Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he offended in Baal, he died.
Kad Efraīms runāja, tad cēlās bailes; viņš augsti cēlās iekš Israēla, bet viņš noziedzās caur Baālu un mira.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.
Un nu tie vēl vairāk grēko, un no sava sudraba tie sev taisa elku stabus, dievekļus pēc sava prāta; tas visnotaļ ir kalēju darbs; uz tiem šie runā, cilvēku upurētāji, tie skūpsta teļus.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passes away early, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
Tādēļ tie būs kā rīta mākoņi un kā rīta rasa, kas izzūd kā pelavas no klona, un kā dūmi no skursteņa top aizdzīti.
4 Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shall know no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
Bet Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kamēr no Ēģiptes zemes, un Dieva bez manis tu nepazīsti neviena, un Pestītāja bez Manis nav neviena.
5 I knew thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Es par tevi zināju tuksnesī, tai sausā zemē.
6 According to their pasture, so they were filled. They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
Kad tiem bija ganība, tad tie pieēdās; kad tie bija pieēdušies, tad viņu sirds lepojās, tāpēc tie Mani aizmirsa.
7 Therefore I am to them as a lion. As a leopard I will watch by the way.
Tādēļ Es tiem paliku kā lauva, kā pardelis Es glūnēju uz ceļa.
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart. And there I will devour them like a lioness. The wild beast shall tear them.
Es tos sastapšu kā lācis, kam bērni laupīti, un saplosīšu viņu cieto sirdi, Es tos tur aprīšu kā lauva; tie zvēri virs zemes tos saplosīs.
9 It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou are against me, against thy help.
Tas tev par postu, Israēl, ka tu esi pret Mani, pret savu palīgu.
10 Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities, and thy judges, of whom thou said, Give me a king and rulers?
Kur nu ir tavs ķēniņš? Lai tas tev palīdz visās tavās pilsētās! Un kur tavi tiesneši, par kuriem tu sacīji: dod man ķēniņu un virsniekus?
11 I have given thee a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
Es tev devu ķēniņu savā dusmībā un to esmu atņēmis savā bardzībā.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up. His sin is laid up in store.
Efraīma noziegumi ir sakrāti, viņa grēki ir glabāti.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him. He is an unwise son, for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of sons.
Viņam nāks dzemdētājas sāpes; viņš ir negudrs bērns, jo tas laikā neiet mātes ceļā.
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy sting? Repentance shall be hid from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Es tos atpestīšu no elles, Es tos atsvabināšu no nāves. Nāve, kur ir tavs mēris, elle, kur ir tavs posts! Žēlums nebūs priekš Manām acīm. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he be fruitful among his brothers, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up. He shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels.
Lai viņš arī augļus nes brāļu vidū, bet rīta vējš nāks, Tā Kunga vējš celsies no tuksneša, un viņa aka izkaltīs, un viņa avots izsīks; šis laupīs mantu un visus dārgumus.
16 Samaria shall bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword. Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
Samarija ies postā, jo tā savam Dievam ir turējusies pretī, tā kritīs caur zobenu, viņu bērni taps satriekti un viņu grūtās sievas taps uzšķērstas.
