Hosea 12

1 Ephraim's food is the wind, and he goes after the east wind: deceit and destruction are increasing day by day; they make an agreement with Assyria, and take oil into Egypt.

Efraīms grābstās pēc vēja un dzenās pakaļ rīta vētrai, cauru dienu viņš vairo postu, un tie ceļ derību ar Asuru, un eļļa top vesta uz Ēģipti.

2 The Lord has a cause against Judah, and will give punishment to Jacob for his ways; he will give him the reward of his acts.

Tam Kungam jātiesājas ar Jūdu, un Jēkabu Viņš piemeklēs pēc viņa ceļiem, pēc viņa darbiem Viņš tam atmaksās.

3 In the body of his mother he took his brother by the foot, and in his strength he was fighting with God;

Mātes miesās viņš pamina savu brāli, un savā (vīra) spēkā viņš cīnījās ar Dievu.

4 He had a fight with the angel and overcame him; he made request for grace to him with weeping; he came face to face with him in Beth-el and there his words came to him;

Viņš stipri cīnījās ar to eņģeli un pārvarēja; viņš raudāja un Viņu lūdza; Bētelē Viņš to atrada, un tur Viņš ar mums runāja.

5 Even the Lord, the God of armies; the Lord is his name.

Un Tas Kungs ir tas Dievs Cebaot, Kungs ir Viņa vārds.

6 So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.

Tu tad atgriezies pie sava Dieva, pasargi žēlastību un tiesu un gaidi bez mitēšanās uz savu Dievu.

7 As for Canaan, the scales of deceit are in his hands; he takes pleasure in twisted ways.

Kanaāns, viņa rokā ir viltīgs svars, viņam mīl varas darbu darīt.

8 And Ephraim said, Now I have got wealth and much property; in all my works no sin may be seen in me.

Efraīms saka: taču es esmu tapis bagāts, esmu sev dabūjis lielu mantu, pie visas manas peļņas vainas nav, kas būtu grēks.

9 But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; I will give you tents for your living-places again as in the days of the holy meeting.

Bet Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kamēr no Ēģiptes zemes; Es tevi vēl likšu lieveņos dzīvot, kā svētku laikā.

10 My word came to the ears of the prophets and I gave them visions in great number, and by the mouths of the prophets I made use of comparisons.

Un Es runāju caur praviešiem, un vairoju parādīšanas, un caur praviešiem Es stāstu līdzības.

11 In Gilead there is evil. They are quite without value; in Gilgal they make offerings of oxen; truly their altars are like masses of stones in the hollows of a ploughed field.

Ja Gileādā griežas uz grēku, tad tiešām tie paliks par nieku; Gilgalā tie upurē vēršus; un viņu altāri būs kā akmeņu kopa tīruma vagās.

12 And Jacob went in flight into the field of Aram, and Israel became a servant for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

Jēkabs bēga uz Sīrijas klajumu, un Israēls kalpoja par sievu, sievas dēļ viņš bija gans.

13 And by a prophet the Lord made Israel come up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept safe.

Un Tas Kungs Israēli izveda no Ēģiptes caur vienu pravieti, un caur vienu pravieti tas tapa ganīts.

14 I have been bitterly moved to wrath by Ephraim; so that his blood will be on him, and the Lord will make his shame come back on him.

Bet Efraīms Viņu rūgti apkaitināja, tāpēc viņa Kungs viņa asinīm liks uz tā palikt, un tam atmaksās Viņa nievāšanu.
