Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel. But he incurred guilt through Baal, and he died.
Kad je Efrajim govorio, strah je zadavao, jer bijaše on prvak u Izraelu, al' ogriješi se Baalom i poginu.
2 Now they sin more and more and make for themselves cast images, idols skillfully made from their silver, all of them the work of craftsmen. People say of them, “They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves!”
I sad još griješe oni od srebra praveć' sebi kipove, kumire po svojoj mašti; svi su oni djelo rukotvorca! Tima - vele - žrtvujte, ljudi neka cjelivaju teoce!
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes, like chaff blown from a threshing floor, like smoke through an open window.
Zato, bit će oni kao oblak jutarnji, kao rosa koje brzo nestaje, kao pljeva raznesena s gumna, kao dim što kroz otvor izlazi.
4 Yet I am the LORD your God ever since the land of Egypt; you know no God but Me, for there is no Savior besides Me.
A ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj sve od zemlje egipatske: drugog Boga osim mene ne ljubi! Osim mene nema spasitelja.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought.
Ja te ljubljah u pustinji, u zemlji suhoj.
6 When they had pasture, they became satisfied; when they were satisfied, their hearts became proud, and as a result they forgot Me.
Ja ih pasoh, i siti bijahu; nasićenima srce se uzoholi; i tako me zaboraviše.
7 So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
Stoga ću im biti kao lav, kao leopard što na putu vreba;
8 Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lion, like a wild beast would tear them apart.
kao medvjedica kojoj ugrabiše mlade, ja ću se na njih baciti, rastrgat' im grudi do srca; k'o lav ću proždrijeti meso njihovo, zvijeri će ih poljske rastrgati.
9 You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper.
Uništit ću te, Izraele, i tko će ti pomoći?
10 Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?
TÓa gdje ti je kralj da te spasi, gdje tvoji knezovi da te brane - oni za koje si govorio: “Daj mi kralja i knezove!”
11 So in My anger I gave you a king, and in My wrath I took him away.
U gnjevu svom kralja ti dadoh i u srdžbi ti ga uzimam.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is stored up.
Dobro se čuva bezakonje Efrajimovo, grijeh je njegov dobro pohranjen.
13 Labor pains come upon him, but he is an unwise son. When the time arrives, he fails to present himself at the opening of the womb.
Dođoše na nj trudovi porodiljski, ali on je ludo čedo, ne izlazi na vrijeme iz utrobe materine!
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from Death. Where, O Death, are your plagues? Where, O Sheol, is your sting? Compassion is hidden from My eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Ja ću ih izbaviti od vlasti Podzemlja, od smrti ću ih spasiti! Gdje je tvoja kuga, o smrti, gdje pomor tvoj, Podzemlje! Samilost se sakri od mojih očiju! (Sheol h7585)
15 Although he flourishes among his brothers, an east wind will come— a wind from the LORD rising up from the desert. His fountain will fail, and his spring will run dry. The wind will plunder his treasury of every precious article.
Tako je rodan među braćom Efrajim, ali će doći vjetar istočni, vjetar Jahvin iz pustinje: isušit će mu izvore, presahnuti studence, opljačkat mu riznicu, blago odnijeti.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
Ispaštat će Samarija jer se protiv Boga svoga pobunila. Od mača past će oni, djecu će njihovu smrskati, žene trudne rasporiti.
