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 that year], almost six years after we Israeli people had been (exiled/forced to go to Babylon), I was sitting in my house. The elders of Judah were sitting in front of me. Suddenly the power [MTY] of Yahweh the Lord came on me.
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.
[in a vision] I saw someone who resembled a man. Below his waist, [his body] was like fire, and above his waist [his body] was glowing like very hot 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 grabbed me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up high above the earth, and in visions God took me [from Babylon] to Jerusalem. He took me [to the temple], to the north gate, to the place where there was an idol that caused Yahweh to be very disgusted and furious.
4 Un redzi, tur bija Israēla Dieva godība tāda pat, kādu es biju redzējis ielejā.
And there in front of me was the brilliant light that indicated the presence of the God whom the Israeli [people previously worshiped. It was] like the vision that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
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.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look toward the north!” So I looked, and I saw in the entrance of the gate near the altar that idol that caused Yahweh to be disgusted and furious.
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.
He said to me, “You human, do you see what those Israeli people [MTY] are doing? They are doing detestable things here, things that will cause me to abandon my temple. But you will see things that are even more detestable.”
7 Tad Viņš mani veda pie pagalma durvīm; un es redzēju, un raugi, tur bija caurums sienā.
Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard. I looked and 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.
He said to me, “You human, dig through the wall here.” So I dug through the wall, and I saw a doorway inside.
9 Tad Viņš sacīja uz mani: ej iekšā un redzi tās niknās negantības, ko tie še dara.
He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things that they are doing there!”
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 in through the doorway and looked, and I saw, all over the [of a big room, drawings of] all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground and [other] detestable animals, and drawings of all the idols that the people of [were worshiping].
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.
In front of them stood 70 elders of Israel. Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing among them. Each of them was holding a pan in which incense was burning, and fragrant smoke of the burning incense was rising up.
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.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look at [RHQ] what the Israeli elders are doing here in the darkness, each of them standing in front of the shrine of his own idol! They are saying, ‘Yahweh does not see us; Yahweh has deserted this country.’”
13 Un Viņš sacīja uz mani: tu vēl redzēsi lielas negantības, ko tie dara.
He also said, “But you will see things that are even more detestable!”
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 entrance at the north gate of the temple. I saw women sitting there, mourning for [the death of the god of the people of Babylonia], Tammuz.
15 Un Viņš uz mani sacīja: vai tu to redzi, cilvēka bērns? Tu redzēsi vēl lielākas negantības nekā šīs.
He said to me, “You human, you see this [RHQ], but you will see things that are more detestable than this!”
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.
Then he took me into the courtyard outside the temple. There at the entrance of the temple, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men. Their backs were toward the temple and their faces were toward the east, and they were bowing down to [worship] the sun [as it rose] 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!
He said to me, “You human, you see [RHQ] what they are doing. [Do you think that] it is not important that these men of Judah are doing these detestable things here? [But they are doing other terrible things]. They are acting violently throughout their country, and continually causing me to be angry. Look at them! They are insulting me by their actions [IDM]!
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.
So I will show them that I am very angry. I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. And even if they shout to me [to help them], I will not pay attention to them.”
