Ezekiel 20
1 On the tenth day of the fifth month of the seventh year, some of the elders of Israel came to ask advice from the Lord, and they sat down with me.
Un notikās septītā gadā, piektā mēnesī, desmitā mēneša dienā, tad nāca vīri no Israēla vecajiem, To Kungu vaicāt, un apsēdās manā priekšā.
2 Then a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
3 “Son of man, tell these elders of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Have you come to ask my advice? As I live, I'm not going to answer you, declares the Lord God.
Cilvēka bērns, runā uz Israēla vecajiem un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: vai jūs esat nākuši, Mani vaicāt? Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Es negribu, ka jūs Mani vaicājiet.
4 Are you going to condemn them—will you do that, son of man? Remind them about the disgusting things their forefathers did,
Vai tu tos gribi tiesāt? Vai tu gribi tiesāt, cilvēka bērns? Tad stāsti tiem viņu tēvu negantības!
5 and then tell them that this is what the Lord God says: At the time I chose Israel, I held up my hand and made a solemn promise to Jacob's descendants and revealed myself to them when they were in Egypt. I held up my hand and told them, ‘I am the Lord your God.’
Un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tai dienā, kad Es Israēli izredzēju, tad Es pacēlu Savu roku pār Jēkaba nama dzimumu un tiem parādījos Ēģiptes zemē; Es pacēlu Savu roku pār tiem un sacīju: Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.
6 I promised them on that day to lead them out of Egypt and take them to a country that I had chosen for them, a land flowing with milk and honey—better than any other country.
Tai dienā Es pacēlu Savu roku pār tiem un tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes uz zemi, ko Es priekš viņiem biju izlūkojis, kur piens un medus tek, kas ir jaukāka pār visām zemēm.
7 I told them: ‘All of you have to get rid of your disgusting pagan images. Don't make yourselves unclean by worshiping the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’
Un Es uz tiem sacīju: atmetiet ikviens savu acu gānekļus no sevis nost un neapgānāties ar Ēģiptes elkiem; Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.
8 But they rebelled against me and wouldn't do what I told them. None of them got rid of their disgusting pagan images, and they didn't give up worshiping the idols of Egypt. So I warned them that I would punish them in my anger there in Egypt.
Bet tie bija stūrgalvīgi pret Mani un negribēja Mani klausīt; neviens neatmeta savu acu gānekļus un neatstājās no Ēģiptes elkiem. Tāpēc Es sacīju: Es pār tiem izgāzīšu Savu bardzību un izdarīšu pie tiem Savu dusmību pašā Ēģiptes zemē.
9 But I did act so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations living near them who had seen me reveal myself to Israel by leading them out of Egypt.
Bet es darīju sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš pagānu acīm, kuru vidū tie bija, priekš kuru acīm Es tiem biju parādījies, tos izvest no Ēģiptes zemes.
10 So I led them out of Egypt and took them into the wilderness.
Un Es tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes un tos vadīju tuksnesī.
11 There I gave them my laws and explained to them my regulations so that those who kept them would live.
Un Es tiem devu Savus likumus un tiem darīju zināmas tiesas, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo.
12 I also gave them my Sabbaths to be a sign between me and them, so that they would acknowledge that I am the Lord who makes them holy.
Es tiem arī devu Savas svētās dienas, ka tās būtu par zīmi starp Mani un viņiem, lai tie atzītu, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas tos svētī.
13 But the people of Israel rebelled against me in the desert, refusing to observe my laws and rejecting my regulations, even though they would have given them life. They violated my Sabbaths. So I warned them that I would punish them and wipe them out there in the desert.
Bet Israēla nams bija stūrgalvīgs pret Mani tuksnesī; tie nestaigāja Manos likumos un atmeta Manas tiesas, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo; un tie ļoti sagānīja Manas svētās dienas, tā ka Es sacīju: Es Savu bardzību pār tiem gribu izgāzt tuksnesī un tiem darīt galu.
14 But I still acted for them so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations who had seen me lead Israel out of Egypt.
Bet Es darīju Sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš to pagānu acīm, priekš kuru acīm Es tos biju izvedis.
15 So I held up my hand and vowed to them in the desert that I wouldn't take them into the land that I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey—better than any other country—
Un tomēr Es Savu roku pacēlu pret tiem tuksnesī, tos nevest tai zemē, ko Es tiem biju devis, kur piens un medus tek, kas ir jaukāka pār visām zemēm:
16 because they repeatedly rejected my regulations, refused to observe my laws, and violated my Sabbaths, and because they chose to continue worshiping idols.
Tādēļ ka tie atmeta Manas tiesas un nestaigāja Manos likumos un sagānīja Manas svētās dienas; jo viņu sirds dzinās pakaļ viņu elkiem.
17 Even so I was sorry for them and I didn't destroy them; I didn't wipe them out in the desert.
Bet Mana acs tos žēloja, ka Es tos nenomaitāju un tiem galu nedarīju tuksnesī.
18 I told their children in the desert: ‘Don't do what your fathers told you to do. Don't follow their practices. Don't make yourselves unclean by worshiping their idols.
Un Es sacīju uz viņu bērniem tuksnesī: nestaigājiet savu tēvu likumos un nesargājiet viņu tiesas un neapgānāties ar viņu elkiem,
19 I am the Lord your God. Do what I tell you to do. Follow my regulations and make sure to practice them.
Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs; staigājiet manos likumos un sargājiet manas tiesas un dariet tās.
20 Keep my Sabbaths holy so they may be a sign between me and you, so that you may acknowledge that I am the Lord your God.’
Un svētījiet manas svētās dienas, lai tās ir par zīmi starp mani un jums, un jūs samanāt, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.
21 But their children also rebelled against me. They didn't follow my laws and didn't keep my regulations, even though they would have given them life. They violated my Sabbaths. So I warned them that I would punish them in my anger there in the desert.
Bet arī tie bērni bija stūrgalvīgi pret Mani, tie nestaigāja Manos likumos un nesargāja Manas tiesas, tās nedarīdami, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo; tie sagānīja Manas svētās dienas, tā ka Es sacīju: Es Savu bardzību pār tiem gribu izgāzt un Savu dusmību pret tiem izdarīt tuksnesī.
22 But I held back and did what I did so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations who had seen me lead Israel out of Egypt.
Bet Es atturēju Savu roku Sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš to pagānu acīm, priekš kuru acīm Es tos biju izvedis.
23 However, I held up my hand and vowed to them in the desert that I was going to scatter them among the various countries of different nations.
Un taču Es pacēlu Savu roku pret tiem tuksnesī, tos izkaisīt starp tiem pagāniem un tos izputināt pa tām valstīm,
24 For they didn't keep my regulations, instead they rejected my laws and violated my Sabbaths, always looking to worship their fathers' idols.
Tādēļ ka tie Manas tiesas nebija darījuši, bet bija atmetuši Manus likumus un sagānījuši Manas svētās dienas un viņu acis dzinās pakaļ viņu tēvu elkiem.
25 I also let them follow the regulations they wanted that weren't good; laws that wouldn't help them live.
Tāpēc Es tiem arī devu likumus, kas nebija labi, un tiesas, caur ko tie nevarēja dzīvot.
26 I let them make themselves unclean by their offerings to idols, including their firstborn sons. I allowed this to happen so that they would be so appalled that they would acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Un Es tos sagānīju ar viņu dāvanām, caur to, ka tie ikvienai pirmdzimtībai lika caur uguni iet, lai Es tos nopostītu, lai tie samanītu, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.
27 So, son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: You're acting in exactly the same way your forefathers insulted me by being unfaithful to me.
Tādēļ cilvēka bērns, runā uz Israēla namu un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: jūsu tēvi Mani vēl ir zaimojuši, atkāpdamies no Manis.
28 After I led them into the land that I had promised to give them, on any high hill or under any leafy tree they saw there they offered their pagan sacrifices and presented offerings to idols that made me angry, burning their sweet-smelling incense and pouring out their drink offerings.
Kad Es tos biju novedis uz to zemi, par ko Savu roku biju pacēlis, viņiem to dot, tad tie izraudzījās ikkatru augstu pakalnu un ikkatru kuplu koku, un upurēja tur savus upurus un nonesa tur savas riebīgās dāvanas un kvēpināja tur savu saldo smaržu un upurēja turpat savus dzeramos upurus.
29 So I asked them: ‘What's this high place you're going to?’ (Even today it's still called Bamah.)
Un Es uz tiem sacīju: kas tas par kalnu, kurp jūs ejat? Bet šī vārds līdz šai dienai ir nosaukts elka kalns.
30 Therefore tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Are you going to make yourselves unclean like your forefathers, turning yourselves into prostitutes, acting the way they did with the same disgusting practices?
Tādēļ saki uz Israēla namu: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: jūs esat sagānījušies pa savu tēvu ceļiem un maukojušies viņu gānekļiem pakaļ.
31 When you present your offerings to idols and sacrifice your children in the fire, you continue to make yourselves unclean with all your idols right up until now. So should I give you advice when you ask me, people of Israel? As I live, declares the Lord God, I'm not going to answer you!
Tiešām, savas dāvanas upurēdami, saviem bērniem likdami caur uguni iet, jūs esat apgānījušies pie visiem saviem elkiem līdz šai dienai; vai Es no jums ļautos vaicāties, ak Israēla nams! Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, Es negribu, ka jūs Mani vaicājiet.
32 When you say to yourselves, ‘Let's be like the other nations, like people in other countries who worship idols made of wood and stone,’ what you're thinking is never going to happen.
Un kas jums prātā nācis, tas mūžam nenotiks, ka jūs sakāt: mēs turēsimies kā tās (pagānu) tautas un kā tās ciltis visās zemēs kalposim kokam un akmenim.
33 As I live, declares the Lord God, I will rule you with all my strength and power, and in my anger.
Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, ar stipru roku un izstieptu elkoni un ar izgāztu bardzību Es pār jums gribu valdīt.
34 With all my strength and power, and in my anger, I will lead you out from among the nations and gather you from the countries where you were scattered.
Es jūs izvedīšu no tām tautām un jūs sapulcināšu no tām valstīm, kurp esat izkaisīti, ar stipru roku un izstieptu elkoni un ar izgāztu bardzību.
35 I will bring you before me for judgment face to face in the desert of the nations.
Un Es jūs vedīšu uz tautu tuksnesi, un tur es ar jums tiesāšos vaigu vaigā.
36 In the same way I judged your forefathers in the Egyptian desert after I'd led them out of Egypt, so I will judge you, declares the Lord God.
Tā kā Es ar jūsu tēviem esmu tiesājies Ēģiptes zemes tuksnesī, tāpat Es ar jums tiesāšos, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
37 I will decide about you as you pass under the rod and see if you kept our solemn agreement.
Un Es jums likšu staigāt apakš rīkstes un jūs vedīšu derības saitēs.
38 I will get rid of those of you who rebel against me, those who sin against me. I will lead them out of the country where they're currently living, but they won't enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Un Es izmēzīšu no jums tos atkāpējus un atkritējus no Manis, un Es tos gan izvedīšu no tās zemes, kur piemita, bet uz Israēla zemi tie vairs nenāks, un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.
39 This is what the Lord God says to you, you people of Israel: All of you, go ahead and worship your idols. But after that if you don't listen to me you won't continue to disgrace me with your pagan offerings and idols.
Bet jūs no Israēla nama, tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: noejat, kalpojiet ikviens saviem elkiem! Bet pēclaikā, tad tiešām jūs Mani klausīsiet un vairs neapgānīsiet Manu svēto vārdu ar savām dāvanām un ar saviem elkiem.
40 For there on my holy mountain, Israel's high mountain, declares the Lord God, every single person in the whole country of Israel will worship me. That's where I'll accept them and will ask for your offerings and your best gifts, together with all your holy sacrifices.
Jo uz Mana svētā kalna, uz Israēla augstā kalna, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tur Man kalpos viss Israēla nams, visi, kas tanī zemē; tur man pie tiem būs labs prāts, un tur Es prasīšu jūsu cilājamos upurus un jūsu upuru pirmajus, ar visu, ko jūs Man svētījat.
41 When I bring you back from the nations and gather you from countries where you were scattered, I will accept you as a suitable offering to me. I will reveal my holiness through you so the nations can see.
Man būs labs prāts pie jums kā pie saldas smaržas, kad Es jūs no tām tautām izvedīšu un jūs sapulcināšu no tām valstīm, kur bijāt izkaisīti, un Es caur jums pagodināšos priekš pagānu acīm.
42 Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I bring you back to the country of Israel, the land that I promised to give your forefathers.
Un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es jūs ievedīšu Israēla zemē, tai zemē, par ko Es Savu roku esmu pacēlis, to dot jūsu tēviem.
43 That's where you will remember your bad ways and everything you've done to make yourselves unclean, and you will hate yourselves for the evil things you did.
Tad jūs tur pieminēsiet savus ceļus un visus savus darbus, ar ko jūs esat apgānījušies, un jums pašiem riebs visa jūsu bezdievība, ko esat darījuši.
44 Then you people of Israel will acknowledge that I am the Lord, because I have treated you well because of who I am, and not because of your evil ways and terrible things you've done, declares the Lord God.”
Tā jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es ar jums būšu darījis Sava vārda dēļ, ne pēc jūsu nikniem ceļiem un netikliem darbiem, ak Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
45 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
46 “Son of man, face towards the south and preach against it. Prophesy against the forest of the Negev.
Cilvēka bērns, griez savu vaigu pret dienvidiem, un lai (tava valoda) pil pret dienvidiem, un sludini pret to mežu dienvidu klajumā.
47 Tell the forest of the Negev: Listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord God says: I am going to set you on fire, and it will burn up all your trees, both those that are living and those that are dead. The blaze won't be put out, and everything from the north to the south will be burned.
Un saki uz to mežu dienvidos: klausi Tā Kunga vārdu! Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi Es iededzināšu uguni iekš tevis, un tas iekš tevis aprīs visus zaļos kokus un visus sausos kokus; tās varenās liesmas nevarēs izdzēst, un tā sadegs viss, kas ir no dienvidiem līdz ziemeļiem.
48 Then everyone will recognize that it was me, the Lord, who started the fire, and it won't be put out.”
Un visa miesa redzēs, ka Es Tas Kungs to esmu iededzinājis; tas netaps izdzēsts.
49 But then I said, “Oh no, Lord God! People already say, ‘He's just telling stories!’”
Un es sacīju: ak Kungs Dievs! Tie par mani saka: vai tas nav līdzības stāstītājs?
