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.
Hear the word of Yahweh, you people of Israel. Yahweh has a lawsuit against the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truthfulness or covenantal faithfulness, 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, lying, killing, stealing and adultery. The people have broken all bounds, and bloodshed comes after bloodshed.
3 Tādēļ zeme bēdājās, un visi viņas iedzīvotāji vaid līdz ar zvēriem laukā un ar putniem apakš debess, un pat jūras zivis iet bojā.
So the land is drying up, and everyone living in it is wasting away; the beasts in the fields and the birds in the sky, even the fish in the sea, are being taken away.
4 Tomēr lai neviens nestrīdās un netiesājās ar otru, jo tavi ļaudis ir kā tādi, kas ar priesteri strīdās.
But do not allow anyone to bring a lawsuit; do not let anyone accuse anyone else. For it is you, the priests, whom I am accusing.
5 Tādēļ tu klupsi dienā, un pats pravietis klups ar tevi naktī, un Es izdeldēšu tavu māti.
You priests will stumble during the day; the prophets will also stumble with you by night, and I will destroy your mother.
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.
My people are being destroyed because of the lack of knowledge. Because you priests have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as priests to me. Because you have forgotten my law, although I am your God, I also will forget your children.
7 Cik daudz viņi bijuši, tik tie pret Mani apgrēkojušies. Es viņu godu pārvērtīšu par kaunu.
The more the priests multiplied, the more they sinned against me. They exchanged their honor for shame.
8 Tie ēd Manu ļaužu grēku upurus un ilgojās ikviens savā dvēselē pēc viņu noziegumiem.
They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for more of their wickedness.
9 Tādēļ priesteris būs tāpat kā tie ļaudis, un Es pie viņa piemeklēšu viņu ceļus un viņam atmaksāšu viņu darbus.
It will be the same for the people as for the priests: I will punish them all for their practices; I will repay them for their deeds.
10 Un tie ēdīs, bet nepaēdīs, tie maukos, bet nevairosies, tādēļ ka tie To Kungu atstājuši un viņu nav cienījuši.
They will eat but not have enough; they will commit prostitution but not increase, because they have gone far away from Yahweh.
11 Maucība un vīns un jauns vīns paņem prātu.
They love sexual promiscuity, wine, and new wine, which have taken away their understanding.
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 consult their wooden idols, and their walking sticks give them prophecies. For a mind of promiscuity has misled them, and they have acted as prostitutes instead of being faithful 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 sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars and terebinths, because the shade is good. So your daughters commit sexual immorality, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
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 punish your daughters when they choose to commit sexual immorality, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men also give themselves to the prostitutes, and they offer sacrifices so they can commit immoral acts with sacred prostitutes. So this people who does not understand will be thrown down.
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.
Though you, Israel, have committed adultery, may Judah not become guilty. Do not go to Gilgal, you people; do not go up to Beth Aven, and do not swear, saying, “As Yahweh lives.”
16 Ja Israēls ir trakgalvīgs kā trakgalvīga govs, tad arī Tas Kungs tos ganīs kā jērus plašā zemē.
For Israel has behaved stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. How can Yahweh bring them to pasture like lambs in a meadow?
17 Efraīms ir apbiedrinājies ar dievekļiem, laižat to mierā!
Ephraim united himself with idols; leave him alone.
18 Plītēšanā tie palaidušies, maukot tie maukojās, viņu valdnieki mīl negodu.
Even when their strong drink is gone, they continue to commit adultery; her rulers dearly love their shame.
19 Vējš ar saviem spārniem tos sagrābs, un tie taps kaunā ar saviem upuriem.
The wind will wrap her up in its wings; and they will be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
