Ecechiela 18
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
The word of Yahweh 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, you who use this proverb concerning the land of Israel and say, 'Fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are made blunt'?
3 Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, pie jums vairs nenotiks ka šo sakāmo vārdu lietos iekš Israēla.
As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—there will certainly no longer be any occasion for you 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! Every life belong to me—the life of the father as well as the life of the son, they belong to me! The soul who sins is the one who will die!
5 Kad nu kas ir taisns un dara, kas tiesa un taisnība,
What can be said about a man who is righteous and who carries out 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,
if he does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and he does not defile his neighbor's wife, nor approached a woman during her monthly period, is he a righteous man?
7 Un kas nevienu nenospaida un parādniekam dod atpakaļ viņa ķīlu, kas nelaupa, bet izsalkušam dod maizes un apģērbj pliko ar drēbēm,
What can be said about a man who does not oppress anyone, and he gives back to the debtor what was put up as security for a loan, and he does not commit theft but gives his food to the hungry and he covers the naked with clothes, is he a righteous man?
8 Kas augļus nedzen nedz pagaidus plēš, savu roku izsargā no netaisnības un taisnu tiesu nes starp vienu un otru,
What can be said about a man who does not charge too much interest for the money he loans, and he does not take too much profit for what he sells? It is said of him that he carries out justice and establishes faithfulness between people.
9 Kas staigā Manos likumos un sargā Manas tiesas, turēdams ticību, - tas ir taisns, tas dzīvos, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
If that man walks in my statutes and keeps my decrees to act faithfully, then the promise for this righteous man is this: He will surely live!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
10 Bet ja tas dzemdinājis dēlu, kas ir laupītājs, kas asinis izlej, kas savam brālim dara vienu no šīm lietām,
But suppose that he has a violent son who sheds blood and does any one of these things that were mentioned,
11 Un kas nedara visas šīs lietas, bet ēd uz (elku)kalniem un apgāna sava tuvāka sievu,
(though his father has not done any of these things). He eats upon the mountains and he defiles his neighbor's wife, what can be said about him?
12 Kas nospaida nabagu un bēdīgo, laupa laupījumu, neatdod ķīlu un paceļ savas acis uz elkiem, dara negantību,
This man oppresses the poor and needy, and he seizes and robs, and he does not return a pledge, and he lifts up his eyes to the idols and commits disgusting actions,
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.
and he lends out money at too high interest and he makes too much profit on what he sells, should that man live? Surely he will not! He will certainly die and his blood will be on him because he has done all these detestable things.
14 Bet redzi, ja tas dzemdinājis dēlu, kas redz visus tēva grēkus, ko tas dara, un bīstas un nedara tāpat,
But behold! Suppose there is a man who bears a son, and his son sees all the sins that his father has committed, and though he sees them, he does not do those things.
15 Neēd uz (elku)kalniem un nepaceļ savas acis uz Israēla nama elkiem, neapgāna sava tuvākā sievu,
That son does not eat upon the mountains, and he does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and he does not defile his neighbor's wife, what can be said about him?
16 Un nevienu nenospaida, ķīlu nepatur un laupījumu nelaupa, savu maizi dod izsalkušiem un pliko apģērbj ar drēbēm,
That son does not oppress anyone, or seize a pledge, or take stolen things, but instead gives his food to the hungry and covers up the naked with clothes.
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.
That son does not oppress anyone or take interest that is too high or make too much profit for a loan, but he carries out my decrees and walks according to my statutes; that son will not die for his father's sin: He will 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, since he oppressed others by extortion and robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people—behold, he will 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.
But you say, 'Why does the son not bear the iniquity of his father?' Because the son carries out justice and righteousness and keeps all my statutes; he does them. He will 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 one who sins, he is the one who will die. A son will not bear his father's iniquity, and a father will not bear his son's iniquity. The righteousness of the one who acts rightly will be on himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be on himself.
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 turns away from all his sins that he has done, and keeps all my statutes and performs justice and righteousness, then he will certainly live and not die.
22 Visi viņa grēki, ko viņš darījis, viņam netaps pieminēti; savas taisnības dēļ, ko viņš dara, viņš dzīvos.
All the transgressions that he has committed will not be called to mind against him. He will live by the righteousness that he practices.
23 Vai Man bezdievīgā nāve varētu patikt? saka Tas Kungs Dievs, vai Man nepatīk, ka viņš atgriežas no sava ceļa un dzīvo?
Do I greatly rejoice over the death of the wicked—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and not in his turning away from his way so 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 if the righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and practices abominations like all the abominations that the wicked person does, then will he live? All the righteousness that he had done will not be called to mind when he betrays me in his treason. So he will die in the sins that he committed.
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?
But you say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' Listen, house of Israel! Are my ways unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?
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 because of them, then he will die in the iniquity that he has done.
27 Bet kad bezdievīgais atgriežas no savas bezdievības, ko viņš darījis, un dara, kas tiesa un taisnība, tas paturēs savu dvēseli dzīvu.
But when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has done and performs justice and righteousness, then he will preserve his life.
28 Tāpēc ka viņš liek vērā un atgriežas no visiem saviem grēkiem, ko viņš darījis, tad viņš tiešām dzīvos, viņš nemirs.
For he has seen and turned away from all the transgressions that he had done. He will surely live, and he will 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?
But the house of Israel says, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' How is my way not fair, house of Israel? It is your ways that are not fair.
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 each man among you according to his ways, house of Israel!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration. Repent and turn away from all your transgressions so that they will not be stumbling blocks of iniquity against you.
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?
Throw away from yourselves all of the transgressions that you have committed; make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should 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 delight in the death of the one who dies—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—so repent and live!”
