Jeremijas 6
1 Bēgat, Benjamina bērni, no Jeruzālemes, bazūnējat Tekoā, ceļat ugunszīmi BetKeremē, jo bēdas rādās no ziemeļa puses un liels posts.
“Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the middle of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem, for evil looks out from the north with a great destruction.
2 Es izdeldu Ciānas meitu, to jauko un vēlīgo.
I will cut off the beautiful and delicate one, the daughter of Zion.
3 Gani uz viņu nāks ar saviem ganāmiem pulkiem, tie uzcels teltis visapkārt ap viņu, tie noganīs ikviens savu vietu.
Shepherds with their flocks will come to her. They will pitch their tents against her all around. They will feed everyone in his place.”
4 Taisāties uz karu pret viņu, ceļaties, ejam pašā dienas vidū. Ak vai, (bēdas) mums! Jo vakars metās un ēnas paliek garākas.
“Prepare war against her! Arise! Let’s go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 Ceļaties, un ejam pašā naktī un izpostīsim viņas jaukos namus.
Arise! Let’s go up by night, and let’s destroy her palaces.”
6 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: nocērtiet kokus un uzmetiet valni pret Jeruzālemi; šī ir tā pilsēta, kas taps piemeklēta. Viņas vidū ir tik netaisnība vien.
For Yahweh of Armies said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited. She is filled with oppression within herself.
7 Kā avots izverd savu ūdeni, tā viņa izverd savu ļaunumu. Varasdarbu un postu tur dzird, kaušanās un plēšanās bez mitēšanās ir manā priekšā.
As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me.
8 Pieņem mācību, Jeruzāleme, lai Mana dvēsele no tevis nenogriežas, lai Es tevi nedaru par tuksnesi, par zemi bez iedzīvotāja.
Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.”
9 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: kas atliek no Israēla, to tie otrā reizē nolasīs kā vīna koku. Ņem traukus atkal rokā kā vīna ogu lasītājs.
Yahweh of Armies says, “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.”
10 Uz ko lai es runāju un dodu liecību, ka tie to dzird? Redzi, viņu ausis ir neapgraizītas, ka tie nevar dzirdēt. Redzi, Tā Kunga vārds tiem ir par apsmieklu, pie tā tiem nav labs prāts.
To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, Yahweh’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
11 Tādēļ es esmu pilns Tā Kunga bardzības, ka nevaru valdīties. Izgāz to arī pār bērniem uz ielām, un pār to jaunekļu draudzi kopā, jo vīri un sievas tiks aizņemti, veci un kas mūžu piedzīvojuši.
Therefore I am full of Yahweh’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife will be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
12 Un viņu nami taps citiem līdz ar tīrumiem un sievām; jo Es izstiepšu Savu roku pret tās zemes iedzīvotājiem, saka Tas Kungs.
Their houses will be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh.”
13 Jo visi ir mantas kārīgi, tā mazi kā lieli; tā pravietis kā priesteris, visi dzen viltību.
“For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
14 Un tie dziedina Manas tautas vainu kā par nieku, sacīdami: miers, miers! Kur tomēr miera nav.
They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.
15 Tie krituši kaunā, ka darījuši negantību. Bet tie nemaz nekaunas un neprot kauna. Tāpēc tie kritīs starp tiem kritušiem; kad es tos piemeklēšu, tad tiem būs krist, saka Tas Kungs.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. When I visit them, they will be cast down,” says Yahweh.
16 Tā saka Tas Kungs: stājaties uz ceļiem un raugāt un vaicājiet pēc tiem senajiem ceļiem, kurš tas labais ceļš, un staigājiet pa to, tad jūs atradīsiet dusu savai dvēselei. Bet tie saka: mēs negribam staigāt.
Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 Es arī esmu iecēlis sargus pār jums, klausāties uz trumetes skaņu. Bet tie saka: mēs negribam klausīties.
I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
18 Tāpēc klausāties, tautas, un ņem vērā, draudze, kas viņu starpā notiek.
Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them.
19 Klausies, zeme! Redzi, Es vedīšu ļaunumu pār šiem ļaudīm, viņu padomu augļus, jo tie neklausās uz Manu vārdu, un Manu bauslību tie atmet.
Hear, earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 Par ko tad Man tas vīraks, kas nāk no Sabas, un tās labās niedres no tālās zemes? Jūsu dedzināmie upuri Man nepatīk, un jūsu kaujamie upuri Man nemīlami.
To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
21 Tādēļ Tas Kungs tā saka: redzi, Es šiem ļaudīm likšu piedauzekļus, un tēvi un bērni kopā pie tiem piedauzīsies, kaimiņš ar kaimiņu ies bojā.
Therefore Yahweh says, “Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together will stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend will perish.”
22 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, tauta nāk no ziemeļa zemes, un liela tauta celsies no pasaules malām;
Yahweh says, “Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
23 Tā nes stopus un šķēpus, tā ir briesmīga un nežēlīga, viņu balss kauc kā jūra, un tie jāj uz zirgiem; tie ir apbruņoti kā karavīri pret tevi, Ciānas meita.
They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.”
24 Kad mēs par viņiem baumas dzirdējām, tad mūsu rokas nogura, bailība mums uzbruka un sāpes kā dzemdētājai.
We have heard its report. Our hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
25 Neizejat laukā un nestaigājat pa ceļu, jo ienaidnieka zobens ir visapkārt par iztrūcināšanu.
Don’t go out into the field or walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror are on every side.
26 Ak, mana tauta, apjoz maisu un nometies pelnos, žēlojies kā par vienīgo dēlu, bēdājies gauži, jo postītājs nāk pār mums piepeši.
Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for the destroyer will suddenly come on us.
27 Es tevi esmu iecēlis par pārbaudītāju starp Maniem ļaudīm kā stipru pili, ka tev viņu ceļu būs atzīt un pārbaudīt.
“I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way.
28 Tie visi ir tie lielākie atkāpēji un staigā viltībā, tie ir varš un dzelzs, tie visi ir samaitātāji.
They are all grievous rebels, going around to slander. They are bronze and iron. All of them deal corruptly.
29 Plēšas ir sadegušas, no viņu uguns nāk tikai svins, kausētājs velti kausējis, jo sārņi nav atšķirti.
The bellows blow fiercely. The lead is consumed in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Tie top nosaukti par atmestu sudrabu, jo Tas Kungs tos ir atmetis.
Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”
