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 cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth 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 wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
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 wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Kralja razveseljujejo s svojo zlobnostjo in prince s svojimi lažmi.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
Vsi so zakonolomci, kakor peč, ki jo segreje pek, ki preneha kuriti, potem ko je pregnetel testo, dokler to ni vzhajano.
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with the poison of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
Na dan našega kralja so ga princi naredili bolnega z vinskimi mehovi; svojo roko podaja s posmehljivci.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming 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 hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto 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, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Efrájim se je pomešal med ljudstvo, Efrájim je neobrnjen kolač.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon 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 do not return to Yhwh their God, nor seek 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 silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Tudi Efrájim je podoben neumni golobici brez srca; kličejo k Egiptu, hodijo v Asirijo.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise 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 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies 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 have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and wine, and they rebel 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 have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
Čeprav sem utrdil in okrepil njihove lakte, so zoper mene še vedno domišljali vragolijo.
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.
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.
