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.
Whenever I want to heal Israel, the sin of Ephraim is exposed, as well as the evil deeds of Samaria, for they practice deceit; a thief comes in, and a marauding band attacks in the street.
2 Un tie nedomā savā sirdī, ka Es visu viņu ļaunumu pieminu. Bet nu viņu darbi apmetās pret tiem, tie ir Manā priekšā.
They do not realize in their hearts that I remember all their evil deeds. Now their deeds surround them; they are before my face.
3 Ar savu ļaunumu tie iepriecina ķēniņu un lielkungus ar saviem meliem.
With their evil they make the king glad, and by their lies the officials.
4 Tie visi ir laulības pārkāpēji, tie ir kā ceplis, kurināts no cepēja, kas mīklu samīcījis, mitējās kurināt, kamēr tā ir uzrūgusi.
They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker, who ceases to stir the fire from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
5 Mūsu ķēniņa dienā lielkungi paliek vāji no vīna karstuma; viņš sniedz savu roku smējējiem.
On the day of our king the officials made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He reached out with his hand to those who were mocking.
6 Jo tie ar savu sirdi dodās uz viltību kā ceplī. Viņu cepējs guļ cauru nakti, rītā viņš deg kā uguns liesmās.
For with hearts like an oven, they devise their deceitful plans. Their anger smolders all night; in the morning it burns high like a flaming fire.
7 Tie visi ir iekarsuši kā ceplis un aprij savus tiesnešus, visi viņu ķēniņi krīt, neviens no tiem mani nepiesauc.
They all are as hot as an oven, and they devour those who rule over them. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls on me.
8 Efraīms jaucās ar tautām, Efraīms ir rausis, ko neapgriež.
Ephraim mixes himself among the peoples. Ephraim is a flat cake that has not been turned over.
9 Sveši norij viņa spēku, un viņš to nemana, arī sirmums viņam ir uznācis, un viņš to neatzīst.
Foreigners have devoured his strength, but he does not know it. Gray hairs are sprinkled on him, but he does not know it.
10 Un Israēla gods dod liecību pret viņa vaigu, bet tie neatgriežas pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, un tomēr viņu nemeklē.
The pride of Israel testifies against him; however, they have not returned to Yahweh their God, nor have they sought him, in spite of all this.
11 Jo Efraīms ir kā nejēdzīgs balodis bez prāta; Ēģipti tie piesauc, pie Asura tie staigā.
Ephraim is like a dove, gullible and without sense, calling out to Egypt, then flying to Assyria.
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.
When they go, I will spread my net over them, I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will punish them in their flocking together.
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. Devastation is coming to them! They have rebelled against me! I would have rescued them, but they spoke lies against 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 not cried to me with all their heart, but they wail on their beds. They gather together for grain and new wine, and they turn away from me.
15 Gan Es tos pamācu un stiprināju viņu elkoņus, bet tie domā ļaunu pret Mani.
Though I trained them and strengthened their arms, they are now plotting evil against me.
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 return, but they do not return to me, the Most High. They are like a slack bow. Their officials will fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongues. This will become their mockery in the land of Egypt.
