Hozejas 11
1 Kad Israēls bija bērns, tad Es viņu mīlēju, un Savu dēlu atsaucu no Ēģiptes.
When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 Bet jo (tie pravieši) tos sauca, jo vairāk tie no viņiem nogāja; tie upurēja Baāliem un kvēpināja elku tēliem.
[As] they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Es tomēr Efraīmu mācīju staigāt, Es tos ņēmu uz Savām rokām, bet tie neatzina, ka Es tos dziedināju.
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 Es tos vilku ar cilvēka valgiem, ar mīlestības saitēm, un tiem biju kā kas apaušus no viņu žokļiem atvieglina, un Es tiem pasniedzu barību.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid food for them.
5 Viņš neatgriezīsies atpakaļ uz Ēģiptes zemi, bet Asurs, tas būs viņa ķēniņš, tāpēc ka tie liedzās atgriezties.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6 Un zobens zibēs viņu pilsētās un nobeigs un aprīs viņu aizšaujamos viņu padomu dēļ.
And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
7 Jo Maniem ļaudīm prāts nesās, no Manis nogriezties; tie gan top aicināti uz augšu, bet neviena nav, kas ceļas.
And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].
8 Kā Es tev darīšu, Efraīm? Vai Man tevi būs nodot, Israēl? Vai Es tev darīšu kā Admai? Vai tevi postīšu kā Ceboīmu? Mana sirds ir griezusies, un Mana apžēlošanās visai iedegusies.
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 Es nedarīšu pēc Savas bardzības karstuma, nedz Efraīmu atkal postīšu, jo Es esmu Dievs un ne cilvēks, tas Svētais tavā vidū. Un dusmās Es nenākšu.
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Tad tie dzīsies Tam Kungam pakaļ, Viņš kauks kā lauva, un kad Viņš kauks, tad tie bērni no vakara puses drebēs.
They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11 Tie drebēdami nāks no Ēģiptes, kā putns un kā balodis no Asura zemes, un Es tiem likšu dzīvot viņu namos, tā saka Tas Kungs.
They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
12 Efraīms Mani apstāj ar meliem un Israēla nams ar viltu, un Jūda vēl šaubās ap Dievu, to uzticīgo un svēto.
Ephraim encompasseth me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
