< Ecechiela 33 >
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Cilvēka bērns, runā uz savu ļaužu bērniem un saki uz tiem: kad Es zobenu vedu pār kādu zemi, un tās zemes ļaudis ņem vienu vīru no savām robežām un to ieceļ sev par sargu,
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them:
3 Un viņš redz zobenu pār to zemi nākam un pūš ar bazūni un pamāca tos ļaudis,
And he see the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell the people:
4 Un ja kas to bazūnes skaņu dzirdēt dzird un neļaujas pamācīties, un zobens nāk un ņem viņu nost, - šī asinis lai ir uz viņa galvas.
Then he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 Viņš dzirdēja bazūnes skaņu, bet nelikās pamācīties, viņa asinis ir uz viņa. Bet kas ļaujas pamācīties, tas izglābs savu dvēseli.
He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not look to himself, his blood shall be upon him: but if he look to himself, he shall save his life.
6 Bet kad tas sargs redz zobenu nākam un nepūš ar bazūni, tā ka tie ļaudis netiek pamācīti, un zobens nāk un ņem no tiem kādu dvēseli nost: tas gan savā noziegumā ir noņemts, bet viņa asinis Es prasīšu no tā sarga rokas.
And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman.
7 Tu tad cilvēka bērns, Es tevi esmu licis par sargu Israēla namam, ka tev nu no Manas mutes to vārdu būs klausīt un tos pamācīt no Manas puses.
So thou, O son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me.
8 Kad Es uz bezdievīgo saku. bezdievīgais, tu mirdams mirsi, un tu nemāci bezdievīgo, lai atgriežas no sava ļaunā ceļa, tad bezdievīgais nomirs savā noziegumā, bet viņa asinis Es prasīšu no tavas rokas.
When I say to the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man from his way: that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
9 Bet ja tu bezdievīgo pamāci, lai atgriežas no sava ceļa, un viņš neatgriežas no sava ceļa, tad viņš mirs savā noziegumā, bet tu savu dvēseli esi izglābis.
But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way: he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 Tādēļ, cilvēka bērns, saki uz Israēla namu: jūs runājiet tā un sakāt: mūsu pārkāpumi un mūsu grēki ir uz mums, un mēs iekš tiem ejam bojā, kā tad mēs varam dzīvot?
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you have spoken, saying: Our iniquities, and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them: how then can we live?
11 Saki uz tiem: tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, Man nepatīk bezdievīgā nāve, bet ka bezdievīgais atgriežas no sava ceļa un dzīvo. Atgriežaties, atgriežaties no saviem ļauniem ceļiem. Jo kāpēc jūs gribat mirt, jūs no Israēla nama?
Say to them: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways: and why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 Tu tad, cilvēka bērns, saki uz savu ļaužu bērniem: taisno taisnība neizglābs viņa pārkāpšanas dienā, un bezdievīgais savas bezdievības dēļ neies bojā, kad tas atgriežas no savas bezdievības. Un pats taisnais nevar dzīvot caur savu taisnību, kad viņš apgrēkojās.
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the children of thy people: The justice of the just shall not deliver him, in what day soever he shall sin: and the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him, in what day soever he shall turn from his wickedness: and the just shall not be able to live in his justice, in what day soever he shall sin.
13 Kad Es uz taisno saku, ka tas dzīvot dzīvos, un tas paļaujas uz savu taisnību un dara nepareizi, tad visa viņa taisnība netaps pieminēta, bet viņš mirs tai netaisnībā, ko viņš dara.
Yea, if I shall say to the just that he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and in his iniquity, which he hath committed, in the same shall he die.
14 Un kad Es uz bezdievīgo saku: tu mirdams mirsi, un tas atgriežas no saviem grēkiem un dara tiesu un taisnību,
And if I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice,
15 Tā ka bezdievīgais ķīlu atdod, laupījumu maksā un staigā dzīvības likumos, nevienam nedarīdams nepareizi, - tad tas dzīvot dzīvos un nemirs.
And if that wicked man restore the pledge, and render what he had robbed, and walk in the commandments of life, and do no unjust thing: he shall surely live, and shall not die.
16 Visi viņa grēki, ko viņš darījis, viņam netaps pieminēti; viņš darījis tiesu un taisnību, dzīvot viņš dzīvos.
None of his sins, which he hath committed, shall be imputed to him: he hath done judgment and justice, he shall surely live.
17 Tomēr tavu ļaužu bērni saka: Tā Kunga ceļš nav taisns! Bet viņu ceļš nav taisns.
And the children of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not equitable: whereas their own way is unjust.
18 Kad taisnais nogriežas no savas taisnības un dara nepareizi, tad viņš caur to mirs.
For when the just shall depart from his justice, and commit iniquities, he shall die in them.
19 Un kad bezdievīgais nogriežas no savas bezdievības un dara tiesu un taisnību, tad viņš caur to dzīvos.
And when the wicked shall depart from his wickedness, and shall do judgments, and justice: be shall live in them.
20 Bet jūs sakāt: Tā Kunga ceļš nav pareizs. Es jūs tiesāšu, ikvienu pēc viņa ceļiem, ak Israēla nams! -
And you say: The way of the Lord is not right, I will judge every one of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.
21 Un notikās divpadsmitā gadā pēc mūsu aizvešanas, desmitā mēnesī, piektā mēneša dienā, tad viens pie manis atnāca, kas no Jeruzālemes bija izglābies, un sacīja: tā pilsēta ir izkauta.
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that there came to me one that was fled from Jerusalem, saying: The city is laid waste.
22 Bet Tā Kunga roka vakarā, iepriekš tā izglābtā atnākšanas, bija nākusi pār mani un atvērusi manu muti, pirms šis rītā pie manis nāca, un mana mute palika atvērta, un es nebiju vairs mēms.
And the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before he that was fled came: and he opened my mouth till he came to me in the morning, and my mouth being opened, I was silent no more.
23 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 Cilvēka bērns! Tie, kas viņās posta vietās dzīvo Israēla zemē, runā un saka: Ābrahāms bija viens vienīgs un iemantoja to zemi, bet mūsu ir daudzi, tā zeme mums ir dota par mantību.
Son of man, they that dwell in these ruinous places in the land of Israel, speak, saying: Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many, the land is given us in possession.
25 Tādēļ saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: jūs ēdat asinis un paceļat savas acis uz saviem elkiem un izlejat asinis, - un jūs to zemi gribat paturēt par mantību?
Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God, You that eat with the blood and lift up your eyes to your uncleannesses, and that shed blood: shall you possess the land by inheritance?
26 Jūs stāvat uz savu zobenu, jūs darāt negantību un apgānāt cits cita sievu, un jūs to zemi gribat paturēt par mantību?
You stood on your swords, you have committed abominations, and every one hath defiled his neighbour’s wife; and shall you possess the land by inheritance?
27 Tā tev uz viņiem būs sacīt: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, tie, kas tais posta vietās dzīvo, kritīs caur zobenu, un to, kas uz lauka, Es nodošu zvēriem par barību, un tie, kas stiprās vietās un alās, mirs caur mēri.
Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord God: As I live, they that dwell in the ruinous places, shall fall by the sword: and he that is in the field, shall be given to the beasts to be devoured: and they that are in holds, and caves, shall die of the pestilence.
28 Un to zemi Es darīšu par posta vietu un tuksnesi, un viņas lepnais stiprums beigsies, un Israēla kalni būs postā, ka tur neviens pāri neies.
And I will make the land a wilderness, and a desert, and the proud strength thereof shall fail, and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, because there is none to pass by them.
29 Tad tie samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es to zemi būšu darījis par posta vietu un par tuksnesi visas viņu negantības dēļ, ko tie darījuši.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made their land waste and desolate, for all their abominations which they have committed.
30 Un tu, cilvēka bērns, tavu ļaužu bērni runā pret tevi istabās un nama durvīs, un viens runā ar otru, ikviens ar savu brāli, un saka: nāciet jel, dzirdēsim, kas tas tāds vārds, kas no Tā Kunga nāk.
And thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another each men to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.
31 Un tie nāks pie tevis, tā kā ļaudis mēdz nākt, un sēž tavā priekšā kā Mani ļaudis un klausa tavus vārdus, bet tos nedara; jo tie ir mīlīgi ar savu muti, bet viņu sirds dzenās mantai pakaļ.
And they come to thee, as if a people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness.
32 Un redzi! Tu tiem esi kā jauka dziesmiņa, kā skaista balss, kas labi skan, tādēļ tie klausa tavus vārdus, bet tos nedara.
And thou art to them as a musical song which is sung with a sweet and agreeable voice: and they hear thy words, and do them not.
33 Bet kad nāks, - un redzi, nāk! - Tad tie samanīs, ka pravietis ir bijis viņu vidū.
And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, (for behold it is coming, ) then shall they know that a prophet bath been among them.
