Ecechiela 21
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
Then came the word of Jehovah to me, saying:
2 Cilvēka bērns, griez savu vaigu pret Jeruzālemi, un lai (tava valoda) pil pret tām svētām vietām un sludini pret Israēla zemi.
Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 Un saki uz Israēla zemi: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es pret tevi celšos un izvilkšu Savu zobenu no makstīm un izsakņošu no tevis taisnus un bezdievīgus.
and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
4 Lai Es nu no tevis izdeldu gan taisnus gan bezdievīgus, tad Mans zobens no savām makstīm izlēks pret visu miesu no dienvidiem līdz ziemeļiem.
Seeing then that I cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
5 Un visa miesa atzīs, ka Es, Tas Kungs, esmu izvilcis Savu zobenu no makstīm; tas atkal vairs netaps iebāzts.
And all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
6 Bet tu, ak cilvēka bērns, nopūties! Ar satriektiem gurniem un rūgtās skumjās nopūties priekš viņu acīm.
Thou, therefore, O son of man, sigh! With the breaking of thy loins, and with bitterness, sigh before their eyes!
7 Un kad tie uz tevi sacīs: ko tu vaidi? Tad tev būs sacīt: tās baumas dēļ ka tā nāk, un visas sirdis izkusīs, un visas rokas nogurs, un visa drošība zudīs, un visi ceļi sašļuks; redzi, tā nāks un notiks, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
And when they shall say to thee, “Wherefore sighest thou?” thou shalt say, “For the rumor, because it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall fail, and all knees shall flow with water. Behold it cometh, it shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord Jehovah.”
8 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
Also the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
9 Cilvēka bērns, sludini un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs: saki: zobens, zobens ir trīts un asināts.
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, The sword, the sword is sharpened and furbished.
10 Tas ir trīts, lai kautin kauj, tas ir asināts, lai spīd kā zibens. Vai tad mums būs priecāties, Mana dēla(Jūda) scepteris nicina visus kokus?
It is sharpened, that it may make sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter. Or shall we make mirth? The staff of my son despiseth every rod.
11 Un Viņš to (zobenu) devis, lai gludina(spodrina) ka to ņem rokā; tas zobens ir trīts un asināts, lai kāvējam to dod rokā.
And he gave it to be furbished that it might be handled. The sword is sharpened and furbished, to be given into the hand of the slayer.
12 Kliedz un kauc, cilvēka bērns! Jo tas celsies pret Maniem ļaudīm, tas celsies pret visiem Israēla valdniekiem; zobenam tie nodoti līdz ar Maniem ļaudīm; tādēļ sit uz saviem gurniem.
Cry and howl, son of man! for it cometh upon my people, upon all the princes of Israel. They are given up to the sword with my people. Therefore smite upon thy thigh.
13 Tiešām, tas zobens ir pārbaudīts; un kas būs, kad tas scepteris, kas nicina, iznīks? saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
The trial is made. And what if even the contemning staff should be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.
14 Tad nu tu, cilvēka bērns, sludini un sasit rokas, jo tas zobens nāks ar divkārtīgu spēku trešo reiz, kaujams zobens, tas lielais kaujamais zobens, tiem visapkārt.
Thou, therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together! for twice, yea thrice, cometh the sword, a sword of slaughter, a sword of great slaughter, that besetteth them on every side.
15 Lai sirds izkūst un kritušo ir daudz, visos viņu vārtos Es sūtu draudošu zobenu. Ak, tas ir taisīts, lai zib, un ir trīts, lai kauj!
That their hearts may faint, and their overthrown may be multiplied, I have set the terror of the sword against all their gates. Ah, how is it made to glitter, polished for slaughter!
16 Cērt spēcīgi, sit pa labo roku, griezies, sit pa kreiso roku, kurp tavs asmens griežas.
Unite thyself, smite to the right, prepare thyself, smite to the left, whithersoever thine edge is turned!
17 Arī Es pats sasitīšu Savas rokas un izdarīšu Savu bardzību; Es, Tas Kungs, to esmu runājis.
I also will smite my hands together, and cause mine anger to cease. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
18 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
The word of Jehovah came to me again, saying:
19 Tu tad, ak cilvēka bērns, taisi sev divus ceļus, pa kuriem Bābeles ķēniņa zobenam jānāk; no vienas zemes tiem abiem būs iziet. Taisi roku(virziena rādītājs) ceļa iesākumā, kas rāda uz pilsētu.
Do thou, son of man, appoint thee two ways by which the sword of the king of Babylon may come; from one land shall both of them come; and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
20 Taisi ceļu, pa ko tas zobens lai nāk pret Amona bērnu Rabu un (otru) pret Jūdu uz stipro Jeruzālemes pilsētu.
Appoint a way, that the sword may come towards Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and towards Judah, to Jerusalem, the fenced city.
21 Jo Bābeles ķēniņš stāvēs uz ceļa jūtīm, kur tie divi ceļi šķirās, ar zīlēšanu zīlēdams, viņš metīs bultas, viņš vaicās elkadievus, viņš apraudzīs (upuru)aknas.
For the king of Babylon shall stand at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shall shake together his arrows, he shall consult the teraphim, he shall look at the liver.
22 Tā zīlēšana zīmēs pa viņa labo roku uz Jeruzālemi, tur pievest āžus, atvērt muti uz kliegšanu, pacelt balsi uz kara troksni, likt āžus pret vārtiem, uzmest vaļņus un uztaisīt bulverķus.
In his right hand shall be the lot: Jerusalem, to set battering-rams, to open the mouth with the war-cry, to lift up the voice in shouting, to set battering-rams against the gates, to cast up a mound, to build a tower.
23 Šī būs kā aplama zīlēšana viņu acīs, tās zvērēšanas dēļ kas viņiem zvērēta; bet Viņš pieminēs to noziegumu un tos gūstīs.
And this shall appear a false divination in their sight, because they swore oaths to them. But he shall call to remembrance their iniquity, that they may be taken.
24 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Tāpēc ka jūs savus noziegumus esat atgādinājuši, savus pārkāpumus atklādami, tā ka jūsu grēki top redzēti visos jūsu darbos; tāpēc ka jūs topat pieminēti, tad jūs ar rokām tapsiet gūstīti.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye make your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear, —because, I say, ye bring yourselves into remembrance, ye shall be taken with that hand.
25 Un tu, nesvētais, bezdievīgais Israēla valdnieks, kam pienākusi sava diena, kurā noziegumi beidzās,
And thou, profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day cometh in the time when iniquity bringeth destruction!
26 Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: liec nost galvas glītumu un ņem zemē kroni, jo tas nepaliks, kā tas bija: zemais tiks paaugstināts un augstais pazemots.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will remove the diadem, and take away the crown! This shall no more be this. I exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
27 Es to likšu postā, postā, postā, un šī nebūs, līdz kamēr nāk, kam tā tiesa pieder, - tam Es to došu.
I will destroy, destroy, destroy it; and it shall be no more until he come to whom the right belongeth, and to whom I will give it.
28 Un tu, cilvēka bērns, sludini un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs par Amona bērniem un par viņu nievāšanu un saki: zobens, zobens izvilkts, lai kauj, trīts, lai spīd un zib.
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the sons of Ammon and their scorn; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn; to slay, to consume, is it furbished, so that it glittereth;
29 Kamēr tev aplamas parādīšanas rāda, kamēr tev melus sludina, tas tevi liks pie nokauto nesvēto kakliem, kuru diena nāk gala nozieguma laikā.
while they see deceit for thee, and prophesy falsehood, that it may bring thee to the necks of the wicked that are slain, whose day cometh in the time when iniquity bringeth destruction.
30 Bāz zobenu makstīs! Es tevi sodīšu tai vietā, kur tu radīts, tai zemē, kur tu dzimis.
Return the sword into its sheath! In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity, I will judge thee,
31 Un Es izgāzīšu pār tevi Savu dusmību, Es uzpūtīšu pret tevi Savas bardzības uguni, un tevi nodošu nežēlīgu cilvēku, niknu postītāju rokā.
and I will pour upon thee my indignation, I will blow upon thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hands of brutal men, skilful to destroy.
32 Tu būsi ugunij par barību, tavas asinis tecēs pašā tavā zemē, un tevi vairs nepieminēs; jo Es Tas Kungs to esmu runājis.
Thou shalt be fuel for the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; men shall no more remember thee. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
