Hozejas 10
1 Israēls ir kupls vīna koks, kas nes augļus; jo vairāk bija viņa augļu, jo vairāk viņš cēla altāru; jo labāka viņa zeme, jo labāki viņš iztaisīja elku stabus.
“Israel was [like a large] healthy/luxuriant vine [MET] that produced [a lot of] grapes. But as the people became richer, they made more altars [at which to worship idols]. As the people prospered, they [built and] decorated sacred pillars [that they worshiped].
2 Viņu sirds ir viltīga; nu tiks atmaksāts. Viņš salauzīs viņu altārus, postīs viņu elku stabus.
They are deceitful; [so] now they are guilty and must be punished. [I], Yahweh, will tear down their altars and smash those pillars.
3 Nu tie sacīs: ķēniņa mums nav, jo mēs To Kungu neesam bijušies; ko mums ķēniņš var darīt?
Then they will say, ‘It is because we did not revere Yahweh that we no [longer] have a king. But [even if we had] a king, he certainly could not [RHQ] do anything to help us.’
4 Tie runāja vārdus, nepatiesi zvērēdami un derības derēdami, tāpēc sodība zaļos kā nāves zāle uz tīruma vagām.
They falsely promise [that they will do many things]; they solemnly promise and make agreements, but they do not do what they promise. So people accuse and sue [each other in the courts]; they are like [SIM] poisonous weeds [that grow] in a plowed field.
5 Samarijas iedzīvotāji iztrūcinājās par BetAvenas teļu, viņa ļaudis par to bēdājās un viņa priesteri par to trīc, jo viņa godība no tā aiziet.
The people who live in Samaria [city] are worried about [what may happen to the idol that resembles] a calf [that they set up] at Beth-Aven [town]. The people in Samaria will mourn, and the priests there will cry about it [if it is damaged or destroyed]. [Previously] they shouted joyfully about its being very great; but now it will not be great any more.
6 Arī to pašu(elka teļu) vedīs uz Asīriju par dāvanu priekš ķēniņa Jareba; Efraīms paliks kaunā, un Israēls taps apkaunots sava padoma dēļ.
It will be taken to Assyria to be a gift for the great King [of Assyria]. [So the people of] Israel will be disgraced, and they will be ashamed because [they trusted in] that idol.
7 Samarijas ķēniņš ir izzudis kā putas ūdens virsū.
The King of Samaria [and the other people in Samaria] will be gone; they will be like [SIM] a twig [that floats away] on the surface of the water [and disappears].
8 Un Avenas kalni, kur Israēls apgrēkojās, taps izdeldēti, ērkšķi un dadži augs uz viņu altāriem, un tie sacīs uz tiem kalniem: apklājiet mūs! - un uz tiem pakalniem: krītiet pār mums!
The altars on the tops of hills [where the people worshiped idols] will be destroyed; those have been the places where the people of Israel sinned greatly. Thorns and weeds will grow and cover those altars. Then the people will plead to the mountains and hills, ‘Fall [down and] cover us [to protect us from God punishing us]!’
9 No Ģibejas dienām tu esi grēkojis, Israēl: tur tie pastāvējuši; tā kauja Ģibejā pret tiem negantības bērniem tos neaizņēma.
[You people of] Israel, [ever since your ancestors did evil things] at Gibeah, you have continued to sin. [When the people at] [PRS] Gibeah [did evil things], the result was a war [in which thousands of people died].
10 Pēc Sava prāta Es tos pārmācīšu, un tautas pret tiem sapulcināsies, kad Es tos sodīšu viņu divēju grēku dēļ.
[So now], when I want to, I will punish the Israeli people. Because of the many sins that they have committed, [the armies of other] nations will gather to attack them, and they will cause the Israeli people to become their slaves.
11 Jo Efraīms ir teļš, ieradis labprāt kult, bet Es nākšu par viņa kakla skaistumu, Es Efraīmu iejūgšu, Jūda ars, un Jēkabs ecēs.
Israel is [like] [MET] a well-trained (heifer/young cow) that likes to thresh [grain]. [So now you will become slaves]. [It will be as though] I will put a yoke on your neck, and you will be forced to work hard for your enemies in their fields. [You people of] Israel and Judah [will be forced to go to Assyria]; there you [DOU] will pull plows to break up the ground [for planting seeds].
12 Sējiet sev pēc taisnības, pļaujiet pēc žēlastības, plēsiet sev jaunu zemi, jo laiks ir, To Kungu meklēt, tiekams tas nāk un jums māca taisnību.
[You plow your fields and plant your seeds] and harvest [your crops] [MET], [but what you need to do is] to act righteously and to faithfully love [me]; you need to repent [MET], because it is time to try to know [me], Yahweh; and if you do that, I will pour out [MET] many blessings on you.
13 Jūs arat bezdievību, ļaunumu jūs pļaujat un ēdat melu augļus.
You [plant seeds and harvest the crops and eat them]; [but what I consider that you have really done is] that you have planted wicked things and harvested evil things and eaten [MET] the results [IDM] of the lies [that you have told]. [Instead of trusting in me, ] you have (depended on/trusted in) your own power and in your many soldiers.
14 Jo tu paļaujies uz savu ceļu, uz savu varoņu pulku. Tāpēc liels troksnis celsies pret taviem ļaudīm, un visas tavas stiprās vietas taps postītas, tā kā Zalmans BetArbeli postīja kara laikā, kur māte līdz ar bērniem tapa satriekta.
As a result, you will [soon] hear the roar of battle, and all your cities that have walls around them will be destroyed, like [SIM] Shalman’s [army] destroyed Beth-Arbel [city] in a battle, and the women [in that city] and their children were bashed to death.
15 Tāpat jums notiks caur Bēteli jūsu niknās blēdības dēļ; Israēla ķēniņš dienai austot nīcin iznīks.
[You people of] [APO] Bethel [city], that is what will happen to you, because you are very wicked. And when the sun rises [on that day], the King of Israel will be killed [in the battle].”
