Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Efraīms grābstās pēc vēja un dzenās pakaļ rīta vētrai, cauru dienu viņš vairo postu, un tie ceļ derību ar Asuru, un eļļa top vesta uz Ēģipti.
2 The LORD has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
Tam Kungam jātiesājas ar Jūdu, un Jēkabu Viņš piemeklēs pēc viņa ceļiem, pēc viņa darbiem Viņš tam atmaksās.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
Mātes miesās viņš pamina savu brāli, un savā (vīra) spēkā viņš cīnījās ar Dievu.
4 Yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
Viņš stipri cīnījās ar to eņģeli un pārvarēja; viņš raudāja un Viņu lūdza; Bētelē Viņš to atrada, un tur Viņš ar mums runāja.
5 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
Un Tas Kungs ir tas Dievs Cebaot, Kungs ir Viņa vārds.
6 Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on your God continually.
Tu tad atgriezies pie sava Dieva, pasargi žēlastību un tiesu un gaidi bez mitēšanās uz savu Dievu.
7 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
Kanaāns, viņa rokā ir viltīgs svars, viņam mīl varas darbu darīt.
8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labors they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
Efraīms saka: taču es esmu tapis bagāts, esmu sev dabūjis lielu mantu, pie visas manas peļņas vainas nav, kas būtu grēks.
9 And I that am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
Bet Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kamēr no Ēģiptes zemes; Es tevi vēl likšu lieveņos dzīvot, kā svētku laikā.
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
Un Es runāju caur praviešiem, un vairoju parādīšanas, un caur praviešiem Es stāstu līdzības.
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yes, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
Ja Gileādā griežas uz grēku, tad tiešām tie paliks par nieku; Gilgalā tie upurē vēršus; un viņu altāri būs kā akmeņu kopa tīruma vagās.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
Jēkabs bēga uz Sīrijas klajumu, un Israēls kalpoja par sievu, sievas dēļ viņš bija gans.
13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
Un Tas Kungs Israēli izveda no Ēģiptes caur vienu pravieti, un caur vienu pravieti tas tapa ganīts.
14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood on him, and his reproach shall his LORD return to him.
Bet Efraīms Viņu rūgti apkaitināja, tāpēc viņa Kungs viņa asinīm liks uz tā palikt, un tam atmaksās Viņa nievāšanu.
