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