Hosea 10
1 Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.
Izrael je prazna trta, sebi prinaša sad. Glede na množico svojega sadu je množil oltarje. Glede na dobroto njegove dežele so naredili čedne podobe.
2 Their mind is taken away; now they will be made waste: he will have their altars broken down, he will give their pillars to destruction.
Njihovo srce je razdeljeno, sedaj bodo najdeni pomanjkljivi. Zrušil bo njihove oltarje, oplenil njihove podobe.
3 Now, truly, they will say, We have no king, we have no fear of the Lord; and the king, what is he able to do for us?
Kajti sedaj bodo rekli: ›Nimamo kralja, ker se nismo bali Gospoda. Kaj naj bi nam torej storil kralj?‹
4 Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.
Govorili so besede, lažno prisegali pri sklepanju zaveze. Tako sodba poganja kakor pikasti mišjak na brazdah polja.
5 The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight.
Prebivalci Samarije bodo trepetali zaradi telet Bet Avena, kajti ljudstvo le-teh bo nad tem žalovalo in duhovniki le-teh, ki so se ob tem veselili, [bodo trepetali] zaradi slave [bogov zlatih telet], zato ker je ta odšla od njih.
6 And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.
Prav tako bo le-to odneseno v Asirijo za darilo kralju Jarebu. Efrájim bo prejel sramoto in Izrael se bo sramoval svojega lastnega nasveta.
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off, like mist on the water.
Glede Samarije, njen kralj je odsekan kakor pena na vodi.
8 And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.
Prav tako bodo uničeni visoki kraji Avena, Izraelov greh. Trnje in osat bosta pognala na njihovih oltarjih in goram bodo rekli: »Pokrijte nas« in hribom: »Padite na nas.«
9 O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah.
Oh Izrael, grešil si od dni Gíbee. Tam so stali, bitka v Gíbei zoper otroke krivičnosti jih ni dosegla.
10 I will come and give them punishment; and the peoples will come together against them when I give them the reward of their two sins.
Po moji želji je, da naj jih kaznujem, in ljudstvo se bo zbralo zoper njih, ko se bodo zvezali v svojih dveh brazdah.
11 And Ephraim is a trained cow, taking pleasure in crushing the grain; but I have put a yoke on her fair neck; I will put a horseman on the back of Ephraim; Judah will be working the plough, Jacob will be turning up the earth.
Efrájim je kakor telica, ki je poučena in rada mendra žito, toda jaz sem šel čez njen lepi vrat. Efrájima bom pripravil, da jaha, Juda bo oral, Jakob pa bo branal.
12 Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.
Sejte si v pravičnosti, žanjite v usmiljenju, pobranajte svoja neposejana tla, kajti čas je, da iščete Gospoda, dokler ne pride in na vas dežuje pravičnost.
13 You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.
Orali ste zlobnost, želi ste krivičnost, jedli ste sad laži, ker ste zaupali v svojo pot in v množico svojih mogočnih mož.
14 So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.
Zato bo med tvojim ljudstvom vstal nemir in vse tvoje trdnjave bodo oplenjene, kakor je na dan bitke Šalmán oplenil Bet Arbeél. Mati je bila raztreščena na koščke na svojih otrocih.
15 So will Beth-el do to you because of your evil-doing; at dawn will the king of Israel be cut off completely.
Tako vam bo storil Betel zaradi vaše velike zlobnosti. Zjutraj bo Izraelov kralj popolnoma iztrebljen.
