Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel for ioy as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God: thou hast loued a rewarde vpon euery corne floore.
Ne veseli se, oh Izrael, zaradi radosti kakor drugo ljudstvo, kajti šel si vlačugarsko od svojega Boga, ljubil si nagrado na vsakem žitnem mlatišču.
2 The floore, and the wine presse shall not feede them, and the newe wine shall faile in her.
Mlatišče in vinska stiskalnica jih ne bosta hranila in novo vino se bo pokvarilo v njej.
3 They wil not dwel in the Lordes lande, but Ephraim will returne to Egypt, and they will eate vncleane things in Asshur.
Ne bodo prebivali v Gospodovi deželi, temveč se bo Efrájim vrnil v Egipt in v Asiriji bodo jedli nečiste stvari.
4 They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasant vnto him: but they shall be vnto them as the bread of mourners: al that eate thereof, shalbe polluted: for their bread for their soules shall not come into the house of the Lord.
Ne bodo več darovali vinskih daritev Gospodu niti mu ne bodo ugajale. Njihove klavne daritve jim bodo kakor kruh žalovalcev. Vsi, ki bodo jedli od njih, bodo oskrunjeni, kajti njihov kruh, za njihovo dušo, ne bo prišel v Gospodovo hišo.
5 What wil ye do then in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
Kaj boste storili na slovesen dan in na dan Gospodovega praznika?
6 For loe, they are gone from destruction: but Egypt shall gather them vp, and Memphis shall burie them: the nettle shall possesse the pleasant places of their siluer, and the thorne shall be in their tabernacles.
Kajti glej, odšli so zaradi uničenja. Egipt jih bo zbral, Memfis jih bo pokopal. Prijetne kraje za njihovo srebro bodo imele koprive v lasti, trnje bo v njihovih šotorskih svetiščih.
7 The daies of visitation are come: the daies of recompence are come: Israel shall knowe it: the Prophet is a foole: the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquitie: therefore the hatred is great.
Prišli so dnevi obiskanja, prišli so dnevi povračila, Izrael bo to vedel. Prerok je bedak, duhoven človek je zmešan zaradi množice tvoje krivičnosti in velikega sovraštva.
8 The watchman of Ephraim shoulde bee with my God: but the Prophet is the snare of a fouler in all his waies, and hatred in the House of his God.
Efrájimov stražar je bil z mojim Bogom, toda prerok je ptičarjeva zanka na vseh njegovih poteh in sovraštvo v hiši njegovega Boga.
9 They are deepely set: they are corrupt as in the daies of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes.
Globoko so se izpridili, kakor v dneh Gíbee, zato se bo spomnil njihove krivičnosti, obiskal bo njihove grehe.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wildernes: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the figge tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according to their louers.
»Izraela sem našel podobnega trtam v divjini. Vaše očete sem videl kakor prvi sad na figovem drevesu ob njegovem prvem času, toda odšli so k Báal Peórju in se oddvojili v to sramoto in njihove ogabnosti so bile glede na to, kar so ljubili.
11 Ephraim their glorie shall flee away like a birde: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception.
Glede Efrájima, njihova slava bo odletela proč kakor ptica, od poroda in od maternice in od spočetja.
12 Though they bring vp their children, yet I will depriue them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.
Čeprav bodo vzredili svoje otroke, jih bom vendar oropal, da tam noben človek ne bo ostal. Da, gorje tudi tistim, ko odidem od njih!
13 Ephraim, as I sawe, is as a tree in Tyrus planted in a cottage: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murtherer.
Efrájim je, kakor sem videl Tir, zasajen na prijetnem kraju, toda Efrájim bo svoje otroke privedel k morilcu.«
14 O Lord, giue them: what wilt thou giue them? giue them a baren wombe and drie breasts.
Daj jim, oh Gospod. Kaj hočeš dati? Daj jim maternico, ki splavlja in suhe prsi.
15 All their wickednesse is in Gilgal: for there doe I hate them: for the wickednesse of their inuentions, I will cast them out of mine House: I will loue them no more: all their princes are rebels.
»Vsa njihova zlobnost je v Gilgálu, kajti tam sem jih zasovražil. Zaradi zlobnosti njihovih početij jih bom pognal iz svoje hiše. Ne bom jih več ljubil. Vsi njihovi princi so puntarji.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried vp: they can bring no fruite: yea, though they bring foorth, yet will I slaie euen the dearest of their bodie.
Efrájim je udarjen, njihova korenina je posušena, nobenega sadu ne bodo obrodili. Da, čeprav bodo obrodili, bom vendar ubil celó ljubljeni sad njihove maternice.«
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not obey him: and they shall wander among the nations.
Moj Bog jih bo zavrgel, ker mu niso prisluhnili in oni bodo postopači med narodi.
