Ecechiela 29
1 Desmitā gadā, desmitā mēnesī, divpadsmitā mēneša dienā, Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
Almost ten [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the twelfth day of the tenth [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said to me],
2 Cilvēka bērns, griez savu vaigu pret Faraonu, Ēģiptes ķēniņu, un sludini pret viņu un pret visu Ēģipti.
“You human, turn toward Egypt and proclaim the terrible things that will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people.
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.
Give the king this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You king of Egypt, I am your enemy; [you are like] [MET] a great monster/crocodile that lies in the [along the Nile River]. You say, “The Nile [River] is mine; I made it [for 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 [it will be as though] I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out [from the river] onto the land, with fish sticking 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.
I will leave you and all those fish to die in the desert; you will fall onto the ground, and your [corpse] will not be picked up and buried, because I have declared that your flesh will be food for the wild animals and birds.
6 Un visi Ēģiptes iedzīvotāji samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, tāpēc ka tie bijuši niedru stobrs Israēla namam.
When that happens, all the people of Egypt will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do]. The Israeli people [trusted that you would help them]. But you have been [like] [MET] a reed pole in their hands.
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.
And when they leaned on that pole, it splintered and tore open their shoulders. When they leaned on you, [it was as though] you were a pole that broke, and as a result you wrenched their backs.
8 Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi, Es vedīšu pār tevi zobenu un no tevis izdeldēšu cilvēkus un lopus.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will bring [your enemies to attack] you with their swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.
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.
Egypt will become an empty desert. Then the people of Egypt will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” You [proudly] said, “The Nile [River] is mine; I 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 I am opposed to you and your streams, and I will cause Egypt to be ruined, and cause it to be an empty desert, from Migdol [in the north] to Aswan [in the south], as far [south] as the border of Ethiopia.
11 Pa viņu cilvēka kāja nestaigās, un arī lopa kāja pa viņu neies un tur nedzīvos caurus četrdesmit gadus.
For 40 years no one will walk through that area, and no one will live there.
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.
Egypt will be barren/empty, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. The cities in Egypt will be empty and deserted for 40 years, surrounded by ruined cities in nearby nations. I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered to countries [far away].
13 Tomēr tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: kad četrdesmit gadi būs pagalam, tad Es sapulcināšu ēģiptiešus no tām tautām, kurp tie bija izkaisīti.
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, [also] say: “At the end of 40 years, I will enable the people of Egypt to return home [again] from the nations to which they were scattered.
14 Un Es pārvedīšu ēģiptiešus no cietuma un tos atkal atvedīšu Patrus zemē, viņu dzimtā zemē, un tur tie būs viena maza valsts.
I will bring back the people of Egypt who had been captured, and I will enable them to live again in the Pathros area [in the south], where they lived previously. But Egypt will be a very unimportant [DOU] 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 least important of [all] the nations; it will never again be greater than the nearby countries. I will cause Egypt to be very weak, with the result that it will never again rule over other nations.
16 Un Israēla namam tie vairs nebūs par atspaidu, atgādinādami noziegumu, kad pēc viņiem skatās; bet tie samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs Dievs.
[When that happens, the leaders of] Israel will no longer be tempted to ask Egypt to help them. Egypt will be punished, and that will cause the Israeli people to not forget that they previously sinned by trusting that Egypt could help them. And the people of Israel will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
17 Un notikās divdesmit septītā gadā, pirmā mēnesī, pirmā mēneša dienā, tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
Almost twenty-seven years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day [of the new year], Yahweh gave me this message:
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.
“You human, the army of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought very hard against Tyre, with the result that their heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders became (raw/full of blisters). But Nebuchadnezzar and his army did not get any valuable things from Tyre to reward them for their hard work [to destroy Tyre].
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.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will enable King Nebuchadnezzar’s army to conquer Egypt. They will carry away from there all the valuable things, in order that the king can give them to his soldiers.
20 Par darba algu Es tam atdošu Ēģiptes zemi, par to darbu, ko tie Man darījuši, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
I will enable them to conquer Egypt as a reward for what they did [to Tyre], because [I], Yahweh say that [it was as though] his army was working for me, [doing what I wanted them to do, when they destroyed Tyre].
21 Tai dienā Es likšu izplaukt Israēla nama ragam, un atdarīšu tev muti viņu vidū; un tie samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.
And some day Israel will become a glorious nation [MET] again. When that happens, I will cause the Israeli people to respect what you say [MTY]. And then they will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
