Hosea 10
1 Israel was a luxuriant vine, yielding fruit for himself. The more his fruit increased, the more he increased the altars. The better his land produced, the better he made the sacred pillars.
Izrailj je prazna loza vinova, ostavlja rod za se; što više roda ima, to više umnožava oltare; što mu je bolja zemlja, to više kiti likove.
2 Their hearts are devious; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars and demolish their sacred pillars.
Srce im je razdijeljeno, zato su krivi; on æe oboriti oltare njihove, polomiæe likove njihove.
3 Surely now they will say, “We have no king, for we do not revere the LORD. What can a king do for us?”
Jer sada govore: nemamo cara; ne bojimo se Gospoda; i šta bi nam uèinio car?
4 They speak mere words; with false oaths they make covenants. So judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
Govore rijeèi kunuæi se lažno kad ugovaraju vjeru, i sud kao otrov raste u brazdama na njivi mojoj.
5 The people of Samaria will fear for the calf of Beth-aven. Indeed, its people will mourn with its idolatrous priests— those who rejoiced in its glory— for it has been taken from them into exile.
Za junice Vetavenske uplašiæe se stanovnici Samarijski; jer æe za njima žaliti narod njihov, i sveštenici njihovi, koji im se radovahu, jer æe slava njihova otiæi od njih.
6 Yes, it will be carried to Assyria as tribute to the great king. Ephraim will be seized with shame; Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols.
I on æe sam biti odveden u Asirsku na dar caru branièu; Jefrema æe popasti stid, i Izrailj æe se osramotiti namjerom svojom.
7 Samaria will be carried off with her king like a twig on the surface of the water.
Cara æe Samarijskoga nestati kao pjene povrh vode.
8 The high places of Aven will be destroyed— it is the sin of Israel; thorns and thistles will overgrow their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
I oboriæe se visine Avenske, grijeh Izrailjev; trnje æe i èkalj rasti po oltarima njihovijem, i govoriæe gorama: pokrijte nas, i humovima: padnite na nas.
9 Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, and there you have remained. Did not the battle in Gibeah overtake the sons of iniquity?
Od vremena Gavajskoga griješio si, Izrailju; ondje ostaše, ne stiže ih u Gavaji rat na bezakonike.
10 I will chasten them when I please; nations will be gathered against them to put them in bondage for their double transgression.
Po svojoj æu ih volji pokarati, i narodi æe se skupiti na njih da ih zarobe za dvojako bezakonje njihovo.
11 Ephraim is a well-trained heifer that loves to thresh; but I will place a yoke on her fair neck. I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, and Jacob will break the hard ground.
Jefrem je junica nauèena, koja rado vrše; ali æu joj doæi na lijepi vrat; upregnuæu Jefrema, Juda æe orati, Jakov æe povlaèiti.
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness and reap the fruit of loving devotion; break up your unplowed ground. For it is time to seek the LORD until He comes and sends righteousness upon you like rain.
Sijte pravdu, žeæete milost; orite krèevinu, jer je vrijeme da tražite Gospoda, da bi došao i podaždio vam pravdom.
13 You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your mighty men,
Oraste bezbožnost, žeste bezakonje, jedoste plod od laži; jer si se pouzdao u svoj put, u mnoštvo svojih junaka.
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be demolished as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children.
Zato æe se podignuti vreva meðu tvojim narodom, i svi æe se gradovi tvoji raskopati kao što Salman raskopa Vet-Arvel kad bijaše rat, majka bi razmrskana sa sinovima.
15 Thus it will be done to you, O Bethel, because of your great wickedness. When the day dawns, the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.
Tako æe vam uèiniti Vetilj za veliku zloæu vašu; zorom æe poginuti car Izrailjev.
