Nechemijas 9
1 Un tā paša mēneša divdesmit ceturtā dienā Israēla bērni sapulcējās, gavēdami un maisos un ar zemi uz galvām.
On the twenty-fourth day of this same month, the Israelites met together, fasting and wearing sackcloth, with dust on their heads.
2 Un Israēla dzimums šķīrās no visiem svešiniekiem, un tie stāvēja un sūdzēja savus grēkus un savu tēvu noziegumus.
Those of Israelite ancestry separated themselves from the foreigners, and stood to confess their sins and those of their forefathers.
3 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.
They spent three hours standing there reading the Book of the Law of the Lord their God, and another three hours confessing their sins and worshiping the Lord their God.
4 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.
The Levites stood on the stage and called out loudly to the Lord their God. (Their names were Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani.)
5 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.
Then the Levites announced: “Stand up and praise the Lord your God who lives eternally: ‘May who you are and your glory be blessed, and may you be lifted up above all blessing and praise.’” (The names of the Levites were Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah.)
6 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.
They prayed, “Only you are the Lord. It was you who made the sky, the heavens with all their stars, the land and everything on it, the seas and everything in them. You give life to all of them, and all the heavenly beings worship you.
7 Tu esi Tas Kungs un Dievs, kas Ābramu izredzējis un viņu izvedis no Ura Kaldejā un viņam devis vārdu Ābrahāmu.
You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram, who led him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham.
8 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.
You knew he would be faithful to you, and made an agreement with him to give him and his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. You kept your promise, because you do what is right.
9 Un Tu esi redzējis mūsu tēvu bēdas Ēģiptes zemē un viņu brēkšanu klausījis pie Niedru jūras,
You saw how much our forefathers were suffering in Egypt. You heard their cries for help at the Red Sea.
10 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.
You performed miraculous signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all his officials, and all his people of his land, for you recognized how arrogantly they treated our forefathers. You created a wonderful reputation for yourself that people still recognize to this day.
11 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.
You split the sea apart in front of them so that they could walk through it on dry ground. But you threw their pursuers into the depths of the sea, like stones thrown into raging waters.
12 Un dienā Tu tos esi vadījis ar padebeša stabu un naktī ar uguns stabu, viņiem gaišu darīdams ceļu, kur tiem bija jāiet.
You led them with a column of cloud during the day, and a column of fire at night, showing them the way which they should go.
13 Un Tu esi nolaidies uz Sinaī kalnu un no debesīm ar tiem runājis un tiem devis taisnas tiesas, īstenu bauslību, labus likumus un baušļus.
You descended on Mount Sinai. You spoke to them from heaven. You gave them right ways to live, true laws, and good regulations and commandments.
14 Un savu svēto dusas dienu Tu tiem esi darījis zināmu, un baušļus un iestādījumus un bauslību tiem esi pavēlējis caur Mozu, Savu kalpu.
You explained your holy Sabbath to them. You gave them commandments and regulations and laws through your servant Moses.
15 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.
When they were hungry you gave them bread from heaven, and when they were thirsty you brought water out of the rock for them. You told them to go and take ownership of the land which you had sworn to give them.
16 Bet šie, mūsu tēvi, turējušies pārgalvīgi un viņu kakls palika stīvs, un tie nav klausījuši Taviem baušļiem,
But they and our forefathers acted arrogantly and became stubborn, and didn't pay attention to your commands.
17 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.
They refused to listen to you, and forgot about all the miracles you did for them. They became obstinate and decided to choose themselves a leader to take them back to slavery in Egypt. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and merciful, slow to get angry, and full of trustworthy love. You did not give up on them,
18 Jebšu tie arī taisīja lietu teļu un sacīja: šis ir tavs dievs, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, - un tevi gauži kaitināja,
even when they made themselves a metal calf and said, ‘This is your god who led you out of Egypt,’ and committed terrible blasphemies.
19 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.
But you because you are so merciful didn't abandon them in the desert. The column of cloud didn't stop guiding them during the day, and the column of fire continued to light their way at night.
20 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.
You gave your good Spirit to teach them. You did not stop feeding them with your manna, and you gave them water when they were thirsty.
21 Tā Tu tos tuksnesī esi uzturējis četrdesmit gadus, tiem nekāds trūkums nav bijis, viņu drēbes nav palikušas vecas un viņu kājas nav uztūkušas.
You took care of them for forty years in the desert. Their clothes didn't wear out, they didn't want for anything. Their feet didn't even swell up!
22 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.
You gave them kingdoms and nations; you assigned their borders. They took control of the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon, and of Og, king of Bashan.
23 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.
You made their descendants as countless as the stars of heaven, and led them to the land you had promised their fathers they would enter and possess.
24 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.
Their descendants went in and took over the land. Right in front of them you conquered the Canaanites who lived there, handing over their kings and people so they could do with them whatever they wanted.
25 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.
They captured fortified cities and fertile land. They took over houses full of valuable things, water cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, and many fruit trees. They ate until they were full, and grew fat. They were so happy at how good you were to them.
26 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.
But they completely rebelled against you. They tossed your Law over their shoulders. They killed your prophets who warned them to try and bring them back to you, and they committed terrible blasphemies.
27 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.
So you handed them over to their enemies who treated them badly. In their suffering they cried out to you for help. But you heard their cries from heaven, and because you're so merciful you sent them leaders to save them from their enemies.
28 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.
However, as soon as they had peace, they went back to doing evil in your sight. So once more you handed them over to their enemies, who dominated them. They came back to you, and they cried out to you again. But you heard from heaven once more, and you saved them time and again because you are so merciful.
29 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.
You warned them to come back to your Law, but they were arrogant. They ignored your commands, and sinned against your rules, which, as you previously said, ‘If people obey they will live by them.’ They obstinately turned their backs on you and refused to listen.
30 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.
You were patient with them for many years. You warned them by your Spirit through your prophets, but they didn't listen, so you handed them over to the other nations.
31 Tomēr pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas Tu tos neesi pavisam iznīcinājis nedz tos atstājis; jo Tu esi žēlīgs un sirdsžēlīgs Dievs.
But because of your wonderful mercy you did not finish with them, and you did not abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
32 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.
So now, our God, the great and powerful and awesome God who keeps his agreement of trustworthy love, please don't see as unimportant all the hardships that have happened to us, and to our kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our forefather and all your people, from the time of the Assyrian kings of Assyria up till now.
33 Tomēr Tu esi taisns iekš visa, kas mums uznācis, jo Tu esi uzticīgi darījis; bet mēs esam darījuši bezdievīgi.
But you have done what is right regarding everything that has happened to us. You have always acted faithfully, while we have done so much evil.
34 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.
Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our forefathers did not follow your Law, and they ignored your commands and regulations you ordered them to keep.
35 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.
But they, even during the time they had their own kingdom, with so many blessings you had given them in the wide and fertile land you had provided for them, even then they refused to serve you and would not turn from their evil ways.
36 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.
Look at us now, slaves in the land you gave our forefathers to enjoy its fruit and all its good things. Look at us slaves here!
37 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.
The rich harvests of this land go to the kings you have placed over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and our cattle, doing whatever they want. We are suffering so much!”
38 Un pēc visa tā mēs cēlām taisnu derību un to uzrakstījām; un mūsu lielkungi, mūsu leviti un mūsu priesteri to apzieģelēja.
In response the people declared, “Considering all this, we are making a solemn agreement, putting it in writing. It is sealed by our leaders, Levites, and priests.”
