Hozejas 11
1 Kad Israēls bija bērns, tad Es viņu mīlēju, un Savu dēlu atsaucu no Ēģiptes.
As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt.
2 Bet jo (tie pravieši) tos sauca, jo vairāk tie no viņiem nogāja; tie upurēja Baāliem un kvēpināja elku tēliem.
As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.
3 Es tomēr Efraīmu mācīju staigāt, Es tos ņēmu uz Savām rokām, bet tie neatzina, ka Es tos dziedināju.
And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them.
4 Es tos vilku ar cilvēka valgiem, ar mīlestības saitēm, un tiem biju kā kas apaušus no viņu žokļiem atvieglina, un Es tiem pasniedzu barību.
I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat.
5 Viņš neatgriezīsies atpakaļ uz Ēģiptes zemi, bet Asurs, tas būs viņa ķēniņš, tāpēc ka tie liedzās atgriezties.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king: because they would not be converted.
6 Un zobens zibēs viņu pilsētās un nobeigs un aprīs viņu aizšaujamos viņu padomu dēļ.
The sword hath begun in his cities, and it shall consume his chosen men, and shall devour their heads.
7 Jo Maniem ļaudīm prāts nesās, no Manis nogriezties; tie gan top aicināti uz augšu, bet neviena nav, kas ceļas.
And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put upon them together, which shall not be taken off.
8 Kā Es tev darīšu, Efraīm? Vai Man tevi būs nodot, Israēl? Vai Es tev darīšu kā Admai? Vai tevi postīšu kā Ceboīmu? Mana sirds ir griezusies, un Mana apžēlošanās visai iedegusies.
How shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up.
9 Es nedarīšu pēc Savas bardzības karstuma, nedz Efraīmu atkal postīšu, jo Es esmu Dievs un ne cilvēks, tas Svētais tavā vidū. Un dusmās Es nenākšu.
I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city.
10 Tad tie dzīsies Tam Kungam pakaļ, Viņš kauks kā lauva, un kad Viņš kauks, tad tie bērni no vakara puses drebēs.
They shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear.
11 Tie drebēdami nāks no Ēģiptes, kā putns un kā balodis no Asura zemes, un Es tiem likšu dzīvot viņu namos, tā saka Tas Kungs.
And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own houses, saith the Lord.
12 Efraīms Mani apstāj ar meliem un Israēla nams ar viltu, un Jūda vēl šaubās ap Dievu, to uzticīgo un svēto.
Ephraim hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is faithful with the saints.
