Ecechiela 18
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
The word of Jehovah 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 mean ye, that ye 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, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye 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.
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son, is mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
5 Kad nu kas ir taisns un dara, kas tiesa un taisnība,
But if a man be just, and do 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,
if he eat not upon the mountains, and lift not up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and defile not his neighbor's wife, and come not near a woman during her uncleanness;
7 Un kas nevienu nenospaida un parādniekam dod atpakaļ viņa ķīlu, kas nelaupa, bet izsalkušam dod maizes un apģērbj pliko ar drēbēm,
if he oppress not any, if he restore to the debtor his pledge, spoil none by violence, give his bread to the hungry, and cover 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,
if he give not forth upon usury, and take not increase; if he withdraw his hand from iniquity, and give true judgment between man and man;
9 Kas staigā Manos likumos un sargā Manas tiesas, turēdams ticību, - tas ir taisns, tas dzīvos, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
if he walk in my statutes and keep my commandments, to deal uprightly, —he is just; he shall surely live, saith the Lord Jehovah.
10 Bet ja tas dzemdinājis dēlu, kas ir laupītājs, kas asinis izlej, kas savam brālim dara vienu no šīm lietām,
But if he have a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth to his brother any of these things,
11 Un kas nedara visas šīs lietas, bet ēd uz (elku)kalniem un apgāna sava tuvāka sievu,
and doeth not all those duties, but eateth upon the mountains, and defileth his neighbor's wife,
12 Kas nospaida nabagu un bēdīgo, laupa laupījumu, neatdod ķīlu un paceļ savas acis uz elkiem, dara negantību,
oppresseth the poor and needy, spoileth by violence, restoreth not the pledge, lifteth up his eyes to idols, and committeth 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.
giveth forth upon usury, and taketh increase, shall he live? No! he shall not live. He hath done all these abominations; 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,
Yet lo, if he have a son that seeth all the sins which his father committed, that seeth them and doeth not such like,
15 Neēd uz (elku)kalniem un nepaceļ savas acis uz Israēla nama elkiem, neapgāna sava tuvākā sievu,
that eateth not upon the mountains, nor lifteth up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defileth his neighbor's wife,
16 Un nevienu nenospaida, ķīlu nepatur un laupījumu nelaupa, savu maizi dod izsalkušiem un pliko apģērbj ar drēbēm,
nor oppresseth any, nor taketh a pledge, nor spoileth by violence, but giveth his food to the hungry, and covereth 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.
keepeth back his hand from the poor, and taketh no usury or increase, keepeth my commandments, and walketh 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, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, he shall die for 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 the iniquity of the father?” When the son doeth that which is lawful and right, keepeth all my statutes and doeth 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, it 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 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.
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins which he hath 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 which he hath committed shall be remembered unto him; for his righteousness, which he hath 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 at all that the wicked should die, saith the Lord Jehovah, and not that he should turn from his ways 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 turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations which the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; for his trespass which he hath trespassed, and for his sin which he hath sinned, for 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 right.” Hear now, O house of Israel! “Is not my way right?” Is it not your ways that are not right?
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 from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and on this account dieth, for his iniquity which he hath done doth he die.
27 Bet kad bezdievīgais atgriežas no savas bezdievības, ko viņš darījis, un dara, kas tiesa un taisnība, tas paturēs savu dvēseli dzīvu.
And when the wicked man turneth from his iniquity which he hath committed, and doeth 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 considereth and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath 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 saith the house of Israel, “The way of the Lord is not right.” O house of Israel, are not my ways right? Is it not your ways that are not right?
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, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Turn ye, turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may 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 which ye have committed, and make you 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 dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah. Wherefore turn yourselves and live!
