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.
Do not rejoice, Israel, with joy like the other peoples. For you have been unfaithful, forsaking your God. You love to pay the wages a prostitute requires on all the threshing floors.
2 Klons un eļļas spaids viņus nemielos un jaunais vīns tos pievils.
But the threshing floor and the winepress will not 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 continue to live in Yahweh's land; instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt, and one day they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
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 pour out no wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like mourners' food: all who eat it will be defiled. For their food will be for themselves only; it will not come into the house of Yahweh.
5 Ko tad jūs darīsiet svētkos un Tā Kunga svētā dienā?
What will you do on the day of an appointed festival, on the day of a festival for Yahweh?
6 Jo redzi, tiem jāaiziet tā posta dēļ, Ēģipte tos sapulcinās, Memfisa viņus apraks. Nātres mantos viņu sudraba dārgumus, ērkšķi būs viņu dzīvokļos.
For, look, if they escape from destruction, Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them. As for their treasures of silver— sharp briers will possess them, and thorns will fill 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 for punishment are coming; the days for retribution are coming. Let all Israel know these things. The prophet is a fool, and the inspired man is insane, because of your great iniquity and great hostility.
8 Efraīms lūko manam Dievam garām, un pravieši ir palikuši par slazda valgiem uz visiem viņa ceļiem, naids ir viņu dieva namā.
The prophet is the watchman for my God over Ephraim. But a bird snare is on all of his paths, and hostility toward him is in the house of his God.
9 Tie ir dziļi maitājušies tā kā Ģibejas dienās; viņš pieminēs viņu noziegumu, viņš piemeklēs viņu grēkus.
They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. God will call to mind their iniquity, and he will punish their 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 found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness. Like the very first fruit of the season on the fig tree, I found your fathers. But they went to Baal Peor, and they devoted themselves to that shameful idol. They became as detestable as the idol they loved.
11 Efraīma godība aizskries kā putns, ka tur ne dzemdēs, nedz taps grūtas, nedz ieņems.
As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, no pregnancy, and no 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!
Though they have brought up children, I will take them away so that none of them 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.
I have seen Ephraim, just like Tyre, planted in a meadow, but Ephraim will bring out his children to someone who will slaughter them.”
14 Dod tiem, ak Kungs! Ko lai Tu dodi? Dod tiem neauglīgas miesas un izsīkušas krūtis.
Give them, Yahweh—what will you give them? Give them a miscarrying womb and breasts that give no milk.
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.
“Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, that is where I began to hate them. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their officials 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 diseased, and their root is dried up; they bear no fruit. Even if they have children, I will put their beloved children to death.”
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 obeyed him. They will become wanderers among the nations.
