Hosea 8
1 Set the cornet to thy mouth. [Let the enemy come] like the eagle against the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and against my law have they trespassed.
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 To me will they then cry, My God, we, Israel, know thee.
Tad tie uz Mani kliegs: mans Dievs! Mēs, Israēls, mēs Tevi pazīstam.
3 [But] Israel did reject the good; so let the enemy pursue him.
Israēls atmet labu, ienaidnieks viņu vajās.
4 They set up kings, but not my advice: they chose princes and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made themselves idols so that they will be cut off.
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 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath caused thy rejection; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be that they cannot cleanse themselves?
Tavs teļš, Samarija, ir riebīgs; Mana dusmība pār tiem iedegusies, - cik ilgi tie nevar palikt nenoziedzīgi?
6 For whom Israel did also that [idol] spring; an artisan made it, and no God is it: so then shall it become broken in splinters— that calf of Samaria.
Jo arī tas ir no Israēla, kalējs to ir taisījis, un tas nav nekāds dievs; tāpēc Samarijas teļš taps par gruvešiem.
7 For the wind do they sow, and the whirlwind shall they reap: [their seed] bringeth no standing corn; the plant yieldeth no meal; but should it yield it, strangers would swallow it 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 Swallowed up is Israel: now are they among the nations as a vessel without any value.
Israēls top aprīts; tie ir starp pagāniem kā trauks, ko neviens negrib,
9 For they are needs gone up to Assyria, they who like a wild ass should dwell alone: Ephraim spendeth lovers' gifts.
Tāpēc ka tie skrien pie Asura, kā meža ēzelis, kas skrien par sevi; Efraīms sader drauģeļus par maksu.
10 But even though they should spend gifts among the nations, now will I gather them: and they shall be humbled a little through the burden of the king of princes.
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 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, the altars have been unto him the means of sinning.
Jo Efraīms ir vairojis altārus par apgrēkošanos, viņam altāri palikuši par apgrēkošanos.
12 I ever wrote down for him the great things of my law; but as a strange thing are they accounted.
Es tam uzrakstīju lielu pulku savu baušļu, bet tie tapa turēti kā sveša lieta.
13 My sacrificial offerings they slay as common flesh that they may eat it; the Lord accepteth them not in favor: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall indeed 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 For Israel forgot his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire among his cities, and it shall devour their fine edifices.
Jo Israēls ir aizmirsis savu Radītāju un cēlis pilis, un Jūda vairo stipras pilsētas, bet Es sūtīšu uguni viņu pilsētās, tas aprīs viņu pilis.
