Jeremiah 40

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were carried away captive to Babylon.

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.

2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, Jehovah thy God pronounced this evil upon this place,

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

3 and Jehovah has brought it, and done according as he spoke. Because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come upon you.

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.

4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which are upon thy hand. If it seem good to thee to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will look well to thee, but if it seems ill to thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear. Behold, all the land is before thee, where it seems good and right to thee to go, there go.

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.

5 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back then to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people, or go wherever it seems right to thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.

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.

6 Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people who were left in the land.

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

7 Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and sons, and of the poorest of the land, of those who were not carried away captive to Babylon,

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,

8 then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, namely, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

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.

9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

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.

10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come to us. But ye, gather ye wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.

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.

11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,

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,

12 then all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered very much wine and summer fruits.

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.

13 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

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

14 and said to him, Do thou know that Baalis the king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take thy life? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.

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.

15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it. Why should he take thy life, that all the Jews who are gathered to thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?

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?

16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shall not do this thing, for thou speak falsely of Ishmael.

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