Hosea 13
1 While Ephraim was speaking, a horror entered Israel, and he offended by Baal, and he died.
Kad je Efrajim govorio, strah je zadavao, jer bijaše on prvak u Izraelu, al' ogriješi se Baalom i poginu.
2 And now they add that they will be sinning more. And they have made themselves an image cast from their silver, just like the image of idols; but the whole thing has been made by craftsmen. These say to them, “Sacrifice men, you who adore calves.”
I sad još griješe oni od srebra praveć' sebi kipove, kumire po svojoj mašti; svi su oni djelo rukotvorca! Tima - vele - žrtvujte, ljudi neka cjelivaju teoce!
3 For this reason, they will be like the morning clouds, and like the morning dew that passes away, just like the dust that is driven by a whirlwind away from the threshing floor, and like the smoke from a chimney.
Zato, bit će oni kao oblak jutarnji, kao rosa koje brzo nestaje, kao pljeva raznesena s gumna, kao dim što kroz otvor izlazi.
4 But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, and you will not know God apart from me, and there is no Savior except me.
A ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj sve od zemlje egipatske: drugog Boga osim mene ne ljubi! Osim mene nema spasitelja.
5 I knew you in the desert, in the land of solitude.
Ja te ljubljah u pustinji, u zemlji suhoj.
6 According to their pastures, they have been filled up and have been satisfied. And they have lifted up their heart, and they have forgotten me.
Ja ih pasoh, i siti bijahu; nasićenima srce se uzoholi; i tako me zaboraviše.
7 And I will be to them like a lioness, like a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
Stoga ću im biti kao lav, kao leopard što na putu vreba;
8 I will run to meet them like a bear that has been robbed of her young, and I will split open the middle of their liver. And I will devour them there like a lion; the beast of the field will tear them apart.
kao medvjedica kojoj ugrabiše mlade, ja ću se na njih baciti, rastrgat' im grudi do srca; k'o lav ću proždrijeti meso njihovo, zvijeri će ih poljske rastrgati.
9 Perdition is yours, Israel. Your help is only in me.
Uništit ću te, Izraele, i tko će ti pomoći?
10 Where is your king? Now, especially, let him save you in all your cities, and from your judges, about whom you said, “Give me kings and princes.”
TÓa gdje ti je kralj da te spasi, gdje tvoji knezovi da te brane - oni za koje si govorio: “Daj mi kralja i knezove!”
11 I will give you a king in my wrath, and I will take him away in my indignation.
U gnjevu svom kralja ti dadoh i u srdžbi ti ga uzimam.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim has been bound; his sin has been engulfed.
Dobro se čuva bezakonje Efrajimovo, grijeh je njegov dobro pohranjen.
13 The pains of giving birth will reach him. He is an unwise son. For now he will not remain firm during the contrition of his sons.
Dođoše na nj trudovi porodiljski, ali on je ludo čedo, ne izlazi na vrijeme iz utrobe materine!
14 I will free them from the hand of death; from death I will redeem them. Death, I will be your death. Hell, I will be your deadly wound. Consolation is hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Ja ću ih izbaviti od vlasti Podzemlja, od smrti ću ih spasiti! Gdje je tvoja kuga, o smrti, gdje pomor tvoj, Podzemlje! Samilost se sakri od mojih očiju! (Sheol h7585)
15 For he will make a division among brothers. The Lord will bring a burning wind, rising up from the desert, and it will dry up his streams, and it will make his fountain desolate, and he will tear apart every collection of desirable useful things.
Tako je rodan među braćom Efrajim, ali će doći vjetar istočni, vjetar Jahvin iz pustinje: isušit će mu izvore, presahnuti studence, opljačkat mu riznicu, blago odnijeti.
16 Let Samaria perish, because she has urged her God towards bitterness. Let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be thrown down, and let their pregnant women be cut in two.
Ispaštat će Samarija jer se protiv Boga svoga pobunila. Od mača past će oni, djecu će njihovu smrskati, žene trudne rasporiti.
