Jeremiah 40
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him; for he had been put in chains, among all the prisoners of Jerusalem and Judah who were taken away prisoners to Babylon.
Šis ir tas vārds, kas uz Jeremiju notika no Tā Kunga, kad pils karavīru virsnieks Nebuzaradans viņu ņēma un atlaida no Rāmas, kur viņš bija ķēdēs saslēgts starp visiem Jeruzālemes un Jūda ļaudīm, kas tapa aizvesti uz Bābeli cietumā.
2 And the captain of the armed men took Jeremiah and said to him, The Lord your God gave word of the evil which was to come on this place:
Bet pils karavīru virsnieks lika Jeremiju atvest un sacīja uz viņu: Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, šo ļaunumu par šo vietu runājis,
3 and the Lord has made it come, and has done as he said; because of your sin against the Lord in not giving ear to his voice; and that is why this thing has come on you.
Un Tas Kungs tam ir licis nākt un darījis, kā viņš ir runājis, jo jūs esat grēkojuši pret To Kungu un neesat klausījuši viņa balsij, tāpēc jums tā noticis.
4 Now see, this day I am freeing you from the chains which are on your hands. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will keep an eye on you; but if it does not seem good to you to come with me to Babylon, then do not come: see, all the land is before you; if it seems good and right to you to go on living in the land,
Tad nu redzi, es tevi šodien laižu vaļā no tām ķēdēm pie tavām rokām; ja tev patīk man nākt līdz uz Bābeli, tad nāc, es labi par tevi gādāšu. Bet ja tas tev nepatīk, man nākt līdz uz Bābeli, tad lai paliek. Redzi, visa zeme ir tavā priekšā, kurp iet tev liekās labi un taisni, turp ej.
5 Then go back to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made ruler over the towns of Judah, and make your living-place with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So the captain of the armed men gave him food and some money and let him go.
Un viņam vēl projām neejot, tas sacīja: tad griezies pie Ģedalijas, Aīkama dēla, Safana dēla dēla, ko Bābeles ķēniņš iecēlis pār Jūda pilsētām, un dzīvo pie tā starp tiem ļaudīm, jeb visur, kur tev patīk iet, turp ej. Un pils karavīru virsnieks viņam deva ceļa maizi un dāvanu un viņu atlaida.
6 So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah, and was living with him among the people who were still in the land.
Tā Jeremija nāca pie Ģedalijas, Aīkama dēla, uz Micpu, un dzīvoja pie tā starp tiem ļaudīm, kas bija atlikuši tai zemē.
7 Now when it came to the ears of all the captains of the forces who were in the field, and their men, that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, ruler in the land, and had put under his care the men and women and children, all the poorest of the land, those who had not been taken away to Babylon;
Kad nu visi kara virsnieki, kas laukā turējās līdz ar saviem karavīriem, dzirdēja, ka Bābeles ķēniņš Ģedaliju, Aīkama dēlu, bija iecēlis pār to zemi, un ka viņš tam bija novēlējis vīrus un sievas un bērniņus un tās zemes ļaudis no zemas kārtas, kas uz Bābeli nebija aizvesti,
8 Then they came to Gedaliah in Mizpah, even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah, the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
Tad tie nāca pie Ģedalijas uz Micpu, proti Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, un Jehohanans un Jonatans, Kareūs dēli, un Seraja, Tanumeta dēls, un Evajus dēli no Netofas un Jaazanija, Maāhatus dēls, līdz ar saviem vīriem.
9 And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, took an oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear of the servants of the Chaldaeans: go on living in the land, and become the servants of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.
Un Ģedalija, Aīkama dēls, Safana dēla dēls, zvērēja tiem un viņu vīriem un sacīja: nebīstaties Kaldejiem kalpot, palieciet šai zemē un kalpojiet Bābeles ķēniņam, tad jums labi klāsies.
10 As for me, I will be living in Mizpah as your representative before the Chaldaeans who come to us: but you are to get in your wine and summer fruits and oil and put them in your vessels, and make living-places for yourselves in the towns which you have taken.
Un redzi, es dzīvoju Micpā, stāvēt Kaldeju priekšā, kas pie mums nāk; tad nu krājiet vīnu un labību un eļļu un liekat to savos traukos un dzīvojiet savās pilsētās, ko esat uzņēmuši.
11 In the same way, when all the Jews who were in Moab and among the children of Ammon and in Edom and in all the countries, had news that the king of Babylon had let Judah keep some of its people and that he had put over them Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;
Un visi Jūdi, kas bija Moabā un pie Amona bērniem un Edomā un visās tanīs valstīs, kad dzirdēja, ka Bābeles ķēniņš kādus bija atstājis iekš Jūda, un pār tiem bija iecēlis Ģedaliju, Aīkama dēlu, Safana dēla dēlu,
12 Then all the Jews came back from all the places to which they had gone in flight, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and got in a great store of wine and summer fruit.
Tad visi Jūdi griezās atpakaļ no visām vietām, kurp tie bija aizdzīti, un nāca uz Jūda zemi pie Ģedalijas uz Micpu un sakrāja vīnu un labību lielā pulkā.
13 Now Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were in the field, came to Gedaliah in Mizpah,
Bet Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, un visi kara virsnieki, kas laukā turējās, nāca pie Ģedalijas uz Micpu
14 And said to him, Has it come to your knowledge that Baalis, the king of the children of Ammon, has sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to take your life? But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, put no faith in what they said.
Un sacīja uz viņu: vai tu gan zini, ka Baālis, Amona bērnu ķēniņš, ir sūtījis Ismaēli, Netanijas dēlu, tev ņemt dzīvību? Bet Ģedalija, Aīkama dēls, viņiem neticēja.
15 Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, said to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, Let me now go and put Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to death without anyone's knowledge: why let him take your life so that all the Jews who have come together to you may be sent in flight, and the rest of the men of Judah come to an end?
Tad Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, runāja uz Ģedaliju paslepeni Micpā un sacīja: lūdzams liec man iet un nokaut Ismaēli, Netanijas dēlu, ka neviens to nezin. Kāpēc viņam tevi būs nokaut un visiem Jūdiem, kas pie tevis sapulcinājušies, izklīst un tiem atlikušiem no Jūda iet bojā?
16 But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, said to Johanan, the son of Kareah, You are not to do this: for what you say about Ishmael is false.
Bet Ģedalija, Aīkama dēls, sacīja uz Jehohananu, Kareūs dēlu: Nedari tā, jo tu runā melus par Ismaēli.
