Hosea 7
1 When I woulde haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of Samaria: for they haue dealt falsly: and the theefe commeth in, and the robber spoyleth without.
Ko sem hotel ozdraviti Izraela, takrat je bila odkrita krivičnost Efrájima in zlobnost Samarije, kajti zagrešili so neresnico. In tat vstopa in krdelo roparjev pleni zunaj.
2 And they consider not in their hearts, that I remember all their wickednes: now their owne inuentions haue beset them about: they are in my sight.
V svojih srcih pa ne preudarijo, da se spominjam vse njihove zlobnosti. Sedaj so jih njihova lastna dejanja obkrožila; pred mojim obrazom so.
3 They make the King glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies.
Kralja razveseljujejo s svojo zlobnostjo in prince s svojimi lažmi.
4 They are all adulterers, and as a very ouen heated by ye baker, which ceaseth from raysing vp, and from kneading ye dough vntill it be leauened.
Vsi so zakonolomci, kakor peč, ki jo segreje pek, ki preneha kuriti, potem ko je pregnetel testo, dokler to ni vzhajano.
5 This is the day of our King: the princes haue made him sicke with flagons of wine: he stretcheth out his hand to scorners.
Na dan našega kralja so ga princi naredili bolnega z vinskimi mehovi; svojo roko podaja s posmehljivci.
6 For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen whiles they lie in waite: their baker sleepeth all the night: in the morning it burneth as a flame of fire.
Kajti svoje srce so pripravili kakor peč, medtem ko prežijo v zasedi. Njihov pek spi vso noč; zjutraj ta gori kakor plameneč ogenj.
7 They are all hote as an ouen, and haue deuoured their iudges: all their Kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth vnto me.
Vsi so vroči kakor peč in požrli so svoje sodnike; vsi njihovi kralji so padli; tam ni nobenega izmed njih, ki kliče k meni.
8 Ephraim hath mixt himselfe among the people. Ephraim is as a cake on the hearth not turned.
Efrájim se je pomešal med ljudstvo, Efrájim je neobrnjen kolač.
9 Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray heares are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not.
Tujci so požrli njegovo moč, on pa tega ne spoznava. Da, sivi lasje so tu in tam na njem, vendar ne spoznava.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the Lord their God, nor seeke him for all this.
Izraelov ponos pričuje v njegov obraz, oni pa se ne vrnejo h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu niti ga zaradi vsega tega ne iščejo.
11 Ephraim also is like a doue deceiued, without heart: they call to Egypt: they go to Asshur.
Tudi Efrájim je podoben neumni golobici brez srca; kličejo k Egiptu, hodijo v Asirijo.
12 But when they shall go, I will spred my net vpon them, and drawe them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastice them as their congregation hath heard.
Ko bodo šli, bom nadnje razširil svojo mrežo. Sklatil jih bom dol kakor perjad neba, kaznoval jih bom, kakor je slišala njihova skupnost.
13 Wo vnto them: for they haue fled away from me: destruction shalbe vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me: though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lyes against me.
Gorje jim! Kajti zbežali so od mene. Naj jim bo namenjeno uničenje! Ker so se prekršili zoper mene. Čeprav sem jih odkupil, so oni kljub temu zoper mene govorili laži.
14 And they haue not cryed vnto me with their hearts, when they houled vpon their beds: they assembled themselues for corne, and wine, and they rebell against me.
In niso klicali k meni s svojim srcem, ko so tulili na svojih posteljah; zbrali so se zaradi žita in vina in se uprli zoper mene.
15 Though I haue boud and strengthened their arme, yet doe they imagine mischiefe against me.
Čeprav sem utrdil in okrepil njihove lakte, so zoper mene še vedno domišljali vragolijo.
16 They returne, but not to the most high: they are like a deceitfull bowe: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongues: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Vračajo se, toda ne k Najvišjemu; so kot varljiv lok; njihovi princi bodo padli pod mečem zaradi besa njihovega jezika. To bo v njihov posmeh v egiptovski deželi.
