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, ye priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ear, O house of the king: for this judgment is for you; 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 they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser 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, Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom; 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 do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they know not Jehovah.
5 Ponos Izraelov svjedoči protiv njega; svojom krivnjom posrnu Efrajim, posrnut će i Juda s njim.
And Israel's pride doth testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity: Judah also shall fall 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They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find [him]: he hath withdrawn himself from them.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 begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them, with their allotted possessions.
8 Zasvirajte u rog u Gibeji, u trublju u Rami, uzbunite Bet Aven: za petama su ti, Benjamine!
Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud [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 be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.
10 Knezovi judejski postadoše poput onih što razmiču međe; na njih ću k'o vodu gnjev svoj izliti.
The princes of Judah are become like them that 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, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man].
12 A ja ću biti poput moljca Efrajimu, kao gnjilež kući Judinoj.
And I will be unto 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 his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.
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 unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, 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 away, I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their trespass, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
