Nehemiah 9
1 Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, with sackcloth, and dirt on them.
Un tā paša mēneša divdesmit ceturtā dienā Israēla bērni sapulcējās, gavēdami un maisos un ar zemi uz galvām.
2 The offspring of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
Un Israēla dzimums šķīrās no visiem svešiniekiem, un tie stāvēja un sūdzēja savus grēkus un savu tēvu noziegumus.
3 They stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed and worshiped the LORD their God.
Un tie cēlās no savas vietas un vienu cēlienu tie lasīja Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, bauslības grāmatā, un vienu cēlienu tie sūdzēja (savus grēkus) un pielūdza To Kungu, savu Dievu.
4 Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani of the Levites stood up on the stairs, and cried with a loud voice to the LORD their God.
Un augstā levitu vietā stāvēja: Ješuūs un Banus, Kadmiēls, Šebanija, Bunus, Šerebija, Banus un Kenanus, un sauca ar stipru balsi uz To Kungu, savu Dievu.
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting! Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise!
Un tad sacīja tie leviti Ješuūs un Kadmiēls, Banus, Azabenija, Šerebija, Hodija, Šebanija, Petahja: ceļaties, teiciet To Kungu, savu Dievu, mūžīgi mūžam. Un lai slavēts top Tavas godības vārds, kas ir augstāks pār visu slavu un teikšanu.
6 You are the LORD, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.
Tu esi tas vienīgais Kungs, Tu esi darījis debesis un debesu debesis un visu viņu spēku, zemi un visu, kas zemes virsū, jūru un visu, kas iekš tās, un Tu dari šo visu dzīvu un debesu spēks klanās Tavā priekšā.
7 You are the LORD, the God who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, gave him the name of Abraham,
Tu esi Tas Kungs un Dievs, kas Ābramu izredzējis un viņu izvedis no Ura Kaldejā un viņam devis vārdu Ābrahāmu.
8 found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his offspring, and have performed your words, for you are righteous.
Un Tu viņa sirdi esi atradis uzticīgu Sava vaiga priekšā, un ar viņu esi cēlis derību, viņam dot Kanaāniešu, Hetiešu, Amoriešu un Fereziešu un Jebusiešu un Ģirgoziešu zemi, to dot viņa dzimumam; un Tu Savu vārdu stipri esi turējis, tāpēc ka Tu esi taisns.
9 “You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea,
Un Tu esi redzējis mūsu tēvu bēdas Ēģiptes zemē un viņu brēkšanu klausījis pie Niedru jūras,
10 and showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is today.
Un esi zīmes un brīnumus darījis pie Faraona un pie visiem viņa kalpiem un pie visiem viņa zemes ļaudīm. Jo Tu zināji, ka tie pret tiem bijuši pārgalvīgi, un Tu Sev esi darījis slavu, tā kā šodien.
11 You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.
Un jūru Tu esi dalījis viņu priekšā, ka tie pa jūras vidu ir gājuši sausumā; un kas viņiem pakaļ dzinās, tos Tu esi iemetis dziļumos, tā kā akmeni stipros ūdeņos.
12 Moreover, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.
Un dienā Tu tos esi vadījis ar padebeša stabu un naktī ar uguns stabu, viņiem gaišu darīdams ceļu, kur tiem bija jāiet.
13 “You also came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments,
Un Tu esi nolaidies uz Sinaī kalnu un no debesīm ar tiem runājis un tiem devis taisnas tiesas, īstenu bauslību, labus likumus un baušļus.
14 and made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,
Un savu svēto dusas dienu Tu tiem esi darījis zināmu, un baušļus un iestādījumus un bauslību tiem esi pavēlējis caur Mozu, Savu kalpu.
15 and gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought water out of the rock for them for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.
Un maizi Tu tiem esi devis no debesīm, kad tie bija izsalkuši, un ūdeni tiem izvedis no klints, kad tie bija izslāpuši, un esi uz tiem sacījis, lai ieiet un iemanto to zemi, pār ko Tu Savu roku pacēli, viņiem to dot.
16 “But they and our fathers behaved proudly, hardened their neck, did not listen to your commandments,
Bet šie, mūsu tēvi, turējušies pārgalvīgi un viņu kakls palika stīvs, un tie nav klausījuši Taviem baušļiem,
17 and refused to obey. They were not mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and did not forsake them.
Un ir liegušies klausīt un nav pieminējuši Tavus brīnumus, ko Tu tiem esi darījis, bet tie palikuši stūrgalvīgi un cēluši virsnieku, iet atpakaļ uz savu kalpošanu, dumpinieki būdami. Bet Tu Dievs žēlotājs, žēlīgs un sirdsžēlīgs, lēnprātīgs un no lielas žēlastības, Tu tos neesi atstājis.
18 Yes, when they had made themselves a molded calf, and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed awful blasphemies,
Jebšu tie arī taisīja lietu teļu un sacīja: šis ir tavs dievs, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, - un tevi gauži kaitināja,
19 yet you in your manifold mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud did not depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither did the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.
Tomēr pēc Savas lielās sirdsžēlastības Tu tos neesi atstājis tuksnesī, tas padebeša stabs neatstājās no tiem dienā, tos vezdams pa ceļu, nedz tas uguns stabs naktī, tiem spīdēdams uz ceļa, kur tie gāja.
20 You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
Un Tu esi devis Savu labo Garu, tos pamācīt, un to mannu Tu neesi atrāvis no viņu mutes, un tiem ūdeni esi devis, kad tie bija izslāpuši.
21 “Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes did not grow old, and their feet did not swell.
Tā Tu tos tuksnesī esi uzturējis četrdesmit gadus, tiem nekāds trūkums nav bijis, viņu drēbes nav palikušas vecas un viņu kājas nav uztūkušas.
22 Moreover you gave them kingdoms and peoples, which you allotted according to their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
Un Tu tiem esi devis ķēniņu valstis un ļaudis, un tos esi nošķīris šurp un turp. Tā tie ir iemantojuši Sihona zemi un Hešbonas ķēniņa zemi un Basanas ķēniņa Oga zemi.
23 You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said to their fathers that they should go in to possess it.
Un viņu bērnus Tu esi vairojis kā debess zvaigznes un tos ievedis tai zemē, par ko Tu viņu tēviem esi sacījis, ka tie ieies, to iemantot.
24 “So the children went in and possessed the land; and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they pleased.
Tā tie bērni tur ir iegājuši un to zemi iemantojuši, un Tu esi pazemojis tās zemes iedzīvotājus, tos Kanaāniešus, viņu priekšā un nodevis viņu rokās viņu ķēniņus un tās zemes ļaudis, lai ar tiem dara pēc sava prāta.
25 They took fortified cities and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness.
Un tie ir uzņēmuši stipras pilsētas un treknu zemi un iemantojuši namus, visāda labuma pilnus, izcirstas akas, vīna dārzus un eļļas dārzus un daudz augļu kokus, un tie ir ēduši un paēduši un tauki palikuši, un ir priecājušies caur Tavu lielo labdarīšanu.
26 “Nevertheless they were disobedient and rebelled against you, cast your law behind their back, killed your prophets that testified against them to turn them again to you, and they committed awful blasphemies.
Bet tie ir palikuši pārgalvīgi un Tev turējušies pretī un atmetuši Tavu bauslību un nokāvuši Tavus praviešus, kas pret tiem liecināja, lai pie Tevis atgriežas, un tie ir padarījuši lielas apkaitināšanas.
27 Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hands of their adversaries.
Tāpēc Tu tos esi devis viņu naidnieku rokā, kas tos spaidījuši. Bet tiem savu spaidu laikā uz Tevi brēcot, Tu esi dzirdējis no debesīm un pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas Tu tiem esi devis pestītājus, kas tos izpestīja no viņu naidnieku rokas.
28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before you; therefore you left them in the hands of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your mercies,
Bet kad tiem bija miers, tad tie atkal darīja ļaunu Tava vaiga priekšā; tā Tu tos atstāji viņu ienaidnieku rokā, un tie pār viņiem valdīja. Kad tie nu atgriezās un uz Tevi brēca, tad Tu tos esi klausījis no debesīm un tos dažu reizi izpestījis pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas.
29 and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they were arrogant, and did not listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened their neck, and would not hear.
Un Tu tiem esi devis liecību, lai tie atgriežas pie Tavas bauslības. Bet tie bija pārgalvīgi un neklausīja Taviem baušļiem un grēkoja pret Tavām tiesām, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur to dzīvo, un tie Tev griezuši muguru un savu kaklu darījuši stīvu un nav klausījuši.
30 Yet many years you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not listen. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
Un Tu uz tiem esi gaidījis daudz gadus un tiem liecinājis caur Savu Garu, caur Saviem praviešiem: bet tie neatgrieza savas ausis. Tāpēc Tu tos esi nodevis pasaules tautu rokā.
31 “Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.
Tomēr pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas Tu tos neesi pavisam iznīcinājis nedz tos atstājis; jo Tu esi žēlīgs un sirdsžēlīgs Dievs.
32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, do not let all the travail seem little before you that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, on our priests, on our prophets, on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
Un nu mūsu Dievs, Tu stiprais, lielais, varenais un bijājamais Dievs, kas tur derību un sirds žēlastību, - lai Tev nešķiet maza visa šī grūtība, kas mums uzgājusi mūsu ķēniņiem, mūsu lielkungiem un mūsu priesteriem un mūsu praviešiem un mūsu tēviem un visiem Taviem ļaudīm, no Asīrijas ķēniņa laika līdz šai dienai.
33 However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly.
Tomēr Tu esi taisns iekš visa, kas mums uznācis, jo Tu esi uzticīgi darījis; bet mēs esam darījuši bezdievīgi.
34 Also our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified against them.
Un mūsu ķēniņi, mūsu lielkungi, mūsu priesteri un mūsu tēvi nav turējuši Tavu bauslību un nav vērā ņēmuši Tavas pavēles un Tavas liecības, ko Tu tiem liecinājis.
35 For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them. They did not turn from their wicked works.
Jo tie Tev nav kalpojuši savā valstī un iekš Tava lielā labuma, ko Tu tiem biji devis, un tai plašā treknā zemē, ko Tu priekš viņiem biji nolicis, un nav atgriezušies no saviem ļauniem darbiem.
36 “Behold, we are servants today, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, behold, we are servants in it.
Redzi, mēs šodien esam kalpi; arī tai zemē, ko Tu mūsu tēviem esi devis, viņas augļus un viņas labumu ēst, - redzi, iekš tās mēs esam kalpi.
37 It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. Also they have power over our bodies and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
Un viņas augļi vairojās priekš tiem ķēniņiem, ko Tu pār mums esi iecēlis mūsu grēku dēļ, un tie valda pār mūsu miesām un pār mūsu lopiem pēc savas patikšanas. Tā mēs esam lielās bēdās.
38 Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal it.”
Un pēc visa tā mēs cēlām taisnu derību un to uzrakstījām; un mūsu lielkungi, mūsu leviti un mūsu priesteri to apzieģelēja.
