Ecechiela 3
1 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: Cilvēka bērns, ēd, kas tavā priekšā, ēd šo satīto grāmatu, un ej un runā uz Israēla namu.
“Son of man,” he told me, “eat what you find placed before you. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the people of Israel.”
2 Tad es atdarīju savu muti, un Viņš man deva ēst to satīto grāmatu.
I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: Cilvēka bērns, dod savam vēderam ēst un pildi savas iekšas ar šo satīto grāmatu, ko Es tev dodu. Tad es ēdu, un tas bija manā mutē tik salds kā medus.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “eat and fill yourself up with this scroll I'm giving you.” So I ate the scroll, and it tasted as sweet as honey.
4 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: Cilvēka bērns, ej pie Israēla nama un runā uz tiem Manus vārdus.
Then he told me, “Son of man, now you are to go to the people of Israel and give my message to them.
5 Jo tu netopi sūtīts pie ļaudīm, kam tumša valoda un grūta mēle, bet uz Israēla namu,
I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know—but to the people of Israel.
6 Ne pie lielām tautām, kam tumšas valodas un grūtas mēles, kuru vārdus tu nevari saprast; bet pie tiem Es tevi esmu sūtījis, tie tevi var saprast.
As I say, I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know, whose words you don't understand. On the other hand, if I had sent you to foreigners, they would have listened to you.
7 Bet Israēla nams negribēs tevi klausīt, tāpēc ka tie Mani negrib klausīt. Jo visam Israēla namam ir bieza piere un cieta sirds.
But the people of Israel won't want to listen to you, because they don't want to listen to me. All the Israelites are strong-minded and hard-hearted.
8 Redzi, tavu vaigu Es daru cietu kā viņu vaigu, un tavu pieri biezu kā viņu pieri
Look! I'm going to make you as tough as them, and as strong-minded as them.
9 Tavu pieri Es esmu darījis kā dimantu, cietāku pār klinti. Nebīsties no tiem un neiztrūksties no viņu vaiga; jo tie ir atkāpēju suga.
I will make your mind like adamant, harder than flint. Don't be afraid of what they say or discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious people.”
10 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: Cilvēka bērns, ņem pie sirds visus Manus vārdus, ko Es uz tevi runāšu, un klausies tos ar savām ausīm.
“Son of man,” he added, “pay close attention to everything I tell you, and think deeply about it yourself.
11 Un ej pie tiem aizvestiem, pie savu ļaužu bērniem, un runā uz tiem un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs; - vai tie nu klausa, vai neklausa.
Go to your people who are in exile. Tell them this is what the Lord God says, whether they listen or not.”
12 Tad Tas Gars mani pacēla, un es dzirdēju aiz sevis liela trokšņa balsi, kad Tā Kunga godība pacēlās no savas vietas,
The Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a really loud noise behind me that sounded like an earthquake. (Praise to the Lord's glory where he lives!)
13 Un (es dzirdēju) to dzīvo spārnus, kas viens pie otra sniedzās, un to skrituļu rībēšanu viņiem līdzās un liela trokšņa skaņu.
It was the sound made by the wings of the beings as they brushed against each other and the noise made by the wheels next to them, a really loud noise that sounded like an earthquake.
14 Tad Tas Gars mani pacēla un mani aizņēma, un es gāju rūgts sava gara karstumā, bet Tā Kunga roka bija pār mani stipra.
As I said, the Spirit lifted me up and carried me away. As I went I was feeling upset and angry; however the Lord's power had taken full control of me.
15 Un es nonācu uz Telabību pie tiem aizvestiem, kas dzīvoja pie Ķebaras upes, un paliku tur, kur tie dzīvoja, un paliku tur viņu vidū septiņas dienas ļoti noskumis.
I arrived at the place where the exiles lived, Tel-abib by the River Kebar. I just sat with them, staying with them there for seven days. I was completely overcome with emotion.
16 Un pēc septiņām dienām Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
After the seven days had passed, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
17 Cilvēka bērns, Es tevi esmu licis par sargu Israēla namam, ka tev no Manas mutes būs klausīties to vārdu un viņiem no Manas puses piekodināt.
“Son of man, I have chosen you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Whenever I give you a message, then you must warn them for me.
18 Kad Es saku uz bezdievīgo: tu mirdams mirsi, - un tu viņu nepamāci un nerunā, ka tu bezdievīgo atgriezi no viņa bezdievīgā ceļa un viņu paturi dzīvu, tad bezdievīgais nomirs savā noziegumā, bet viņa asinis Es prasīšu no tavas rokas.
For example, if I give a warning to someone who's wicked, saying, ‘You are going to die for sure,’ but you don't warn them, if you don't speak out to warn them to stop their wicked ways so they can go on living, then that wicked person will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their death.
19 Bet kad tu bezdievīgo pamāci un viņš neatgriežas no savas bezdievības un no sava bezdievīgā ceļa, tad viņš nomirs savā noziegumā, bet tu savu dvēseli esi izglābis.
But if you warn them, and they don't stop their wicked ways, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself—you won't die.
20 Un kad taisnais nogriežas no savas taisnības un dara ļaunu, tad Es viņam likšu piedauzīties, un tas mirs; kad tu viņu neesi pamācījis, tad viņš nomirs savos grēkos, un viņa taisnība, ko viņš darījis, netaps pieminēta, bet viņa asinis Es prasīšu no tavas rokas.
Again, if someone who lives right stops doing so and sins and disregards my attempts to correct them, then they will die. If you didn't warn them, they will die in their sins, and the good things they did won't be remembered. In addition, I will hold you responsible for their death.
21 Bet kad tu taisno pamāci, ka tam taisnam nebūs grēkot, un viņš negrēko, tad viņš tiešām dzīvos, tāpēc ka tas ir tapis pamācīts, un tu savu dvēseli esi izglābis.
However, if you warn those who are living right not to sin, and they don't sin, they will live for sure, because they paid attention to your warning, and you will have saved yourself—you won't die.”
22 Un Tā Kunga roka bija tur uz manis, un Viņš uz mani sacīja: celies, ej ārā ielejā, un tur Es ar tevi runāšu.
The Lord's power took control of me there, and he told me, “Get up! Go to the valley, and I will talk to you there.”
23 Tad es cēlos un izgāju ielejā, un redzi, tur stāvēja Tā Kunga godība, tā kā tā godība, ko es biju redzējis pie Ķebaras upes. Un es nokritu uz savu vaigu.
So I got up and went to the valley, and there I saw the Lord's glory. It was like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
24 Tad gars nāca iekš manis un mani cēla kājās, un Viņš runāja uz mani un sacīja uz mani: ej, ieslēdzies savā namā.
Then the Spirit came into me and made me stand upright. He told me, “Go into your house and shut the door.
25 Un redzi, tu cilvēka bērns, tev apliks virves, un tevi ar tām saistīs, un tu no tām nevarēsi noiet viņu vidū.
You will be tied up with ropes, son of man. You will be bound so that won't be able to go out among the people.
26 Un Es tavai mēlei likšu pielipt pie zoda, un tu paliksi mēms un tiem nebūsi par pārmācītāju; jo tie ir atkāpēju suga.
I'll make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth. You won't be able to speak and complain to them, even though they are a rebellious people.
27 Bet kad Es ar tevi runāšu, tad Es atdarīšu tavu muti, un tev būs sacīt uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs! Kas klausa, lai klausa, un kas neklausa, lai neklausa; jo tie ir atkāpēju suga.
However, when I talk with you, I will open your mouth so you can tell them that this is what the Lord God says. Those who want to listen will listen, and those who want to refuse will refuse, for they are a rebellious people.”
