Ecechiela 33
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
A message from 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, tell your people: If I brought an army to attack a country, the people there would choose one of them to be their watchman.
3 Un viņš redz zobenu pār to zemi nākam un pūš ar bazūni un pamāca tos ļaudis,
When he saw the army advancing to attack the country, he would blow the trumpet to warn everyone.
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.
So if you hear the trumpet but don't pay attention to the warning, and you're killed in the attack, you will be responsible for your own death.
5 Viņš dzirdēja bazūnes skaņu, bet nelikās pamācīties, viņa asinis ir uz viņa. Bet kas ļaujas pamācīties, tas izglābs savu dvēseli.
Since you heard the trumpet but didn't pay attention to the warning, then you will be responsible for your own death. If you had paid attention the warning, you could have saved your 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.
But if the watchman saw the attack coming and didn't blow the trumpet to warn everyone, and someone is killed, then that person will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their death.
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.
Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I tell you and warn them for 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.
If I tell the wicked ‘You're wicked; you're going to die’; but you don't warn them to change what they're doing, then they'll die in their sins and I will hold your responsible for their deaths.
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 you warn the wicked to change what they're doing, and they don't, they will die in their sins, but you will save your own life.
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?
Son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what they've been saying, ‘We recognize our sins and wrongs, and they weigh on us, wearing us out. How can we go on living?’
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?
Tell them: As I live, declares the Lord God, it brings me no pleasure when wicked people die. I wish they would stop sinning and live! Stop! Stop sinning! Why should you die, people 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.
So, son of man, tell your people: All the good things a good person has done won't save them when they sin; while the bad things a bad person has done won't be a problem for them if they stop sinning. But good people won't live if they start sinning.
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.
If I tell a good person that they will live and then they rely on their goodness and start sinning, then none of the good things they did will be remembered; he will die because of the sins.
14 Un kad Es uz bezdievīgo saku: tu mirdams mirsi, un tas atgriežas no saviem grēkiem un dara tiesu un taisnību,
But if I tell a bad person, ‘You're going to die’ and they stop sinning and do what is good and right,
15 Tā ka bezdievīgais ķīlu atdod, laupījumu maksā un staigā dzīvības likumos, nevienam nedarīdams nepareizi, - tad tas dzīvot dzīvos un nemirs.
if they return security given for a loan, pay back what they've stolen, and follows my laws about how to live, not doing wrong—then they will live; they won't die.
16 Visi viņa grēki, ko viņš darījis, viņam netaps pieminēti; viņš darījis tiesu un taisnību, dzīvot viņš dzīvos.
None of their sins will be remembered; they have done what is good and right and so they will live.
17 Tomēr tavu ļaužu bērni saka: Tā Kunga ceļš nav taisns! Bet viņu ceļš nav taisns.
However, your people are complaining, ‘What the Lord does isn't right.’ But it's what they're doing that isn't right.
18 Kad taisnais nogriežas no savas taisnības un dara nepareizi, tad viņš caur to mirs.
If a good person stops doing good and sins, they will die because of it.
19 Un kad bezdievīgais nogriežas no savas bezdievības un dara tiesu un taisnību, tad viņš caur to dzīvos.
On the other hand, if a bad person turns from their sins and they do what is good and right, they will live as a result.
20 Bet jūs sakāt: Tā Kunga ceļš nav pareizs. Es jūs tiesāšu, ikvienu pēc viņa ceļiem, ak Israēla nams! -
So how can you say, ‘What the Lord does isn't right’? Well, I'm going to judge each of you depending on what you've done, people 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.
On the fifth day of the tenth month of the twelfth year of our exile, a refugee who'd escaped from Jerusalem arrived and told me, “The city has been captured!”
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.
The previous evening before the messenger arrived the Lord had touched me so I could speak again. This was before the man came to see me in the morning. I wasn't mute any longer—I could speak again.
23 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
A message from 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, people living among the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, but the country was given to him to own. There's plenty of us, so the country should belong to us.’
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?
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You eat meat with the blood still in it. You go and worship your idols. You commit murder. Do you really think the country should belong to you?
26 Jūs stāvat uz savu zobenu, jūs darāt negantību un apgānāt cits cita sievu, un jūs to zemi gribat paturēt par mantību?
You rely on your swords to get your way. You have done some disgusting things. You're all having sex with each other's wives. Should the country belong to you?
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.
Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: As I live, in the people living among the ruins will be killed by the sword. Those living in the countryside will be eaten by wild animals. Those living in the fortresses and caves will die from disease.
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.
I will turn the country into a wasteland, and power you are so proud of will be ended. The mountains of Israel will become wild places that no one will want to travel through.
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.
Then the people will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I have turned the country into a wasteland because of all the disgusting things they have done.
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.
Son of man, your people are talking about you out in the streets and in the doorways of their houses. They encourage one another, saying, ‘Come on! Let's go and hear a message 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.
So my people come and visit you like they usually do. They sit and listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it. Even though they talk about love, all they're thinking about is how to cheat others.
32 Un redzi! Tu tiem esi kā jauka dziesmiņa, kā skaista balss, kas labi skan, tādēļ tie klausa tavus vārdus, bet tos nedara.
In fact, to them you're just someone who sings love songs with a lovely voice and who is a fine musician. They listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it.
33 Bet kad nāks, - un redzi, nāk! - Tad tie samanīs, ka pravietis ir bijis viņu vidū.
So when what you say does happen (and it will), then they will realize that they did have a prophet among them.”
