Hosea 10
1 Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. According to the goodness of their land they have made goodly pillars.
Bujna je loza bio Izrael, rod bogat ona je nosila. I što mu je više rodilo plodova, to je više umnažao žrtvenike; što mu je bogatija zemlja bila, to je kićenije dizao stupove.
2 Their heart is divided. Now they shall be found guilty. He will smite their altars. He will destroy their pillars.
Srce je njihovo prijevarno, okajat će to oni! Porušit će im On žrtvenike, polomiti stupove njihove.
3 Surely now they shall say, We have no king, for we fear not Jehovah. And the king, what can he do for us?
Kazat će tada: “Mi kralja nemamo jer se Jahve bojali nismo. TÓa čemu bi nam bio kralj?”
4 They speak vain words, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Riječi prosiplju, lažno se kunu, sklapaju saveze; a pravo cvate k'o otrovno bilje u brazdama polja.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven. For the people of it shall mourn over it, and the priests of it, who rejoiced over it for the glory of it, because it has departed from it.
Za tele betavensko strepe stanovnici Samarije; da, zbog njega tuguje narod njegov, svećenici njegovi kukaju nad njim, nad slavom njegovom jer je od njega prognana.
6 It shall also be carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
A njega samog odvući će u Asiriju na dar velikome kralju. Efrajima stid će spopasti, crvenjet će se Izrael zbog svoje odluke.
7 As for Samaria, its king is cut off, as foam upon the water.
Uništena je Samarija. Njen kralj tek trunak je vodi na površju.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars, and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall on us.
Bit će razorene sramne uzvišice, grijeh Izraelov; trnje će i čičak rasti po žrtvenicima njihovim. Tad će govoriti brdima: “Pokrijte nas!” i bregovima: “Padnite na nas!”
9 O Israel, thou have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood. The battle against the sons of iniquity does not overtake them in Gibeah.
Većma no u dane gibejske griješio si, Izraele! A da se i ondje zaustaviše, ne bi li ih zatekao rat kao bezakonike gibejske?
10 When it is my desire, I will chastise them. And the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.
Kako mi se svidi, kaznit ću ih: sabrat će se protiv njih narodi da ih za dvostruko kazne bezakonje.
11 And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loves to tread out the grain. But I have passed over upon her fair neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah shall plow. Jacob shall break his clods.
Efrajim je junica dobro naučena koja rado vrše; šiju ću joj lijepu ujarmiti, upregnut ću Efrajima. Juda će orati, Jakov branat'.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness. Reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he comes and rains righteousness upon you.
Sijte pravednost, požet ćete ljubav; krčite zemlje nove: vrijeme je da Jahvu tražite dok ne dođe i podaždi vam pravdom.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness. Ye have reaped iniquity. Ye have eaten the fruit of lies. For thou trusted in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Orali ste bezbožnost, želi bezakonje, jeli plod prijevare. Pouzdao si se u kola svoja i u mnoštvo svojih ratnika,
14 Therefore a tumult shall arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle; the mother was dashed in pieces with her sons.
zato će se vika bojna razlijegati tvojim gradovima i sve će ti tvrđe biti razorene k'o što Šalman razori Bet Arbel u dan ratni, kada mater smrskaše na sinovima.
15 So shall Bethel do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.
Evo što vam Betel učini jer ste u zlu ogrezli: u zoru će zavijek nestati kralja Izraelova!
