Hosea 8
1 Put a trumpet to your lips! An eagle swoops over the house of the Lord because they have broken my agreement and rebelled against my law.
Liec bazūni pie savas mutes; Viņš nāk kā ērglis pret Tā Kunga namu, tādēļ ka tie Manu derību pārlauzuši un no Manas bauslības atkāpušies.
2 Israel calls out to me, “Our God, we know you!”
Tad tie uz Mani kliegs: mans Dievs! Mēs, Israēls, mēs Tevi pazīstam.
3 But Israel has rejected what is good. An enemy will chase after them.
Israēls atmet labu, ienaidnieks viņu vajās.
4 They appointed kings without my consent and chose princes without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.
Tie ieceļ ķēniņus, bet bez Manis; tie ieceļ virsniekus, bet Es tos nepazīstu, no sava sudraba un no sava zelta tie sev taisa dievekļus, lai tas top izdeldēts.
5 Samaria, I reject this calf idol you have made! My anger burns against them! How long will you be incapable of being good?
Tavs teļš, Samarija, ir riebīgs; Mana dusmība pār tiem iedegusies, - cik ilgi tie nevar palikt nenoziedzīgi?
6 This idol is from Israel! A craftsman made it—it's not God! The calf of Samaria will be broken in pieces!
Jo arī tas ir no Israēla, kalējs to ir taisījis, un tas nav nekāds dievs; tāpēc Samarijas teļš taps par gruvešiem.
7 Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head of grain; it will produce no flour. Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would swallow it all up.
Jo tie sēj vēju un pļaus auku; viņu druvas necelsies, un kas izplaukst, tas nedos miltus, un jebšu tas ko dotu, tomēr sveši to aprīs.
8 Israel is swallowed up; among the nations they are like something nobody wants.
Israēls top aprīts; tie ir starp pagāniem kā trauks, ko neviens negrib,
9 They have gone up to Assyria like a donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers.
Tāpēc ka tie skrien pie Asura, kā meža ēzelis, kas skrien par sevi; Efraīms sader drauģeļus par maksu.
10 Even though they have hired allies among the nations, I will gather them together. Then they will writhe under the burden of the great king.
Kad tie nu saderās(nolīgst sabiedrotos) starp pagāniem, tad tūlīt arī es tos sapulcināšu, un tiem drīz uzies raizes no tā valdnieku ķēniņa nastas.
11 Though Ephraim built many altars to make sin offerings, they instead became altars of sin!
Jo Efraīms ir vairojis altārus par apgrēkošanos, viņam altāri palikuši par apgrēkošanos.
12 I wrote down for them the many aspects of my law, but they looked on them as foreign.
Es tam uzrakstīju lielu pulku savu baušļu, bet tie tapa turēti kā sveša lieta.
13 They present me with their sacrifices, and they eat the meat, but I the Lord do not accept them. Now he will remember their wickedness, and punish them for their sins. They will return to Egypt.
Par upuru dāvanu tie gan gaļu upurē un to ēd, bet Tam Kungam nav labs prāts pie tiem; un Viņš pieminēs viņu noziegumus un piemeklēs viņu grēkus; tie griežas atpakaļ uz Ēģipti.
14 Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces; Judah has built many fortified cities. But I will rain fire down on their cities and burn up their fortresses.
Jo Israēls ir aizmirsis savu Radītāju un cēlis pilis, un Jūda vairo stipras pilsētas, bet Es sūtīšu uguni viņu pilsētās, tas aprīs viņu pilis.
