Hosea 7
1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoils without.
Kad lijeèim Izrailja, tada se pokazuje bezakonje Jefremovo i zloæa Samarijska; jer èine laž, i lupež ulazi, i napolju udara èeta.
2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
I ne govore u srcu svom da ja pamtim svako bezakonje njihovo; sada stoje oko njih djela njihova, preda mnom su.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Nevaljalstvom svojim vesele cara i lažima svojim knezove.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceases from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
Svi èine preljubu; kao peæ su koju užari hljebar, koji prestane stražiti kad zamijesi tijesto pa dokle uskisne.
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
Na dan cara našega razbolješe se knezovi od mijeha vina, i on pruži ruku svoju potsmjevaèima.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
Jer na zasjede svoje upravljaju srce svoje, koje je kao peæ; hljebar njihov spava cijelu noæ, ujutru gori kao plamen ognjeni.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calls to me.
Svi su kao peæ ugrijani i proždiru svoje sudije; svi carevi njihovi padaju, nijedan izmeðu njih ne vièe k meni.
8 Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Jefrem se pomiješao s narodima; Jefrem je pogaèa neprevrnuta.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knows it not: yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he knows not.
Inostranci jedu mu silu, a on ne zna; sijede kose popadaju ga, a on ne zna.
10 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
I ponositost Izrailjeva svjedoèi mu u oèi, ali se ne vraæaju ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu niti ga traže uza sve to.
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
I Jefrem je kao golub, lud, bezuman; zovu Misir, idu u Asirsku.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net on them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
Kad otidu, razapeæu na njih mrežu svoju, kao ptice nebeske svuæi æu ih, karaæu ih kako je kazivano u zboru njihovu.
13 Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Teško njima, jer zaðoše od mene; pogibao æe im biti, jer me iznevjeriše; ja ih iskupih, a oni govoriše na me laž.
14 And they have not cried to me with their heart, when they howled on their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
Niti me prizivaše iz srca svojega, nego ridaše na odrima svojim; žita i vina radi skupljajuæi se otstupaju od mene.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
Kad ih karah, ukrijepih im mišice; ali oni misliše zlo na me.
16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Vraæaju se, ali ne k višnjemu, postaše kao luk lažljiv; knezovi æe njihovi popadati od maèa s obijesti jezika svojega; to æe im biti potsmijeh u zemlji Misirskoj.
