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.
[You people of] Israel, do not shout joyfully [during your festivals] like [people of other] nations do! [I say that] because you have (not been faithful to/abandoned) me, your God. At every place where the people thresh grain you have [presented gifts to your idols like men] pay money to prostitutes.
2 Klons un eļļas spaids viņus nemielos un jaunais vīns tos pievils.
[But soon] there will not be enough grain [MTY, PRS] and wine [MTY, PRS] for you.
3 Tie nepaliks Tā Kunga zemē, bet Efraīms griezīsies atpakaļ uz Ēģipti, un Asīrijā tie ēdīs nešķīstu.
And you people will not remain in the land that I, Yahweh, [gave to your ancestors]. You will be [captured and] taken to [Assyria], [where you will become slaves like your ancestors were] in Egypt; and in Assyria you will be forced to eat food that Yahweh has forbidden you to eat.
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.
You Israelis will not [be able to] give wine offerings to him, or bring sacrifices to him. None of your other sacrifices will please him; they will be unacceptable to him, like [SIM] food that is touched by people at funerals, and everyone who eats that food will become unacceptable to him. They will be permitted to eat that food themselves, but they will not [be permitted to] bring it into the temple.
5 Ko tad jūs darīsiet svētkos un Tā Kunga svētā dienā?
At that time you will not [RHQ] be able to celebrate the feasts and sacred festivals.
6 Jo redzi, tiem jāaiziet tā posta dēļ, Ēģipte tos sapulcinās, Memfisa viņus apraks. Nātres mantos viņu sudraba dārgumus, ērkšķi būs viņu dzīvokļos.
And even if you escape and are not killed [by the Assyrians], you will be captured by [the army of] Egypt, and you will [die and] be buried in Memphis, [the capital of Egypt]. Briers will [grow up and] cover your treasures of silver, and thorns will grow in your [ruined] tents/houses.
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.
It is now the time for Yahweh to punish you, to pay you back for all the sins that you have committed. You people will [soon] know that. You have [committed] very many sins, and you very much hate Yahweh. You consider that the prophets are foolish, and you think that those who proclaim messages from him are crazy.
8 Efraīms lūko manam Dievam garām, un pravieši ir palikuši par slazda valgiem uz visiem viņa ceļiem, naids ir viņu dieva namā.
My God appointed [me and the other] prophets to be [like] [MET] watchmen [to warn] you people of Israel, but everywhere that we go, [it is as though] people set traps for us and people are hostile [to us, even] in the temple of our God.
9 Tie ir dziļi maitājušies tā kā Ģibejas dienās; viņš pieminēs viņu noziegumu, viņš piemeklēs viņu grēkus.
The sins that the Israeli people have committed are as awful as [what the men of] Gibeah did long ago; [so] God will not forget the wicked things that they have done; he will punish the Israelis for [all] those sins.
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.
[Yahweh says], “When I first started [to do things to help] Israel, it seemed to me as though [SIM] I had found grapes in the desert. Your ancestors were [delightful], like [SIM] the first figs that grow on fig trees [each year]. But when they came to Peor [Mountain], they worshiped that disgusting idol Baal, and they became as disgusting as the idol that they loved.
11 Efraīma godība aizskries kā putns, ka tur ne dzemdēs, nedz taps grūtas, nedz ieņems.
The things that cause Israel to be great will disappear like [SIM] a bird that flies away; [most of their women will] not become pregnant [DOU] or give birth to children.
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 if their children are born and start to grow up, I will cause all of them to die [while they are still young]. Terrible things will happen to them when I abandon them!
13 Efraīms, ko Es biju izredzējis, būt par Tiru, bija stādīts skaistā vietā, bet Efraīmam savi bērni jaiznes slepkavam.
I have seen Israel become beautiful and prosperous like Tyre [city] was [before it was destroyed], but now the people of Israel will [be forced to] take their children to be slaughtered [by their enemies].”
14 Dod tiem, ak Kungs! Ko lai Tu dodi? Dod tiem neauglīgas miesas un izsīkušas krūtis.
Yahweh, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should ask for my people. So I ask that you do this one thing: Cause the women who are pregnant to have miscarriages and unable [to nurse their babies].
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.
[Yahweh says], “Because of all the wicked things that my people did at Gilgal, that is where I started to hate them. [And now], because of [all] the sinful things that they have done, I will expel them from my country. I will not love them any longer; all their leaders rebel [against me].
16 Efraīms ir sasists, viņu sakne ir izkaltusi; tie nenesīs nekādus augļus; un jebšu tie dzemdinātu, tomēr Es viņu miesas mīlulīšus gribu nokaut.
Israel is like [MET] a grapevine that is dried up; [like a vine] [MET] whose roots are withered and that produces no fruit. Even if the [women of Israel] give birth to [more] children, I will cause those children, whom they love, to die.
17 Mans Dievs tos atmetīs, tāpēc ka tie Viņam neklausīja, un tie būs bēguļi starp tautām.
The people of Israel have not obeyed me, their God, so I will reject them. [As a result], they will wander among the [other] nations, [searching for a place to live].”
