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 priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house! For this judgment is against you because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor.
2 Jamu su duboko iskopali prestupnici, ali ću ih sve kazniti.
The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I will chastise them all.
3 Poznajem ja Efrajima, Izrael mi nije sakriven: da, Efrajime, bludu si se odao, okaljao si se, Izraele.
I know all about Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me. For now, O Ephraim, you have turned to prostitution; 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 deeds do not permit them to return to their God, for a spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
5 Ponos Izraelov svjedoči protiv njega; svojom krivnjom posrnu Efrajim, posrnut će i Juda s njim.
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; even Judah stumbles with them.
6 Ići će s ovcama i govedima Jahvu tražiti ali ga naći neće - povukao se od njih!
They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.
7 Jahvu su iznevjerili: rodili su kopilad; vjetar će žarki proždrijeti polja njihova.
They have been unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will devour them along with their land.
8 Zasvirajte u rog u Gibeji, u trublju u Rami, uzbunite Bet Aven: za petama su ti, Benjamine!
Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth-aven: Lead on, O Benjamin!
9 Opustošit će Efrajima u dan kazne: među plemenima Izraelovim objavljujem ono što je sasvim pouzdano.
Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.
10 Knezovi judejski postadoše poput onih što razmiču međe; na njih ću k'o vodu gnjev svoj izliti.
The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary stones; I will pour out My fury upon them like water.
11 Efrajim je tlačitelj, on pravdu gazi jer mu se svidjelo ići za ništavilom.
Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow worthless idols.
12 A ja ću biti poput moljca Efrajimu, kao gnjilež kući Judinoj.
So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
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 his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal 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 am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can rescue them.
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.
Then I will return to My place until they admit their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
