Hozejas 7
1 Kad Es Israēli dziedināšu, tad Efraīma noziegums taps atsegts un Samarijas ļaunums, jo tie dara viltību; zagļi ir iekšā, un laupītāji ārā.
when I would heal Israel, then Ephrain’s guilt is revealed, and Samaria’s crimes are seen, how they practise fraud and the thief enters in, while outside bandits plunder.
2 Un tie nedomā savā sirdī, ka Es visu viņu ļaunumu pieminu. Bet nu viņu darbi apmetās pret tiem, tie ir Manā priekšā.
But it never crosses their minds that I remember their wickedness. Now their misdeeds surround them, they are always before my face.
3 Ar savu ļaunumu tie iepriecina ķēniņu un lielkungus ar saviem meliem.
Their wickedness amuses the king, and their lying gladdens the princes,
4 Tie visi ir laulības pārkāpēji, tie ir kā ceplis, kurināts no cepēja, kas mīklu samīcījis, mitējās kurināt, kamēr tā ir uzrūgusi.
since they are all of them adulterers. Their desire to do evil burns like an oven heated by the baker, so hot that he need not stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it rises.
5 Mūsu ķēniņa dienā lielkungi paliek vāji no vīna karstuma; viņš sniedz savu roku smējējiem.
On our king’s festival day, the princes are flushed with fever from wine. He stretched forth his hand with the contemptuous,
6 Jo tie ar savu sirdi dodās uz viltību kā ceplī. Viņu cepējs guļ cauru nakti, rītā viņš deg kā uguns liesmās.
for like an oven their heart burns with treachery, all night their anger smolders, in the morning it blazes into a flame of fire.
7 Tie visi ir iekarsuši kā ceplis un aprij savus tiesnešus, visi viņu ķēniņi krīt, neviens no tiem mani nepiesauc.
All of them glow like an oven, they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen. There is none among them who calls to me.
8 Efraīms jaucās ar tautām, Efraīms ir rausis, ko neapgriež.
Ephraim – he lets himself be mixed among the peoples, Ephraim – he has become a cake unturned.
9 Sveši norij viņa spēku, un viņš to nemana, arī sirmums viņam ir uznācis, un viņš to neatzīst.
Strangers have devoured his strength, but he does not know it. His hair is sprinkled with grey, but he does not notice.
10 Un Israēla gods dod liecību pret viņa vaigu, bet tie neatgriežas pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, un tomēr viņu nemeklē.
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them yet they do not return to the Lord their God, and in all this they do not seek him.
11 Jo Efraīms ir kā nejēdzīgs balodis bez prāta; Ēģipti tie piesauc, pie Asura tie staigā.
Ephraim is like a simple, silly dove: to Egypt they call, after Assyria they go,
12 Kad tie nu tā staigā, tad Es Savu tīklu pār tiem izpletīšu, Es tos nometīšu(lejā) kā putnus apakš debess, Es tos pārmācīšu, tā kā ir sludināts viņu draudzei.
wherever they turn I will spread my net over them, like birds of the sky I will bring them down, I will catch them when I hear them gathering.
13 Vai tiem! Jo tie bēg no Manis; posts pār viņiem! Jo tie ir noziegušies pret Mani. Es tos gan gribētu atpestīt, bet tie runā melus pret Mani.
Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have been untrue to me. Although it was I who redeemed them, they speak lies about me.
14 Un tie Mani nepiesauc no sirds, kad tie kauc uz savām gultām. Tie sapulcējās labības un vīna dēļ bet Man tie turas pretī.
They have never cried to me with their hearts, but they are always wailing on their beds. They gather to beg for corn and new wine, but they turn away from me.
15 Gan Es tos pamācu un stiprināju viņu elkoņus, bet tie domā ļaunu pret Mani.
Although it was I who trained and strengthened their arms, concerning me they plan only evil.
16 Tie griežas, bet ne uz to, kas augšā; tie ir kā viltīgs stops; viņu lielkungi kritīs caur zobenu viņu trakās mēles dēļ; tas būs viņu apsmiekls Ēģiptes zemē.
They turn away from the Most High. They have become like a bow that swerves. Their princes will fall by the sword, because of the insolence of their tongues. The land of Egypt will mock them.
