Hozejas 6
1 Kad tiem būs bail, tad tie Mani meklēs: ejam, atgriezīsimies pie Tā Kunga. Jo Viņš ir saplēsis, un Viņš mūs dziedinās, Viņš ir sasitis, un Viņš mūs sasies.
[The Israeli people say, ] “Come, let’s return to Yahweh! He has caused [us] to be injured, but he will heal us. He has caused [us] to be wounded, but [it is as though] he will put bandages on our wounds [MET].
2 Viņš mūs darīs dzīvus pēc divām dienām, trešā dienā Viņš mūs uzcels, ka dzīvosim Viņa priekšā.
After a very short time he will revive us; in less than three days he will restore us in order that we may live in his presence.
3 Tad ņemsim vērā, dzīsimies To Kungu atzīt; Viņš tiešām ausīs kā auseklis un nāks pie mums kā stiprs lietus, kā vēlais lietus slacina zemi.
We must try to know Yahweh; [if we do that, ] he will come [and help] us, as surely as the sun rises [every morning], as surely as rain falls every winter/cold season, and as surely as the rain falls again (in the springtime/at the end of the cold season).”
4 Ko lai tev daru, Efraīm, ko lai tev daru, Jūda? Jo jūsu mīlestība ir kā rīta mākonis un kā rasa, kas agri izzūd.
[But Yahweh knows they are insincere; ] [so he says to them, ] “You [people of] Israel, and you [people of] Judah, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should do to you. Your being faithful [to me will disappear as quickly] as [SIM] the morning mist [disappears], like [SIM] the dew [on the ground] that disappears quickly [when the sun shines].
5 Tādēļ Es esmu cirtis ar tiem praviešiem, Es tos esmu kāvis ar Savas mutes vārdiem, un Mana tiesa ausa kā gaisma.
I warned [HYP] you by [the messages that I gave to] the prophets, [but you did not pay attention to my messages]. Therefore I will completely destroy you; the punishment that I give you will strike you like lightning.
6 Jo Man patīk mīlestība un ne upuris, un Dieva atzīšana vairāk nekā dedzināmie upuri.
I want [my people] to faithfully love [me] more than [I want them to offer] sacrifices [to me]; [I want them] to know me more than [I want them to] completely burn sacrifices [on the altar].
7 Bet tie pārkāpj derību kā Ādams, tur tie pret Mani palikuši neuzticīgi.
But they have refused to obey my agreement, [just] like Adam did; they have not been faithful to me.
8 Gileāda ir pilsēta pilna ļauna darītāju, ar asiņainām pēdām.
Gilead is a city [full] of people who do wicked things; [in the streets] are the bloody footprints [of those who have murdered others].
9 Un kā laupītāji glūn uz kādu cilvēku, tāda ir tā priesteru draudze, uz Sihemas ceļa tie dzen slepkavību, tiešām tie dara negantus darbus.
The priests are like [SIM] bandits who wait (in ambushes/along the road) to attack people; they murder [people who are walking] on the road to Shechem, and they commit other disgraceful crimes.
10 Israēla namā Es redzu briesmīgas lietas: tur ir Efraīma maucība, Israēls ir sagānījies.
I have seen horrible things [being done] in Israel [MTY]. The people have abandoned me [like prostitutes who have abandoned their husbands] [MET]; [so the people of] Israel have become unacceptable to me.
11 Arī tev, Jūda, ir pļauja priekšā, kad Es pārvedīšu Savus cietuma ļaudis.
And you [people of] Judah, I have appointed a time when I will punish [MET] you, too. Whenever I wanted to enable my people to prosper again,”
