Hosea 9
1 REJOICE not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
Ne raduj se, Izraele, ne kliči k'o drugi narodi; bludu se oda, jer, ostavivši Boga svoga, zavolio si plaću bludničku po svim gumnima žitnim.
2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
Ni gumno ni kaca neće ih hraniti, i mlado će ih vino prevariti.
3 They shall not dwell in the Lord’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
Neće više živjeti u zemlji Jahvinoj, Efrajim će se vratiti u Egipat i nečista će jela jesti u Asuru.
4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the Lord.
Neće više Jahvi lijevati vina, nit' će mu prinositi žrtve svoje; kruh će im biti kao kruh žalosti, i nečist će biti tko ga bude jeo; jer njihov je kruh samo za njih, neće ući u Dom Jahvin.
5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
Što ćete činiti na dan blagdanski, na dan svetkovine Jahvine?
6 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
Jer, evo gdje odoše pred pustošenjem; prihvatit će ih Egipat, sahraniti Memfis, srebrna im blaga kopriva će baštiniti, šatore će njihove obrasti trnje.
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
Dođoše dani kazne! Dođoše dani odmazde! Nek' znade Izrael! Lud je prorok, nadahnuti bunca! Zbog velikog bezakonja tvoga i silnog buntovništva.
8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
Efrajim uhodi šator prorokov, stavljaju mu zamke po svim putovima, odmazda je u kući Boga njegova.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
U duboku su pali pokvarenost kao u dane Gibeje; spomenut će se Jahve bezakonja njihova i grijehe će njihove kazniti.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
Kao grožđe u pustinji nađoh ja Izraela, kao rani plod na smokvi vidjeh oce vaše; oni dođoše u Baal Peor, posvetiše se sramoti i postadoše grozote kao ljubimci njihovi.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Odletje poput ptice slava Efrajimova: od rođenja, od utrobe, od začeća.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Ako i podignu svoje sinove, oduzet ću ih prije dobi muževne, da, teško njima kada ih ostavim!
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
Efrajim je k'o da gledam Tir na njivi posađen, al' će Efrajim djecu svoju voditi na klanje.
14 Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Daj im, o Jahve! A što da im dadeš? Daj im krilo jalovo, dojke usahle.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
U Gilgalu sva je njihova zloća, ondje sam ih zamrzio. Zbog njihovih djela opakih iz kuće svoje ću ih izagnati, voljeti ih više neću, svi su im knezovi odmetnici.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
Pogođen je Efrajim, korijen mu je usahnuo; roda neće imati. Ako im se i rodi djece, ubit ću im mili plod utrobe.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Odbacit će ih Bog moj jer ga nisu poslušali; i potucat će se među narodima.
