Ecechiela 18
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,
2 Kāpēc jūs lietojiet šo sakāmo vārdu Israēla zemē un sakāt: tēvi ēduši skābas vīnogas un bērniem atmizējuši zobi.
"What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth 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, says the LORD, you shall not have occasion 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.
Look, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.
5 Kad nu kas ir taisns un dara, kas tiesa un taisnība,
"But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
6 Kas neēd uz (elku)kalniem un nepaceļ savas acis uz Israēla nama elkiem, kas sava tuvāka sievu neapgāna un neguļ pie sārņainas sievas,
and has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbor's wife, neither has come near to a woman in her impurity,
7 Un kas nevienu nenospaida un parādniekam dod atpakaļ viņa ķīlu, kas nelaupa, bet izsalkušam dod maizes un apģērbj pliko ar drēbēm,
and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
8 Kas augļus nedzen nedz pagaidus plēš, savu roku izsargā no netaisnības un taisnu tiesu nes starp vienu un otru,
he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
9 Kas staigā Manos likumos un sargā Manas tiesas, turēdams ticību, - tas ir taisns, tas dzīvos, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live," says the LORD.
10 Bet ja tas dzemdinājis dēlu, kas ir laupītājs, kas asinis izlej, kas savam brālim dara vienu no šīm lietām,
"If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
11 Un kas nedara visas šīs lietas, bet ēd uz (elku)kalniem un apgāna sava tuvāka sievu,
and who does not any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
12 Kas nospaida nabagu un bēdīgo, laupa laupījumu, neatdod ķīlu un paceļ savas acis uz elkiem, dara negantību,
has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
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.
has given forth on interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be on him.
14 Bet redzi, ja tas dzemdinājis dēlu, kas redz visus tēva grēkus, ko tas dara, un bīstas un nedara tāpat,
"Now, look, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father's sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not such like;
15 Neēd uz (elku)kalniem un nepaceļ savas acis uz Israēla nama elkiem, neapgāna sava tuvākā sievu,
who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
16 Un nevienu nenospaida, ķīlu nepatur un laupījumu nelaupa, savu maizi dod izsalkušiem un pliko apģērbj ar drēbēm,
neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked 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.
who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; 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.
As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, look, he shall die in 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 you say, 'Why doesn't the son bear the iniquity of the father?' When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has 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 who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on 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.
"But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he 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.
None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall 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 any pleasure in the death of the wicked?" says the LORD; "and not rather that he should return from his way, and 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 turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in 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 you say, "The way of the LORD is not just." Hear now, house of Israel: "Is my way not just? Aren't your ways unjust?"
26 Kad taisnais nogriežas no savas taisnības un dara netaisnību un mirst tās dēļ, tad viņš mirst tās netaisnības dēļ, ko viņš darījis.
When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it; in his iniquity that he has done shall 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 man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save 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 considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has 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 the house of Israel says, "The way of the LORD is not just." "House of Israel, aren't my ways just? Aren't your ways unjust?"
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 I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,' says the LORD. 'Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
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 you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, 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 who dies,' says the LORD: 'therefore turn yourselves, and live.'"
