Jehovah, and put it upon my loins.
Tad es pirku jostu pēc Tā Kunga vārda un apjozos ar to ap saviem gurniem.
3 And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani otru reiz un sacīja:
4 Take the sash that thou have bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
Ņem to jostu, ko tu esi pircis, kas ap taviem gurniem, un celies, ej pie Eifrates un apslēp to tur kādā klints plaisumā.
5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.
Un es gāju un to apslēpu pie Eifrates, kā Tas Kungs man bija pavēlējis.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that Jehovah said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the sash from there, which I commanded thee to hide there.
Tad pēc ilgāka laika Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: celies, ej pie Eifrates un ņem to jostu no turienes, ko Es tev esmu pavēlējis, tur apslēpt.
7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the sash from the place where I had hid it. And, behold, the sash was rotten. It was good for nothing.
Tad es gāju pie Eifrates un raku un ņēmu to jostu no tās vietas, kur to biju apslēpis, un redzi, tā josta bija maitāta un nederēja vairs nekam.
8 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja:
9 Thus says Jehovah, After this manner I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpat Es maitāšu Jūda lepnību un Jeruzālemes lielo lepnību.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this sash, which is good for nothing.
Šie niknie ļaudis, kas negrib klausīt Manus vārdus un staigā pēc savas sirds stūrgalvības un dzenās citiem dieviem pakaļ, viņiem kalpot un priekš viņiem klanīties, tie būs kā šī josta, kas nekam vairs neder.
11 For as the sash clings to the loins of a man, so I have caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says Jehovah, that they may be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory, but they would not hear.
Jo kā josta pieglaužas pie vīra gurniem, tā Es visu Israēla namu un visu Jūda namu esmu sev pieglaudījis, saka Tas Kungs, ka tie Man būtu par ļaudīm un par vārdu un par slavu un par godu, bet tie nav klausījuši.
12 Therefore thou shall speak to them this word. Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Every bottle shall be filled with wine. And they shall say to thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
Tāpēc saki uz tiem šo vārdu: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: visi trauki top ar vīnu pildīti. Kad tie uz tevi sacīs: Vai tad mēs to nezinām, ka visi trauki ar vīnu top pildīti?
13 Then thou shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Tad tev uz viņiem būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, visus šās zemes iedzīvotājus, un ķēniņus, kas uz Dāvida goda krēsla sēž, un priesterus un praviešus un visus Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus Es pildīšu ar reibumu.
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Jehovah. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.
Un Es tos sadauzīšu vienu pret otru, tēvus un bērnus, visus kopā, saka Tas Kungs, Es nesaudzēšu un netaupīšu, nedz apžēlošos, ka Es tos neizdeldētu.
15 Hear ye, and give ear, be not proud, for Jehovah has spoken.
Klausiet un ņemiet vērā, nelepojaties, jo Tas Kungs to runājis.
16 Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains. And, while ye look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.
Dodiet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, godu, pirms tumsa metās, un pirms jūsu kājas piedauzās pie krēslības kalniem, un jūs uz gaismu gaidāt, bet Viņš to darīs par nāves ēnu un pārvērtīs par tumsību.
17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride. And my eye shall weep greatly, and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is taken captive.
Bet kad jūs to neklausīsiet, tad mana dvēsele raudās slepeni tādas lepnības dēļ. Un manas acis izlies gaužas asaras un asarām plūdīs, tādēļ ka Tā Kunga ganāmais pulks top aizvests cietumā.
18 Say thou to the king and to the queen-mother: Humble yourselves. Sit down, for your coronets have come down, even the crown of your glory.
Saki uz ķēniņu un uz ķēniņieni: zemojaties, sēžaties zemē, jo viss jūsu galvas glītums, jūsu godības kronis, ir nokritis.
19 The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them. Judah is carried away captive, all of it. It is wholly carried away captive.
Pilsētas pret dienvidiem ir aizslēgtas, un nav, kas tās atver, visa Jūda cilts ir aizvesta, tā ir pavisam aizvesta.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
Paceļat savas acis un raugāt, kas nāk no ziemeļiem. Kur ir tas ganāmais pulks, kas tev bija dots, tavas godības avis?
21 What will thou say when he shall set over thee as head those whom thou thyself have taught to be friends to thee? Shall not sorrows take hold of thee as of a woman in travail?
Ko tu sacīsi, kad Viņš tev cels par galvu tos, ko tu sev pielabinājis par draugiem? Vai tad tevi sāpes nesagrābs, kā sievu, kas dzemdē?
22 And if thou say in thy heart, Why have these things come upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity thy skirts are uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence.
Kad tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: Kāpēc man tas notiek? Tavu lielo noziegumu dēļ tavu drēbju vīles ir atsegtas un tavas kājas piesmietas.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then ye also may do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Vai Moru vīrs var savu ādu pārvērst jeb pardelis(leopards) savus raibumus? Tad arī jūs varētu labu darīt, kad esat ieraduši ļaunu darīt.
24 Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
Tādēļ Es tos gribu izkaisīt kā pelavas, kas izput no tuksneša vēja.
25 This is thy lot, the portion measured to thee from me, says Jehovah, because thou have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Šī būs tava daļa, tā tiesa, ko Es tev esmu nospriedis, saka Tas Kungs, tāpēc ka tu mani esi aizmirsusi un paļāvusies uz meliem.
26 Therefore I will also uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear.
Tad arī Es tavas drēbju vīles atsegšu pār tavu vaigu, ka tavs kauns top redzams.
27 I have seen thine abominations, even thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, on the hills, in the field. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem! Thou will not be made clean. How long shall it yet be?
Jo Es esmu redzējis tavu laulības pārkāpšanu, tavu nešķīsto iekārošanu, tavu neganto maukošanu uz elku kalniem, laukā tavu negantību. Ak vai, tev, Jeruzāleme! Vai tad tu negribi palikt šķīsta, cik ilgi tas vēl būs?
