1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house. 3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house. 4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity. 5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. 6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel. 7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8 ¶ And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying, 9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou? 10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them. 11 Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity. 12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes. 13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there. 14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them. 15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries. 16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
17 ¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness; 19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein. 20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
21 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? 23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. 24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
26 ¶ Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come , and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. 28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
Ecehiēls par zīmi Israēla aizvešanai trimdā
1 Kunga vārds nāca pār mani: 2 “Cilvēka dēls, tu dzīvo dumpīgā saimē. Tiem acis redzēt, bet tie neredz, tiem ausis dzirdēt, bet tie nedzird, jo tie ir dumpīga saime, 3 tādēļ tu, cilvēka dēls, sataisi sev trimdinieka paunu un dodies trimdā. Dari to dienā, lai tie redz, ka tu dodies prom, – kad tie redzēs, varbūt sapratīs, ka ir dumpīga saime. 4 Pa dienu iznes ārā savu trimdinieka paunu, lai tie redz, bet vakarā dodies prom, kā trimdā aiziedams. 5 Tiem redzot, izlauz caurumu mūrī un nes savu paunu ārā. 6 Vakara krēslā, tiem redzot, cel to plecos un dodies prom. Aizsedz seju, lai tu neredzi zemi, jo es tevi darīšu par zīmi Israēla namam!”
7 Es darīju, kā man pavēlēja, – dienā iznesu ārā savu trimdinieka paunu, bet vakarā ar rokām izlauzu caurumu mūrī. Vakara krēslā es gāju prom ar paunu uz pleciem, un viņi to redzēja.
8 No rīta pār mani nāca Kunga vārds: 9 “Cilvēka dēls, vai Israēla nams, dumpīgā saime, tev nejautāja: kādēļ tu tā dari? – 10 Saki tiem: tā saka Kungs Dievs: šis ir vēstījums Jeruzālemes valdniekam un visam Israēla namam, kas tur mīt. 11 Saki: es esmu jums zīme – kā es darīju, tā viņš tiem darīs – sagūstīti tie aizies trimdā! 12 Viņu pārvaldnieks cels plecā paunu un vakara krēslā aizies caur mūri, kuru izlauzuši, – aizejot viņa seja būs aizklāta, ka viņš neredzēs zemi. 13 Es viņam uzmetīšu tīklu, viņš tiks notverts cilpā! Es viņu aizvedīšu uz Bābeli kaldiešu zemē – to viņš neredzēs, tur viņš mirs! 14 Ikvienu palīgu, kas pie viņa, un ikvienu viņa pulku es izkaisīšu visos vējos – es viņiem zobenu uzsūtīšu! 15 Tad viņi zinās, ka es esmu Kungs, es viņus izklīdināšu pa tautām, es viņus izkaisīšu pa valstīm! 16 Bet dažiem no tiem es ļaušu paglābties no zobena, bada un mēra, lai tie pastāsta tautām par savām preteklībām, kuru dēļ tur nonākuši, tad viņi zinās, ka es esmu Kungs!”
Vēstījums netiks atlikts vai atcelts
17 Kunga vārds nāca pār mani: 18 “Cilvēka dēls, drebi, kad ēd maizi, trīci un baidies, kad dzer ūdeni! 19 Saki visiem ļaudīm: tā saka Kungs Dievs tiem, kas Jeruzālemē un Israēla zemē: maizi tie ēdīs bailēs, ūdeni tie dzers postā, jo zeme būs iztukšota tās iemītnieku varmācības dēļ. 20 Apdzīvotās pilsētas nopostīs, un zeme tiks izdeldēta – tad jūs zināsiet, ka es esmu Kungs!”
21 Un Kunga vārds nāca pār mani: 22 “Cilvēka dēls, kādēļ jums Israēlā ir šāda paruna – dienas rit, bet redzējumi nepiepildās! – 23 Saki tiem: tā saka Kungs Dievs: es atcelšu šo parunu, viņi to Israēlā vairs neteiks. Saki tiem: tuvojas dienas, kad piepildīsies ik redzējums! 24 Jo Israēla namā vairs nebūs melīgu redzējumu un glaimīgu pareģojumu. 25 Es, Kungs, runāšu – ko es teikšu, tas piepildīsies nekavējoties. Jūsu dienās, dumpīgā saime, es izpildīšu to, ko runāšu!” saka Kungs Dievs.
26 Kunga vārds nāca pār mani: 27 “Cilvēka dēls, redzi, Israēla nams saka: viņa redzējums ir daudzām dienām, un viņa pravietojumi ir tālai nākotnei. 28 Tādēļ saki tiem: tā saka Kungs Dievs: neviens mans vārds netiks novilcināts, tas, ko es sacīju, piepildīsies!” saka Kungs Dievs.
