Ecechiela 18
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Kāpēc jūs lietojiet šo sakāmo vārdu Israēla zemē un sakāt: tēvi ēduši skābas vīnogas un bērniem atmizējuši zobi.
What mean ye, that ye use this proverb in the country of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge?
3 Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, pie jums vairs nenotiks ka šo sakāmo vārdu lietos iekš Israēla.
As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, ye shall not have any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Redzi, visas dvēseles Man pieder; kā tēva dvēsele, tā arī dēla dvēsele, Man tās pieder. Kura dvēsele apgrēkojās, tā mirs.
Behold, all the souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son—mine are they: the soul which sinneth that alone shall die.
5 Kad nu kas ir taisns un dara, kas tiesa un taisnība,
But if a man be righteous, and execute justice and righteousness;
6 Kas neēd uz (elku)kalniem un nepaceļ savas acis uz Israēla nama elkiem, kas sava tuvāka sievu neapgāna un neguļ pie sārņainas sievas,
Upon the mountains he eateth not, and his eyes he lifteth not up to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he defileth not, and unto a woman in her separation he cometh not near;
7 Un kas nevienu nenospaida un parādniekam dod atpakaļ viņa ķīlu, kas nelaupa, bet izsalkušam dod maizes un apģērbj pliko ar drēbēm,
And he over-reacheth no man, he restoreth his pledge for a debt, a robbery he doth not commit, his bread he giveth to the hungry, and the naked he covereth with a garment;
8 Kas augļus nedzen nedz pagaidus plēš, savu roku izsargā no netaisnības un taisnu tiesu nes starp vienu un otru,
Upon interest he giveth not forth, and increase he doth not take, from wrong he withdraweth his hand, true judgment he executeth between man and man;
9 Kas staigā Manos likumos un sargā Manas tiesas, turēdams ticību, - tas ir taisns, tas dzīvos, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
In my statutes he walketh steadfastly, and my ordinances he keepeth to deal truly: he is righteous, he shall surely live, saith the Lord Eternal.
10 Bet ja tas dzemdinājis dēlu, kas ir laupītājs, kas asinis izlej, kas savam brālim dara vienu no šīm lietām,
If he [now] beget a dissolute son that sheddeth blood and doth to [his] brother any one of thee things;
11 Un kas nedara visas šīs lietas, bet ēd uz (elku)kalniem un apgāna sava tuvāka sievu,
And he is one that doth not any of these [duties]; but eateth even upon the mountains, and defileth the wife of his neighbor;
12 Kas nospaida nabagu un bēdīgo, laupa laupījumu, neatdod ķīlu un paceļ savas acis uz elkiem, dara negantību,
The poor and needy he over-reacheth, he is guilty of robberies, the pledge he restoreth not, and to the idols he lifteth up his eyes, abominations he committeth:
13 Izdod uz augļiem un plēš pagaidus, - vai tam būs dzīvot? Tam nebūs dzīvot; tāpēc ka tas ir darījis visas tādas negantības, mirtin tam būs mirt, - viņa asinis lai paliek uz viņa.
Upon interest he giveth forth, and increase he taketh: and he should live? he shall not live; all these abominations hath he done, he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
14 Bet redzi, ja tas dzemdinājis dēlu, kas redz visus tēva grēkus, ko tas dara, un bīstas un nedara tāpat,
And behold, if he beget a son, who seeth all the sins of his father which he hath done, and he considereth, and doth not the like of them;
15 Neēd uz (elku)kalniem un nepaceļ savas acis uz Israēla nama elkiem, neapgāna sava tuvākā sievu,
Upon the mountains he eateth not, and his eyes he lifteth not up to the idols of the house of Israel, the wife of his neighbor he defileth not;
16 Un nevienu nenospaida, ķīlu nepatur un laupījumu nelaupa, savu maizi dod izsalkušiem un pliko apģērbj ar drēbēm,
And he over-reacheth no man, a pledge he withholdeth not, and of a robbery he is never guilty, his bread he giveth to the hungry, and the naked he covereth with a garment;
17 Savu roku izsargā no netaisnības, neplēš augļus un pagaidus, dara Manas tiesas un staigā Manos likumos, tam nebūs mirt par sava tēva netaisnību, bet tiešām tam būs dzīvot.
From the poor he withdraweth his hand, interest and increase he taketh not: my ordinances he executeth; in my statutes he walketh: —he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
18 Bet viņa tēvs, tāpēc ka darījis varas darbu, laupījis brāļa mantu, un darījis savu ļaužu starpā, kas nebija labi, redzi, tam būs mirt par savu noziegumu.
His father, because he unjustly withheld [wages], was guilty of robbery on his brother, and did that which is not good in the midst of his people, —and lo, he died through his iniquity.
19 Bet jūs sakāt: Kāpēc dēlam nebūs nest sava tēva noziegumu? Tiešām, dēls, kas darījis tiesu un taisnību, turējis visus Manus likumus un tos darījis, tam tiešām būs dzīvot! Tai dvēselei, kas grēko, tai būs mirt.
Yet say ye, Why doth not the son bear part of the iniquity of the father? when the son hath executed justice and righteousness, all my statutes hath he kept, and hath done them: he shall surely live.
20 Dēlam nebūs nest tēva noziegumu, nedz tēvam nest dēla noziegumu, uz taisna paliks viņa taisnība, un uz bezdievīga paliks viņa bezdievība.
The soul that sinneth, she alone shall die; the son shall not help to bear the iniquity of the father and the father shall not help to bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 Bet kad bezdievīgais atgriežas no visiem saviem grēkiem, ko tas darījis, un tur visus Manus likumus un dara, kas tiesa un taisnība, tad tas tiešām dzīvos un nemirs.
And the wicked, when he turneth away from all his sins that he hath committed, and keepeth all my statutes, and executeth justice and righteousness, shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 Visi viņa grēki, ko viņš darījis, viņam netaps pieminēti; savas taisnības dēļ, ko viņš dara, viņš dzīvos.
All his transgressions which he hath committed shall not be remembered unto him: through his righteousness which he hath done shall he live.
23 Vai Man bezdievīgā nāve varētu patikt? saka Tas Kungs Dievs, vai Man nepatīk, ka viņš atgriežas no sava ceļa un dzīvo?
Have I then the least pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Eternal: and not in his turning away from his ways, that he may live?
24 Bet kad taisnais nogriežas no savas taisnības un dara netaisnību un dara visu negantību, ko bezdievīgais dara, vai tam būs dzīvot? Visa viņa taisnība, ko viņš darījis, netaps pieminēta tās pārkāpšanas dēļ, ar ko viņš pārkāpis, un to grēku dēļ, ar ko viņš apgrēkojies, viņš mirs.
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth wrong, and doth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? all his righteousness that he hath done shall not he remembered: through his trespass which he hath committed, and through his sin that he hath done, —through them shall he die.
25 Bet jūs sakāt: Tā Kunga ceļš nav taisns. Klausiet tad, jūs no Israēla nama! Vai Mans ceļš nav taisns? Vai jo vairāk jūsu ceļi nav netaisni?
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable: hear now, O house of Israel, Is not my way equitable? is it not your ways which are not equitable?
26 Kad taisnais nogriežas no savas taisnības un dara netaisnību un mirst tās dēļ, tad viņš mirst tās netaisnības dēļ, ko viņš darījis.
When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and doth wrong, and dieth therefore: through his wrong which he hath done must he die.
27 Bet kad bezdievīgais atgriežas no savas bezdievības, ko viņš darījis, un dara, kas tiesa un taisnība, tas paturēs savu dvēseli dzīvu.
Again, when the wicked turneth away from his wickedness which he hath committed, and executeth justice and righteousness: he shall indeed preserve his soul alive.
28 Tāpēc ka viņš liek vērā un atgriežas no visiem saviem grēkiem, ko viņš darījis, tad viņš tiešām dzīvos, viņš nemirs.
Because he hath considered, and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Un tomēr Israēla nams saka: Tā Kunga ceļš nav taisns. Vai Mani ceļi, ak Israēla nams, nav taisni? Vai jo vairāk jūsu ceļi nav netaisni?
Yet say the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equitable: are not my ways equitable, O house of Israel? is it not your ways which are not equitable?
30 Tādēļ Es jūs tiesāšu, jūs no Israēla nama, ikvienu pēc viņa ceļiem, saka Tas Kungs Dievs. Atgriežaties un griežaties atpakaļ no visiem saviem pārkāpumiem, ka noziegums jums nepaliek par valgu.
Therefore will I judge you, every one according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal: return ye, and cause others to return from all your transgressions, that iniquity may not become your stumbling-block.
31 Atmetiet nost no sevis visus savus pārkāpumus, ar ko jūs esat pārkāpuši, un dariet sev jaunu sirdi un jaunu garu. Jo kāpēc jūs gribat mirt, jūs no Israēla nama?
Cast away from yourselves all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 Jo Man nav patikšanas pie mirēja nāves, saka Tas Kungs Dievs. Tāpēc atgriežaties un dzīvojiet.
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that deserveth to die, saith the Lord Eternal: therefore convert yourselves, and live.
