< Jeremiah 42 >

1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah, the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near,
Tad visi kara virsnieki, Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, un Jaazanija, Ozajas dēls, un visi ļaudis, mazi un lieli, piegāja
2 And said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let our request come before you, and make prayer for us to the Lord your God, even for this small band of us; for we are only a small band out of what was a great number, as your eyes may see:
Un sacīja uz pravieti Jeremiju: lai jel mūsu sirsnīgā lūgšana tev ir pieņēmīga, un lūdz mūsu dēļ To Kungu, savu Dievu, par šiem atlikušiem, jo no daudziem mēs mazums esam atlikušies, kā tavas acis mūs redz,
3 That the Lord your God may make clear to us the way in which we are to go and what we are to do.
Ka Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, mums darītu zināmu to ceļu, pa ko mums jāstaigā un to vārdu, pēc kā mums jādara!
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have given ear to you; see, I will make prayer to the Lord your God, as you have said; and it will be that, whatever the Lord may say in answer to you, I will give you word of it, keeping nothing back.
Un pravietis Jeremija uz tiem sacīja: es paklausīšu, redzi, es pielūgšu To Kungu, jūsu Dievu, pēc jūsu vārdiem, un visu, ko Tas Kungs atbildēs, to es jums sacīšu un nekā neslēpšu.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true witness against us in good faith, if we do not do everything which the Lord your God sends you to say to us.
Tad tie sacīja uz Jeremiju: lai Tas Kungs pret mums ir patiesīgs un taisns liecinieks, ja mēs nedarīsim pēc ikkatra vārda, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, mums pavēlēs.
6 If it is good or if it is evil, we will be guided by the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you; so that it may be well for us when we give ear to the voice of the Lord our God.
Lai būtu labs, lai ļauns, mēs klausīsim Tā Kunga, sava Dieva balsij, pie kā mēs tevi sūtam; lai mums labi klājās, kad mēs Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij klausīsim.
7 And it came about that after ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
Un pēc desmit dienām Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Jeremiju.
8 And he sent for Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were still with him, and all the people, from the least to the greatest,
Tad viņš aicināja Jehohananu, Kareūs dēlu, un visus kara virsniekus, kas bija pie viņa, un visus ļaudis, mazus un lielus.
9 And said to them, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to put your request before him:
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, pie kā jūs mani esat sūtījuši, jūsu lūgšanu nest priekš Viņa vaiga.
10 If you still go on living in the land, then I will go on building you up and not pulling you down, planting you and not uprooting you: for my purpose of doing evil to you has been changed.
Ja jūs paliksiet dzīvot šai zemē, tad Es jūs gribu uztaisīt un nenolauzīt, Es jūs gribu dēstīt un neizraut, jo Man jau ir žēl tā ļaunuma, ko Es jums esmu darījis.
11 Have no fear of the king of Babylon, of whom you are now in fear; have no fear of him, says the Lord: for I am with you to keep you safe and to give you salvation from his hands.
Nebīstaties no Bābeles ķēniņa, no kā vaiga jūs bīstaties; nebīstaties no viņa, saka Tas Kungs; jo Es esmu ar jums, jūs atpestīt un jūs izglābt no viņa rokas.
12 And I will have mercy on you, so that he may have mercy on you and let you go back to your land.
Un Es jums došu žēlastību, ka viņš par jums apžēlojās un jūs atkal atlaiž uz jūsu zemi.
13 But if you say, We have no desire to go on living in this land; and do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God,
Bet ja jūs sacīsiet: mēs šai zemē negribam palikt, un neklausīsiet Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij,
14 Saying, No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, or be hearing the sound of the horn, or be in need of food; there we will make our living-place;
Un sacīsiet: Nē, bet mēs iesim uz Ēģiptes zemi, kur neredzēsim karu un nedzirdēsim trumetes balsi, nedz būsim izsalkuši pēc maizes, un tur mēs gribam dzīvot,
15 Then give ear now to the word of the Lord, O you last of Judah: the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, If your minds are fixed on going into Egypt and stopping there;
Nu tad klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, jūs atlikušie no Jūda! Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: ja jūs savu vaigu griezīsiet, iet uz Ēģipti un iesiet tur piemājot, -
16 Then it will come about that the sword, which is the cause of your fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and need of food, which you are fearing, will go after you there in Egypt; and there death will come to you.
Tad tas zobens, no kā jūs bīstaties, jūs panāks Ēģiptes zemē, un tas bads, par ko jūs bēdājaties, jums tur noies pakaļ, un jūs tur nomirsiet.
17 Such will be the fate of all the men whose minds are fixed on going into Egypt and stopping there; they will come to their end by the sword, by being short of food, and by disease: not one of them will keep his life or get away from the evil which I will send on them.
Tā visiem vīriem, kas savu vaigu griež, iet uz Ēģipti, tur piemājot, būs mirt caur zobenu un caur badu un caur mēri, un no tiem neviens neatliks un neizbēgs no tā ļaunuma, ko Es pār tiem vedīšu.
18 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: As my wrath and passion have been let loose on the people of Jerusalem, so will my passion be let loose on you when you go into Egypt: and you will become an oath and a cause of wonder and a curse and a name of shame; and you will never see this place again.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: tā kā Mana dusmība un Mana bardzība ir izgāzta pār Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem, tā Mana bardzība pār jums izgāzīsies, kad jūs iesiet uz Ēģipti, un jūs būsiet par lāstu un briesmām un par apsmieklu un kaunu, un vairs neredzēsiet šo vietu.
19 The Lord has said about you, O last of Judah, Go not into Egypt: be certain that I have given witness to you this day.
Tas Kungs pret jums runājis, jūs atlikušie no Jūda: neejat uz Ēģipti. Ziniet zinādami, ka es šodien pret jums esmu liecību devis.
20 For you have been acting with deceit in your hearts; for you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, Make prayer for us to the Lord our God, and give us word of everything he may say, and we will do it.
Jo jūs pieviļat savas dvēseles: Jūs mani esat sūtījuši pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, un sacījuši: lūdz par mums To Kungu, mūsu Dievu, un tā kā Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, sacīs, tā mums to dari zināmu, un mēs to gribam darīt.
21 And this day I have made it clear to you, and you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.
Nu es jums to esmu sacījis, bet jūs neklausāt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij, nedz tam, ar ko Viņš mani pie jums sūtījis.
22 And now be certain that you will come to your end by the sword and by being short of food and by disease, in the place to which you are pleased to go for a living-place.
Tad ziniet nu, ka jūs caur zobenu, caur badu un caur mēri mirsiet tai vietā, kurp gribat iet, tur piemājot.
