Hosea 5
1 Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched 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 They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.
Puntarji so prodorni, da naredijo pokol, čeprav sem bil jaz oštevalec njih vseh.
3 I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.
Poznam Efrájima in Izrael ni skrit pred menoj, kajti sedaj, oh Efrájim, zagrešuješ vlačugarstvo in Izrael je omadeževan.«
4 Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of 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 And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.
Izraelov ponos pričuje v njegov obraz, zatorej bosta Izrael in Efrájim padla v svoji krivičnosti. Tudi Juda bo padel z njima.
6 They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.
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 false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
Zahrbtno so ravnali zoper Gospoda, kajti zaplodili so tuje otroke. Sedaj jih bo požrl mesec z njihovimi deleži.
8 Let the horn be sounded in Gibeah and in Ramah; give a loud cry in Beth-aven, They are after you, O Benjamin.
Zatrobite na kornét v Gíbei in na trobento v Rami, kričite glasno pri Bet Avenu, za teboj, oh Benjamin.
9 Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.
Efrájim bo zapuščen na dan oštevanja. Med Izraelovimi rodovi sem dal spoznati tisto, kar zagotovo bo.
10 The rulers of Judah are like those who take away a landmark; I will let loose my wrath on them like flowing water.
Judovi princi so bili kakor tisti, ki odstranjujejo mejo, zatorej bom nanje izlil svoj bes kakor vodo.
11 Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.
Efrájim je zatiran in razklan na sodbi, zato ker je voljan hodil za [človeško] zapovedjo.
12 And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.
»Zato bom Efrájimu kakor molj, Judovi hiši pa kakor gniloba.
13 When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for 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 will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.
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 I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for 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.«
