Hozeáš 5
1 Slyštež to, ó kněží, a pozorujte, dome Izraelský, i dome královský, poslouchejte, nebo proti vám soud tento jest, proto že jste osídlo v Masfa, a sítka rozestřená na vrchu Tábor.
Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.
2 Nýbrž k zabíjení uchylujíce se, připadají k zemi, ale já ztresci každého z nich.
They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.
3 Známť já Efraima, a Izrael není ukryt přede mnou; nebo nyní smilníš, Efraime, poškvrňuje se Izrael.
I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.
4 Nemají se k tomu, aby se obrátili k Bohu svému, proto že duch smilství mezi nimi jest, Hospodina pak znáti nechtějí,
Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.
5 Tak že hrdost Izraelova svědčí vůči proti němu; protož Izrael i Efraim padnou pro nepravost svou, padne také i Juda s nimi.
And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.
6 S stády bravů a skotů svých půjdou hledati Hospodina, však nenaleznou; vzdáliltě se od nich.
They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.
7 Hospodinu se zpronevěřili, nebo syny cizí zplodili; jižť je zžíře měsíc i s jměním jejich.
They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
8 Trubte trubou v Gabaa, a na pozoun v Ráma; křičte v Betaven: Po tobě, ó Beniamine.
Let the horn be sounded in Gibeah and in Ramah; give a loud cry in Beth-aven, They are after you, O Benjamin.
9 Efraim zpuštěn bude v den kázně, v němž po pokoleních Izraelských uvedu v známost pravdu.
Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.
10 Knížata Judská jsou podobná těm, kteříž přenášejí mezník; vyleji na ně jako vodu prchlivost svou.
The rulers of Judah are like those who take away a landmark; I will let loose my wrath on them like flowing water.
11 Utištěn jest Efraim, potřín soudem, však sobě libuje choditi za rozkazem.
Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.
12 Protož i já byl jsem jako mol Efraimovi, a jako hnis domu Judovu.
And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.
13 Pročež vida Efraim neduh svůj, a Juda nežit svůj, utekl se Efraim k Assurovi, a poslal k králi, kterýž by se o něj zasadil. Ale on nebude moci zhojiti vás, ani uzdraviti vás od nežitů.
When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.
14 Nebo já jsem jako lítý lev Efraimovi, a jako lvíče domu Judovu; já, já uchvátím a ujdu, vezmu, a žádný nevytrhne.
For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.
15 Odejda, navrátím se na místo své, až se vinni dadí, a hledati budou tváři mé.
I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.
