< Ecechiela 2 >
1 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: Cilvēka bērns, stājies kājās, tad Es ar tevi runāšu.
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 Un kad Viņš uz mani runāja, tad nāca gars iekš manis un cēla mani kājās, un es dzirdēju To, kas uz mani runāja.
And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,
3 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: Cilvēka bērns, Es tevi sūtu pie Israēla bērniem, pie tiem stūrgalvīgiem ļaudīm, kas sacēlušies pret Mani; viņi un viņu tēvi no Manis atkāpušies līdz šai pašai dienai.
and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.
4 Un tie bērni ir stūrgalvji un cietām sirdīm: Es tevi sūtu pie tiem, un tev būs uz tiem sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
5 Un vai tie klausa, vai neklausa - jo tie ir pārgalvju suga - taču tiem būs zināt, ka pravietis ir viņu vidū.
Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.
6 Bet tu, cilvēka bērns, nebīsties no tiem un nebīsties no viņu vārdiem: jebšu dadži un ērkšķi ap tevi, un tu dzīvo pie skorpioniem, tomēr nebīsties no viņu vārdiem un neiztrūksties no viņu vaiga; jo tie ir atkāpēju suga.
But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.
7 Un tev būs Manus vārdus uz tiem runāt, vai tie klausa, vai neklausa; jo tie ir stūrgalvji.
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
8 Bet tu, cilvēka bērns, klausi, ko es tev saku: neesi neklausīgs, tā kā tā nepaklausīgā tauta. Atver savu muti un ēd, ko es tev dodu.
But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”
9 Tad es redzēju, un raugi, roka pret mani bija izstiepta, un redzi, iekš tās bija satīta grāmata.
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
10 Un viņš to attaisīja manā priekšā, un tā bija aprakstīta iekšpusē un ārpusē, un tur bija uzrakstītas raudu dziesmas, nopūtas un vaimanas.
And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
