Zechariah 7
1 And it came about in the fourth year of King Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month Chislev.
Un notikās ķēniņa Dārija ceturtā gadā, tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju devītā, tas ir Ķislev mēneša, ceturtā dienā,
2 Now they of Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech to make a request for grace from the Lord,
Tad Bētele sūtīja Sareceru un ReģemMeleķu ar saviem vīriem, To Kungu pielūgt
3 And to say to the priests of the house of the Lord of armies and to the prophets, Am I to go on weeping in the fifth month, separating myself as I have done in past years?
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?
4 Then the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying
Tad Tā Kunga Cebaot vārds notika uz mani un sacīja:
5 Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, When you went without food and gave yourselves to grief in the fifth and the seventh months for these seventy years, did you ever do it because of me?
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?
6 And when you are feasting and drinking, are you not doing it only for yourselves?
Bet kad jūs ēdat un kad jūs dzerat, vai jūs tie neesat, kas ēd un dzer?
7 Are not these the words which the Lord said to you by the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem was full of people and wealth, and the towns round about her and the South and the Lowland were peopled?
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?
8 And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,
Atkal Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Zahariju sacīdams:
9 This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your judging be upright and done in good faith, let every man have mercy and pity for his brother:
Tā runā Tas Kungs Cebaot un saka: nesiet patiesīgu tiesu un parādiet ikviens savam brālim žēlastību un apžēlošanu.
10 Do not be hard on the widow, or the child without a father, on the man from a strange country, or on the poor; let there be no evil thought in your heart against your brother.
Un neapbēdiniet ne atraitni, nedz bāriņu, nedz svešinieku, nedz nabagu, un nedomājiet ļauna cits pret citu savā sirdī.
11 But they would not give attention, turning their backs and stopping their ears from hearing;
Bet tie negribēja klausīt un palika stūrgalvīgi un apcietināja savas ausis, nepaklausīdami.
12 And they made their hearts like the hardest stone, so that they might not give ear to the law and the words which the Lord of armies had said by the earlier prophets: and there came great wrath from the Lord of armies.
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.
13 And it came about that as they would not give ear to his voice, so I would not give ear to their voice, says the Lord of armies:
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.
14 But with a storm-wind I sent them in flight among all the nations of whom they had no knowledge. So the land was waste after them, so that no man went through or came back: for they had made waste the desired land.
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.
