< Hozejas 13 >
1 Kad Efraīms runāja, tad cēlās bailes; viņš augsti cēlās iekš Israēla, bet viņš noziedzās caur Baālu un mira.
When Ephraim spake, there was trembling: hee exalted him selfe in Israel, but he hath sinned in Baal, and is dead.
2 Un nu tie vēl vairāk grēko, un no sava sudraba tie sev taisa elku stabus, dievekļus pēc sava prāta; tas visnotaļ ir kalēju darbs; uz tiem šie runā, cilvēku upurētāji, tie skūpsta teļus.
And nowe they sinne more and more, and haue made them molten images of their siluer, and idoles according to their owne vnderstanding: they were all the woorke of the craftesmen: they say one to another whiles they sacrifice a man, Let them kisse the calues.
3 Tādēļ tie būs kā rīta mākoņi un kā rīta rasa, kas izzūd kā pelavas no klona, un kā dūmi no skursteņa top aizdzīti.
Therefore they shall bee as the morning cloude, and as the morning dewe that passeth away, as the chaffe that is driuen with a whirlewind out of the floore, and as the smoke that goeth out of the chimney.
4 Bet Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kamēr no Ēģiptes zemes, un Dieva bez manis tu nepazīsti neviena, un Pestītāja bez Manis nav neviena.
Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt knowe no God but me: for there is no Sauiour beside me.
5 Es par tevi zināju tuksnesī, tai sausā zemē.
I did knowe thee in the wildernesse, in the land of drought.
6 Kad tiem bija ganība, tad tie pieēdās; kad tie bija pieēdušies, tad viņu sirds lepojās, tāpēc tie Mani aizmirsa.
As in their pastures, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they forgotten me.
7 Tādēļ Es tiem paliku kā lauva, kā pardelis Es glūnēju uz ceļa.
And I wil be vnto them as a very lyon, and as a leopard in the way of Asshur.
8 Es tos sastapšu kā lācis, kam bērni laupīti, un saplosīšu viņu cieto sirdi, Es tos tur aprīšu kā lauva; tie zvēri virs zemes tos saplosīs.
I will meete them, as a beare that is robbed of her whelpes, and I will breake the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a lion: the wilde beast shall teare them.
9 Tas tev par postu, Israēl, ka tu esi pret Mani, pret savu palīgu.
O Israel, one hath destroyed thee, but in me is thine helpe.
10 Kur nu ir tavs ķēniņš? Lai tas tev palīdz visās tavās pilsētās! Un kur tavi tiesneši, par kuriem tu sacīji: dod man ķēniņu un virsniekus?
I am: where is thy King, that shoulde help thee in al thy cities? and thy iudges, of whom thou saidest, Giue me a King, and princes?
11 Es tev devu ķēniņu savā dusmībā un to esmu atņēmis savā bardzībā.
I gaue thee a King in mine anger, and I tooke him away in my wrath.
12 Efraīma noziegumi ir sakrāti, viņa grēki ir glabāti.
The iniquitie of Ephraim is bound vp: his sinne is hid.
13 Viņam nāks dzemdētājas sāpes; viņš ir negudrs bērns, jo tas laikā neiet mātes ceļā.
The sorowes of a trauailing woman shall come vpon him: he is an vnwise sonne, els would he not stande still at the time, euen at the breaking forth of the children.
14 Es tos atpestīšu no elles, Es tos atsvabināšu no nāves. Nāve, kur ir tavs mēris, elle, kur ir tavs posts! Žēlums nebūs priekš Manām acīm. (Sheol )
I wil redeeme them from the power of the graue: I will deliuer them from death: O death, I wil be thy death: O graue, I will be thy destruction: repentance is hid from mine eyes. (Sheol )
15 Lai viņš arī augļus nes brāļu vidū, bet rīta vējš nāks, Tā Kunga vējš celsies no tuksneša, un viņa aka izkaltīs, un viņa avots izsīks; šis laupīs mantu un visus dārgumus.
Though he grewe vp among his brethren, an East winde shall come, euen the winde of the Lord shall come vp from the wildernesse, and drie vp his veine, and his fountaine shalbe dryed vp: he shall spoyle the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Samarija ies postā, jo tā savam Dievam ir turējusies pretī, tā kritīs caur zobenu, viņu bērni taps satriekti un viņu grūtās sievas taps uzšķērstas.
Samaria shalbe desolate: for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sworde: their infants shalbe dashed in pieces, and their women with childe shalbe ript.
