< Ecechiela 8 >
1 Un notikās sestā gadā, sestā mēnesī, piektā mēneša dienā: kad es sēdēju savā namā, un Jūda vecaji sēdēja manā priekšā, tad tur Tā Kunga Dieva roka krita uz mani.
On the fifth day of the sixth month of the sixth year, I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah and the power of the Lord God came over me there.
2 Un es redzēju, un raugi, tur bija viens, kam ģīmis bija kā uguns; no viņa gurniem lejup tas bija kā uguns, un no viņa gurniem augšup tas bija kā debess gaišums un kā gaiša zelta spožums.
I looked around and saw a being that looked like a man. From what seemed to be his waist downwards, he looked like fire. From what seemed to his waist upwards, he looked like brightly glowing metal.
3 Un Viņš izstiepa tā kā roku un mani sagrāba pie manas galvas matiem. Un Tas Gars mani pacēla starp zemi un debesi un mani aiznesa Dieva parādīšanā uz Jeruzālemi priekš iekšējā pagalma vārtu durvīm, kas stāv pret ziemeli, tur bija vieta tam riebīgam elka tēlam, kas bija par riebšanu.
He reached out what seemed to be a hand and picked me up by my hair. The Spirit took me up into the sky, and in the vision God was giving me he carried me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the Temple's inner courtyard, where the offensive idol that made God angry had been placed.
4 Un redzi, tur bija Israēla Dieva godība tāda pat, kādu es biju redzējis ielejā.
I saw the glory of the God of Israel there, just like I had in the vision I'd seen in the valley.
5 Un Viņš uz mani sacīja: cilvēka bērns, pacel jel savas acis pret ziemeli! Un es pacēlu savas acis pret ziemeli, un redzi, pret ziemeļa pusi pie altāra vārtiem bija šis riebīgais elks, kur iet iekšā.
“Son of man,” he told me, “now look to the north.” So I looked to the north, and in the entrance to the north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol that angered God.
6 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: cilvēka bērns, vai tu redzi, ko tie dara, tās lielās negantības, ko Israēla nams šeit dara, ka Man jāatstāj Sava svētā vieta? Bet tu redzēsi vēl lielākas negantības.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “can you see what they are doing? Look at the disgusting sins the people of Israel are committing that are driving me far away from my sanctuary? But you're going to see even more disgusting sins than these!”
7 Tad Viņš mani veda pie pagalma durvīm; un es redzēju, un raugi, tur bija caurums sienā.
He took me to the entrance to the Temple courtyard. As I looked around, I saw a hole in the wall.
8 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: cilvēka bērns, lauzies jel caur to sienu! Un es lauzos caur to sienu, un redzi, tur bija durvis.
“Son of man,” he told me, “pull the wall apart.” So I pulled the wall apart and found a doorway.
9 Tad Viņš sacīja uz mani: ej iekšā un redzi tās niknās negantības, ko tie še dara.
He told me, “Go through the wall and see the evil and disgusting things they are doing in here.”
10 Un es gāju iekšā un skatījos, un redzi, tur bija visādas bildes no līdējiem tārpiem un negantiem lopiem, visādi Israēla nama elkadievi, rakstīti pie sienas visapkārt.
So I went through the wall and saw carved images covering the walls, representing all kinds of reptiles and disgusting animals, as well as all the idols worshiped by the people of Israel.
11 Un septiņdesmit vīri no Israēla nama vecajiem un Jazanija, Safana dēls, šo vidū, stāvēja viņu priekšā, un ikvienam bija rokā savs kvēpināmais trauks, un smaržīgu dūmu mākonis cēlās uz augšu.
Seventy elders of the house of Israel were standing in front of them, including Jaazaniah son of Shaphan. They all were holding censers, producing a sweet-smelling cloud of incense that rose above them.
12 Tad Viņš sacīja uz mani: vai tu redzi, cilvēka bērns, ko Israēla nama vecaji dara tumsībā, ikviens savā elku kambarī? Jo tie saka: Tas Kungs mūs neredz, Tas Kungs zemi atstājis.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “can you see what the elders of the people of Israel are doing here in the dark, with each one worshiping in the shrine room of his own idol? This is what they're saying: ‘The Lord can't see what we're doing; besides the Lord has abandoned our country!’”
13 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: tu vēl redzēsi lielas negantības, ko tie dara.
The Lord went on to tell me, “You're going to see them doing even more disgusting things than these!”
14 Un Viņš mani veda pie Tā Kunga nama vārtu durvīm, kas pret ziemeli, un redzi, tur sēdēja sievas, tās apraudāja Tamusu.
Then he took me to the north entrance of the Lord's Temple. I saw women sitting there, weeping for the god Tammuz.
15 Un Viņš uz mani sacīja: vai tu to redzi, cilvēka bērns? Tu redzēsi vēl lielākas negantības nekā šīs.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “have you seen this? But you're going to see even more disgusting things than these!”
16 Un Viņš mani ieveda Tā Kunga nama iekšējā pagalmā, un redzi, pie Tā Kunga nama durvīm starp priekšnamu un altāri bija kādi divdesmit pieci vīri, ar muguru pret Tā Kunga namu un ar vaigu uz rītiem, un tie klanījās pret rīta pusi saules priekšā.
He took me to the inner courtyard of the Lord's Temple and right there at the entrance to the Temple, between the porch and the altar, were around twenty-five men. They had their backs to the Temple, and were facing towards the east. They were bowing in worship of the sun rising in the east.
17 Tad Viņš uz mani sacīja: vai tu to redzi, cilvēka bērns? Vai Jūda namam tā maza lieta, darīt tādas negantības, ko tie še dara, ka zemi piepilda ar varas darbu, un arvienu atkal Mani kaitina; jo redzi, vīna stīgas tie tur pie sava deguna!
“Son of man,” he said to me, “have you seen this? The people of Judah aren't content just to do these disgusting things. They also commit violent crimes across the country and keep on making me angry. Look at how they're deliberately insulting me!
18 Tāpēc Es arīdzan darīšu pēc Savas bardzības, un Mana acs nežēlos, un Es nesaudzēšu. Jebšu tie ar stipru balsi kliedz priekš Manām ausīm, tomēr Es tos neklausīšu.
As a result I will respond in anger. I won't treat them kindly; I won't be merciful to them. Even though they shout loudly for my help, I won't listen to them.”
