Hozeáš 7
1 Když léčím Izraele, tedy zjevuje se nepravost Efraimova a zlosti Samařské; nebo provodí faleš. Vnitř zlodějství, a vně provozují loupežnictví.
When I was willing to heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the malice of Samaria, for they had been manufacturing lies. And the thief steals from inside, the robber from outside.
2 Aniž na to pomýšlejí v srdci svém, že na všecku nešlechetnost jejich pamatují; již je obkličují skutkové jejich, a před mým oblíčejem jsou.
And, so that they may not say in their hearts that I am the one who has called to mind all of their wickedness: now their own inventions have encircled them. These things have happened in my presence.
3 Nešlechetností svou obveselují krále, a klamy svými knížata.
The king has rejoiced at their wickedness, and the leaders have rejoiced in their lies.
4 Všickni napořád cizoloží, podobni jsouce peci zanícené od pekaře, kterýž přestává bdíti, jen ažby zadělané těsto zkynulo.
They are all adulterers; like an oven heating up before baking, the city rested a little before the leaven was mixed in, until the whole was leavened.
5 V den krále našeho k nemoci jej přivodí knížata láhvicí vína; vztahuje ruku svou s posměvači.
On the day of our king, the leaders began to be mad with wine; he extended his hand with those who fabricate illusions.
6 Nebo přiložili k úkladům svým srdce své podobné peci; celou noc spí pekař jejich, v jitře hoří jako plamen ohně.
For they have used their heart like an oven, while he laid snares for them; he slept through the night baking them, and by morning he himself was heated like a burning fire.
7 Všickni napořád rozpáleni jsou jako pec, a zžírají soudce své; všickni králové jejich padají, aniž kdo z nich volá ke mně.
They have all become hot like an oven, and they have devoured their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one who calls to me among them.
8 Efraim s národy smísil se, Efraim bude chléb podpopelný neobrácený.
Ephraim himself has been mingled with the nations. Ephraim has become like bread, baked under ashes, that has not been turned over.
9 Cizozemci zžírají sílu jeho, ačkoli on toho nezná; i šedinami prokvítaje, však vždy toho nezná.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he did not know it. And grey hairs also have spread across him, and he is ignorant of it.
10 A ačkoli pýcha Izraelova svědčí vůči proti němu, však se nenavracují k Hospodinu Bohu svému, aniž ho hledají s tím se vším.
And the pride of Israel will be brought low before his face, for they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all of this.
11 A Efraim jest jako holubice hloupá bez srdce; k Egyptskému králi volají, k Assyrskému se utíkají.
And Ephraim has become like a pigeon that has been led astray, not having a heart; for they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
12 Když odejdou, roztáhnu na ně sítku svou, a jako ptactvo nebeské přitrhnu je; kárati je budu tak, jakž slýcháno bylo o tom v shromáždění jejich.
And when they will set out, I will spread my net over them. I will pull them down like the birds of the sky; I will cut them down in accordance with the reports of their meetings.
13 Běda jim, že jsou poběhli mne. Zpuštění na ně, proto že se mi zpronevěřili, ješto jsem já je vykoupil, ale oni mluvili proti mně lži.
Woe to them, for they have withdrawn from me. They will waste away because they have been dishonest with me. And I redeemed them, and they have spoken lies against me.
14 Aniž volají ke mně z srdce svého, když kvílí na ložcích svých, a když pro obilé a mest shromažďujíce se, obracejí se ke mně,
And they have not cried out to me in their heart, but they howled on their beds. They have obsessed about wheat and wine; they have withdrawn from me.
15 Ješto já potrestav, posiloval jsem ramen jejich, ale oni proti mně zlé vymýšlejí.
And I have educated them, and I have reinforced their arms; and they have imagined evil against me.
16 Navracujíť se, ale ne k Nejvyššímu, jsou jako lučiště omylné, padají od meče knížata jejich, od rozhněvání jazyka jejich, což jim ku posměchu jest v zemi Egyptské.
They returned so that they might be without a yoke. They have become like a deceitful bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of the madness of their words. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
