Jeremijas 46
1 Šis ir Tā Kunga vārds, kas notika uz pravieti Jeremiju pret pagānu tautām:
The word of YHWH came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
2 Pret Ēģipti, pret Faraonu Nekus, Ēģiptes ķēniņa, karaspēku, kas bija pie Eifrat upes, pie Karķemisa, ko Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, sakāva Jojaķima, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, ceturtā gadā.
Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Perath in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
3 Taisiet gatavas bruņas un sedzamas bruņas un ejat karā.
"Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Sedlojiet zirgus un kāpiet virsū, jātnieki, nostājaties vara cepurēs, triniet šķēpus, apvelciet krūšu bruņas.
Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
5 Kāpēc Es tos redzu bailīgus un atpakaļ bēgam, un viņu varenos sakautus un bēgam, ka neskatās atpakaļ? Briesmas visapkārt, saka Tas Kungs.
Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled in haste, and do not look back: terror is on every side," says YHWH.
6 Ne čaklais var izbēgt, ne varenais izsprukt; pret ziemeli pie Eifrat upes krasta tie klūp un krīt.
"Do not let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Perath have they stumbled and fallen.
7 Kas tas, kas ceļas, kā upe, kam ūdeņi veļas kā straumes?
Who is this who rises up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?
8 Ēģiptes zeme ceļas kā upe, un viņas ūdeņi veļas kā straumes un saka: “Es celšos liela, es apklāšu zemi, es maitāšu pilsētas, un kas tur dzīvo.”
Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he says, 'I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.'
9 Ceļaties, zirgi, rībiet, rati! Lai varoņi iziet, Moru ļaudis un no Puta, kas bruņas tura, un Līdieši, kas stopu nes un uzvelk.
Go up, you horses; and rage, you chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
10 Šī diena ir Tā Kunga, Tā Kunga Cebaot atriebšanās diena, ka Viņš atriebjās pie Saviem pretiniekiem, un zobens ēdīs un rīs un piedzersies no viņu asinīm. Jo Tam Kungam, Tam Kungam Cebaot, ir kauja ziemeļu zemē pie Eifrat upes.
For that day is of the Lord, YHWH of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, YHWH of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Perath.
11 Ej augšā uz Gileādu un dabū zalves(balzāmu), jaunava, Ēģiptes meita! Velti, ka tu daudz zāļojies, jo dziedināšanas tev nav.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain do you use many medicines; there is no healing for you.
12 Tautas dzird tavu kaunu, un zeme ir pilna tavas kaukšanas, jo ir straipelejuši varonis uz varoni, un abi kopā krituši.
The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together."
13 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs runāja uz pravieti Jeremiju par Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, nākšanu, kaut Ēģiptes zemi:
The word that YHWH spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.
14 Sludinājiet Ēģiptes zemē, dariet zināmu Migdalā, sauciet to arī Novā un Takvanesā, sakāt: celies un taisies gatava, jo zobens ir aprijis, kas ap tevi.
"Declare in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say, 'Stand forth, and prepare; for the sword has devoured around you.'
15 Kāpēc tavi varenie nogāzti? Tie nepastāvēja, jo Tas Kungs tos gāzis.
Why are your strong ones swept away? They did not stand, because YHWH pushed them.
16 Viņš dara, ka daudzi gāžas, un viens krīt uz otru, un tie saka: ceļaties, iesim atpakaļ pie saviem ļaudīm un uz savu dzimteni no rijēja zobena.
He made many to stumble, yes, they fell one on another: and they said, 'Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.'
17 Tur sauc: Faraons, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, ir pagalam, viņš savu laiku nav licis vērā.
They cried there, 'Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.'"
18 Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka tas Ķēniņš, kam vārds ir Kungs Cebaot: viņš nāks kā Tābors starp kalniem un kā Karmels jūrmalā.
"As I live," says the King, "whose name is YHWH of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 Gādā sev ceļa lietas, iedzīvotāja, Ēģiptes meita, jo Nofa taps par tuksnesi un taps sadedzināta, ka neviens tur nedzīvos.
You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.
20 Ēģipte ir dižena tele, dundurs no ziemeļiem nāk, tiešām nāk.
Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but a horsefly from the north is coming against her.
21 Arī viņas karavīri viņas vidū ir kā baroti teļi; tomēr arī tie griež muguru, visi kopā bēg un nestāv, jo viņu nelaimes diena tiem uzbrukusi, viņu piemeklēšanas laiks.
Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
22 Viņas balss būs, tā kā čab, čūskai lienot, jo tie celsies uz turieni ar karaspēku un nāks pie viņiem ar cirvjiem, kā malkas cirtēji.
The sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
23 Tie nocirtīs viņas mežu, saka Tas Kungs, jebšu tas ir liels un biezs, jo to ir vairāk nekā siseņu, ka tos nevar skaitīt.
They shall cut down her forest, says YHWH, though it can't be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 Ēģiptes meita stāv kaunā, rokā dota ļaudīm no ziemeļiem.
The daughter of Egypt shall be disappointed; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north."
25 Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, saka: redzi, Es piemeklēšu Amonu Noā un Faraonu un Ēģipti un viņas dievus un viņas ķēniņus, Faraonu un tos, kas uz viņu paļaujas;
"YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'Look, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him:
26 Un Es tos nodošu tiem rokā, kas viņu dvēseles meklē, un Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, rokā, un viņa kalpu rokā. Bet pēcgalā tur dzīvos tā kā vecos laikos, saka Tas Kungs.
and I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old,' says YHWH.
27 Bet tu, nebīsties, Mans kalps Jēkab, un neiztrūcinājies, Israēl! Jo redzi, Es tevi atpestīšu no tālienes un tavu dzimumu no viņa cietuma zemes; un Jēkabs griezīsies atpakaļ un paliks mierā, un viņam klāsies labi, un neviens viņu neiztrūcinās.
'But do not be afraid, Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, Israel: for, look, I will save you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 Tu tad nebīsties, Mans kalps Jēkab, saka Tas Kungs; jo Es esmu pie tevis. Jo Es darīšu galu visām pagānu tautām, kurp Es tevi biju aizdzinis, bet tev Es nedarīšu galu, bet Es tevi pārmācīšu pēc taisnības, un tevi nepametīšu nepārmācītu.
Do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant,' says YHWH; 'for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.'"
