Hozejas 9
1 Nepriecājies, Israēl, ar gavilēšanu kā tās tautas, jo tu dzen maucību, atkāpdamies no sava Dieva, tu mīļo mauku algu uz visiem labības kloniem.
Rejoice not too loudly, Israel, like the nations, for you have commited adultery, being untrue to your God. You have loved a prostitute’s wages on every threshing floor.
2 Klons un eļļas spaids viņus nemielos un jaunais vīns tos pievils.
Threshing floor and wine vat won’t feed them, the new wine will fail them.
3 Tie nepaliks Tā Kunga zemē, bet Efraīms griezīsies atpakaļ uz Ēģipti, un Asīrijā tie ēdīs nešķīstu.
They will not stay in the Lord’s land, but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean.
4 Tie Tam Kungam nenesīs dzeramus upurus no vīna, un viņu kaujamie upuri viņam nepatiks; tie viņiem būs kā bēru maize. Visi, kas to ēd, apgānās, jo viņu maize ir priekš viņiem pašiem, un nenāk Tā Kunga namā.
They will not pour out libations of wine to the Lord, nor please him with their sacrifices. Their bread will be like the bread of mourners: all who eat it will defile themselves. For their bread will be only for their hunger, it will not come into the Lord’s temple.
5 Ko tad jūs darīsiet svētkos un Tā Kunga svētā dienā?
What will you do on the day of the festival? Or on the day of the Lord’s feast?
6 Jo redzi, tiem jāaiziet tā posta dēļ, Ēģipte tos sapulcinās, Memfisa viņus apraks. Nātres mantos viņu sudraba dārgumus, ērkšķi būs viņu dzīvokļos.
Even if they flee from destruction, Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them. Nettles will take possession of their treasure of silver, thorns will push into their tents.
7 Piemeklēšanas dienas nākušas, atmaksāšanas dienas ir klāt, Israēls to samanīs! Tie pravieši ir ģeķi, tie gara vīri ir traki, - visa tava lielā nozieguma un lielā naida dēļ.
The days of punishment are come, the days of recompense are at hand, as soon the Israelites will know! ‘The prophet is a fool, the inspired man is raving mad!’ It is because of the greatness of your iniquity and the greatness of your hatred.
8 Efraīms lūko manam Dievam garām, un pravieši ir palikuši par slazda valgiem uz visiem viņa ceļiem, naids ir viņu dieva namā.
Ephraim acts the spy with my God, a prophet finds the snares of a fowler are in all his ways. In the house of his God they lay hostile plots,
9 Tie ir dziļi maitājušies tā kā Ģibejas dienās; viņš pieminēs viņu noziegumu, viņš piemeklēs viņu grēkus.
they commit crimes as in the days of Gibeah, God will remember their iniquity. He will punish their sin.
10 Es atradu Israēli kā vīna ogu ķekarus tuksnesī, Es ieraudzīju jūsu tēvus kā pirmajus augļus pie vīģes koka; bet tie nogāja pie BaālPeora un padevās tam bezkaunīgam un tapa tik neganti kā viņu drauģeļi.
I found Israel like finding grapes in the wilderness. I saw your ancestors like they were the first fruit on a fig tree, but as soon as they came to Baal-peor, they consecrated themselves to shamefulness, and became as abominable as the object of their love.
11 Efraīma godība aizskries kā putns, ka tur ne dzemdēs, nedz taps grūtas, nedz ieņems.
Ephraim – like a bird his glory flies away. There will be no more birth, no more motherhood, no more conception.
12 Un jebšu tie savus bērnus uzaudzinātu, tomēr Es tiem tos gribu laupīt, ka cilvēku neatliek. Ak vai, tiem, kad Es no tiem būšu atstājies!
Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them until not one is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them!
13 Efraīms, ko Es biju izredzējis, būt par Tiru, bija stādīts skaistā vietā, bet Efraīmam savi bērni jaiznes slepkavam.
Ephraim – planted like Tyre in a meadow, But Ephraim too must lead forth their children to slaughter.
14 Dod tiem, ak Kungs! Ko lai Tu dodi? Dod tiem neauglīgas miesas un izsīkušas krūtis.
Give them, Lord – what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and shrivelled up breasts!
15 Visa viņu negantība ir Gilgalā, tur Es tos ienīdēju. Viņu ļauno darbu dēļ Es tos izdzīšu no Sava nama, Es joprojām tos vairs nemīļošu; - visi viņu lielkungi ir atkāpēji.
All their evil began in Gilgal, there I learned to hate them. Because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them, for all their princes are rebels.
16 Efraīms ir sasists, viņu sakne ir izkaltusi; tie nenesīs nekādus augļus; un jebšu tie dzemdinātu, tomēr Es viņu miesas mīlulīšus gribu nokaut.
Ephraim is blighted, their root withered. If they do bear children, I will slay the darlings of their womb,
17 Mans Dievs tos atmetīs, tāpēc ka tie Viņam neklausīja, un tie būs bēguļi starp tautām.
My God will reject them because they have not listened to him, and they will become wanderers among the nations.
