Hosea 12
1 Ephraim is fed with the winde, and followeth after the East winde: hee increaseth daily lies and destruction, and they do make a couenant with Asshur, and oyle is caried into Egypt.
Efrajim pase vjetar, za vjetrom istočnim trči cio dan, sve više je laži njegovih i nasilja. Savez sklapaju s Asirijom, ulje nose u Egipat.
2 The Lord hath also a controuersie with Iudah, and will visite Iaakob, according to his waies: according to his workes, wil he recompence him.
S Izraelom ima Jahve parnicu, kaznit će Jakova prema postupcima, vratit će mu po djelima njegovim.
3 Hee tooke his brother by the heele in the wombe, and by his strength he had power with God,
Već u krilu materinu brata je potisnuo, u snazi muževnoj s Bogom se borio.
4 And had power ouer the Angel, and preuailed: he wept and praied vnto him: he founde him in Beth-el, and there he spake with vs.
S Anđelom se borio i nadvladao ga, plakao je i zaklinjao ga. Našao ga je u Betelu i ondje mu je govorio.
5 Yea, the Lord God of hostes, the Lord is himselfe his memoriall.
Da, Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, Jahve je ime njegovo.
6 Therefore turne thou to thy God: keepe mercy and iudgement, and hope still in thy God.
Ti se dakle Bogu svojem vrati, čuvaj ljubav i pravednost i u Boga se svoga uzdaj svagda!
7 He is Canaan: the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loueth to oppresse.
U ruci je Kanaanu kriva tezulja, on voli zakidati.
8 And Ephraim saide, Notwithstanding I am rich, I haue found me out riches in all my labours: they shall finde none iniquitie in me, that were wickednesse.
I reče Efrajim: “Samo sam se obogatio, blago sam nagomilao.” Ali ništa mu od sveg dobitka neće ostati, jer se ogriješio bezakonjima.
9 Though I am the Lord thy God, from the land of Egypt, yet will I make thee to dwel in the tabernacles, as in the daies of the solemne feast.
Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, sve od zemlje egipatske, još ću ti dati da stanuješ pod šatorima kao u dane Sastanka;
10 I haue also spoken by the Prophets, and I haue multiplied visions, and vsed similitudes by the ministerie of the Prophets.
govorit ću prorocima, umnožit ću viđenja i po prorocima prispodobom učiti.
11 Is there iniquitie in Gilead? surely they are vanitie: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal, and their altars are as heapes in the furrowes of the field.
Gilead je puko bezakonje, ispraznost sama; u Gilgali žrtvuju bikove; zato će im oltari biti k'o hrpe kamenja u brazdama poljskim.
12 And Iaakob fled into the countrey of Aram, and Israel serued for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheepe.
Jakov pobježe u kraj aramski, za ženu služaše Izrael, za ženu jednu stada čuvaše.
13 And by a Prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a Prophet was he reserued.
Al' po Proroku izvede Jahve Izraela iz Egipta, i po Proroku on ga je čuvao.
14 But Ephraim prouoked him with hie places: therefore shall his blood be powred vpon him, and his reproche shall his Lord reward him.
Pregorko ga Efrajim uvrijedi: stoga će krv njegovu na nj svaliti, platit će mu Gospod njegov za pogrde.
