Jeremijas 37

1 Un ķēniņš Cedeķija, Josijas dēls, valdīja Jekanijas, Jojaķima dēla, vietā; to Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija iecēlis par ķēniņu Jūda zemē.

Now king Sedecias the son of Josias reigned instead of Jechonias the son of Joakim: whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon made king in the land of Juda.

2 Bet ne viņš, ne viņa kalpi, ne tie ļaudis tai zemē neklausīja Tā Kunga vārdiem, ko viņš bija runājis caur pravieti Jeremiju.

But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land did obey the words of the Lord, that he spoke in the hand of Jeremias the prophet.

3 Un ķēniņš Cedeķija sūtīja Juhalu, Šelemijas dēlu, un priesteri Cefaniju, Mazejas dēlu, pie pravieša Jeremijas un lika sacīt: lūdz jel par mums To Kungu, mūsu Dievu.

And king Sedecias sent Juchal the son of Selemias, and Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest to Jeremias the prophet, saying: Pray to the Lord our God for us.

4 Jo Jeremija gāja vēl iekšā un ārā starp tiem ļaudīm un vēl nebija cietumā ielikts.

Now Jeremias walked freely in the midst of the people: for they had not as yet cast him into prison.

5 Un Faraona karaspēks bija cēlies no Ēģiptes zemes, un tie Kaldeji, kas ap Jeruzālemi bija apmetušies, to baumi par tiem dzirdējuši, no Jeruzālemes bija aizgājuši.

And the army of Pharao was come out of Egypt: and the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem, hearing these tidings, departed from Jerusalem.

6 Tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Jeremiju sacīdams:

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, saying:

7 Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: tā jums būs atsacīt Jūda ķēniņam, kas jūs pie Manis sūtījis, Mani vaicāt: redzi, Faraona karaspēks, kas jums izgājis palīgā, griezīsies atpakaļ uz savu zemi, uz Ēģipti.

Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Juda, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold the army of Pharao, which is come forth to help you, shall return into their own land, into Egypt.

8 Un Kaldeji nāks atpakaļ un karos pret šo pilsētu un to uzņems un to sadedzinās ar uguni.

And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.

9 Tā saka Tas Kungs: nepieviļat savas dvēseles, sacīdami: Kaldeji tiešām no mums aizies projām, - jo tie neaizies.

Thus saith the Lord: Deceive not your souls, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart and go away from us: for they shall not go away;

10 Jo jebšu jūs kautu visu Kaldeju spēku, kas pret jums karo, un atliktos no tiem (tikai) kādi ievainoti vīri, tad tie celsies ikkatrs savā teltī un sadedzinās šo pilsētu ar uguni.

But if you should even beat all the army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left of them some wounded men: they shall rise up, every man from his tent, and burn this city with Are.

11 Un notikās, kad Kaldeju spēks no Jeruzālemes bija aizgājis priekš Faraona karaspēka,

Now when the army of the Chaldeans was gone away from Jerusalem, because of Pharao’s army,

12 Tad Jeremija izgāja no Jeruzālemes, iet uz Benjamina zemi un tur uzņemt savu daļu to ļaužu vidū.

Jeremias went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin: and to divide a possession there in the presence of the citizens.

13 Un kad viņš nāca Benjamina vārtos, tad tur bija tas sargu virsnieks, Jerija vārdā, Šelemijas dēls, Kananijas dēla dēls, tas sagrāba pravieti Jeremiju un sacīja: tu gribi pāriet pie Kaldejiem.

And when he was come to the gate of Benjamin, the captain of the gate, who I was there in his turn, was one named Jerias, the son of Selemias, the son of Hananias: and he took hold of Jeremias the prophet, saying: Thou art fleeing to the Chaldeans.

14 Un Jeremija sacīja: tas nav tiesa, es nepāriešu pie Kaldejiem. Bet Jerija viņu neklausīja un sagrāba Jeremiju un to noveda pie tiem lielkungiem.

And Jeremias answered: It is not so, I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Jerias took Jeremias and brought him to the princes.

15 Un tie lielkungi apskaitās par Jeremiju un viņu sita un lika cietumā, rakstītāja Jonatana namā, jo to tie bija darījuši par cietuma namu.

Wherefore the princes were angry with Jeremias, and they beat him, and cast him into the prison that was in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for he was chief over the prison.

16 Tā Jeremija gāja cietumā tais pagrabos, un tur Jeremija sēdēja daudz dienas.

So Jeremias went into the house of the prison, and into the dungeon: and Jeremias remained there many days.

17 Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija sūtīja un lika viņu atvest, un ķēniņš viņu vaicāja paslepeni savā namā un sacīja: vai ir kāds vārds no Tā Kunga? Un Jeremija sacīja: ir. Un viņš sacīja: tu Bābeles ķēniņam tapsi dots rokā.

Then Sedecias the king, sending, took him: and asked him secretly in his house, and said: Is there, thinkest thou, any word from the Lord? And Jeremias said: There is. And he said: Thou shalt be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.

18 Un Jeremija sacīja uz ķēniņu Cedeķiju: ko es esmu grēkojis pret tevi un pret taviem kalpiem un pret šiem ļaudīm, ka jūs mani esat likuši cietumā?

And Jeremias said to king Sedecias: In what have I offended against thee, or thy servants, or thy people, that thou hast cast me into prison?

19 Kur nu ir jūsu pravieši, kas jums sludināja un sacīja: Bābeles ķēniņš nenāks pret jums nedz pret šo zemi?

Where are your prophets that prophesied to you, and said: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, and against this land?

20 Tad nu, klausi jel, ak kungs un ķēniņ! Lai jel mana lūgšana tavā priekšā ir pieņēmīga, un neved mani atpakaļ rakstītāja Jonatana namā, ka es tur nemirstu.

Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king: let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

21 Tad ķēniņš Cedeķija pavēlēja, lai Jeremiju tura cietuma pagalmā, un viņam ikdienas tapa dots viens maizes rieciens no cepēju ielas, tiekams visa maize pilsētā bija apēsta. Tā Jeremija palika cietuma pagalmā.

Then king Sedecias commanded that Jeremias should be committed into the entry of the prison: and that they should give him daily a piece of bread, beside broth, till all the bread in the city were spent: and Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison.
