Jeremijas 13
1 Tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej un pērc sev nātnu(linu) jostu un jozies ar to ap saviem gurniem, bet neliec to ūdenī.
Thus says YHWH to me, "Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and do not put it in water."
2 Tad es pirku jostu pēc Tā Kunga vārda un apjozos ar to ap saviem gurniem.
So I bought a belt according to the word of YHWH, and put it on my waist.
3 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani otru reiz un sacīja:
The word of YHWH came to me the second time, saying,
4 Ņem to jostu, ko tu esi pircis, kas ap taviem gurniem, un celies, ej pie Eifrates un apslēp to tur kādā klints plaisumā.
"Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."
5 Un es gāju un to apslēpu pie Eifrates, kā Tas Kungs man bija pavēlējis.
So I went, and hid it by the Perath, as YHWH commanded me.
6 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.
It happened after many days, that YHWH said to me, "Arise, go to the Perath, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there."
7 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.
Then I went to the Perath, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and look, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja:
Then the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
9 Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpat Es maitāšu Jūda lepnību un Jeruzālemes lielo lepnību.
"Thus says YHWH, 'In this way I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 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.
This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.
11 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.
For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so have I caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah,' says YHWH; 'that they might be my people, for a name, for praise, and for glory. But they would not listen.
12 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?
Therefore you shall speak to them this word: 'Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, "Every jar shall be filled with wine."' And if they shall say to you, 'Do we not certainly know that every jar shall be filled with wine?'
13 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.
Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH, "Look, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14 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.
I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says YHWH. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them."'"
15 Klausiet un ņemiet vērā, nelepojaties, jo Tas Kungs to runājis.
"Hear, and give ear; do not be proud; for YHWH has spoken.
16 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.
Give glory to YHWH your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.
17 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.
But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because YHWH's flock is taken captive."
18 Saki uz ķēniņu un uz ķēniņieni: zemojaties, sēžaties zemē, jo viss jūsu galvas glītums, jūsu godības kronis, ir nokritis.
"Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have come down from your heads.
19 Pilsētas pret dienvidiem ir aizslēgtas, un nav, kas tās atver, visa Jūda cilts ir aizvesta, tā ir pavisam aizvesta.
The cities toward the Negev are shut, and there is no one to open them: Judah is carried away into exile, all of it; it is wholly carried away into exile.'"
20 Paceļat savas acis un raugāt, kas nāk no ziemeļiem. Kur ir tas ganāmais pulks, kas tev bija dots, tavas godības avis?
"Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
21 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?
What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
22 Kad tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: Kāpēc man tas notiek? Tavu lielo noziegumu dēļ tavu drēbju vīles ir atsegtas un tavas kājas piesmietas.
If you say in your heart, 'Why are these things come on me?' for the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.
23 Vai Moru vīrs var savu ādu pārvērst jeb pardelis(leopards) savus raibumus? Tad arī jūs varētu labu darīt, kad esat ieraduši ļaunu darīt.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
24 Tādēļ Es tos gribu izkaisīt kā pelavas, kas izput no tuksneša vēja.
'therefore I will scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.
25 Šī būs tava daļa, tā tiesa, ko Es tev esmu nospriedis, saka Tas Kungs, tāpēc ka tu mani esi aizmirsusi un paļāvusies uz meliem.
This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,' says YHWH; 'because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 Tad arī Es tavas drēbju vīles atsegšu pār tavu vaigu, ka tavs kauns top redzams.
therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear.
27 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?
I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem. You will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?'"
