Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel. But he incurred guilt through Baal, and he died.
Kad Jefrem govoraše, bješe strah; bješe se uzvisio u Izrailju; ali se ogriješi o Vala, te umrije.
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 sada jednako griješe i grade sebi lijuæi od srebra svojega po razumu svojemu likove, koji su svi djelo umjetnièko, a oni govore za njih: ljudi koji prinose žrtve neka cjeluju 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 æe biti kao oblak jutarnji i kao rosa koja u zoru padne, pa je nestane, kao pljeva, koju odnosi vjetar s gumna, i kao dim iz dimnjaka.
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 Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje Misirske, i Boga osim mene nijesi poznao, i osim mene nema ko bi spasao.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought.
Ja te poznah u pustinji, u zemlji zasušenoj.
6 When they had pasture, they became satisfied; when they were satisfied, their hearts became proud, and as a result they forgot Me.
Imajuæi dobru pašu bijahu siti; ali èim se nasitiše, ponese se srce njihovo, zato me zaboraviše.
7 So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
Zato æu im biti kao lav, kao ris vrebaæu ih na putu.
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.
Srešæu ih kao medvjedica kojoj uzmu medvjediæe, i rastrgaæu im sve srce njihovo i izješæu ih ondje kao lav; zvijerje poljsko raskinuæe ih.
9 You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper.
Propao si, Izrailju; ali ti je pomoæ u meni.
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”?
Gdje ti je car? gdje je? neka te saèuva u svijem gradovima tvojim; gdje li su sudije tvoje, za koje si govorio: daj mi cara i knezove?
11 So in My anger I gave you a king, and in My wrath I took him away.
Dadoh ti cara u gnjevu svom, i uzeh ga u jarosti svojoj.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is stored up.
Svezano je bezakonje Jefremovo, ostavljen je grijeh njegov.
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.
Bolovi kao u porodilje spopašæe ga, sin je nerazuman, jer ne bi toliko vremena ostao u utrobi.
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)
Od groba æu ih izbaviti, od smrti æu ih saèuvati; gdje je, smrti, pomor tvoj? gdje je, grobe, pogibao tvoja? kajanje æe biti sakriveno od oèiju mojih. (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.
Rodan æe biti meðu braæom svojom; ali æe doæi istoèni vjetar, vjetar Gospodnji, koji ide od pustinje, i usahnuæe mu izvor, i studenac æe mu zasušiti; on æe odnijeti blago od svijeh dragih zaklada.
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.
Samarija æe opustjeti, jer se odmetnu od Boga svojega; oni æe pasti od maèa, djeca æe se njihova razmrskati i trudne žene njihove rasporiti.
