Jeremijas 13

1 Tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej un pērc sev nātnu(linu) jostu un jozies ar to ap saviem gurniem, bet neliec to ūdenī.

Thus saith the Lord to me: Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and thou shalt put it about thy loins, and shalt not put it into water.

2 Tad es pirku jostu pēc Tā Kunga vārda un apjozos ar to ap saviem gurniem.

And I got a girdle accoding to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.

3 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani otru reiz un sacīja:

And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying:

4 Ņem to jostu, ko tu esi pircis, kas ap taviem gurniem, un celies, ej pie Eifrates un apslēp to tur kādā klints plaisumā.

Take the girdle which thou hast got, which is about thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

5 Un es gāju un to apslēpu pie Eifrates, kā Tas Kungs man bija pavēlējis.

And I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord had commanded me.

6 Tad pēc ilgāka laika Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: celies, ej pie Eifrates un ņem to jostu no turienes, ko Es tev esmu pavēlējis, tur apslēpt.

And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me: Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.

7 Tad es gāju pie Eifrates un raku un ņēmu to jostu no tās vietas, kur to biju apslēpis, un redzi, tā josta bija maitāta un nederēja vairs nekam.

And I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle out of the place where I had hid it: and behold the girdle was rotten, so that it was fit for no use.

8 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika un sacīja:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

9 Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpat Es maitāšu Jūda lepnību un Jeruzālemes lielo lepnību.

Thus saith the Lord: after this manner will I make the pride of Juda, and the great pride of Jerusalem to rot.

10 Šie niknie ļaudis, kas negrib klausīt Manus vārdus un staigā pēc savas sirds stūrgalvības un dzenās citiem dieviem pakaļ, viņiem kalpot un priekš viņiem klanīties, tie būs kā šī josta, kas nekam vairs neder.

This wicked people, that will not hear my words, and that walk in the perverseness of their heart, and have gone after strange gods to serve them, and to adore them: and they shall be as this girdle which is fit for no use.

11 Jo kā josta pieglaužas pie vīra gurniem, tā Es visu Israēla namu un visu Jūda namu esmu sev pieglaudījis, saka Tas Kungs, ka tie Man būtu par ļaudīm un par vārdu un par slavu un par godu, bet tie nav klausījuši.

For as the girdle sticketh close to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me all of the house of Israel, and all the house of Juda, saith the Lord: that they might be my people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

12 Tāpēc saki uz tiem šo vārdu: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: visi trauki top ar vīnu pildīti. Kad tie uz tevi sacīs: Vai tad mēs to nezinām, ka visi trauki ar vīnu top pildīti?

Thou shalt speak therefore to them this word: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Every bottle shall be filled with wine, and they shall say to thee: Do we not know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

13 Tad tev uz viņiem būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, visus šās zemes iedzīvotājus, un ķēniņus, kas uz Dāvida goda krēsla sēž, un priesterus un praviešus un visus Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus Es pildīšu ar reibumu.

And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings of the race of David that sit upon his throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. with drunkenness.

14 Un Es tos sadauzīšu vienu pret otru, tēvus un bērnus, visus kopā, saka Tas Kungs, Es nesaudzēšu un netaupīšu, nedz apžēlošos, ka Es tos neizdeldētu.

And I will scatter them every man from his brother, and fathers and sons in like manner, saith the Lord: I will not spare, and I will not pardon: nor will I have mercy, but to destroy them.

15 Klausiet un ņemiet vērā, nelepojaties, jo Tas Kungs to runājis.

Hear ye, and give ear: Be not proud, for the Lord hath spoken.

16 Dodiet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, godu, pirms tumsa metās, un pirms jūsu kājas piedauzās pie krēslības kalniem, un jūs uz gaismu gaidāt, bet Viņš to darīs par nāves ēnu un pārvērtīs par tumsību.

Give ye glory to the Lord your God, before it be dark, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains: you shall look for light, and he will turn it into the shadow of death, and into darkness.

17 Bet kad jūs to neklausīsiet, tad mana dvēsele raudās slepeni tādas lepnības dēļ. Un manas acis izlies gaužas asaras un asarām plūdīs, tādēļ ka Tā Kunga ganāmais pulks top aizvests cietumā.

But if you will not hear this, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride: weeping it shall weep, and my eyes shall run down the tears, because the flock of the Lord is carried away captive.

18 Saki uz ķēniņu un uz ķēniņieni: zemojaties, sēžaties zemē, jo viss jūsu galvas glītums, jūsu godības kronis, ir nokritis.

Say to the king, and to the queen: Humble yourselves, sit down: for the crown of your glory is come down from your head.

19 Pilsētas pret dienvidiem ir aizslēgtas, un nav, kas tās atver, visa Jūda cilts ir aizvesta, tā ir pavisam aizvesta.

The cities of the south are shut up, and there is none to open them: all Juda is carried away captive with an entire captivity.

20 Paceļat savas acis un raugāt, kas nāk no ziemeļiem. Kur ir tas ganāmais pulks, kas tev bija dots, tavas godības avis?

Lift up your eyes, and see, you that come from the north: where is the flock that is given thee, thy beautiful cattle?

21 Ko tu sacīsi, kad Viņš tev cels par galvu tos, ko tu sev pielabinājis par draugiem? Vai tad tevi sāpes nesagrābs, kā sievu, kas dzemdē?

What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee? for thou hast taught them against thee, and instructed them against thy own head: shall not sorrows lay hold on thee, as a woman in labour?

22 Kad tu tad savā sirdī sacīsi: Kāpēc man tas notiek? Tavu lielo noziegumu dēļ tavu drēbju vīles ir atsegtas un tavas kājas piesmietas.

And if thou shalt say in thy heart: Why are these things come upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity, thy nakedness is discovered, the soles of thy feet are defiled.

23 Vai Moru vīrs var savu ādu pārvērst jeb pardelis(leopards) savus raibumus? Tad arī jūs varētu labu darīt, kad esat ieraduši ļaunu darīt.

If the Ethiopian can change his skin, or the leopard his spots: you may also do well, when you have learned evil.

24 Tādēļ Es tos gribu izkaisīt kā pelavas, kas izput no tuksneša vēja.

And I will scatter them as stubble, which is carried away by the wind in the desert.

25 Šī būs tava daļa, tā tiesa, ko Es tev esmu nospriedis, saka Tas Kungs, tāpēc ka tu mani esi aizmirsusi un paļāvusies uz meliem.

This is thy lot, and the portion of thy measure from me, saith the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me, and hast trusted in falsehood.

26 Tad arī Es tavas drēbju vīles atsegšu pār tavu vaigu, ka tavs kauns top redzams.

Wherefore I have also bared my thighs against thy face, and thy shame hath appeared.

27 Jo Es esmu redzējis tavu laulības pārkāpšanu, tavu nešķīsto iekārošanu, tavu neganto maukošanu uz elku kalniem, laukā tavu negantību. Ak vai, tev, Jeruzāleme! Vai tad tu negribi palikt šķīsta, cik ilgi tas vēl būs?

I have seen thy adulteries, and thy neighing, the wickedness of thy fornication: and thy abominations, upon the hills in the field. Woe to thee, Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean after me: how long yet?
