Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house! For this judgment is against you because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor.
Poslušajte to, oh duhovniki in pazljivo prisluhnite, vi, Izraelova hiša in nagnite uho, oh kraljeva hiša, kajti sodba je zoper vas, ker ste bili zanka na Micpi in mreža, razpeta na [gori] Tabor.
2 The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I will chastise them all.
Puntarji so prodorni, da naredijo pokol, čeprav sem bil jaz oštevalec njih vseh.
3 I know all about Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me. For now, O Ephraim, you have turned to prostitution; Israel is defiled.
Poznam Efrájima in Izrael ni skrit pred menoj, kajti sedaj, oh Efrájim, zagrešuješ vlačugarstvo in Izrael je omadeževan.«
4 Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God, for a spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
Svojih ravnanj ne bodo snovali, da bi se obrnili k svojemu Bogu, kajti duh vlačugarstev je v njihovi sredi in niso spoznali Gospoda.
5 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; even Judah stumbles with them.
Izraelov ponos pričuje v njegov obraz, zatorej bosta Izrael in Efrájim padla v svoji krivičnosti. Tudi Juda bo padel z njima.
6 They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.
Šli bodo s svojimi tropi in s svojimi čredami, da bi iskali Gospoda, toda ne bodo ga našli. On se je oddaljil od njih.
7 They have been unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will devour them along with their land.
Zahrbtno so ravnali zoper Gospoda, kajti zaplodili so tuje otroke. Sedaj jih bo požrl mesec z njihovimi deleži.
8 Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth-aven: Lead on, O Benjamin!
Zatrobite na kornét v Gíbei in na trobento v Rami, kričite glasno pri Bet Avenu, za teboj, oh Benjamin.
9 Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.
Efrájim bo zapuščen na dan oštevanja. Med Izraelovimi rodovi sem dal spoznati tisto, kar zagotovo bo.
10 The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary stones; I will pour out My fury upon them like water.
Judovi princi so bili kakor tisti, ki odstranjujejo mejo, zatorej bom nanje izlil svoj bes kakor vodo.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow worthless idols.
Efrájim je zatiran in razklan na sodbi, zato ker je voljan hodil za [človeško] zapovedjo.
12 So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
»Zato bom Efrájimu kakor molj, Judovi hiši pa kakor gniloba.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.
Ko je Efrájim videl svojo slabost in Juda videl svojo rano, takrat je šel Efrájim k Asircu in poslal h kralju Jarebu in vendar vas on ni mogel ozdraviti niti ozdraviti vaše rane.
14 For I am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can rescue them.
Kajti jaz bom Efrájimu kakor lev in kakor mlad lev Judovi hiši. Jaz, celó jaz, bom raztrgal in odšel proč, jaz bom odnesel in nihče ga ne bo rešil.
15 Then I will return to My place until they admit their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
Šel bom in se vrnil na svoj kraj, dokler ne bodo priznali svojega prestopka in iskali mojega obraza. V svoji stiski me bodo zgodaj iskali.«
