Ecechiela 22
1 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Tad nu, ak cilvēka bērns, vai gribi tiesāt, vai gribi tiesāt to asins pilsētu? Tad rādi viņai visas viņas negantības.
“So, son of man, are you ready to judge them? Are you ready to judge the people of this city that have caused so much bloodshed? Make them face all the disgusting things they've done,
3 Un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: ak pilsēta, kas asinis izlej savā vidū, lai viņas laiks nāk, un kas sev taisa elkus un apgānās.
and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You are a city who has caused your own doom by murdering people within your walls, and by making idols to worship that made you unclean.
4 Caur tām asinīm, ko izlējusi, tu esi noziegusies, un ar saviem elkiem, ko taisījusi, tu esi sagānījusies, un tavām dienām esi likusi tuvu nākt, un esi nākusi savos gados. Tādēļ Es tevi esmu nodevis pagāniem par nievāšanu un visām zemēm par apsmieklu.
You are guilty of murder, and you have made yourself unclean by the idols you've made. You have shortened your lives—your time is up! That's why other people taunt you—everyone mocks you.
5 Kas tuvu un kas tālu no tevis, tie tevi apsmies, tevi, kam vārds sagānīts un kas nekārtības pilna.
People far and near will laugh at you, you corrupt city full of confusion!
6 Redzi, Israēla valdnieki ikviens cik spēdams izlej asinis tavā vidū.
Look at how all of your leaders in Israel use their power to murder.
7 Tēvu un māti tie pie tevis nicina, svešiniekam tie dara varas darbu tavā vidū, bāriņus un atraitnes tie apspiež pie tevis.
You despise your parents. You exploit the foreigners who live with you, and you mistreat orphans and widows.
8 Manus svētumus tu nicini, un Manas svētās dienas tu sagāni.
You detest my holy things and violate my Sabbaths.
9 Mēlneši ir pie tevis, kas asinis izlej; tie ēd tavā vidū uz (elku)kalniem, dara bezkaunību tavā vidū.
Living among you are people who falsely accuse others in order to put them to death. You also have those who eat religious meals at pagan shrines in the mountains, and commit immoral acts within the city.
10 Tie atsedz pie tevis tēva kaunumu, un pieguļ pie tevis sārņiem nešķīstas sievas.
Some of those living in the city have sex with their father's wives or with women during their period.
11 Cits ar sava tuvāka sievu dara negantību, cits bezkaunīgi apgāna savu vedeklu, atkal cits atzīst savu māsu, sava tēva meitu, tavā vidū.
You're home to evil men. One does disgusting things with someone else's wife. Another seduces his daughter-in-law, while another rapes his sister, the daughter of his own father.
12 Tie ņem pie tevis dāvanas, izliet asinis; tu piedzen augļus un plēs pagaidus, un esi plēsīga pie sava tuvākā ar varasdarbu, bet Mani tu esi aizmirsusi, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
Your people take money to murder others. You charge interest and make a profit on loans, and use extortion to get money from your neighbors. You have forgotten all about me, declares the Lord God.
13 Redzi, tad Es sasitu savas rokas par to mantu, ko tu plēsi, un par tām asinīm, kas tavā vidū izlietas.
So watch out! I clap my hands in condemnation at your dishonest profiteering and at all your murders.
14 Vai tava sirds pastāvēs, vai tavas rokas būs stipras tanīs dienās, kad Es ar tevi tiesāšos? Es Tas Kungs to esmu runājis un to darīšu.
Are you going to be so brave, and will you be strong enough to defend yourselves when it comes time for me to deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I'm going to act.
15 Un Es tevi izkaisīšu starp tautām un tevi izklīdināšu pa valstīm un darīšu galu tavai nešķīstībai tavā vidū.
I'm going to scatter you among the nations and the different countries. I will put a stop to your unclean acts.
16 Un tu būsi nesvēta caur sevi pašu priekš pagānu acīm un samanīsi, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.
For when everyone else sees how you've made yourselves unclean, then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
17 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Cilvēka bērns! Israēla nams Man ir palicis par sārņiem, tie visi ir varš un alva un dzelzs un svins ceplī, tie ir palikuši par sudraba sārņiem.
“Son of man, the people of Israel have ended up like the impurities left over from refining metal. They're all like copper, tin, iron, and lead in the furnace—they are just the impurities left from refining silver.
19 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Tāpēc ka jūs visi esat palikuši par sārņiem, tad redzi, Es jūs sapulcināšu Jeruzālemes vidū.
So this is what the Lord God says: Because all of you have ended up like impurities, watch as I collect you together in Jerusalem.
20 Tā kā sudrabu un varu un dzelzi un svinu un alvu kopā liek ceplī, un uguni uzpūš apakšā, lai kausē, tā Es jūs sapulcināšu Savā dusmībā un bardzībā, un jūs ielikšu un kausēšu.
In the same way a refiner collects silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin and puts them in the blast furnace to melt them with fire, I'm going to collect you in my burning anger, and keep you there until I melt you.
21 Tiešām, Es jūs sapulcināšu un uzpūtīšu pret jums Savas dusmības uguni, ka jūs tur iekšā topat kausēti.
I'm going to collect you all together and blast you with the fire of my anger, and you'll be melted there in the city.
22 Tā kā sudrabs ceplī top kausēts, tāpat jūs tur tapsiet kausēti, un jūs samanīsiet, ka Es, Tas Kungs, Savu bardzību esmu izlējis pār jums.
Just as silver is melted in a furnace, so you'll be melted in the city. Then you will realize that I, the Lord, have made you experience my anger.”
23 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
24 Cilvēka bērns, saki uz to: tu esi zeme, kas nav šķīstīta, kur nelīst dusmības dienā.
“Son of man, tell the city of Jerusalem, at the time of punishment, you are a country that has not been made clean, a place where no rain has fallen,
25 Viņas pravieši cēluši dumpi viņas vidū; tā kā rūcošs lauva, kad tas laupījumu laupa, tā tie ēd dvēseles, tie plēš naudu un mantu, tie dara daudz atraitņu viņas vidū.
Her leaders conspire together and it's like watching a roaring lion ripping up its prey. They destroy the people, grab everything that's valuable, and make many more widows in the city.
26 Viņas priesteri neganti pārkāpj manu bauslību un sagāna manus svētumus, tie neizšķir svētu un nesvētu un nemāca izšķirt, kas šķīsts un kas nešķīsts, tie apsedz savas acis priekš manām, svētām dienām, un es viņu starpā topu sagānīts.
Her priests pervert my law and make my holy things unclean. They don't distinguish between what is holy and what is ordinary, and they don't separate the clean from the unclean. They forget about my Sabbaths, and they lead people to treat me with no respect.
27 Viņas virsnieki ir viņas vidū kā vilki, kas laupa laupījumu, izlej asinis, samaitā dvēseles, mantas kārības dēļ.
Her city officials are like wolves ripping up their prey, killing people, destroying lives so they can profit through fraud.
28 Un viņas pravieši tos apmet ar nelīpamiem kaļķiem un redz aplamas parādīšanas un sludina tiem melus un saka: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs; un tomēr Tas Kungs nav runājis.
Her prophets cover up what they do, using false visions as whitewash and prophecies that are lies, saying, ‘This is what the Lord God says,’ when the Lord hasn't said anything.
29 Tie ļaudis tai zemē dara varas darbu un laupīt laupa, un nabagu un bēdīgu tie plēš un svešinieku tie nospaida bez tiesas.
The people of this country are extortioners and robbers. They mistreat the poor and those in need and exploit the foreigners, treating them totally unfairly.
30 Tad Es meklēju kādu vīru no tiem, kas atkal sataisītu sētu un stātos plaisumā, manā priekšā aizstāvēt to zemi, ka Es to nemaitātu, bet Es neatradu neviena.
I tried to find one of them repair the wall and defend the gap so when I came I wouldn't destroy it—but I couldn't find anyone.
31 Tāpēc Es pār tiem esmu izlējis Savu bardzību, ar Savas dusmības uguni Es tiem esmu galu darījis, viņu grēkus Es tiem esmu metis uz viņu galvu, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
So I have let them experience my hostility, burning them up with the fire of my anger. I have made sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done, declares the Lord God.”
