Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feeds on wind and follows burning heat; all day long he multiplies lies and desolation. And he has entered into a pact with the Assyrians, and he has carried oil into Egypt.
Jefrem se hrani vjetrom, i ide za ustokom; svaki dan množi laž i pogibao; i hvataju vjeru s Asircem i nose ulje u Misir.
2 Therefore, the judgment of the Lord is with Judah and a visitation is upon Jacob. He will repay him according to his ways and according to his inventions.
I s Judom ima Gospod parbu i pohodiæe Jakova prema putovima njegovijem, platiæe mu po djelima njegovijem.
3 In the womb, he supplanted his brother; for in his good fortune, he had been guided by an angel.
U utrobi uhvati za petu brata svojega, i u sili svojoj bori se s Bogom;
4 And he prevailed over an angel, for he had been strengthened. He wept and petitioned him. He found him in Bethel, and there he has spoken to us.
Bori se s anðelom, i nadjaèa; plaka, i moli mu se; naðe ga u Vetilju, i ondje govori s nama.
5 And the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
Ali je Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Gospod mu je spomen.
6 And so, you should convert to your God. Keep mercy and judgment, and have hope in your God always.
Ti dakle obrati se k Bogu svojemu, èuvaj milost i pravdu, i uzdaj se vazda u Boga svojega.
7 Canaan, in his hand is a deceitful balance, he has chosen false accusations.
Trgovac je Jefrem, u ruci su mu mjerila lažna, milo mu je da èini krivo.
8 And Ephraim has said, “Nevertheless, I have become rich; I have found an idol for myself. All of my labors will not reveal to me the iniquity that I have committed.”
I govori Jefrem: baš se obogatih, stekoh blago, ni u kom trudu mom neæe mi naæi nepravde koja bi bila grijeh.
9 And I, the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, nevertheless will cause you to dwell in tabernacles, just as during the days of the feast.
A ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje Misirske, još æu ti dati da sjediš u šatorima kao o praznicima.
10 And I have spoken through the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used parables through the hands of the prophets.
I govoriæu preko proroka, i umnožiæu utvare, i davaæu prièu preko proroka.
11 If Gilead is an idol, then they have been sacrificing cattle in Gilgal to no purpose. For even their altars are like clutter on the soil of the field.
Doista je Galad bezakonje, postaše sama taština; u Galgalu prinose junce na žrtvu, i oltari su im kao gomile kamenja po brazdama na njivi mojoj.
12 Jacob fled into the region of Syria, and Israel served like a wife, and was served by a wife.
I Jakov pobježe u zemlju Sirsku, i Izrailj služi za ženu, i za ženu èuva ovce.
13 Yet by a prophet the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, and he was served by a prophet.
I prorokom izvede Gospod Izrailja iz Misira, i prorokom èuva ga.
14 Ephraim has provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood will overcome him, and his Lord will requite him for his shamefulness.
Jefrem ga ljuto razgnjevi; zato æe ostaviti na njemu krv njegovu, i vratiæe mu sramotu njegovu Gospod njegov.
