Hosea 14
1 Israel, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity.
Atgriezies, ak Israēl, pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, jo tu esi kritis sava nozieguma dēļ.
2 Take these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves of our lips.
Ņemiet šos vārdus līdz un atgriežaties pie Tā Kunga un sakāt uz Viņu: piedod visu noziegumu un parādi žēlastību, ka mēs nesam savu lūpu upurus.
3 Assur will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on the orphan.”
Asurs mūs neizpestīs, mēs nejāsim uz zirgiem un nesacīsim vairs uz savu roku darbu: tu esi mūsu dievs! Jo pie Tevis bāriņš atrod žēlastību.
4 I will heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them.
Es dziedināšu viņu atkāpšanos, Es tos mīlēšu ar labu prātu, jo Mana dusmība no viņa novērsīsies.
5 I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
Es Israēlim būšu kā rasa: viņš zaļos kā lilija un iesakņosies kā Libānas(ciedrs).
6 His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
Viņa zari izplētīsies, un skaistums viņam būs kā eļļas kokam, un smarža viņam būs kā Libānas(ciedram).
7 They will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon.
Tie, sēdēdami viņa ēnā, atkal audzinās labību un zaļos kā vīna koks; tam būs slava kā vīnam no Libānas.
8 Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me anymore?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me.
Efraīm, kas Man vēl ar dievekļiem? Es paklausīšu un viņu uzlūkošu. Es būšu kā zaļa priede, pie Manis tavs auglis rodas.
9 Who is wise and will understand this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them.
Kas ir gudrs, ka saprot šās lietas? Kas ir prātīgs, ka tās atzīst? Jo Tā Kunga ceļi ir taisni, un taisnie pa tiem staigās, bet pārkāpēji pa tiem kritīs.
