Hozejas 8
1 Liec bazūni pie savas mutes; Viņš nāk kā ērglis pret Tā Kunga namu, tādēļ ka tie Manu derību pārlauzuši un no Manas bauslības atkāpušies.
Put the trumpet to thy mouth! Like an eagle cometh an enemy against the house of Jehovah, Because they have transgressed my covenant, And have rebelled against my law.
2 Tad tie uz Mani kliegs: mans Dievs! Mēs, Israēls, mēs Tevi pazīstam.
They shall say to me, My God, we know thee, we, thine Israel!
3 Israēls atmet labu, ienaidnieks viņu vajās.
Israel hath cast away what is good; The enemy shall pursue him.
4 Tie ieceļ ķēniņus, bet bez Manis; tie ieceļ virsniekus, bet Es tos nepazīstu, no sava sudraba un no sava zelta tie sev taisa dievekļus, lai tas top izdeldēts.
They have set up kings, but not by me; They have made princes, and I knew it not. Of their silver and their gold have they made themselves idols, That they may be brought to destruction.
5 Tavs teļš, Samarija, ir riebīgs; Mana dusmība pār tiem iedegusies, - cik ilgi tie nevar palikt nenoziedzīgi?
An abomination is thy calf, O Samaria! Mine anger is kindled against them; How long will it be ere they can attain to purity!
6 Jo arī tas ir no Israēla, kalējs to ir taisījis, un tas nav nekāds dievs; tāpēc Samarijas teļš taps par gruvešiem.
For from Israel it came; The workman made it, and it is no God; Yea, into fragments shall the calf of Samaria be broken.
7 Jo tie sēj vēju un pļaus auku; viņu druvas necelsies, un kas izplaukst, tas nedos miltus, un jebšu tas ko dotu, tomēr sveši to aprīs.
They have sown the wind, And they shall reap the whirlwind. They shall have no standing harvest; The ear shall yield no meal; If perchance it yield, strangers shall devour it.
8 Israēls top aprīts; tie ir starp pagāniem kā trauks, ko neviens negrib,
Israel is swallowed up; Soon shall they become among the nations As a vessel which no one desireth.
9 Tāpēc ka tie skrien pie Asura, kā meža ēzelis, kas skrien par sevi; Efraīms sader drauģeļus par maksu.
For they have gone up to Assyria, Like a solitary wild-ass; Ephraim hireth lovers;
10 Kad tie nu saderās(nolīgst sabiedrotos) starp pagāniem, tad tūlīt arī es tos sapulcināšu, un tiem drīz uzies raizes no tā valdnieku ķēniņa nastas.
But though they hire among the nations, Soon will I gather the nations against them; Then shall they rest a little while from the burden of their king, and their princes!
11 Jo Efraīms ir vairojis altārus par apgrēkošanos, viņam altāri palikuši par apgrēkošanos.
Ephraim hath built many altars for sin, Therefore shall he have altars for sin.
12 Es tam uzrakstīju lielu pulku savu baušļu, bet tie tapa turēti kā sveša lieta.
Though I write for him many laws, They are accounted as a strange thing;
13 Par upuru dāvanu tie gan gaļu upurē un to ēd, bet Tam Kungam nav labs prāts pie tiem; un Viņš pieminēs viņu noziegumus un piemeklēs viņu grēkus; tie griežas atpakaļ uz Ēģipti.
As to the sacrifices which they should offer me, they slay flesh and eat it; Jehovah hath no pleasure in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, And punish their sins; To Egypt shall they return.
14 Jo Israēls ir aizmirsis savu Radītāju un cēlis pilis, un Jūda vairo stipras pilsētas, bet Es sūtīšu uguni viņu pilsētās, tas aprīs viņu pilis.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, And Judah hath multiplied fenced cities; But I will send a fire upon his cities, And it shall devour his palaces.
