Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt.
Ko je bil Izrael otrok, takrat sem ga ljubil in svojega sina poklical iz Egipta.
2 They called them, but they went thus from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to images.
Kakor so jih [preroki] klicali, tako so odhajali od njih. Žrtvovali so Báalom in rezanim podobam zažigali kadilo.
3 I ledde Ephraim also, as one shoulde beare them in his armes: but they knewe not that I healed them.
Tudi Efrájima sem učil hoditi in jih držal za njihove lakte, toda niso spoznali, da sem jih jaz ozdravil.
4 I led them with cordes of a man, euen with bandes of loue, and I was to them, as hee that taketh off the yoke from their iawes, and I laide the meat vnto them.
Pritegoval sem jih s človeškimi vrvicami, z vezmi ljubezni in bil sem jim kakor tisti, ki snamejo jarem z njihovih čeljusti in jaz sem jim dajal hrano.
5 He shall no more returne into the lande of Egypt: but Asshur shalbe his King, because they refused to conuert.
Ne bo se vrnil v egiptovsko deželo, temveč bo Asirec njegov kralj, ker so zavrnili, da bi se vrnili.
6 And the sworde shall fall on his cities, and shall consume his barres, and deuoure them, because of their owne counsels.
Meč bo ostajal na njegovih mestih in použije njegove mladike in jih požre zaradi njihovih lastnih nasvetov.
7 And my people are bent to rebellion against me: though they called them to the most hie, yet none at all would exalt him.
Moje ljudstvo je nagnjeno k odpadu od mene. Čeprav so jih klicali k Najvišjemu, ga sploh nihče ni hotel povišati.
8 Howe shall I giue thee vp, Ephraim? howe shall I deliuer thee, Israel? how shall I make thee, as Admah? howe shall I set thee, as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within mee: my repentings are rouled together.
Kako naj bi se ti odrekel, Efrájim? Kako naj bi te izročil, Izrael? Kako naj bi te naredil kakor Admo? Kako naj bi te postavil kakor Cebojím? Moje srce je spremenjeno znotraj mene, poleg tega so se moja kesanja razvnela.
9 I wil not execute ye fiercenesse of my wrath: I will not returne to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man, the holy one in the middes of thee, and I will not enter into the citie.
Ne bom izvršil okrutnosti svoje jeze, ne bom se vrnil, da uničim Efrájima, kajti jaz sem Bog in ne človek, Sveti v tvoji sredi in ne bom vstopil v mesto.«
10 They shall walke after the Lord: he shall roare like a lyon: when hee shall roare, then the children of the West shall feare.
Hodili bodo za Gospodom, rjovel bo kakor lev. Ko bo zarjovel, potem bodo otroci pritrepetali od zahoda.
11 They shall feare as a sparrow out of Egypt, and as a doue of the lande of Asshur, and I will place them in their houses, sayth the Lord.
Pritrepetali bodo kakor ptica iz Egipta in kakor golobica iz asirske dežele in postavil jih bom v njihove hiše, « govori Gospod.
12 Ephraim copasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Iudah yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the Saints.
»Efrájim me obdaja z lažmi in Izraelova hiša s prevaro, toda Juda še vlada z Bogom in je zvest s svetimi.
