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.
“Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgement is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
2 Jamu su duboko iskopali prestupnici, ali ću ih sve kazniti.
The rebels are deep in slaughter, but I discipline all of them.
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 hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. 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 won’t allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don’t know the LORD.
5 Ponos Izraelov svjedoči protiv njega; svojom krivnjom posrnu Efrajim, posrnut će i Juda s njim.
The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
6 Ići će s ovcama i govedima Jahvu tražiti ali ga naći neće - povukao se od njih!
They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD, but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
7 Jahvu su iznevjerili: rodili su kopilad; vjetar će žarki proždrijeti polja njihova.
They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
8 Zasvirajte u rog u Gibeji, u trublju u Rami, uzbunite Bet Aven: za petama su ti, Benjamine!
“Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the shofar in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
9 Opustošit će Efrajima u dan kazne: među plemenima Izraelovim objavljujem ono što je sasvim pouzdano.
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Amongst the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
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 remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
11 Efrajim je tlačitelj, on pravdu gazi jer mu se svidjelo ići za ništavilom.
Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgement, because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
12 A ja ću biti poput moljca Efrajimu, kao gnjilež kući Judinoj.
Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like 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 wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither 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 like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one 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, until they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
