Ecechiela 29
1 Desmitā gadā, desmitā mēnesī, divpadsmitā mēneša dienā, Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Cilvēka bērns, griez savu vaigu pret Faraonu, Ēģiptes ķēniņu, un sludini pret viņu un pret visu Ēģipti.
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall prophesy about him and about all of Egypt.
3 Runā un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Es celšos pret tevi, Faraonu, Ēģiptes ķēniņ, tu lielais jūras zvērs, kas savu upju vidū guļ un saka: mana upe ir mana, un to es sev esmu taisījis.
Speak, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great dragon, who rests in the midst of your rivers. And you say: ‘Mine is the river, and I have made myself.’
4 Bet Es likšu makšķeri tavā pažoklī, un likšu tavu upju zivīm pielipt pie tavām zvīņām, un izvilkšu no tām upēm tevi un visas tavu upju zivis, kas līp pie tavām zvīņām.
But I will place a bridle in your jaws. And I will adhere the fish of your rivers to your scales. And I will draw you out of the midst of your rivers, and all your fish will adhere to your scales.
5 Un Es tevi nometīšu tuksnesī, tevi, un visas tavu upju zivis; tu kritīsi uz lauku, tu netapsi sakrāts nedz salasīts; zvēriem virs zemes un putniem apakš debess Es tevi dodu par barību.
And I will cast you into the desert, with all the fish of your river. You will fall upon the surface of the earth; you will not be taken up, nor gathered together. I have given you to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the air, to be devoured.
6 Un visi Ēģiptes iedzīvotāji samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, tāpēc ka tie bijuši niedru stobrs Israēla namam.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord. For you have been a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Kad tie tevi satvēra rokā, tad tu lūzi un tiem pāršķēli sānus, un kad tie uz tevi atspiedās, tad tu salūzi un darīji tiem gurnus slābanus.
When they took hold of you with the hand, you broke, and so you wounded all of their shoulders. And when they leaned on you, you shattered, and so you injured all of their lower backs.
8 Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi, Es vedīšu pār tevi zobenu un no tevis izdeldēšu cilvēkus un lopus.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead the sword over you, and I will destroy both man and beast from among you.
9 Un Ēģiptes zeme taps postā un par tuksnesi, un tie samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, tāpēc ka viņš sacījis: tā upe ir mana, es to esmu darījis.
And the land of Egypt will be a desert and a wilderness. And they shall know that I am the Lord. For you have said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it.’
10 Tad nu redzi, Es celšos pret tevi un pret tavām upēm, un darīšu Ēģiptes zemi par tukšu posta vietu, no Migdalas līdz Ziēnei un līdz Moru zemes robežām.
Therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. And I will make the land of Egypt into a wilderness, destroyed by the sword from the tower of Syene all the way to the borders of Ethiopia.
11 Pa viņu cilvēka kāja nestaigās, un arī lopa kāja pa viņu neies un tur nedzīvos caurus četrdesmit gadus.
The foot of man will not pass through it, and the foot of cattle will not walk in it. And it will be uninhabited for forty years.
12 Jo Es Ēģiptes zemi darīšu par posta vietu starp postītām zemēm, un viņas pilsētas būs postā starp postītām pilsētām četrdesmit gadus, un Es ēģiptiešus izkaisīšu starp tautām un tos izputināšu pa valstīm.
And I will set the land of Egypt in desolation, in the midst of desolate lands, and its cities in the midst of overturned cites. And they will be desolate for forty years. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and I will disperse them among the lands.
13 Tomēr tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: kad četrdesmit gadi būs pagalam, tad Es sapulcināšu ēģiptiešus no tām tautām, kurp tie bija izkaisīti.
For thus says the Lord God: After the end of forty years, I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they had been scattered.
14 Un Es pārvedīšu ēģiptiešus no cietuma un tos atkal atvedīšu Patrus zemē, viņu dzimtā zemē, un tur tie būs viena maza valsts.
And I will lead back the captivity of Egypt, and I will collect them in the land of Pathros, in the land of their nativity. And in that place, they will be a lowly kingdom.
15 Un tā būs mazāka nekā citas valstis un necelsies vairs pār tām tautām, jo Es viņus mazināšu, lai nevalda vairs pār tautām.
It will be the lowest among the other kingdoms, and it will no longer be exalted above the nations. And I will diminish them, lest they rule over the Gentiles.
16 Un Israēla namam tie vairs nebūs par atspaidu, atgādinādami noziegumu, kad pēc viņiem skatās; bet tie samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs Dievs.
And they will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, so that they may flee and follow them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
17 Un notikās divdesmit septītā gadā, pirmā mēnesī, pirmā mēneša dienā, tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
And it happened that, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 Cilvēka bērns! Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, savam karaspēkam licis grūtu darbu darīt pret Tiru; visas galvas ir plikas un visi pleci noberzti; tomēr nedz viņam nedz viņa karaspēkam nekāda alga nav tikusi Tirus dēļ, par to grūto darbu, kas viņam pret to bijis.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has caused his army to serve with great servility against Tyre. Every head was shaven, and every shoulder was stripped of hair. And wages have not been paid to him, nor to his army, for Tyre, for the service by which he served for me against it.
19 Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Nebukadnecaram, Bābeles ķēniņam, Es došu Ēģiptes zemi, un viņš aizvedīs visu viņas pulku un laupīs viņas laupījumu un mantos viņas mantu, un tā būs tā alga viņa karaspēkam.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will station Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, in the land of Egypt. And he will take its multitude, and he will prey upon its profits, and he will plunder its spoils. And this shall be the wages for his army
20 Par darba algu Es tam atdošu Ēģiptes zemi, par to darbu, ko tie Man darījuši, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
and for the work by which he has served against it. I have given to him the land of Egypt, because he has labored for me, says the Lord God.
21 Tai dienā Es likšu izplaukt Israēla nama ragam, un atdarīšu tev muti viņu vidū; un tie samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.
In that day, a horn will spring forth for the house of Israel, and I will give to you an open mouth in their midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
