Jeremiah 51
1 The LORD says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es celšu maitātāja garu pret Bābeli un pret tiem, kas dzīvo Manu pretinieku serdē.
2 I will send to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her. They will empty her land; for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
Un Es sūtīšu Bābelei vētītājus, kas tos vētīs un iztukšos viņas zemi, jo tie būs visapkārt ap viņu nelaimes dienā.
3 Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow, also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail. Do not spare her young men! Utterly destroy all her army!
Lai strēlnieks stopu uzvelk pret strēlnieku un pret to, kas lepojās savās krūšu bruņās. Un nežēlojiet viņas jaunekļus, izdeldiet visu viņas spēku,
4 They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
Ka nokauti krīt Kaldeju zemē un nodurti pa viņas ielām.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, by the LORD of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
Jo Israēls un Jūda savā atraitnībā netaps pamesti no sava Dieva, Tā Kunga Cebaot, jebšu viņu zeme noziegusies pret to Svēto iekš Israēla.
6 “Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Everyone save his own life! Do not be cut off in her iniquity, for it is the time of the LORD’s vengeance. He will render to her a recompense.
Bēdziet no Bābeles un izglābiet ikviens savu dvēseli, ka neejat bojā viņas noziegumā, jo šis ir Tā Kunga atriebšanas laiks, Viņš tai atmaksā algu.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, who made all the earth drunk. The nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.
Bābele bija zelta biķeris Tā Kunga rokā, kas piedzirdināja visu pasauli; tautas dzēra no viņas vīna, tāpēc tautas palika trakas.
8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed! Wail for her! Take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may be healed.
Bābele ir piepeši kritusi un satriekta. Kauciet par viņu, ņemiet zāles viņas vātīm, varbūt tā taps dziedināta.
9 “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let’s each go into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
Mēs Bābeli dziedinājām, bet tā nav sadzijusi. Atstājiet viņu, un ejam ikviens uz savu zemi, jo viņas sodība iet līdz pat debesīm un aizsniedz padebešus.
10 ‘The LORD has produced our righteousness. Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.’
Tas Kungs ir gaismā nesis mūsu taisnību, nāciet, lai izteicam Ciānā Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, darbu.
11 “Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! The LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
Trinat bultas, sagrābiet bruņas; Tas Kungs pamodinājis Mēdiešu ķēniņu sirdi, jo Viņa padoms ir pret Bābeli, to samaitāt; jo šī ir Tā Kunga atriebšana, atriebšana Viņa nama dēļ.
12 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
Izceļat karogu uz Bābeles mūriem, vairojiet sargāšanu, ieceļat sargus, liekat karotājus slepenās vietās; jo Tas Kungs ir ko apņēmies un darīs arīdzan, ko Viņš runājis pret Bābeles iedzīvotājiem.
13 You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
Tu, kas pie tā lielā ūdens dzīvo, kam daudz mantas, tavs gals nācis, un tavas mantas kārības mērs ir pilns.
14 The LORD of Armies has sworn by himself, saying, ‘Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they will lift up a shout against you.’
Tas Kungs Cebaot ir zvērējis pie Savas dvēseles: “Lai gan Es tevi esmu pildījis ar cilvēkiem kā ar siseņiem; tomēr pret tevi dziedās prieka dziesmu.”
15 “He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
Kas zemi radījis ar Savu spēku, kas pasauli iztaisījis ar Savu gudrību un debesis izpletis ar Savu saprašanu.
16 When he utters his voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
Kad viņa balss atskan, tad ūdeņi krāc debesīs; Viņš liek miglai celties no zemes galiem. Viņš dara zibeņus ar lietu un liek vējam ārā nākt no savām alām.
17 “Every man has become stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image, for his molten images are falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Visi cilvēki paliek stulbi bez saprašanas, visi kausētāji top kaunā ar saviem tēliem; jo ko tie lej, ir meli, un dvašas tur nav.
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
Tie ir nelietība un apsmejams darbs, piemeklēšanas laikā tie iet bojā.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he formed all things, including the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies is his name.
Tā kā šie nav Jēkaba daļa, jo viņš ir visu lietu un savas tautas Radītājs, Kungs Cebaot ir viņa vārds.
20 “You are my battle ax and weapons of war. With you I will break the nations into pieces. With you I will destroy kingdoms.
Tu esi Mans veseris, Manas kara bruņas, un caur tevi Es sadauzu tautas, un caur tevi Es maitāju valstis,
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider.
Un caur tevi Es sadauzu zirgu un viņa jātnieku, un caur tevi Es sadauzu ratus un braucējus.
22 With you I will break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein. With you I will break in pieces man and woman. With you I will break in pieces the old man and the youth. With you I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin.
Un caur tevi Es sadauzu vīrus un sievas, un caur tevi Es sadauzu vecus un jaunus, un caur tevi Es sadauzu jaunekļus un jaunietes.
23 With you I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock. With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke. With you I will break in pieces governors and deputies.
Un caur tevi Es sadauzu ganu un viņa ganāmo pulku, caur tevi Es sadauzu arāju un viņa jūgu, un caur tevi Es sadauzu kungus un valdniekus.
24 “I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,” says the LORD.
Bet Bābelei un visiem Kaldeju zemes iedzīvotājiem Es atmaksāšu pēc visas viņu bezdievības, ko tie darījuši pie Ciānas priekš jūsu acīm, saka Tas Kungs.
25 “Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says the LORD, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burned mountain.
Redzi, saka Tas Kungs, Es celšos pret tevi, maitātāja kalns, kas visu pasauli samaitā, un Es izstiepšu Savu roku pret tevi un tevi novelšu no taviem akmeņu kalniem, un darīšu tevi par degošu kalnu,
26 They will not take a cornerstone from you, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever,” says the LORD.
Ka no tevis nevar ņemt nedz stūra akmeni nedz pamata akmeni, jo tu būsi par mūžīgu posta vietu, saka Tas Kungs.
27 “Set up a standard in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations against her! Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz! Appoint a marshal against her! Cause the horses to come up as the swarming locusts!
Izceļat karogu virs zemes, bazūnējat ar bazūnēm starp tautām, sataisiet tautas uz karu pret viņu, aicinājiet pret viņu Ararata, Meni un Aškenasa valstis, ieceļat kara virsnieku pret viņu, atvediet zirgus kā briesmīgus siseņus;
28 Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
Sataisiet tautas uz karu pret viņu, Medijas ķēniņus, viņas valdniekus un visus viņas lielkungus un visas viņu valstis!
29 The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
Tad zeme drebēs un trīcēs, jo Tā Kunga domas pret Bābeli piepildās, darīt Bābeles zemi par posta vietu bez iedzīvotāja.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting, they remain in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire. Her bars are broken.
Bābeles varenie mitējušies karot, tie paliek stiprās pilīs, viņu vara ir izsīkusi, tie ir tapuši par bābām, viņas māju vietas iededzinātas, viņas aizšaujamie salauzti.
31 One runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
Bēglis tek bēglim pretī un vēstnesis vēstnesim, un stāsta Bābeles ķēniņam, ka viņa pilsēta ieņemta no visām pusēm,
32 So the passages are seized. They have burned the reeds with fire. The men of war are frightened.”
Un ka braslas ieņemtas, un dīķi ugunī nodeguši, un karavīri noguruši.
33 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden. Yet a little while, and the time of harvest comes for her.”
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Bābeles meita ir kā klons kuļamā laikā; vēl maķenīt, tad viņai nāks pļaujamais laiks.
34 “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me. He has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has, like a monster, swallowed me up. He has filled his mouth with my delicacies. He has cast me out.
Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, mani aprijis, viņš mani sadauzījis, viņš mani darījis par tukšu trauku, viņš mani aprijis kā pūķis, viņš savu vēderu pildījis ar maniem gardumiem, viņš mani aizdzinis.
35 May the violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon!” the inhabitant of Zion will say; and, “May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!” will Jerusalem say.
Tas varas darbs, kas man un manai miesai darīts, lai nāk pār Bābeli, tā lai saka Ciānas iedzīvotāja, un manas asinis lai nāk pār Kaldejas iedzīvotājiem, tā lai saka Jeruzāleme.
36 Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
Tādēļ Tas Kungs tā saka: “Redzi, Es tiesāšu tavu lietu un tevi atriebšu, un Es viņas jūrai likšu izsīkt un viņas avotiem izžūt.
37 Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Un Bābele taps par akmeņu kopu, par šakāļu mājokli, par tuksnesi un par apsmieklu, bez iedzīvotāja.
38 They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions’ cubs.
Tie kopā rūks kā lauvas un ņurdēs kā jauni lauvas.
39 When they are inflamed, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the LORD.
Kad tie būs iekarsēti, tad es tiem celšu priekšā viņu dzērienu un tos piedzirdināšu, ka tie bļaustīsies, bet aizmigsies uz mūžīgu miegu un ne mūžam vairs neuzmodīsies,” saka Tas Kungs.
40 “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
“Es tos vedīšu kā jērus pie kaušanas, kā aunus ar āžiem.
41 “How Sheshach is taken! How the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
Kā Šešaks tā ir ieņemts un pasaules slava tā pārvarēta! Kā Bābele ir tapusi par biedēkli starp tautām!
42 The sea has come up on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
Jūra ir plūdusi pār Bābeli, un ar viņas viļņu pulku tā ir apklāta.
43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.
Viņas pilsētas palikušas par tuksnesi, par izkaltušu sausu zemi, par zemi, kur neviens nedzīvo, kur cilvēka bērns nestaigā.
44 I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.
Un Es piemeklēšu Belu Bābelē un izraušu no viņa rīkles, ko viņš ierijis, un tautas vairs netecēs pie viņa, jo arī Bābeles mūri ir krituši.
45 “My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from the LORD’s fierce anger.
Izejiet, Mani ļaudis, no viņas vidus, un izglābiet ikviens savu dvēseli no Tā Kunga bardzības karstuma.
46 Do not let your heart faint. Do not fear for the news that will be heard in the land. For news will come one year, and after that in another year news will come, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
Un jūsu sirds lai netop bailīga, un neizbīstaties no tās baumas, kas tai zemē taps dzirdēta; jo bauma nāks vienā gadā, un pēc tam cita bauma otrā gadā, un varas darbs būs tai zemē, valdnieks pret valdnieku.
47 Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded. All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
Tāpēc redzi, nāk dienas, tad Es piemeklēšu Bābeles dievekļus, un visa viņas zeme taps kaunā un visi viņas nokautie gulēs viņas vidū.
48 Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says the LORD.
Un par Bābeli gavilēs debesis un zeme, un viss, kas tur ir, ka no ziemeļa puses pār viņu nāk postītāji, saka Tas Kungs.
49 “As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.
Un kā Bābele gāzusi Israēla nokautos, tā Bābelē kritīs visas zemes nokautie.
50 You who have escaped the sword, go! Do not stand still! Remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.”
Jūs no zobena izglābtie, ejat un nestāviet! Pieminiet To Kungu tālā zemē un turat Jeruzālemi savā sirdī.
51 “We are confounded because we have heard reproach. Confusion has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.”
Mēs esam palikuši kaunā, jo mēs esam dzirdējuši apsmieklu; kauns ir apklājis mūsu vaigu, tāpēc ka sveši nākuši pār Tā Kunga nama svētumu.”
52 “Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.
“Tāpēc redzi, nāk dienas,” saka Tas Kungs, “tad Es piemeklēšu viņas dievekļus, un visā viņas zemē vaidēs nāvīgi ievainotie.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says the LORD.
Jebšu Bābele kāptu debesīs un stiprinātu savu varu augstībā, tad tomēr postītāji no Manis nāks pār viņu,” saka Tas Kungs.
54 “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Kliegšanas balss ir dzirdama no Bābeles un liels posts no Kaldejas.
55 For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.
Jo Tas Kungs izposta Bābeli un iznīcina no tās to lielo troksni, jo viņu viļņi kauc kā vareni ūdeņi, viņu varenais troksnis skan.
56 For the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for the LORD is a God of retribution. He will surely repay.
Jo postītājs nāk pār viņu, pār Bābeli, un viņas varenie top gūstīti, viņu stopi top salauzti. Jo Tas Kungs ir Dievs, tas atmaksātājs, atmaksādams viņš atmaksā.
57 I will make her princes, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk. They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
“Un Es piedzirdināšu viņas lielkungus un viņas gudros, viņas valdniekus un viņas virsniekus un viņas varoņus, un tie gulēs mūžīgu miegu un neuzmodīsies,” saka tas ķēniņš, kam vārds ir Kungs Cebaot.
58 The LORD of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burned with fire. The peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”
Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: “Platie Bābeles mūri visai(pilnīgi) taps nopostīti, un viņas augstie vārti ar uguni sadedzināti, tā ka tautas velti strādājušas, un ļaudis ugunij par labu pūlējušies.”
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster.
Šis ir tas vārds, ko pravietis Jeremija pavēlēja Serajam, Nerijas dēlam, Mazejas dēla dēlam, kad šis ar Cedeķiju, Jūda ķēniņu, gāja uz Bābeli, viņa valdīšanas ceturtā gadā, un Seraja bija tas ceļa lielkungs.
60 Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
Un Jeremija rakstīja visu to ļaunumu, kam bija nākt pār Bābeli, grāmatā, visus šos vārdus, kas rakstīti pret Bābeli.
61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
Un Jeremija sacīja uz Seraju: “Kad tu nonāksi Bābelē, tad pielūko un lasi visus šos vārdus,
62 and say, ‘LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it will be desolate forever.’
Un saki: ak Kungs, Tu pret šo vietu esi runājis, ka to gribi izdeldēt, tā ka tur vairs nepaliek iedzīvotāju, ne cilvēku ne lopu, bet ka tai jāpaliek par mūžīgu posta vietu.
63 It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of the Euphrates.
Un kad tu šo grāmatu esi izlasījis, tad piesien pie tās akmeni un iemet to Eifrat upē,
64 Then you shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
Un saki: tāpat Bābele nogrims un nenāks vairs augšā aiz tās nelaimes, ko Es pār viņu vedīšu, un tie nogurs.” Tik tālu Jeremijas vārdi.
