< Jeremiah 3 >

1 “It is commonly said: ‘If a man has divorced his wife, and she departs from him, she will marry another man.’ So why would he return to her again? Is not that woman polluted and defiled? But you have fornicated yourself with many lovers. Even so, return to me, says the Lord, and I will accept you.
Un Viņš saka: kad vīrs atstumj savu sievu, un tā aiziet no viņa un ņem citu vīru, vai tas viņu atkal drīkst pieņemt? Vai tāda zeme netaptu ļoti sagānīta? Bet tu ar daudz drauģeļiem esi maucību dzinusi un griezies atkal pie Manis, saka Tas Kungs.
2 Lift your eyes straight up, and see where you did not debase yourself. You were sitting in the roadways, waiting for them, like a robber in the wilderness. And you have polluted the land by your fornications and by your wickedness.
Pacel savas acis uz tiem elku kalniem un skaties: kur tu neesi tapusi apsmieta! Tu viņu dēļ esi ceļmalā sēdējusi kā Arābs tuksnesī; tā tu zemi esi sagānījusi ar savu maucību un ar savu blēdību.
3 For this reason, the rain showers were withheld, and there were no late season rains. You made your face like that of a promiscuous woman; you were not willing to blush.
Tādēļ agrais lietus top aizturēts, un vēlais lietus nenāk. Bet tev ir maukas piere, tu negribi kaunēties.
4 Therefore, at least from this moment on, call out to me: ‘You are my father, the guide of my virginity.’
Un taču no šī laika tu Mani piesauci: mans Tēvs! Tu esi manas jaunības draugs!
5 Why should you be angry unceasingly? And will you continue in this to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done evil, for you were able to do so.”
Vai Viņš vienmēr dusmosies, vai Viņš bardzību turēs mūžīgi? Redzi, tā tu runā un dari ļaunu cik spēdama.
6 And, in the days of king Josiah, the Lord said to me: “Have you not seen what the apostate Israel has done? She has brought herself up to every lofty mountain, and she has lain down under every leafy tree, and she has committed fornication there.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani ķēniņa Josijas dienās: Vai esi redzējis, ko Israēla cilts atkāpdamās darījusi? Viņa gāja uz ikkatru elka kalnu un apakš visiem zaļiem kokiem un tur maukoja.
7 And when she had done all these things, I said: ‘Return to me.’ But she did not return. And her deceitful sister Judah saw this:
Un Es sacīju, kad tā visu to bija darījusi, atgriezies pie Manis; bet tā neatgriezās; un to redzēja viņas māsa, tā neuzticīgā Jūda cilts.
8 that because the apostate Israel had committed adultery, I had dismissed her and had given her a bill of divorce. Yet her deceitful sister Judah was not afraid. But she, too, went and committed fornication herself.
Un Es redzēju, lai gan Es tādēļ, ka tā pārkāpēja Israēla cilts laulību bija pārlauzusi, viņu biju atstājis un tai devis šķiršanās grāmatu, ka tomēr viņas māsa, neuzticīgā Jūda cilts, nebijās, bet nogāja un dzina pati arīdzan maucību.
9 And by the act of her fornication, she defiled the land. For she committed adultery with that which is stone and wood.
Un ar savas maucības slavu tā ir sagānījusi zemi, jo tā lauza laulību ar akmeņiem un kokiem.
10 And after all these things, her deceitful sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but with lies, says the Lord.”
Un pie visa tā arī viņas māsa, neuzticīgā Jūda cilts, pie Manis nav atgriezusies no visas savas sirds, bet ar viltu, saka Tas Kungs.
11 And the Lord said to me: “The apostate Israel has justified her own soul by comparing herself to the deceitful Judah.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: Israēla cilts, tā atkāpēja, izturas taisnāki, nekā neuzticīgā Jūda cilts.
12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and you shall say: Return, O apostate Israel, says the Lord. For I will not avert my face from you. For I am holy, says the Lord, and I will not be angry forever.
Ej un sauc šos vārdus pret ziemeļa pusi un saki: atgriezies, Israēla cilts, tu atkāpēja, saka Tas Kungs, tad Es Savu dusmību negriezīšu uz tevi. Jo Es esmu žēlīgs, saka Tas Kungs, Es negribu mūžīgi dusmoties.
13 So then, truly acknowledge your iniquity, that you have betrayed the Lord your God, and that you have spread your ways to strangers, under every leafy tree, and that you have not listened to my voice, says the Lord.
Atzīsti tikai savu noziegumu, ka tu esi apgrēkojusies pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, un šurp turp esi skraidījusi pie svešiem, apakš ikkatra zaļa koka, bet Manai balsij jūs neesat paklausījuši, saka Tas Kungs.
14 Convert, O rebellious sons, says the Lord. For I am your leader. And so, I will take you, one from a city, and two from a family, and I will lead you into Zion.
Atgriežaties, atkāpēji bērni, saka Tas Kungs, - jo Es jūs esmu precējis un jūs uzņemšu, vienu no pilsētas un divas no cilts, un Es jūs vedīšu uz Ciānu.
15 And I will give you pastors according to my own heart. And they will feed you with knowledge and doctrine.
Un Es jums došu ganus pēc Mana prāta, un tie jūs ganīs ar ziņu un prātu.
16 And when you have been multiplied and increased in the land in those days, says the Lord, they will no longer say: ‘The Ark of the covenant of the Lord!’ And it will not enter into the heart, and they will not call it to mind. It will neither be visited, nor made use of, any longer.
Un notiks, kad jūs vairosities un būsiet auglīgi tai zemē tanīs dienās, saka Tas Kungs, tad vairs nesacīs: „Tā Kunga derības šķirsts“un tas arī vairs prātā nenāks un to arī vairs nepieminēs nedz meklēs nedz to atkal uztaisīs.
17 In that time, Jerusalem will be called: ‘The Throne of the Lord.’ And all the nations will be gathered to it, in the name of the Lord, in Jerusalem. And they will not walk after the depravity of their own most wicked heart.
Tanī laikā Jeruzāleme taps nosaukta: „Tā Kunga goda krēsls“, un pie viņas visi pagāni taps sapulcināti, tādēļ ka Tā Kunga vārds ir Jeruzālemē; un tie nestaigās vairs pēc savas niknās sirds domām.
18 In those days, the house of Judah will go to the house of Israel, and they will come from the land of the north, at the same time, to the land that I gave to your fathers.
Tanīs dienās Jūda nams ies pie Israēla nama, un tie nāks kopā no ziemeļu zemes uz to zemi, ko es jūsu tēviem esmu devis par mantību.
19 But I said: How shall I place you among the sons, and distribute to you a desirable land, the preeminent inheritance of the host of the Gentiles? And I said: You will call me Father, and you will not cease to walk after me.
Es gan sacīju: kā Es tevi stādīšu starp tiem bērniem un tev došu jauku zemi, visglītāko mantību starp tautu glītumiem! Un sacīju: „Mans Tēvs!“jūs Mani sauksiet un no Manis neatkāpsities.
20 But, in the same way that a woman spurns her lover, so also has the house of Israel spurned me, says the Lord.”
Patiesi, tā kā sieva savam draugam ir neuzticīga, tā jūs esat bijuši neuzticīgi pret Mani, jūs no Israēla nama, saka Tas Kungs.
21 A voice has been heard in the highways, the weeping and wailing of the sons of Israel. For they have made their own ways sinful; they have forgotten the Lord their God.
Balss taps dzirdēta uz kalniem, Israēla bērnu raudāšana un žēlošanās, ka tie pārgrozījuši savu ceļu un aizmirsuši To Kungu, savu Dievu.
22 “Convert, O rebellious sons! And I will heal your rebelliousness.” “Behold, we are returning to you. For you are the Lord our God!
Atgriežaties, atkāpēji bērni, Es jūsu atkāpšanos dziedināšu. Redzi, mēs nākam pie Tevis, jo Tu, Kungs, esi mūsu Dievs.
23 Truly, the hills were liars, with the multitude of the mountains. Truly, the salvation of Israel is in the Lord our God.
Patiesi, tas ir viltus ar tiem pakalniem un ar visiem tiem kalniem; patiesi, pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, ir Israēla pestīšana.
24 Confusion has devoured the labor of our fathers, from our youth, with their flocks and their herds, with their sons and their daughters.
Jo tas kauna darbs ir apēdis mūsu tēvu pūliņu no mūsu jaunības, viņu avis un viņu vēršus, viņu dēlus un viņu meitas.
25 We will sleep in our confusion, and our disgrace will cover us. For we have sinned against the Lord our God: we and our fathers, from our youth, even to this day. And we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.”
Mēs guļam savā kaunā, un mūsu negods mūs apklāj. Jo mēs esam grēkojuši pret To Kungu, savu Dievu, mēs un mūsu tēvi no savas jaunības līdz šai dienai, un neesam klausījuši uz Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi.
