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.
“Listen, you priests! And you [other] Israeli people, you also pay attention! And you who are members of the king’s family, [you also need to] listen, because [I am going to] judge you! Your [worshiping idols] has been [like] [MET] a trap for [the people at] Mizpah [town]; it has been [like][MET] a net spread out [to catch people] at Tabor [Mountain].
2 Nýbrž k zabíjení uchylujíce se, připadají k zemi, ale já ztresci každého z nich.
You have done many evil things, so I will punish all of you.
3 Známť já Efraima, a Izrael není ukryt přede mnou; nebo nyní smilníš, Efraime, poškvrňuje se Izrael.
I know [everything about the people of] Israel; nothing that they have done is hidden from me. Because [the people of] Israel have given themselves [to worshiping idols] like [MET] prostitutes [give themselves to the men they sleep with], they have become unacceptable to me.
4 Nemají se k tomu, aby se obrátili k Bohu svému, proto že duch smilství mezi nimi jest, Hospodina pak znáti nechtějí,
Because they [like to do evil] things, they will not return to [me], their God. Like prostitutes [who have abandoned their husbands] [MET], they have [IDM] abandoned [MET] me; they do not [even] know me, Yahweh.
5 Tak že hrdost Izraelova svědčí vůči proti němu; protož Izrael i Efraim padnou pro nepravost svou, padne také i Juda s nimi.
[It is as though] their being proud testifies [PRS] against them. The sins that [the people of] Israel have committed [are like a heavy load that] causes them to stumble, and [the people of] Judah stumble with them.
6 S stády bravů a skotů svých půjdou hledati Hospodina, však nenaleznou; vzdáliltě se od nich.
They will come to worship [me], Yahweh, bringing their herds of sheep and cattle, but they will not [be able to] find me, because I have abandoned them.
7 Hospodinu se zpronevěřili, nebo syny cizí zplodili; jižť je zžíře měsíc i s jměním jejich.
They have abandoned me; and their children do not belong to me [MET]. So [they will not be able to celebrate their festivals at] the new moons [because I] will destroy them and [the crops in] their fields.
8 Trubte trubou v Gabaa, a na pozoun v Ráma; křičte v Betaven: Po tobě, ó Beniamine.
Blow the [rams’] horns in Gibeah [town] [and blow] the trumpets in Ramah [town]! Warn [the people at] Beth-Aven [town]; you warriors of the tribe of Benjamin, lead the troops [into the battle].
9 Efraim zpuštěn bude v den kázně, v němž po pokoleních Izraelských uvedu v známost pravdu.
Israel will be ruined on the day that [I] destroy them. What I am telling to the tribes of Israel will certainly [happen].
10 Knížata Judská jsou podobná těm, kteříž přenášejí mezník; vyleji na ně jako vodu prchlivost svou.
[Because] the leaders of Judah [seized some land that belonged to Israel], they are like [SIM] those who move boundary markers [to get more land for themselves]; [so] I will punish them severely [MET].
11 Utištěn jest Efraim, potřín soudem, však sobě libuje choditi za rozkazem.
And [the people of] Israel will suffer greatly when I punish them, because they are [very] determined to worship idols.
12 Protož i já byl jsem jako mol Efraimovi, a jako hnis domu Judovu.
I will destroy [the people of] Israel like [SIM] ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches) destroy wool, and I will cause [the people of] Judah to be like [SIM] rotten wood.
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 [the leaders of] Israel and Judah saw that the people were suffering because of what [their enemies were doing to them] [MET], they sent [messages] to the great King of Assyria requesting [his help]. But he cannot help you; he cannot cause you to stop suffering, [because I am the one who is punishing Israel and Judah].
14 Nebo já jsem jako lítý lev Efraimovi, a jako lvíče domu Judovu; já, já uchvátím a ujdu, vezmu, a žádný nevytrhne.
I will become like [SIM] a lion [DOU] to both nations; I will [attack them and] tear them to pieces. I will drag them away, and no one will [be able to] rescue them.
15 Odejda, navrátím se na místo své, až se vinni dadí, a hledati budou tváři mé.
[After that], I will return to my place [in heaven] until they admit that they have sinned [MTY] and return to me; when they will experience [many] troubles, they will request me [to help them].”
