Hošea 5
1 Poslušajte ovo, svećenici, pazi, dome Izraelov, dome kraljev, de posluhni, jer vaš je sud! Vi ste bili zamka u Mispi i mreža napeta na Taboru.
Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for to you pertains the judgment. For ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
2 Jamu su duboko iskopali prestupnici, ali ću ih sve kazniti.
And the revolters have gone deep in making slaughter, but I am a rebuker of them all.
3 Poznajem ja Efrajima, Izrael mi nije sakriven: da, Efrajime, bludu si se odao, okaljao si se, Izraele.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. For now, O Ephraim, thou have played the harlot; Israel is defiled.
4 Ne daju im djela njihova da se Bogu svome vrate, jer je duh bluda među njima; oni Jahve ne poznaju.
Their doings will not allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they do not know Jehovah.
5 Ponos Izraelov svjedoči protiv njega; svojom krivnjom posrnu Efrajim, posrnut će i Juda s njim.
And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity. Judah also shall stumble with them.
6 Ići će s ovcama i govedima Jahvu tražiti ali ga naći neće - povukao se od njih!
They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah, but they shall not find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
7 Jahvu su iznevjerili: rodili su kopilad; vjetar će žarki proždrijeti polja njihova.
They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah, for they have borne strange sons. Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
8 Zasvirajte u rog u Gibeji, u trublju u Rami, uzbunite Bet Aven: za petama su ti, Benjamine!
Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven, behind thee, O Benjamin.
9 Opustošit će Efrajima u dan kazne: među plemenima Izraelovim objavljujem ono što je sasvim pouzdano.
Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke. I have made known that which shall surely be among the tribes of Israel.
10 Knezovi judejski postadoše poput onih što razmiču međe; na njih ću k'o vodu gnjev svoj izliti.
The rulers of Judah are like those who remove the landmark. I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11 Efrajim je tlačitelj, on pravdu gazi jer mu se svidjelo ići za ništavilom.
Ephraim is oppressed. He is crushed in judgment, because he was content to walk after man's command.
12 A ja ću biti poput moljca Efrajimu, kao gnjilež kući Judinoj.
Therefore I am to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13 Tad je Efrajim svoju bolest vidio, a Juda ranu svoju; i pođe Efrajim u Asiriju, obrati se Juda velikome kralju; al' on vas neće iscijeliti niti vam ranu vašu zaliječiti.
When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb. But he is not able to heal you, nor will he cure you of your wound.
14 Jer k'o lav ću biti Efrajimu, kao lavić domu Judinu; ja, ja ću razderati i otići, odnijet ću i nitko neće spasiti.
For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away, I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.
15 Poći ću, vratit ću se na svoje mjesto, dok krivnju ne priznaju i lice moje ne potraže; kad u nevolji budu, iskat će me.
I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.
