Ecechiela 20

1 Un notikās septītā gadā, piektā mēnesī, desmitā mēneša dienā, tad nāca vīri no Israēla vecajiem, To Kungu vaicāt, un apsēdās manā priekšā.

And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month: there came men of the ancients of Israel to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.

2 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

3 Cilvēka bērns, runā uz Israēla vecajiem un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: vai jūs esat nākuši, Mani vaicāt? Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Es negribu, ka jūs Mani vaicājiet.

Son of man, speak to the ancients of Israel, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, saith the Lord God.

4 Vai tu tos gribi tiesāt? Vai tu gribi tiesāt, cilvēka bērns? Tad stāsti tiem viņu tēvu negantības!

If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, son of man, declare to them the abominations of their fathers.

5 Un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tai dienā, kad Es Israēli izredzēju, tad Es pacēlu Savu roku pār Jēkaba nama dzimumu un tiem parādījos Ēģiptes zemē; Es pacēlu Savu roku pār tiem un sacīju: Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.

And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God:

6 Tai dienā Es pacēlu Savu roku pār tiem un tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes uz zemi, ko Es priekš viņiem biju izlūkojis, kur piens un medus tek, kas ir jaukāka pār visām zemēm.

In that day I lifted up my hand for them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelleth amongst all lands.

7 Un Es uz tiem sacīju: atmetiet ikviens savu acu gānekļus no sevis nost un neapgānāties ar Ēģiptes elkiem; Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.

And I said to them: Let every man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

8 Bet tie bija stūrgalvīgi pret Mani un negribēja Mani klausīt; neviens neatmeta savu acu gānekļus un neatstājās no Ēģiptes elkiem. Tāpēc Es sacīju: Es pār tiem izgāzīšu Savu bardzību un izdarīšu pie tiem Savu dusmību pašā Ēģiptes zemē.

But they provoked me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: and I said I would pour out my indignation upon them, and accomplish my wrath against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

9 Bet es darīju sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš pagānu acīm, kuru vidū tie bija, priekš kuru acīm Es tiem biju parādījies, tos izvest no Ēģiptes zemes.

But I did otherwise for my name’s sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

10 Un Es tos izvedu no Ēģiptes zemes un tos vadīju tuksnesī.

Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the desert.

11 Un Es tiem devu Savus likumus un tiem darīju zināmas tiesas, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo.

And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them.

12 Es tiem arī devu Savas svētās dienas, ka tās būtu par zīmi starp Mani un viņiem, lai tie atzītu, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas tos svētī.

Moreover I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.

13 Bet Israēla nams bija stūrgalvīgs pret Mani tuksnesī; tie nestaigāja Manos likumos un atmeta Manas tiesas, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo; un tie ļoti sagānīja Manas svētās dienas, tā ka Es sacīju: Es Savu bardzību pār tiem gribu izgāzt tuksnesī un tiem darīt galu.

But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them.

14 Bet Es darīju Sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš to pagānu acīm, priekš kuru acīm Es tos biju izvedis.

But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight.

15 Un tomēr Es Savu roku pacēlu pret tiem tuksnesī, tos nevest tai zemē, ko Es tiem biju devis, kur piens un medus tek, kas ir jaukāka pār visām zemēm:

So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands.

16 Tādēļ ka tie atmeta Manas tiesas un nestaigāja Manos likumos un sagānīja Manas svētās dienas; jo viņu sirds dzinās pakaļ viņu elkiem.

Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols.

17 Bet Mana acs tos žēloja, ka Es tos nenomaitāju un tiem galu nedarīju tuksnesī.

Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert.

18 Un Es sacīju uz viņu bērniem tuksnesī: nestaigājiet savu tēvu likumos un nesargājiet viņu tiesas un neapgānāties ar viņu elkiem,

And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols:

19 Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs; staigājiet manos likumos un sargājiet manas tiesas un dariet tās.

I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them.

20 Un svētījiet manas svētās dienas, lai tās ir par zīmi starp mani un jums, un jūs samanāt, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs.

And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God.

21 Bet arī tie bērni bija stūrgalvīgi pret Mani, tie nestaigāja Manos likumos un nesargāja Manas tiesas, tās nedarīdami, ko cilvēkam būs darīt, lai caur tām dzīvo; tie sagānīja Manas svētās dienas, tā ka Es sacīju: Es Savu bardzību pār tiem gribu izgāzt un Savu dusmību pret tiem izdarīt tuksnesī.

But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shell live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert.

22 Bet Es atturēju Savu roku Sava vārda dēļ, ka tas netaptu sagānīts priekš to pagānu acīm, priekš kuru acīm Es tos biju izvedis.

But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight.

23 Un taču Es pacēlu Savu roku pret tiem tuksnesī, tos izkaisīt starp tiem pagāniem un tos izputināt pa tām valstīm,

Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries:

24 Tādēļ ka tie Manas tiesas nebija darījuši, bet bija atmetuši Manus likumus un sagānījuši Manas svētās dienas un viņu acis dzinās pakaļ viņu tēvu elkiem.

Because they had not done my judgments, and had cast off my statutes, and had violated my sabbaths, and their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.

25 Tāpēc Es tiem arī devu likumus, kas nebija labi, un tiesas, caur ko tie nevarēja dzīvot.

Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live.

26 Un Es tos sagānīju ar viņu dāvanām, caur to, ka tie ikvienai pirmdzimtībai lika caur uguni iet, lai Es tos nopostītu, lai tie samanītu, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.

And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

27 Tādēļ cilvēka bērns, runā uz Israēla namu un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: jūsu tēvi Mani vēl ir zaimojuši, atkāpdamies no Manis.

Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blasphemed me, when they had despised and contemned me;

28 Kad Es tos biju novedis uz to zemi, par ko Savu roku biju pacēlis, viņiem to dot, tad tie izraudzījās ikkatru augstu pakalnu un ikkatru kuplu koku, un upurēja tur savus upurus un nonesa tur savas riebīgās dāvanas un kvēpināja tur savu saldo smaržu un upurēja turpat savus dzeramos upurus.

And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations.

29 Un Es uz tiem sacīju: kas tas par kalnu, kurp jūs ejat? Bet šī vārds līdz šai dienai ir nosaukts elka kalns.

And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day.

30 Tādēļ saki uz Israēla namu: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: jūs esat sagānījušies pa savu tēvu ceļiem un maukojušies viņu gānekļiem pakaļ.

Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations.

31 Tiešām, savas dāvanas upurēdami, saviem bērniem likdami caur uguni iet, jūs esat apgānījušies pie visiem saviem elkiem līdz šai dienai; vai Es no jums ļautos vaicāties, ak Israēla nams! Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, Es negribu, ka jūs Mani vaicājiet.

And you defile yourselves with all your: idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you.

32 Un kas jums prātā nācis, tas mūžam nenotiks, ka jūs sakāt: mēs turēsimies kā tās (pagānu) tautas un kā tās ciltis visās zemēs kalposim kokam un akmenim.

Neither shall the thought of your mind come to pass, by which you say: We will be as the Gentiles, and as the families of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.

33 Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, ar stipru roku un izstieptu elkoni un ar izgāztu bardzību Es pār jums gribu valdīt.

As I live, saith the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

34 Es jūs izvedīšu no tām tautām un jūs sapulcināšu no tām valstīm, kurp esat izkaisīti, ar stipru roku un izstieptu elkoni un ar izgāztu bardzību.

And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the countries, in which you are scattered, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

35 Un Es jūs vedīšu uz tautu tuksnesi, un tur es ar jums tiesāšos vaigu vaigā.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

36 Tā kā Es ar jūsu tēviem esmu tiesājies Ēģiptes zemes tuksnesī, tāpat Es ar jums tiesāšos, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.

As I pleaded against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt; even so will I judge you, saith the Lord God.

37 Un Es jums likšu staigāt apakš rīkstes un jūs vedīšu derības saitēs.

And I will make you subject to my sceptre, and will bring you into the bands of the covenant.

38 Un Es izmēzīšu no jums tos atkāpējus un atkritējus no Manis, un Es tos gan izvedīšu no tās zemes, kur piemita, bet uz Israēla zemi tie vairs nenāks, un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.

And I will pick out from among you the transgressors, and the wicked, and will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

39 Bet jūs no Israēla nama, tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: noejat, kalpojiet ikviens saviem elkiem! Bet pēclaikā, tad tiešām jūs Mani klausīsiet un vairs neapgānīsiet Manu svēto vārdu ar savām dāvanām un ar saviem elkiem.

And as for you, O house of Israel: thus saith the Lord God: Walk ye every one after your idols, and serve them. But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols;

40 Jo uz Mana svētā kalna, uz Israēla augstā kalna, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tur Man kalpos viss Israēla nams, visi, kas tanī zemē; tur man pie tiem būs labs prāts, un tur Es prasīšu jūsu cilājamos upurus un jūsu upuru pirmajus, ar visu, ko jūs Man svētījat.

In my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel serve me; all of them I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there will I require your firstfruits, and the chief of your tithes with all your sanctifications.

41 Man būs labs prāts pie jums kā pie saldas smaržas, kad Es jūs no tām tautām izvedīšu un jūs sapulcināšu no tām valstīm, kur bijāt izkaisīti, un Es caur jums pagodināšos priekš pagānu acīm.

I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

42 Un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es jūs ievedīšu Israēla zemē, tai zemē, par ko Es Savu roku esmu pacēlis, to dot jūsu tēviem.

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.

43 Tad jūs tur pieminēsiet savus ceļus un visus savus darbus, ar ko jūs esat apgānījušies, un jums pašiem riebs visa jūsu bezdievība, ko esat darījuši.

And there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed.

44 Tā jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es ar jums būšu darījis Sava vārda dēļ, ne pēc jūsu nikniem ceļiem un netikliem darbiem, ak Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have done well by you for my own name’s sake, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your wicked deeds, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God.

45 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

46 Cilvēka bērns, griez savu vaigu pret dienvidiem, un lai (tava valoda) pil pret dienvidiem, un sludini pret to mežu dienvidu klajumā.

Son of man, set thy face against the way of the south, and drop towards the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.

47 Un saki uz to mežu dienvidos: klausi Tā Kunga vārdu! Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi Es iededzināšu uguni iekš tevis, un tas iekš tevis aprīs visus zaļos kokus un visus sausos kokus; tās varenās liesmas nevarēs izdzēst, un tā sadegs viss, kas ir no dienvidiem līdz ziemeļiem.

And any to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the dame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north.

48 Un visa miesa redzēs, ka Es Tas Kungs to esmu iededzinājis; tas netaps izdzēsts.

And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched.

49 Un es sacīju: ak Kungs Dievs! Tie par mani saka: vai tas nav līdzības stāstītājs?

And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speak by parables?
