Hozeáš 8
1 Přičině k ústům svým troubu, rci: Aj, letí jako orlice na dům Hospodinův, proto že přestoupili smlouvu mou, a proti zákonu mému převráceně činili.
[Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
2 Budouť sic volati: Bože můj, znáť tebe Izrael,
My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
3 Ale opustilť jest Izrael dobré, nepřítel jej stihati bude.
But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
4 Oniť ustanovují krále, ale beze mne; knížata vyzdvihují, k nimž já se neznám; z stříbra i z zlata svého činí sobě modly k svému zkažení.
The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
5 Opustíť je tele tvé, ó Samaří, když se zažhne prchlivost má na ně. Až dokudž nebudou moci ostříhati nevinnosti?
You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
6 Však i ono jest od Izraele, řemeslník je udělal, a neníť Bohem; nebo drtiny budou z toho telete Samařského.
[Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
7 Poněvadž větru rozsívají, takéť vichřici žíti budou; ani stébla žádného míti nebudou; úroda nevydá mouky, a by pak i vydala, cizozemci to sehltí.
[The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
8 Sehlcen bude Izrael, tudíž budou mezi pohany jako nádoba, v níž není žádné líbosti.
[The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
9 Proto že se oni utíkají k Assurovi, oslu divokému, kterýž jest toliko sám svůj, a že Efraim sobě najímá milovníky,
Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
10 A že posílali dary mezi pohany: protož tudíž je zberu i já, anobrž jižť jsou okusili něčeho pro břímě krále knížat.
But although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
11 Nebo vzdělal Efraim mnoho oltářů k hřešení, máť oltáře k hřešení.
Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
12 Vypsal jsem jemu znamenité věci v zákoně svém, ale neváží sobě rovně jako cizí věci.
I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
13 Z obětí darů mých obětují maso a jedí, Hospodin neoblibuje jich. Jižť zpomene na nepravost jejich, a vyhledávati bude hříchy jejich, že se oni do Egypta navracují,
They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in Egypt.
14 A že se zapomenul Izrael na Učinitele svého, a nastavěl chrámů, a Juda vzdělal mnoho měst hrazených. Protož pošli oheň na města jeho, a zžíře paláce jeho.
[The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
