Ecechiela 17
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 Cilvēka bērns, liec Israēla namam mīklu priekšā un stāsti līdzību.
“Son of man, tell a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;
3 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.
and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers which had various colors, came to Lebanon and took the top of the cedar.
4 Viņš nolauza pašu virsgalu un to aiznesa uz vienu tirgoņu zemi un to iestādīja vienā tirgotāju pilsētā.
He cropped off the topmost of its young twigs, and carried it to a land of traffic. He planted it in a city of merchants.
5 Viņš paņēma arīdzan no tās zemes sēklas un lika to sējamā tīrumā, viņš to paņēma un stādīja kā vītolu pie liela ūdens.
“‘“He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fruitful soil. He placed it beside many waters. He set it as a willow tree.
6 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.
It grew and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him. So it became a vine, produced branches, and shot out sprigs.
7 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.
“‘“There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. Behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot out its branches toward him, from the ground where it was planted, that he might water it.
8 Gan tas bija dēstīts labā zemē pie liela ūdens, ka tam bija stīgas izlaist un augļus nest un palikt par it labu vīna koku.
It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might produce branches and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a good vine.”’
9 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.
“Say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Will it prosper? Won’t he pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, that it may wither, that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? It can’t be raised from its roots by a strong arm or many people.
10 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.
Yes, behold, being planted, will it prosper? Won’t it utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It will wither in the ground where it grew.”’”
11 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
12 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.
“Say now to the rebellious house, ‘Don’t you know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to him to Babylon.
13 Un viņš no ķēniņa dzimuma vienu ir ņēmis un ar to cēlis derību un tam licis zvērēt un atņēmis zemes varenos,
He took one of the royal offspring, and made a covenant with him. He also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land,
14 Lai tā valsts būtu zema un nepaaugstinātos, un lai tā derību turēdama pastāvētu.
that the kingdom might be brought low, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
15 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?
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Will he break the covenant, and still escape?
16 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.
“‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the middle of Babylon he will die.
17 Un Faraons karā viņam klāt nestāvēs ar lielu karaspēku un ar lielu pulku, kad uzmetīs valni un uztaisīs bulverķus, izdeldēt daudz dvēseles.
Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company won’t help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons.
18 Jo viņš nicinājis zvērestu un lauzis derību; redzi, jebšu viņš savu roku bija devis, tomēr viņš visu to ir darījis, tāpēc viņš neizglābsies.
For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things. He won’t escape.
19 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.
“Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘As I live, I will surely bring on his own head my oath that he has despised and my covenant that he has broken.
20 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.
I will spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
21 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.
All his fugitives in all his bands will fall by the sword, and those who remain will be scattered toward every wind. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken it.’
22 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,
“The Lord GOD says: ‘I will also take some of the lofty top of the cedar, and will plant it. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
23 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.
I will plant it in the mountain of the height of Israel; and it will produce boughs, and bear fruit, and be a good cedar. Birds of every kind will dwell in the shade of its branches.
24 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.
All the trees of the field will know that I, the LORD, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish. “‘I, the LORD, have spoken and have done it.’”
