< Ecechiela 14 >
1 Un pie manis atnāca kādi Israēla vecaji un apsēdās manā priekšā.
Some elders of Israel arrived and sat down with me.
2 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
3 Cilvēka bērns, šie vīri savus elkadievus uzņēmuši savā sirdī un to, kas viņus apgrēcina, cēluši priekš savām acīm; vai tad tādiem bija Mani jautāt?
“Son of man, these men are worshiping idols in their minds even though they know this will lead them to sin. Why should I respond to their requests?
4 Tādēļ runā ar tiem un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: ikviens no Israēla nama, kas savā sirdī uzņem elkudievus un ceļ priekš savām acīm, kas viņus apgrēcina, un nāk pie pravieša, - tad Es Tas Kungs viņam atbildēšu pēc viņu elkadievu pulka,
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: When the people of Israel worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin, and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will give them an answer appropriate to their many idols.
5 Lai Es Israēla namam sirdi aizgrābju, jo tie visi no Manis ir atkāpušies caur saviem elkadieviem.
Like this I might have the people of Israel decide to recommit themselves to me. Right now, because of their idols, all of them treat me as their enemy.
6 Tāpēc saki uz Israēla namu: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: atgriežaties un nogriežaties no saviem elkadieviem un nogriežat savu vaigu no visām savām negantībām.
So tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Repent! Give up worshiping your idols Stop all your disgusting practices.
7 Jo ikviens no Israēla nama un no tiem svešiniekiem, kas Israēla starpā dzīvo, kas no Manis atkāpjas un uzņem savus elkadievus savā sirdī un ceļ priekš savām acīm, kas viņus apgrēcina, un nāk pie pravieša caur viņu Mani vaicāt, - Es esmu Tas Kungs, - tam no Manis kļūs atbilde,
When the people of Israel or foreigners living with them worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself.
8 Un Es celšu Savu vaigu pret šo vīru un to likšu par zīmi un sakāmu vārdu un to izdeldēšu no viņa ļaužu vidus, un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.
I will oppose anyone who does this and make any example of them that others will talk about. I will remove them from among my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
9 Kad nu kāds pravietis pievilsies un kaut ko runās, šim pravietim Es, Tas Kungs, atkal likšu pievilties, un izstiepšu Savu roku pret viņu un to izdeldēšu no Savu Israēla ļaužu vidus.
But if the prophet is deceived into giving a message, it was I the Lord who deceived him to do this. I will still reach out and destroy that prophet from my people Israel.
10 Tā tie nesīs savu noziegumu; kā tā vaicātāja noziegums būs, tāpat būs tā pravieša noziegums,
They will be responsible for the punishment they receive, as will those who believe in these prophets will receive the same punishment.
11 Lai Israēla nams no Manis vairs nenomaldās un vairs neapgānās ar visiem saviem pārkāpumiem; tad tie Man būs par ļaudīm, un Es tiem būšu par Dievu, saka Tas Kungs, Dievs.
This is so that the people of Israel won't abandon me anymore and won't make themselves unclean with all their sins. Then they will be my people and I will be their God, declares the Lord God.”
12 Atkal Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
A message from the Lord came to me again, saying,
13 Cilvēka bērns, kad kāda zeme pret Mani apgrēkojās un no Manis atkāpjas, tad Es izstiepšu Savu roku pret viņu un viņai atņemšu maizes padomu un tai sūtīšu badu un izdeldēšu no tās cilvēkus un lopus.
“Son of man, if a people in a country sin against me by being unfaithful to me, then I will act against them by cutting off their food supply, so they experience famine, with no food for people or animals.
14 Jebšu šie trīs vīri, Noa, Daniēls un Ījabs būtu viņas vidū, tad tie caur savu taisnību tikai izglābtu savas dvēseles, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job, these three men, were present their good lives would only save themselves, declares the Lord God.
15 Un ja Es sūtītu niknus zvērus tai zemē, ka tā paliktu bez ļaudīm un par tuksnesi un to zvēru dēļ neviens tur nestaigātu,
I could send wild animals rampaging through the country, so they would leave it uninhabited and desolate, a place no one would travel through for fear of such animals.
16 Un šie trīs vīri būtu viņas vidū, - tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tie neizglābtu nedz dēlus nedz meitas; tie paši vien izglābtos, bet tā zeme paliktu par tuksnesi.
As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves, but the land would be left desolate.
17 Jeb kad Es zobenu sūtītu pār šo zemi un sacītu: zoben, ej pa to zemi! Un Es no tās izdeldētu cilvēkus un lopus,
I could bring war to that country and say, ‘Have a sword cut through it,’ so that I destroy both people and animals.
18 Jebšu tie trīs vīri būtu viņas vidū, tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tie neizglābtu nedz dēlus nedz meitas, bet paši vien izglābtos.
As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves.
19 Jeb kad Es mēri sūtītu šai zemē, un pār to izgāztu savu bardzību ar asinīm, un izdeldētu no tās cilvēkus un lopus,
I could send a disease on that country and because of my anger I would kill many, both people and animals.
20 Jebšu Noa, Daniēls un Ījabs būtu viņas vidū, tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tie neizglābtu nedz dēlus nedz meitas, bet caur savu taisnību tie izglābtu tikai savu dvēseli.
As I live, declares the Lord God, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were present, they couldn't save their sons or daughters. Their good lives would only save themselves.
21 Bet tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: jebšu Es pret Jeruzālemi sūtīšu Savas četras sodības, zobenu un badu un niknus zvērus un mēri, un izdeldēšu cilvēkus un lopus no turienes,
This is what the Lord God says: It will be so much worse when I send my four severe judgments against Jerusalem—war, famine, wild animals, and disease, so that both people and animals are killed!
22 Tomēr redzi, tur atliks kādi izglābti, kas taps izvesti, dēli un meitas; redzi, tie nāks pie jums, un jūs redzēsiet, kā tiem klājās un ko tie dara, un tapsiet iepriecināti pār to ļaunumu, ko Es esmu vedis pār Jeruzālemi ar visu to citu, ko Es pār to esmu vedis.
Even so a few of them will survive, some sons and daughters who will be taken captive. They will be brought to you in Babylon, and when you realize what they did and how they acted, you will understand why I had to bring such a disaster down on Jerusalem—everything I did to it.
23 Tie jūs iepriecinās, kad jūs redzēsiet, kā tiem klājās un ko tie dara, un jūs redzēsiet, ka Es neesmu darījis bez iemesla, ko Es tur esmu darījis, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
Realizing what they did and how they acted will help you to see that I had good reasons to do everything I did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord God.”
