Jeremiah 14
1 This is the LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
Šis ir Tā Kunga vārds, kas noticis uz Jeremiju, par to bula(sausuma) laiku.
2 “Judah mourns, and its gates languish. They sit in black on the ground. The cry of Jerusalem goes up.
Jūda bēdājās, un viņa vārti tvīkst, sērodamies tie guļ pie zemes, un Jeruzālemes brēkšana kāpj uz augšu.
3 Their nobles send their little ones to the waters. They come to the cisterns, and find no water. They return with their vessels empty. They are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
Un viņu cienīgie sūta savus zemos pēc ūdens; tie nāk pie akām, neatrod ūdens, atgriežas ar saviem traukiem tukšā, top kaunā un noskumst un apsedz savu galvu.
4 Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed. They cover their heads.
Tāpēc ka zeme iztrūkusies, ka lietus nav virs zemes, arāji ir nokaunējušies, apsedz savu galvu.
5 Yes, the doe in the field also calves and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
Pat stirna laukā atnesās un atstāj (savus bērnus), tāpēc ka zāles nav.
6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights. They pant for air like jackals. Their eyes fail, because there is no vegetation.
Un meža ēzeļi stāv pakalnos un tvarsta vēju, kā tuksneša vilki; viņu acis pamirst, tāpēc ka zāles nav.
7 Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name’s sake, LORD; for our rebellions are many. We have sinned against you.
Ak Kungs, jebšu mūsu noziegumi liecina pret mums, tomēr palīdzi Tava Vārda dēļ, jo mūsu atkāpšanās ir liela, pret Tevi esam grēkojuši.
8 You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
Ak Israēla cerība, viņa Pestītājs bēdu laikā, kāpēc Tu gribi būt kā svešinieks šai zemē, jeb kā ceļavīrs, kas nāk, tik palikt par nakti?
9 Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who cannot save? Yet you, LORD, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Do not leave us.
Kāpēc Tu gribi būt kā vīrs, kas iztrūcies, kā varonis, kas nevar glābt? Tomēr Tu Kungs esi mūsu vidū, un mēs pēc Tava Vārda esam nosaukti, neatstājies no mums!
10 The LORD says to this people: “Even so they have loved to wander. They have not restrained their feet. Therefore the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish them for their sins.”
Tā saka Tas Kungs uz šiem ļaudīm: tie mīļo šurp un turp skraidīt un nevalda savas kājas, tāpēc Tam Kungam nav labs prāts pie tiem. Nu Viņš pieminēs viņu noziegumu un piemeklēs viņu grēkus.
11 The LORD said to me, “Do not pray for this people for their good.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: nelūdz par šiem ļaudīm, tiem par labu.
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
Jebšu tie gavē, taču Es viņu brēkšanu neklausīšu, un jebšu tie upurē dedzināmus upurus un ēdamus upurus, tad Man tomēr pie tiem nebūs labs prāts, bet caur zobenu un caur badu un caur mēri Es tos izdeldēšu.
13 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets tell them, ‘You will not see the sword, neither will you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.’”
Tad es sacīju: ak Kungs, Dievs! Redzi, pravieši saka uz tiem: jūs neredzēsiet zobenu, un bads jūs neaizņems, bet es jums došu īstenu mieru šinī vietā.
14 Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I did not send them. I did not command them. I did not speak to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: tie pravieši sludina melus Manā Vārdā, Es tos neesmu sūtījis nedz tiem pavēlējis nedz uz tiem runājis. Tie jums sludina melu parādīšanu un zīlēšanu un nelietību un savu pašu sirds viltību.
15 Therefore the LORD says concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, but I did not send them, yet they say, ‘Sword and famine will not be in this land.’ Those prophets will be consumed by sword and famine.
Tādēļ saka Tas Kungs tā par tiem praviešiem, kas Manā Vārdā sludina, ko Es neesmu sūtījis, un kas saka, zobens nebūs nedz bads šinī zemē: caur zobenu un caur badu šie pravieši taps aprīti.
16 The people to whom they prophesy will be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. They will have no one to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour their wickedness on them.
Un tie ļaudis, kam šie sludina, gulēs uz Jeruzālemes ielām aiz bada un zobena, un nebūs, kas tos aprok ar viņu sievām un ar viņu dēliem un ar viņu meitām; tā Es viņu ļaunumu izgāzīšu pār viņiem.
17 “You shall say this word to them: “‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
Tāpēc saki uz tiem šo vārdu: manas acis plūst asarām dienās un naktīs un nemitās; jo tā jaunava, manu ļaužu meita, ir satriekta ar lielu triecienu, ar varen lielu mocību.
18 If I go out into the field, then behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’”
Kad es izeju laukā, tad redzi, tur ir zobena nokauti, kad es nāku pilsētā, tad redzi, tur guļ badu miruši. Un pravieši un priesteri iet apkārt pa zemi, ko tie nepazīst.
19 Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
Vai tad Tu Jūdu pavisam esi atmetis, jeb vai Tava dvēsele Ciānu apnikusi? Kāpēc Tu mūs esi sitis, ka mums dziedināšanas vairs nav? Gaida uz mieru, bet labuma nav, un uz dziedināšanas laiku, bet redzi, izbailes.
20 We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
Kungs, mēs atzīstam savu bezdievību un savu tēvu noziegumu, ka pret tevi esam grēkojuši.
21 Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake. Do not disgrace the throne of your glory. Remember, and do not break your covenant with us.
Neatmet mūs Tava Vārda dēļ, un lai Tavs godības krēsls netop nievāts; piemini un neiznīcini Savu derību ar mums.
22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Are not you he, the LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
Vai ir starp pagānu elkiem, kas liek lietum līt, jeb vai debess var dot lietu? Vai Tu tas neesi, ak Kungs, mūsu Dievs? Tāpēc mēs uz Tevi gribam gaidīt, jo Tu dari visas šīs lietas.
