Ecechiela 20
1 Un notikās septītā gadā, piektā mēnesī, desmitā mēneša dienā, tad nāca vīri no Israēla vecajiem, To Kungu vaicāt, un apsēdās manā priekšā.
In the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
2 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
3 Cilvēka bērns, runā uz Israēla vecajiem un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: vai jūs esat nākuši, Mani vaicāt? Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Es negribu, ka jūs Mani vaicājiet.
“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Is it to enquire of me that you have come? As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will not be enquired of by you.”’
4 Vai tu tos gribi tiesāt? Vai tu gribi tiesāt, cilvēka bērns? Tad stāsti tiem viņu tēvu negantības!
“Will you judge them, son of man? Will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers.
5 Un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tai dienā, kad Es Israēli izredzēju, tad Es pacēlu Savu roku pār Jēkaba nama dzimumu un tiem parādījos Ēģiptes zemē; Es pacēlu Savu roku pār tiem un sacīju: Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.
Tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, ‘I am the LORD your God;’
6 Tai dienā Es pacēlu Savu roku pār tiem un tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes uz zemi, ko Es priekš viņiem biju izlūkojis, kur piens un medus tek, kas ir jaukāka pār visām zemēm.
in that day I swore to them to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
7 Un Es uz tiem sacīju: atmetiet ikviens savu acu gānekļus no sevis nost un neapgānāties ar Ēģiptes elkiem; Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.
I said to them, ‘Each of you throw away the abominations of his eyes. Don’t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’
8 Bet tie bija stūrgalvīgi pret Mani un negribēja Mani klausīt; neviens neatmeta savu acu gānekļus un neatstājās no Ēģiptes elkiem. Tāpēc Es sacīju: Es pār tiem izgāzīšu Savu bardzību un izdarīšu pie tiem Savu dusmību pašā Ēģiptes zemē.
“‘“But they rebelled against me and wouldn’t listen to me. They didn’t all throw away the abominations of their eyes. They also didn’t forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.
9 Bet es darīju sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš pagānu acīm, kuru vidū tie bija, priekš kuru acīm Es tiem biju parādījies, tos izvest no Ēģiptes zemes.
But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations amongst which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
10 Un Es tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes un tos vadīju tuksnesī.
So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
11 Un Es tiem devu Savus likumus un tiem darīju zināmas tiesas, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo.
I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.
12 Es tiem arī devu Savas svētās dienas, ka tās būtu par zīmi starp Mani un viņiem, lai tie atzītu, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas tos svētī.
Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
13 Bet Israēla nams bija stūrgalvīgs pret Mani tuksnesī; tie nestaigāja Manos likumos un atmeta Manas tiesas, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo; un tie ļoti sagānīja Manas svētās dienas, tā ka Es sacīju: Es Savu bardzību pār tiem gribu izgāzt tuksnesī un tiem darīt galu.
“‘“But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They didn’t walk in my statutes and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 Bet Es darīju Sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš to pagānu acīm, priekš kuru acīm Es tos biju izvedis.
But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
15 Un tomēr Es Savu roku pacēlu pret tiem tuksnesī, tos nevest tai zemē, ko Es tiem biju devis, kur piens un medus tek, kas ir jaukāka pār visām zemēm:
Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands,
16 Tādēļ ka tie atmeta Manas tiesas un nestaigāja Manos likumos un sagānīja Manas svētās dienas; jo viņu sirds dzinās pakaļ viņu elkiem.
because they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
17 Bet Mana acs tos žēloja, ka Es tos nenomaitāju un tiem galu nedarīju tuksnesī.
Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them. I didn’t make a full end of them in the wilderness.
18 Un Es sacīju uz viņu bērniem tuksnesī: nestaigājiet savu tēvu likumos un nesargājiet viņu tiesas un neapgānāties ar viņu elkiem,
I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers. Don’t observe their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
19 Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs; staigājiet manos likumos un sargājiet manas tiesas un dariet tās.
I am the LORD your God. Walk in my statutes, keep my ordinances, and do them.
20 Un svētījiet manas svētās dienas, lai tās ir par zīmi starp mani un jums, un jūs samanāt, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.
Make my Sabbaths holy. They shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’
21 Bet arī tie bērni bija stūrgalvīgi pret Mani, tie nestaigāja Manos likumos un nesargāja Manas tiesas, tās nedarīdami, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo; tie sagānīja Manas svētās dienas, tā ka Es sacīju: Es Savu bardzību pār tiem gribu izgāzt un Savu dusmību pret tiem izdarīt tuksnesī.
“‘“But the children rebelled against me. They didn’t walk in my statutes, and didn’t keep my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them. They profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
22 Bet Es atturēju Savu roku Sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš to pagānu acīm, priekš kuru acīm Es tos biju izvedis.
Nevertheless I withdrew my hand and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
23 Un taču Es pacēlu Savu roku pret tiem tuksnesī, tos izkaisīt starp tiem pagāniem un tos izputināt pa tām valstīm,
Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them amongst the nations and disperse them through the countries,
24 Tādēļ ka tie Manas tiesas nebija darījuši, bet bija atmetuši Manus likumus un sagānījuši Manas svētās dienas un viņu acis dzinās pakaļ viņu tēvu elkiem.
because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
25 Tāpēc Es tiem arī devu likumus, kas nebija labi, un tiesas, caur ko tie nevarēja dzīvot.
Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they couldn’t live.
26 Un Es tos sagānīju ar viņu dāvanām, caur to, ka tie ikvienai pirmdzimtībai lika caur uguni iet, lai Es tos nopostītu, lai tie samanītu, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.
I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that opens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.”’
27 Tādēļ cilvēka bērns, runā uz Israēla namu un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: jūsu tēvi Mani vēl ir zaimojuši, atkāpdamies no Manis.
“Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Moreover, in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
28 Kad Es tos biju novedis uz to zemi, par ko Savu roku biju pacēlis, viņiem to dot, tad tie izraudzījās ikkatru augstu pakalnu un ikkatru kuplu koku, un upurēja tur savus upurus un nonesa tur savas riebīgās dāvanas un kvēpināja tur savu saldo smaržu un upurēja turpat savus dzeramos upurus.
For when I had brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There they also made their pleasant aroma, and there they poured out their drink offerings.
29 Un Es uz tiem sacīju: kas tas par kalnu, kurp jūs ejat? Bet šī vārds līdz šai dienai ir nosaukts elka kalns.
Then I said to them, ‘What does the high place where you go mean?’ So its name is called Bamah to this day.”’
30 Tādēļ saki uz Israēla namu: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: jūs esat sagānījušies pa savu tēvu ceļiem un maukojušies viņu gānekļiem pakaļ.
“Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? Do you play the prostitute after their abominations?
31 Tiešām, savas dāvanas upurēdami, saviem bērniem likdami caur uguni iet, jūs esat apgānījušies pie visiem saviem elkiem līdz šai dienai; vai Es no jums ļautos vaicāties, ak Israēla nams! Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, Es negribu, ka jūs Mani vaicājiet.
When you offer your gifts, when you make your sons pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? Should I be enquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you!
32 Un kas jums prātā nācis, tas mūžam nenotiks, ka jūs sakāt: mēs turēsimies kā tās (pagānu) tautas un kā tās ciltis visās zemēs kalposim kokam un akmenim.
“‘“That which comes into your mind will not be at all, in that you say, ‘We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.’
33 Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, ar stipru roku un izstieptu elkoni un ar izgāztu bardzību Es pār jums gribu valdīt.
As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.
34 Es jūs izvedīšu no tām tautām un jūs sapulcināšu no tām valstīm, kurp esat izkaisīti, ar stipru roku un izstieptu elkoni un ar izgāztu bardzību.
I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.
35 Un Es jūs vedīšu uz tautu tuksnesi, un tur es ar jums tiesāšos vaigu vaigā.
I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgement with you face to face.
36 Tā kā Es ar jūsu tēviem esmu tiesājies Ēģiptes zemes tuksnesī, tāpat Es ar jums tiesāšos, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
Just as I entered into judgement with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgement with you,” says the Lord GOD.
37 Un Es jums likšu staigāt apakš rīkstes un jūs vedīšu derības saitēs.
“I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
38 Un Es izmēzīšu no jums tos atkāpējus un atkritējus no Manis, un Es tos gan izvedīšu no tās zemes, kur piemita, bet uz Israēla zemi tie vairs nenāks, un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.
I will purge out from amongst you the rebels and those who disobey me. I will bring them out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
39 Bet jūs no Israēla nama, tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: noejat, kalpojiet ikviens saviem elkiem! Bet pēclaikā, tad tiešām jūs Mani klausīsiet un vairs neapgānīsiet Manu svēto vārdu ar savām dāvanām un ar saviem elkiem.
“‘As for you, house of Israel, the Lord GOD says: “Go, everyone serve his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but you shall no more profane my holy name with your gifts and with your idols.
40 Jo uz Mana svētā kalna, uz Israēla augstā kalna, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tur Man kalpos viss Israēla nams, visi, kas tanī zemē; tur man pie tiem būs labs prāts, un tur Es prasīšu jūsu cilājamos upurus un jūsu upuru pirmajus, ar visu, ko jūs Man svētījat.
For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
41 Man būs labs prāts pie jums kā pie saldas smaržas, kad Es jūs no tām tautām izvedīšu un jūs sapulcināšu no tām valstīm, kur bijāt izkaisīti, un Es caur jums pagodināšos priekš pagānu acīm.
I will accept you as a pleasant aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered. I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
42 Un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es jūs ievedīšu Israēla zemē, tai zemē, par ko Es Savu roku esmu pacēlis, to dot jūsu tēviem.
You will know that I am the LORD when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.
43 Tad jūs tur pieminēsiet savus ceļus un visus savus darbus, ar ko jūs esat apgānījušies, un jums pašiem riebs visa jūsu bezdievība, ko esat darījuši.
There you will remember your ways, and all your deeds in which you have polluted yourselves. Then you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
44 Tā jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es ar jums būšu darījis Sava vārda dēļ, ne pēc jūsu nikniem ceļiem un netikliem darbiem, ak Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
You will know that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.’”
45 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
46 Cilvēka bērns, griez savu vaigu pret dienvidiem, un lai (tava valoda) pil pret dienvidiem, un sludini pret to mežu dienvidu klajumā.
“Son of man, set your face towards the south, and preach towards the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the south.
47 Un saki uz to mežu dienvidos: klausi Tā Kunga vārdu! Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi Es iededzināšu uguni iekš tevis, un tas iekš tevis aprīs visus zaļos kokus un visus sausos kokus; tās varenās liesmas nevarēs izdzēst, un tā sadegs viss, kas ir no dienvidiem līdz ziemeļiem.
Tell the forest of the south, ‘Hear the LORD’s word: The Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree. The burning flame will not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be burnt by it.
48 Un visa miesa redzēs, ka Es Tas Kungs to esmu iededzinājis; tas netaps izdzēsts.
All flesh will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it. It will not be quenched.”’”
49 Un es sacīju: ak Kungs Dievs! Tie par mani saka: vai tas nav līdzības stāstītājs?
Then I said, “Ah Lord GOD! They say of me, ‘Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’”
