Ezekiel 17
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
2 “Son of man, present this riddle—share it as a parable with the people of Israel.
Cilvēka bērns, liec Israēla namam mīklu priekšā un stāsti līdzību.
3 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: There was a great eagle that had large wings, long feathers, and multi-colored plumage. It came to Lebanon and took off the top of the cedar.
Un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: liels ērglis ar lieliem spārniem, ar stipriem locekļiem un kuplām raibām spalvām nāca uz Lībanu un paņēma ciedra koka galotni.
4 He broke off its highest branch and took it to a country of merchants, and planted it in a city of traders.
Viņš nolauza pašu virsgalu un to aiznesa uz vienu tirgoņu zemi un to iestādīja vienā tirgotāju pilsētā.
5 He took some of the seed of the land and planted it in good soil beside a large river where he could grow it like a willow.
Viņš paņēma arīdzan no tās zemes sēklas un lika to sējamā tīrumā, viņš to paņēma un stādīja kā vītolu pie liela ūdens.
6 The seed sprouted and grew into a low, spreading vine, with its branches facing toward him, and its roots went down into the ground beneath. So the vine developed, growing leaves and branches.
Un tā izplauka un palika par kuplu vīna koku ar zemu augumu, jo viņa stīgas locījās uz viņu, un viņa sakne bija apakš viņa; tā viņš tapa par vīna koku, kas izlaida stīgas un dabūja zarus.
7 But there was another great eagle that had large wings and many feathers. This vine sent out its roots toward him. It stretched out its branches to him from where it had been planted, wanting him to water it.
Un vēl viens ērglis bija ar lieliem spārniem un kuplām spalvām, un redzi, tas vīna koks locīja savas saknes uz viņu un izstiepa savus zarus pret viņu, ka viņš šo slacinātu no sava stādījuma dobēm.
8 Yet it had been planted in good soil beside a large river so it could grow strong, produce fruit, and become a superb vine.
Gan tas bija dēstīts labā zemē pie liela ūdens, ka tam bija stīgas izlaist un augļus nest un palikt par it labu vīna koku.
9 So you tell them this is what the Lord God says: ‘Will it grow well? Won't it be uprooted and its fruit ripped off so that it withers? All its leaves will dry up. You wouldn't need strong arms or lots of people to pull it up by its roots.
Saki tad: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: vai tam labi izdosies? Vai viņa saknes netaps izrautas un viņa augļi nogriezti, ka sakalst un visas viņa zaļās lapas savīst? Un tas nenotiks caur lielu elkoni nedz caur lielu ļaužu pulku, ka to izcels no viņa saknēm.
10 Even if it's transplanted, is it going to survive? Won't it wither up completely when the east wind blows? In fact, it will wither right where it was planted.”
Redzi jel! Viņš gan ir dēstīts, bet vai tam labi izdosies? Vai tas, kad rīta vējš to aizskars, kaltin nenokaltīs? Uz tām dobēm, kur tas dēstīts, tas nokaltīs.
11 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
12 “Tell these rebellious people: ‘Don't you know what this riddle means?’ Explain to them, ‘Look, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, made its king and officials his prisoners, and took them back with him to Babylon.
Saki jel uz to atkāpēju sugu: vai jūs nezināt, kas tas ir? Saki: redzi, Bābeles ķēniņš ir nācis uz Jeruzālemi un paņēmis viņas ķēniņu līdz ar viņas lielkungiem un tos aizvedis pie sevis uz Bābeli.
13 He made an agreement with one of the royal family and made him take an oath that he would be a loyal subject as king. Then he took into exile the country's leaders,
Un viņš no ķēniņa dzimuma vienu ir ņēmis un ar to cēlis derību un tam licis zvērēt un atņēmis zemes varenos,
14 so that the kingdom would be kept in subjection and wouldn't be strong enough to rebel—it would only survive by keeping its agreement with him.
Lai tā valsts būtu zema un nepaaugstinātos, un lai tā derību turēdama pastāvētu.
15 However, this king did rebel against Babylon, and sent ambassadors to Egypt to ask for help by supplying horses and many soldiers. Will he do well? Would someone who acts like this succeed? Could he break an agreement and not be punished?’
Bet tas no viņa atkāpās un sūtīja savus vēstnešus uz Ēģipti, lai tam sūtītu zirgus un ļaužu pulku. Vai tam izdosies? Vai tas izglābsies, kas to dara? Vai derības lauzējs izglābsies?
16 As I live, declares the Lord God, ‘he is going to die in Babylon, in the country of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he disregarded and whose agreement he broke.
Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tā ķēniņa zemē, kas viņu darījis par ķēniņu, kam zvērestu viņš nicinājis un kam derību viņš lauzis, pie tā viņš nomirs Bābelē.
17 Pharaoh with his powerful army of many soldiers won't help him in battle, when attack ramps are piled up and siege walls built and many people end up being killed.
Un Faraons karā viņam klāt nestāvēs ar lielu karaspēku un ar lielu pulku, kad uzmetīs valni un uztaisīs bulverķus, izdeldēt daudz dvēseles.
18 He disregarded his oath by breaking the agreement. Because he shook hands as a sign of the promise he made, yet rebelled in this way, he won't go unpunished!’
Jo viņš nicinājis zvērestu un lauzis derību; redzi, jebšu viņš savu roku bija devis, tomēr viņš visu to ir darījis, tāpēc viņš neizglābsies.
19 So this is what the Lord God says: As I live, I will punish him for disregarding my oath and for breaking my agreement.
Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, Es Savu zvērestu, ko viņš nicinājis, un Savu derību, ko viņš lauzis, gribu mest uz viņa galvu.
20 I will throw my net over him and catch him; I will trap in my snare. I will take him to Babylon and sentence him to punishment there for his treason towards me.
Un Es Savu tīklu izpletīšu pār viņu, ka viņš Manos valgos taps gūstīts, un Es viņu likšu novest uz Bābeli un tur ar viņu tiesāšos par viņa atkāpšanos, ka viņš no Manis atkāpies.
21 All his best soldiers will be killed in battle, and those who do survive will be scattered in all directions. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken.
Un visi viņa bēgļi ar visiem viņa piederīgiem kritīs caur zobenu, un tie atlikušie taps izkaisīti visos vējos, un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es, Tas Kungs, to esmu runājis.
22 This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to break off a branch from the high top of the cedar, and I will plant it on the top of a high mountain.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Es ņemšu no tā augstā ciedra koka galotnes, un to stādīšu, no paša viņa virsgala es ņemšu zariņu, un to dēstīšu ļoti augstā kalnā,
23 I will plant it on Israel's high mountain so that it can grow branches, produce fruit and become a magnificent cedar. All kinds of birds will live in it, nesting in the shade of its branches.
Israēla augstā kalnā Es to stādīšu, un viņš izlaidīs zarus un nesīs augļus un taps par krāšņu ciedra koku, tā ka apakš viņa dzīvos visādi putni no visādām spalvām; viņa zaru pavēnī tie dzīvos.
24 All the trees in the countryside will know that I am the Lord. I can bring down the tall and have the low tree grow tall. I can make the green tree dry up, and make the withered tree become green again. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it.”
Un visi koki laukā samanīs, ka Es, Tas Kungs, to augsto koku esmu pazemojis un to zemo koku paaugstinājis, to zaļo koku kaltējis un to sakaltušo koku darījis zaļojam. Es, Tas Kungs, to esmu runājis un to darīšu.
