< Ecechiela 44 >
1 Un viņš mani veda atpakaļ pie svētās vietas ārējiem vārtiem, kas ir pret rīta pusi, un tie bija aizslēgti.
Then [in the vision] the man brought me back to the outer entryway to the temple [area], the one on the east side, but the outer entrance was shut.
2 Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: šie vārti lai stāv aizslēgti, tie nav jāatver, un neviens pa tiem lai neieiet, tāpēc ka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, pa tiem ir iegājis, tāpēc lai tie stāv aizslēgti.
Yahweh said to me, “This entrance must remain shut. It must not be opened [by anyone]; no one will be permitted to enter it. It must remain shut because [I], Yahweh, the God of Israel, have [caused it to be sacred by] entering through it.
3 Par valdnieku jāsaka: kas valdnieks, tas lai tur sēž, maizi ēst Tā Kunga priekšā; pa vārtu priekšnamu tam būs ieiet un pa to pašu ceļu tam būs iziet.
Only the king [of Israel] will be permitted to sit inside this entryway to eat food in the presence of Yahweh. But he will must enter and leave [the temple area] through the entry room of this entryway.”
4 Un viņš mani veda pie ziemeļa vārtiem nama priekšā, un es redzēju, un raugi, Tā Kunga godība piepildīja to namu; tad es kritu uz savu vaigu.
Then the man brought me through the north entryway to the front of the temple. I looked and saw that the glory of Yahweh filled his temple, and I prostrated myself on the ground.
5 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: cilvēka bērns, ņem vērā un redzi ar savām acīm un klausies ar savām ausīm visu, ko Es ar tevi runāju par visiem Tā Kunga nama likumiem un par visiem viņa baušļiem, un ņem vērā tā nama ieejamo vietu ar visām tām svētās vietas izejamām vietām.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look carefully, and listen carefully to everything that I tell you about all the regulations concerning the temple. Note carefully the temple entrance and all the exits.
6 Un saki uz tiem pārgalvīgiem, uz Israēla namu; tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: nu ir gan, Israēla nams, ar visu jūsu negantību.
Say this to the rebellious Israeli people: ‘This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: You Israeli people, I will no longer endure the detestable things that you do!
7 Ja jūs esat ieveduši svešiniekus ar neapgraizītām sirdīm un neapgraizītām miesām, ka tie bija Manā svētā vietā, to sagānīt, Manu namu, kad jūs upurējāt Manu maizi, taukus un asinis, un tie Manu derību lauza pie visām jūsu negantībām.
In addition to all the other detestable things that you do, you brought into my temple foreign men who had not been circumcised and who were godless [IDM]. By doing that, you caused my temple to be an unacceptable place to worship me, while you offered food and fat and blood, and you disobeyed my agreement with you.
8 Un jūs neesat izpildījuši savu svēto kalpošanu, bet citus sev esat iecēluši, kalpot Manā svētā vietā.
Instead of doing what I commanded you to do in regard to my holy things, you appointed foreigners to be in charge of my temple.
9 Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: nevienam svešiniekam, kam neapgraizīta sirds un neapgraizīta miesa, nebūs ieiet Manā svētā vietā, no visiem tiem svešiniekiem, kas ir starp Israēla bērniem.
But this is what [I], Yahweh, have said: No foreigners, no men who are not circumcised, no godless people are permitted to enter my temple, not even foreigners who live among you [Israelis permanently].
10 Bet tie leviti, kas tālu no Manis atkāpušies, kad Israēls maldīdamies no manis nomaldījās saviem elkiem pakaļ, tie gan nesīs savu noziegumu.
[Most of] the descendants of Levi abandoned me along with [most of] the Israeli people, and started to worship idols. They must be punished for their sin.
11 Un tiem būs kalpot Manā svētā vietā par sargiem pie nama vārtiem, un tiem būs to namu apkopt, tiem būs kaut dedzināmos un kaujamos upurus priekš tiem ļaudīm, un viņu priekšā stāvēt, viņiem kalpodami.
They are [still] permitted to work in my temple and to be in charge of the entrances of the temple, and they are permitted to slaughter the animals that will be completely burned on the altar, and [to burn other] sacrifices for the people, and they will [be able to] help the people.
12 Tāpēc ka tie viņiem ir kalpojuši viņu elku priekšā un Israēla namam bijuši par apgrēcību uz noziedzību, tāpēc Es paceļu Savu roku pret tiem, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, ka tiem būs nest savu noziegumu.
But because they helped the people to worship idols and caused [many of] the Israeli people [MTY] to sin [by worshiping idols], I have lifted up my arm and solemnly declared that they must be punished for their sin.
13 Un tiem nebūs Man tuvoties, Man būt par priesteriem nedz pieiet pie visām Manām svētām un tām visu svētākām lietām, bet tiem būs savu kaunu nest un savas negantības, ko tie darījuši.
They must not come near me to serve as priests. They must not come near any sacred things or the holy offerings. They must be ashamed of the shameful things that they did.
14 Tāpēc Es tos ieceļu par sargiem, to namu kopt pie viņa darba, un pie visa, kas iekš tā būs jādara.
But I will still put them in charge of the work in the temple and allow them to do all the work that needs to be done there.
15 Bet tie priesteri un Levja cilts, Cadoka bērni, kas to kalpošanu izpildījuši Manā svētā vietā, kad Israēla bērni no Manis nomaldījās, tiem Man būs tuvoties, Man kalpot un stāvēt Manā priekšā, Man upurēt taukus un asinis, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
But [most of] the priests who are descendants of Levi and from the clan of Zadok worked in my temple when the [other] Israelis abandoned me. [So they] are permitted to come near to me to work for me. They will stand in my presence to offer [sacrifices of animals’] fat and blood.
16 Tiem būs ieiet Manā svētā vietā, un tiem būs nostāties pie Mana galda, Man kalpot un Manu kalpošanu izpildīt.
They [are the only ones who] are permitted to enter my temple. They are [the only ones who are] permitted to come near my altar to serve me and do what I tell them to do.
17 Un kad tie nāks pie tā iekšējā pagalma vārtiem, tad tiem būs apvilkt linu drēbes, bet vilnainās tiem nebūs ģērbties, kad tie iekšējā pagalma vārtu iekšpusē kalpo.
When they enter [one of] the entrances into the inner courtyard, they must wear linen clothes. They must not wear any clothes [made] of wool while they do their work at the entrances of the inner courtyard or inside [the temple].
18 Linu autiem būs būt uz viņu galvām un linu ūzām(biksēm) uz viņu gurniem, un tiem nebūs apjozties sviedros.
They must have linen turbans [wrapped] around their heads and wrap linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that would cause them to perspire.
19 Un kad tie iziet ārējā pagalmā, proti ārējā pagalmā pie tiem ļaudīm, tad tiem būs novilkt savas drēbes, ar ko tie kalpojuši, un tās nolikt svētās vietas kambaros, un tiem būs apvilkt citas drēbes, lai tie tos ļaudis nesvētī ar savām drēbēm.
Before they go out into the outer courtyard where [other] people are, they must take off the clothes that they have been wearing and leave them in the sacred rooms, and they must put on other clothes, in order that the other people are not punished because of [their touching] the sacred clothes.
20 Un tiem savu galvu nebūs pliku nodzīt nedz arī saviem matiem likt gari izaugt, bet tiem savus matus būs apcirpt.
The priests must not shave their heads or allow their hair to become long; but they must regularly trim [the edges of] their hair.
21 Un nevienam priesterim nebūs vīna dzert, kad tiem jāiet iekšējā pagalmā.
Priests must not drink wine before they enter the inner courtyard.
22 Tiem arīdzan nebūs ņemt nedz atraitni nedz atšķirtu par sievu, bet jumpravas no Israēla nama dzimuma; bet atraitni, kas ir priestera atraitne, to viņi var ņemt.
[Also], priests must not marry widows [of men who were not priests] or women who have been divorced. [Priests are permitted to marry only] Israeli [MTY] virgins or widows of [other] priests.
23 Un tiem būs mācīt Maniem ļaudīm izšķirt svētu un nesvētu, un tiem darīt zināmu starpību starp nešķīstu un šķīstu;
Priests must teach the people the difference between things that are holy/sacred and things that are not, and they must teach them the difference between things that are acceptable to me and things that are not.
24 Un tiem būs stāvēt par tiesas lietām un tiesāt, pēc Manām tiesām tiem būs tiesāt, un tiem būs turēt Manus baušļus un Manus likumus visos Manos svētkos un svētīt Manas svētdienas.
When there are disputes [between people], the priests are the ones who must be the judges and decide according to my laws what must be done. They must obey all my laws and decrees concerning the sacred festivals, and they must keep my Sabbath days (holy/set apart).
25 Un nevienam no tiem nebūs iet pie kāda miruša cilvēka, lai netop nešķīsts; bet tēva un mātes dēļ, vai dēla un meitas dēļ, brāļa un māsas dēļ, kas nav bijusi pie vīra, tiem ir brīv tapt nešķīstiem.
A priest is permitted to go near the corpse of his father or his mother or his son or his daughter or his brother or his unmarried sister; but he is still defiled by doing that. But a priest must not defile himself by going near a corpse of anyone else.
26 Un pēc viņa šķīstīšanās vēl septiņas dienas jāpieskaita.
But [even] if a priest touches the corpse [of a close relative, he must perform the rituals to become acceptable to serve me again]. After he performs those rituals, he must wait seven days.
27 Un tai dienā, kad viņš ieies svētā vietā, iekšējā pagalmā, kalpot svētā vietā, tad tam būs upurēt savu grēku upuri, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
Then, on the day that he enters the inner courtyard [again] to serve me in the temple, he must give an offering to remove his guilt for his sin. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
28 Un tas tiem būs par mantību: Es esmu viņu mantība; tāpēc jums tiem nekādu sevišķu daļu nebūs dot iekš Israēla, - Es esmu viņu daļa.
The priests are not permitted to own any property. They will have only what I [provide for them].
29 Ēdamo upuri un grēku upuri un nozieguma upuri, tos tiem būs ēst, un viss, kas iekš Israēla (Dievam) apsolīts, tiem piederēs.
They will eat the offerings [other people make] from grain, offerings to remove people’s guilt for having sinned, and offerings made when people fail to give to Yahweh the things that they are required to give. Everything [else] in Israel that is completely dedicated to [me], Yahweh, will belong to the priests.
30 Un visu pirmo augļu pirmaji no visa un visi cilājamie upuri no visiem jūsu cilājamiem upuriem lai pieder priesteriem. Arī savas mīklas pirmajus jums būs dot priesterim, lai svētība paliek uz tava nama.
The best fruits of the first part of each harvest and all the [other] special gifts that are given to me will belong to the priests. You must give them the first part of your finely-ground flour, in order that I will bless [the people who live in] [MTY] your houses.
31 Nekādu maitu, nedz saplosītu no putniem un no lopiem priesteriem nebūs ēst.
Priests must not eat the flesh of any bird or animal that was found dead or that has been killed by wild animals.’”
