Jeremijas 40

1 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.

The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that Nabuzardan the general had let him go from Rama, when he had taken him, being bound with chains, among all them that were carried away from Jerusalem and Juda, and were carried to Babylon.

2 Bet pils karavīru virsnieks lika Jeremiju atvest un sacīja uz viņu: Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, šo ļaunumu par šo vietu runājis,

And the general of the army taking Jeremias, said to him: The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place,

3 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.

And he hath brought it: and the Lord hath done as he hath said: because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not hearkened to his voice, and this word is come upon you.

4 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.

Now then behold I have loosed thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hands: if it please thee to come with me to Babylon, come: and I will set my eyes upon thee: but if it do not please thee to come with me to Babylon, stay here: behold all the land is before thee, as thou shalt choose, and whither it shall please thee to go, thither go.

5 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.

And come not with me: but dwell with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Juda: dwell therefore with him in the midst of the people: or whithersoever it shall please thee to go, go. And the general of the army gave him victuals and presents, and let him go.

6 Tā Jeremija nāca pie Ģedalijas, Aīkama dēla, uz Micpu, un dzīvoja pie tā starp tiem ļaudīm, kas bija atlikuši tai zemē.

And Jeremias went to Godolias the son of Ahicam to Masphath: and dwelt with him in the midst of the people that were left in the land.

7 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,

And when all the captains of the army that were scattered through the countries, they and their companions, had heard that the king of Babylon had made Godolias the son of Ahicam governor of the country, and that he had committed unto him men and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, them that had not been carried away captive to Babylon:

8 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.

They came to Godolias to Masphath: and Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and Johanan, and Jonathan, the sons of Caree, and Sareas the son of Thanehumeth, and the children of Ophi, that were of Netophathi, and Jezonias the son of Maachati, they and their men.

9 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.

And Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan swore to them and to their companions, saying: Fear not to serve the Chaldeass: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

10 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.

Behold I dwell in Masphath, that I may answer the commandment of the Chaldeans that are sent to us: but as for you, gather ye the vintage, and the harvest, and the oil, and lay it up in your vessels, and abide in your cities which you hold.

11 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,

Moreover all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and in all the countries, when they heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judea, and that he had made Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan ruler over them:

12 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.

All the Jews, I say, returned out of all the places to which they had fled, and they came into the land of Juda to Godolias to Masphath: and they gathered wine, and a very great harvest.

13 Bet Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, un visi kara virsnieki, kas laukā turējās, nāca pie Ģedalijas uz Micpu

Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the army, that had been scattered about in the countries, came to Godolias to Masphath.

14 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.

And they said to him: Know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ismahel the son of Nathanias to kill thee. And Godolias the son of Ahicam believed them not.

15 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?

But Johanan the son of Caree, spoke to Oodolias privately in Masphath, saying: I will go, and I will kill Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and no man shall know it, lest he kill thee, and all the Jews be scattered, that are gathered unto thee, and the remnant of Juda perish.

16 Bet Ģedalija, Aīkama dēls, sacīja uz Jehohananu, Kareūs dēlu: Nedari tā, jo tu runā melus par Ismaēli.

And Codolias the son of Ahicam said to Johanan the son of Cares: Do not this thing: for what thou sayst of Ismahel is false.
