Ecechiela 9

1 Un Viņš sauca priekš manām ausīm ar stipru balsi un sacīja: lai nāk tuvu tie pilsētas piemeklētāji, un ikviens ar saviem kaujamiem ieročiem rokā.

Then I heard him shout out with a loud voice, “Start the attack, you who are in charge of punishing Jerusalem! Pick up your weapons!”

2 Un redzi, seši vīri nāca no augšvārtu ceļa, kas pret ziemeli, ikviens savu kaujamo ieroci rokā. Bet viens vīrs bija viņu vidū, audeklī ģērbies, un rakstāmās lietas pie gurniem. Un tie nāca iekšā un nostājās vara altārim sānis.

I watched as six men approached from the upper gate that faces north. All of them were carrying battle axes. There was another man with them. He was dressed in linen and had a scribe's writing kit at his side. They entered and stood next to the bronze altar.

3 Un Israēla Dieva godība aizcēlās no tā ķeruba, virs kā tā bija, pie nama sliekšņa, un sauca tam vīram, kas ģērbies audeklī, kam tās rakstāmās lietas bija pie gurniem.

The glory of the God of Israel rose from its usual place on the cherubim and went over to the Temple entrance. The Lord called out to the man dressed in linen with the writing kit,

4 Un Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: ej pa pilsētu cauri, pa Jeruzālemi cauri, un apzīmē ar zīmi pie pierēm tos ļaudis, kas nopūšas un vaid par visām šīm negantībām, kas viņu starpā top darītas.

“Go through the whole the city of Jerusalem and place a mark on the foreheads of those who sighing and mourning at all the disgusting sins that are done there.”

5 Bet uz tiem citiem Viņš sacīja priekš manām ausīm: ejat pa pilsētu viņam pakaļ un kaujiet jūsu acs lai nežēlo, un nesaudzējiet.

Then I heard him tell the others, “Follow him all through the city and start killing people. Don't be kind or merciful to anyone!

6 Nokaujiet sirmgalvjus, jaunekļus un jaunietes un bērnus un sievas, kamēr jūs tos izdeldējat. Bet neaizskariet nevienu no tiem, pie kā tā zīme ir. Un iesāciet no manas svētās vietas. Un tie iesāka pie tiem vecajiem, kas tā nama priekšā bija.

Kill the old men, the young men and girls, the women and children, but do not go anywhere near those who have the mark. Start at my sanctuary.” So they started by killing the elders who were in front of the Temple.

7 Un Viņš uz tiem sacīja: sagāniet to namu un piepildiet tos pagalmus ar nokautiem; izejiet! Un tie izgāja un sita to pilsētu.

Then he told them, “Make the Temple unclean and fill the courtyards with dead bodies. Go ahead and do it!” So they went and started killing all through the city.

8 Un notikās, kad tie tos sita un es atliku, tad es kritu uz savu vaigu un brēcu un sacīju: ak Kungs, Dievs! Vai Tu visus atlikušos iekš Israēla gribi izdeldēt, izgāzdams Savu bardzību pār Jeruzālemi?

While they were busy killing people, I was left by myself. I fell facedown to the ground and cried out, “Lord God, when you pour out your anger on Jerusalem, are you going to destroy everyone who's left in Israel?”

9 Tad Viņš uz mani sacīja: Israēla un Jūda nama noziegums ir ļoti varen liels, un zeme ir ar asinīm piepildīta, un pilsēta ir netaisnības pilna; jo tie saka: Tas Kungs zemi atstājis, un Tas Kungs neredz.

“The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are really terrible,” he replied. “The whole country is full of murderers, and those living in the city are criminals. They're saying, ‘The Lord has given up on our country. He can't see what we're doing.’

10 Tad ir Mana acs nežēlos, un Es nesaudzēšu, Es metīšu viņu grēkus uz viņu galvu.

But I certainly won't be kind to them or have mercy on them. I will make sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done.”

11 Un redzi, tas vīrs, kas ģērbies audeklī, kam tās rakstāmās lietas bija pie gurniem, atnesa vēsti atpakaļ un sacīja: es esmu darījis, kā Tu man pavēlējis.

Then the man in linen with the writing kit returned and reported, “I've done what you told me to do.”
