Hozejas 4
1 Klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, Israēla bērni! Jo Tam Kungam ir tiesas lieta ar zemes iedzīvotājiem, tāpēc ka ne uzticības, ne mīlestības, ne Dieva atzīšanas nav tai zemē.
Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.
2 Bet lādēšana un melošana un kaušana un zagšana un laulības pārkāpšana laužas iekšā, un asins vaina nāk pēc asins vainas.
There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.
3 Tādēļ zeme bēdājās, un visi viņas iedzīvotāji vaid līdz ar zvēriem laukā un ar putniem apakš debess, un pat jūras zivis iet bojā.
Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away.
4 Tomēr lai neviens nestrīdās un netiesājās ar otru, jo tavi ļaudis ir kā tādi, kas ar priesteri strīdās.
Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest.
5 Tādēļ tu klupsi dienā, un pats pravietis klups ar tevi naktī, un Es izdeldēšu tavu māti.
You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.
6 Mani ļaudis top izdeldēti, tādēļ ka tie bez atzīšanas. Jo kā tu atzīšanu esi atmetis, tad arī Es tevi atmetīšu, ka tev Man nebūs būt par priesteri. Un tāpēc ka tu esi aizmirsis sava Dieva bauslību, tad arī Es aizmirsīšu tavus bērnus.
Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.
7 Cik daudz viņi bijuši, tik tie pret Mani apgrēkojušies. Es viņu godu pārvērtīšu par kaunu.
Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame.
8 Tie ēd Manu ļaužu grēku upurus un ilgojās ikviens savā dvēselē pēc viņu noziegumiem.
The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing.
9 Tādēļ priesteris būs tāpat kā tie ļaudis, un Es pie viņa piemeklēšu viņu ceļus un viņam atmaksāšu viņu darbus.
And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts.
10 Un tie ēdīs, bet nepaēdīs, tie maukos, bet nevairosies, tādēļ ka tie To Kungu atstājuši un viņu nav cienījuši.
They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord.
11 Maucība un vīns un jauns vīns paņem prātu.
Loose ways and new wine take away wisdom.
12 Mani ļaudis vaicā savu koku, un viņu spieķis tiem dod ziņas, jo maucības gars tos pieviļ, ka tie maukodamies no sava Dieva atkāpjas.
My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.
13 Kalnu galos tie upurē un pakalnos tie kvēpina, apakš ozoliem, liepām un kļavām, tāpēc ka viņu ēna ir laba; tādēļ jūsu meitas dzen maucību, un jūsu brūtes pārkāpj laulību.
They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.
14 Es nepiemeklēšu jūsu meitas, ka tās dzen maucību, nedz jūsu brūtes, ka tās pārkāpj laulību, jo tie paši iet savrup ar maukām un upurē ar nešķīstām, tādēļ tie neprātīgie ļaudis ies postā.
I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.
15 Ja tu, Israēl, gribi maukot, tad lai Jūda nenoziedzās arīdzan. Nenāciet uz Gilgalu un neejat augšām uz BetAvenu, un nezvērējiet: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo.
Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord.
16 Ja Israēls ir trakgalvīgs kā trakgalvīga govs, tad arī Tas Kungs tos ganīs kā jērus plašā zemē.
For Israel is uncontrolled, like a cow which may not be controlled; now will the Lord give them food like a lamb in a wide place.
17 Efraīms ir apbiedrinājies ar dievekļiem, laižat to mierā!
Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be.
18 Plītēšanā tie palaidušies, maukot tie maukojās, viņu valdnieki mīl negodu.
Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.
19 Vējš ar saviem spārniem tos sagrābs, un tie taps kaunā ar saviem upuriem.
They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings.
