Hosea 14
1 [You people of] Israel, return to Yahweh our God. You are being punished because of the sins which you have committed.
Atgriezies, ak Israēl, pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, jo tu esi kritis sava nozieguma dēļ.
2 So now return to Yahweh and say [MTY] this to him: “Forgive us for all the sins that we have committed, and kindly accept (us/our sacrifices) in order that we may thank/praise you [IDM].
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 [We admit that] Assyria will not save us, and our war horses will not save us, either. We will never again say, ‘You are our gods’ to [the idols that] we [SYN] have made. You are the one who acts mercifully to orphans.”
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 [Yahweh says, “If they say that to me, ] I will forgive them for having (turned away from/abandoned) me, and I will love them with all my inner being, because I [PRS] will have stopped being angry with them.
Es dziedināšu viņu atkāpšanos, Es tos mīlēšu ar labu prātu, jo Mana dusmība no viņa novērsīsies.
5 I will be to the people of Israel like dew [that refreshes the soil]. When I do that, they will [become as delightful as] [MET] lilies are when they are blooming. [No one will be able to conquer them; ] they will be [as unmovable as] [SIM] the roots [of cedar trees].
Es Israēlim būšu kā rasa: viņš zaļos kā lilija un iesakņosies kā Libānas(ciedrs).
6 [Their good influence will spread] like [MET] the branches of a tree. They will be like [SIM] beautiful olive trees, and [they will be as delightful as] [SIM] the aroma of the cedar [trees in] Lebanon.
Viņa zari izplētīsies, un skaistums viņam būs kā eļļas kokam, un smarža viņam būs kā Libānas(ciedram).
7 People will [come to them to be protected] [like people are protected from the hot sun by being] [MET] in the shade [of a tree]. They [will (flourish/be strong) like] [SIM] grain that grows well. They will [be successful like] a vineyard [in which grapes grow abundantly]. They will become as famous/well-known as [SIM] the wines from Lebanon.
Tie, sēdēdami viņa ēnā, atkal audzinās labību un zaļos kā vīna koks; tam būs slava kā vīnam no Libānas.
8 [You people of] Israel, do not [RHQ] have anything more to do with idols; if you [get rid of your idols], I will answer your [prayers] and take care of you. I am like [MET] a strong/green pine tree, and your blessings come from me.”
Efraīm, kas Man vēl ar dievekļiem? Es paklausīšu un viņu uzlūkošu. Es būšu kā zaļa priede, pie Manis tavs auglis rodas.
9 Those who are wise will understand the things [about which I have written]. Those who think well will pay careful attention to them. The things that Yahweh wants us to do [MET] are right; righteous people will conduct their lives adhering to them. But those who rebel against Yahweh will be ruined.
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.
