Hosea 8
1 “Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over the LORD’s house, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
Nastavi šofar k svojim ustom. Prišel bo kakor orel zoper Gospodovo hišo, zato ker so prekršili mojo zavezo in se prekršili zoper mojo postavo.
2 They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’
Izrael bo klical k meni: ›Moj Bog, mi te poznamo.‹
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
Izrael je zavrgel stvar, ki je dobra; sovražnik ga bo zasledoval.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I did not approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
Nastavljali so si kralje, toda ne po meni. Nameščali so si prince, jaz pa tega nisem vedel. Iz svojega srebra in svojega zlata so si delali malike, da bi bili lahko iztrebljeni.
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
Tvoje tele, oh Samarija, te je zavrglo. Moja jeza se je vnela zoper njih. Kako dolgo bo, preden se bodo dokopali do nedolžnosti?
6 For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Kajti tudi to je bilo iz Izraela; delavec ga je naredil, zato to ni Bog, temveč bo tele iz Samarije zlomljeno na koščke.
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
Kajti sejali so veter, želi bodo pa vihar. Ta nima stebla, brst ne obrodi moke. Če bo tako, da obrodi, ga bodo pogoltnili tujci.
8 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
Izrael je požrt; sedaj bodo med pogani kakor posoda, v kateri ni zadovoljstva.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
Kajti šli so gor v Asirijo, osamljen divji osel sam zase. Efrájim si je najel ljubimce.
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
Da, čeprav so najemali med narodi, jih bom sedaj zbral in bodo malce žalovali zaradi bremena kralja princev.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
Ker je Efrájim naredil mnogo oltarjev za greh, bodo oltarji njemu v greh.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law, but they were regarded as a strange thing.
Njemu sem napisal velike stvari iz svoje postave, vendar so bile štete kakor čudna stvar.«
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
Žrtvujejo meso za klavno daritev mojih daritev in ga jedo, toda Gospod jih ne sprejema. Sedaj se bo spomnil njihove krivičnosti in obiskal njihove grehe; vrnili se bodo v Egipt.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
»Kajti Izrael je pozabil svojega Stvarnika in zgradil templje in Juda je pomnožil utrjena mesta, toda na njegova mesta bom poslal ogenj in ta bo požrl njegove palače.
