Hozejas 13
1 Kad Efraīms runāja, tad cēlās bailes; viņš augsti cēlās iekš Israēla, bet viņš noziedzās caur Baālu un mira.
According to the word of Ephraim he adopted ordinances for himself in Israel; and he established them for Baal, and died.
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 now they have sinned increasingly, and have made for themselves a molten image of their silver, according to the fashion of idols, the work of artificers accomplished for them: they say, Sacrifice men, for the calves have come to an end.
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 shall they be as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passes away, as chaff blown away from the threshing floor, and as a vapor from tears.
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.
But I am the Lord your God that establishes the heaven, and creates the earth, whose hands have framed the whole host of heaven: but I showed them not to you that you should go after them: and I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and you shall know no God but me; and there is no Saviour beside me.
5 Es par tevi zināju tuksnesī, tai sausā zemē.
I tended you as a shepherd in the wilderness, in an uninhabited land.
6 Kad tiem bija ganība, tad tie pieēdās; kad tie bija pieēdušies, tad viņu sirds lepojās, tāpēc tie Mani aizmirsa.
According to their pastures, so they were completely filled; and their hearts were exalted; therefore they forgot me.
7 Tādēļ Es tiem paliku kā lauva, kā pardelis Es glūnēju uz ceļa.
And I will be to them as a panther, and as a leopard.
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 meet them by the way of the Assyrians, as a she-bear excited, and I will rend the caul of their heart, and the lions' whelps of the thicket shall devour them there; the wild beasts of the field shall rend them in pieces.
9 Tas tev par postu, Israēl, ka tu esi pret Mani, pret savu palīgu.
O Israel, who will aid [you] in your destruction?
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?
Where is this your king? let him even save you in all your cities: let him judge you, of whom you said, Give me a king and a prince.
11 Es tev devu ķēniņu savā dusmībā un to esmu atņēmis savā bardzībā.
And I gave you a king in mine anger, and kept [him] back in my wrath.
12 Efraīma noziegumi ir sakrāti, viņa grēki ir glabāti.
Ephraim [has framed] a conspiracy of unrighteousness, his sin is hidden.
13 Viņam nāks dzemdētājas sāpes; viņš ir negudrs bērns, jo tas laikā neiet mātes ceļā.
Pains as of a woman in travail shall come upon him: he is your wise son, because he shall not stay in the destruction of [your] 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 h7585)
I will deliver [them] out of the power of Hades, and will redeem them from death: where is your penalty, O death? O Hades, where is your sting? comfort is hidden from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Forasmuch as he will cause a division among [his] brethren, the Lord shall bring upon him an east wind from the desert, and shall dry up his veins [and] quite drain his fountains: he shall dry up his land, and [spoil] all his precious 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 shall be utterly destroyed: for she has resisted her God; they shall fall by the sword, and their sucklings shall be dashed against the ground, and their women with child ripped up.
