Hozeáš 13
1 Když mluvíval Efraim, býval strach; vznešený byl v Izraeli, ale prohřešiv při Bálovi, tožť umřel.
[Previously], when [the leaders of] Israel spoke, the people trembled; those leaders were highly respected by the Israeli people. But the people sinned greatly by [worshiping] Baal, so now they will be killed [by their enemies].
2 A i nyní ještě předce hřeší. Nebo dělají sobě a slévají z stříbra svého podlé rozumu svého strašidla, ješto všecko to není než dílo řemeslníků, o čemž říkají: Lidé, kteříž obětují, telata ať líbají.
Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves [and coat the idols] with their silver. Those idols are statues that are very cleverly made, but those statues are made by [mere] humans. But [the people are told], “Kiss those idols [that resemble a] calf, and offer sacrifices to them!”
3 Protož budou jako oblak ranní a jako rosa jitřní, kteráž odchází, jako plevy vichřicí zachvácené z humna, a jako dým z komínu,
Therefore, those people will [disappear quickly] like [SIM] the morning mist or the dew that lies [on the ground] early [in the morning]; [they will disappear] like [SIM] chaff that is blown away from where [the wheat] is threshed, like [SIM] smoke that goes out of a chimney.
4 Ješto já jsem Hospodin Bůh tvůj od vyjití z země Egyptské, a Boha kromě mne nepoznal jsi, aniž jest jiný vysvoboditel kromě mne.
But [Yahweh says to his people], “I am Yahweh, your God, [the one who brought your ancestors] out of Egypt. You must believe that only I am God and that there is no other God, and that there is no one else who can save you!
5 Jáť jsem tě poznal na poušti v zemi velmi vyprahlé.
I took care of your [ancestors when they were] in the desert, where it was extremely [hot and] dry.
6 Dobré pastvy měvše, nasyceni jsou, ale když se nasytili, pozdvihlo se srdce jejich, protož zapomenuli na mne.
When I provided food for them, their [stomachs] were full, and they were satisfied. But then they became proud and they forgot [about] me, [and you are like your ancestors]!
7 Pročež budu jim jako lítý lev, jako pardus vedlé cesty číhati budu.
So I will attack you like [SIM] a lion [attacks other animals]; I will be like [SIM] a leopard that waits beside the road [to attack another animal].
8 Potkám se s nimi jako nedvěd osiřelý, a roztrhám všecko srdce jejich, a sežeru je tam jako lev, jako zvěř divoká roztrhující je.
Like [SIM] a female bear attacks anyone that steals her cubs, I will attack you Israelis and rip you open. I will completely destroy you like [SIM] lions or [other] wild animals tear apart the animals that they catch and devour them.
9 Z tebeť jest zhouba tvá, ó Izraeli, ješto ve mně všecka pomoc tvá.
[You people of] Israel, you will be destroyed because you oppose me, the only one who (can help/helps) you.
10 Kdež jest král tvůj? Kdež jest? Nechť tě zachová ve všech městech tvých. Aneb soudcové tvoji, o nichž jsi řekl: Dej mi krále a knížata?
You have a king; (why is he [unable to save you]?/but he is [unable to save you].) [RHQ] You have [RHQ] rulers in all your towns, but they are not helping you, [either]. Your [ancestors] said, ‘Appoint for us a king and [other] leaders [to rule over us] [like the other nations have]!’
11 Dal jsem tobě krále v hněvě svém, a odjal jsem v prchlivosti své.
I was angry with them [for requesting that], but I appointed a king [to rule over] them. But [later] I became very angry with them [again], so I took their king away.
12 Svázánať jest nepravost Efraimova, schován jest hřích jeho.
[I have written on a scroll] a record of the sins that have been committed by you people of Israel, and I have stored away that record.
13 Bolesti rodičky přijdou na něj; jest syn nemoudrý, sic jinak nezůstával by tak dlouho v životě matky.
You people are not wise; and now [you are helpless]. You are like [MET] a woman who is having birth pains but who is unable to give birth to the baby.
14 Z ruky hrobu vyplatím je, od smrti vykoupím je; budu zhoubcím tvým, ó smrti, budu zkažením tvým, ó hrobe, želení skryto bude od očí mých. (Sheol h7585)
I certainly will not [RHQ] save you from being killed and from going to the place where the dead people are. I will [RHQ] cause you to be afflicted by plagues and to die and be buried in graves. I will not be merciful [to you]. (Sheol h7585)
15 Nebo on mezi bratřími ovoce ponese, ač prv přijde vítr východní, vítr Hospodinův od pouště vstupující, a vysuší studnice jeho, osuší i vrchoviště jeho; onenno rozchvátá poklad všech nejdražších klénotů.
Even if you people of Israel prosper more than the nearby nations do, [the army of Assyria] will come [like] [MET] an east wind that blows from the desert; the springs and wells in Israel will become dry; and [your enemies] will take away all your valuable possessions.
16 Zpuštěna bude Samaří, proto že se protivila Bohu svému; od meče padnou, dítky jejich zrozrážíny budou, a těhotné ženy jejich zroztínány.
[You people of] Samaria must be punished because you have rebelled against [me], your God. You will be killed by [your enemies’] swords; your little children will be [killed by being] dashed/thrown to the ground; the [bellies of] women [among you] will be ripped open.”
