Ecechiela 24

1 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani devītā gadā, desmitā mēnesī, desmitā mēneša dienā, sacīdams:

On the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Cilvēka bērns, uzraksti sev šīs dienas, šīs pašas dienas vārdu: Bābeles ķēniņš šai dienā ir apmeties pret Jeruzālemi.

“Son of man, write down today's date, because this is the day that the king of Babylon started his siege of Jerusalem.

3 Saki līdzību pret to atkāpēju sugu un saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: cel podu pie uguns, cel to klāt, ielej arīdzan ūdeni iekšā.

Then repeat the following parable to these rebellious people. Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Get a pot and set it on the fire. Pour in some water.

4 Saliec tos gabalus tur iekšā, visus labos gabalus, cisku un pleci, pildi to ar tiem visulabākiem kauliem.

Fill it with some good cuts of meat from the thigh and the shoulder. Put in the best bones.

5 Ņem no visulabākām avīm un iekuri arī uguni apakš tiem kauliem, lai labi vārās, un kauli, kas iekšā, lai labi izvārās.

Choose the best animal from the flock. Pile up the fuel underneath it. Get it boiling and cook the bones in it.

6 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Ak vai tai asins pilsētai, tam podam, kas sarūsējis un kam rūsa negrib noiet. Gabalu pēc gabala ņem ārā, meslus par to nemet.

So this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the city of that has shed so much blood! It is symbolized by the rusted pot, whose rust can't be cleaned off. Take out the meat bit by bit as it comes—don't choose which piece.

7 Jo viņas asinis ir viņas vidū, viņa tās ir izlējusi uz kailas klints un tās nav izgāzusi zemē, ka pīšļi tās apklātu.

For the blood she shed is still inside the city. She shed it openly on bare rock—she didn't even spill it on the ground and cover it up with dirt.

8 Sūtīt bardzību un parādīt atriebšanu, Es viņas asinis esmu licis izliet uz kailas klints, ka netop apklātas.

In my anger and to punish, I have spilled her blood openly on bare rock, so it wouldn't be covered up.

9 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: Ak vai, tai asins pilsētai! Arī es kurināšu uguni lielu.

So this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the city of that has shed so much blood. I will also pile up a large heap of firewood.

10 Pienesi daudz malkas, iededzini uguni, savāri gaļu, un zāļo to ar zālēm, un lai tie kauli savārās.

Put on plenty of wood and light the fire. Make sure the meat is well cooked and add spices. Burn the bones.

11 Pēc tam cel viņu tukšu uz oglēm, lai tas top karsts un lai viņa varš nodeg sarkans un viņa netīrums, kas tur iekšā, izkūst, un viņa rūsa top izdeldēta.

Then put the empty pot back on the burning coals until it's hot and the copper metal glows. This will melt the dirt inside it and get rid of the rust.

12 Viņš dara lielu pūliņu, un viņa rūsa negrib noiet, viņa rūsa pastāv ugunī

So far it's been impossible to clean it —even fire couldn't burn out all its rust.

13 Tavas negantās nešķīstības dēļ; tādēļ ka Es tevi esmu šķīstījis, un tu neesi palikusi šķīsta, tad tu no savas nešķīstības vairs netapsi šķīsta, kamēr Es Savu bardzību pie tevis bušu izdarījis.

Because of your immorality you had made yourself unclean and I tried to clean you, but you refused to let me clean away your filth. So now you won't be pure again until I've finished being angry with you.

14 Es Tas Kungs to esmu runājis, tā būs, un to Es darīšu, Es no tā neatstāšos un nesaudzēšu un neapželošos; pēc taviem ceļiem un pēc taviem darbiem tevi sodīs, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.

I, the Lord, have spoken. The time is soon coming when I will do what I say. I won't change my mind or show pity, I won't stop. I will judge you by your attitude and actions, declares the Lord God.”

15 Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

16 Cilvēka bērns, redzi, Es atņemšu tavu acu jaukumu caur vienu sitienu; tomēr tev nebūs žēloties nedz raudāt nedz asaras izliet.

“Son of man, look, I'm about to take away the one you love the most. She will die. But you must not mourn or weep. Don't cry any tears.

17 Nopūties klusiņām, necel raudas par mirušiem. Bet uzsien savu cepuri un apvelc savas kurpes kājās, neaptin savu muti, tev arī nebūs ēst raudu maizi.

Mourn in silence. Don't have any rituals for the dead. Dress normally—have your turban on and put your sandals on your feet. Don't veil your face and don't eat the bread used by mourners.”

18 Tā es runāju uz tiem ļaudīm no rīta, un vakarā mana sieva nomira. Un es darīju no rīta, kā man bija pavēlēts.

I talked to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. The next morning I did as I'd been told.

19 Tad tie ļaudis uz mani sacīja: vai tu negribi mums stāstīt, kādēļ mums šīs lietas rāda, ka tu tā dari?

The people asked me, “What are you doing? Aren't you going to explain to us what this means?”

20 Un es uz tiem sacīju: Tā Kunga vārds uz mani noticis sacīdams:

So I told them, “A message from the Lord came to me, saying:

21 Saki Israēla namam: tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi, Es sagānīšu Savu svēto vietu, jūsu lepno stiprumu, jūsu acu jaukumu un jūsu dvēseļu mīlību, un jūsu dēli un jūsu meitas, ko jūs esat atstājuši, kritīs caur zobenu.

Tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: I am about to make my sanctuary unclean, this place you're so proud of that you think gives you power, the place you love so much, the place that makes you happy. Your sons and daughters that you left behind will be killed by the sword.

22 Tad jūs darīsiet, kā Es esmu darījis, muti jūs neaptīsiet un raudu maizi neēdīsiet.

Then you'll do what I did. You won't veil your face or eat the bread used by mourners.

23 Un jūsu cepures būs uz jūsu galvām un jūsu kurpes jūsu kājās. Jūs nežēlosities nedz raudāsiet, bet iznīksiet savos noziegumos, un vaidēsiet cits pret citu.

You will keep your turbans on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You won't mourn or weep, but you will die inside because of your sins, and you will groan to one another.

24 Tā Ecehiēls jums būs par zīmi; itin kā viņš darījis, tā jūs darīsiet; kad tas notiks, tad jūs samanīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs Dievs.

In this way Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he did. When this happens, then you will know that I am the Lord God.

25 Un tu, cilvēka bērns, vai tas nebūs tai dienā, kad Es no tiem atņemšu viņu drošumu, viņu slavu un prieku, viņu acu jaukumu un viņu dvēseles mīlību, viņu dēlus un viņu meitas,

You, son of man, should know that when I destroy their fortress that is their pride and joy, the place they looked to for comfort and happiness —and their sons and daughters too—

26 Tai dienā nāks pie tevis viens, kas izglābies un to tavām ausīm stāstīs.

when that happens someone who managed to get away will come and give you the news.

27 Tai dienā tava mute atvērsies kā arī tam izglābtam, un tu runāsi un nebūsi vairs mēms. Tā tu būsi par brīnuma zīmi un tie samanīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.

On that day you will be able to speak; you won't be mute any longer. This is how you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.”
