Hozejas 2
1 Sakait uz saviem brāļiem: Mani ļaudis, - un uz savām māsām: Ak apžēlotas!
[At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
2 Ejat tiesāties ar savu māti, ejat tiesāties, jo tā nav Mana sieva, un Es neesmu viņas vīrs, lai viņa savu maucību noliek no sava vaiga un savu laulības pārkāpšanu no savām krūtīm,
[Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
3 Ka Es to nenovelku pliku un viņu nenostādu kā tai dienā, kad viņa piedzima, un viņu nedaru par tuksnesi un nelieku par sausu zemi un viņu nenonāvēju caur tvīkšanu,
If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
4 Un ka neapžēlojos par viņas bērniem, jo tie ir maukas bērni.
I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
5 Jo viņu māte dzen maucību, viņu dzemdētāja ir negodīga; jo tā saka: es iešu saviem drauģeļiem pakaļ, kas man dod manu maizi un manu ūdeni, manu vilnu un manus linus, manu eļļu un manu dzērienu.
Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
6 Tādēļ redzi, Es tavu ceļu aiztaisīšu ar ērkšķiem un darīšu tur sienu priekšā, ka viņa savas tekas nevar atrast.
So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
7 Un viņa dzīsies saviem drauģeļiem pakaļ, bet tos nepanāks, un viņa tos meklēs, bet neatradīs; tad viņa sacīs: es iešu un atgriezīšos pie sava pirmā vīra, jo to brīdi man bija labāki nekā tagad.
They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are now.’
8 Jo viņa neatzīst, ka Es tas esmu, kas viņai devis labību un vīnu un eļļu, un vairojis viņas sudrabu un zeltu, ko tie priekš Baāla ir lietojuši.
But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship Baal.
9 Tādēļ Es atkal atņemšu Savu labību savā laikā un Savu vīnu savā brīdī, un atraušu Savu vilnu un Savus linus, ar ko tie apseguši savu plikumu.
Therefore I will return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
10 Un nu Es viņas kaunu atklāšu priekš viņas drauģeļu acīm, un neviens viņu neizglābs no Manas rokas.
I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
11 Un Es nobeigšu visu viņas līksmību, viņas svētkus, viņas jaunos mēnešus un viņas svētdienas un visus viņas svētos laikus.
I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
12 Un Es postīšu viņas vīna koku un vīģes koku, par ko viņa saka: tā ir mana maukas alga, ko man mani drauģeļi devuši; bet Es tos darīšu par mežu, un zvēriem laukā tos būs ēst.
I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
13 Un Es pie viņas piemeklēšu tās Baālu dienas, ka viņa tiem ir kvēpinājusi un greznojusies ar savām sprādzēm un glītumiem un dzinusies pakaļ saviem drauģeļiem, bet Mani ir aizmirsuši, saka Tas Kungs.
I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
14 Tādēļ redzi, Es viņu labināšu un viņu vedīšu tuksnesī un runāšu mīlīgi ar viņu.
But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
15 Un Es tai atdošu viņas vīna dārzus no tejienes un to Ahora ieleju par cerības durvīm. Un tur viņa dziedās kā savas jaunības dienās, un kā tai laikā, kad viņa cēlās no Ēģiptes zemes.
I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
16 Un tai dienā, saka Tas Kungs, tu sauksi: mans vīrs, un tu Mani vairs nesauksi: mans Baāl.
At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
17 Un Es Baālu vārdus izraušu no viņas mutes, ka tos ar viņu vārdiem vairs nepieminēs.
I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
18 Un tai dienā Es darīšu priekš viņiem derību ar zvēriem laukā un ar putniem apakš debess un ar tārpiem virs zemes, un salauzīšu stopu un zobenu un karu no zemes, un likšu tiem droši dzīvot.
At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
19 Un Es ar tevi saderēšos uz mūžību, un Es ar tevi saderēšos taisnībā un tiesā un žēlastībā un apžēlošanā.
I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
20 Un Es ar tevi saderēšos ticībā, un tu atzīsi To Kungu.
I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
21 Un tai dienā Es paklausīšu, saka Tas Kungs; Es paklausīšu debesi, un tā paklausīs zemi.
At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
22 Un zeme paklausīs labību un vīnu un eļļu, un tie paklausīs Jezreēli.
and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
23 Un Es tos darīšu Sev par dzimumu virs zemes un apžēlošos par to neapžēloto un sacīšu uz tiem, kas nebija Mani ļaudis: jūs esat Mani ļaudis; un tie sacīs: mans Dievs!
[At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
