Hosea 10
1 “Israel [is] an empty vine, He makes fruit like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He has multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made good standing-pillars.
Bujna je loza bio Izrael, rod bogat ona je nosila. I što mu je više rodilo plodova, to je više umnažao žrtvenike; što mu je bogatija zemlja bila, to je kićenije dizao stupove.
2 Their heart has been divided, now they are guilty, He breaks down their altars, He destroys their standing-pillars.
Srce je njihovo prijevarno, okajat će to oni! Porušit će im On žrtvenike, polomiti stupove njihove.
3 For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared YHWH, And the king—what does he do for us?
Kazat će tada: “Mi kralja nemamo jer se Jahve bojali nismo. TÓa čemu bi nam bio kralj?”
4 They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb has judgment, on the furrows of a field.
Riječi prosiplju, lažno se kunu, sklapaju saveze; a pravo cvate k'o otrovno bilje u brazdama polja.
5 For the inhabitants of Samaria fear the calves of Beth-Aven, Surely its people have mourned on account of it, And its priests leap about on account of it, Because of its glory, for it has removed from it,
Za tele betavensko strepe stanovnici Samarije; da, zbog njega tuguje narod njegov, svećenici njegovi kukaju nad njim, nad slavom njegovom jer je od njega prognana.
6 Also, it is carried to Asshur, a present to a warlike king, Ephraim receives shame, And Israel is ashamed of its own counsel.
A njega samog odvući će u Asiriju na dar velikome kralju. Efrajima stid će spopasti, crvenjet će se Izrael zbog svoje odluke.
7 Samaria is cut off! Its king [is] as wrath on the face of the waters.
Uništena je Samarija. Njen kralj tek trunak je vodi na površju.
8 And high places of Aven have been destroyed, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall on us.
Bit će razorene sramne uzvišice, grijeh Izraelov; trnje će i čičak rasti po žrtvenicima njihovim. Tad će govoriti brdima: “Pokrijte nas!” i bregovima: “Padnite na nas!”
9 From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Battle does not overtake them in Gibeah, Because of sons of perverseness.
Većma no u dane gibejske griješio si, Izraele! A da se i ondje zaustaviše, ne bi li ih zatekao rat kao bezakonike gibejske?
10 When I desire, then I bind them, And peoples have gathered against them, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
Kako mi se svidi, kaznit ću ih: sabrat će se protiv njih narodi da ih za dvostruko kazne bezakonje.
11 And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer—loving to thresh, And I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Judah plows, Jacob harrows for him.
Efrajim je junica dobro naučena koja rado vrše; šiju ću joj lijepu ujarmiti, upregnut ću Efrajima. Juda će orati, Jakov branat'.
12 Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek YHWH, Until He comes and shows righteousness to you.
Sijte pravednost, požet ćete ljubav; krčite zemlje nove: vrijeme je da Jahvu tražite dok ne dođe i podaždi vam pravdom.
13 You have plowed wickedness, Perversity you have reaped, You have eaten the fruit of lying, For you have trusted in your way, In the abundance of your might.
Orali ste bezbožnost, želi bezakonje, jeli plod prijevare. Pouzdao si se u kola svoja i u mnoštvo svojih ratnika,
14 And a tumult rises among your people, And all your fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
zato će se vika bojna razlijegati tvojim gradovima i sve će ti tvrđe biti razorene k'o što Šalman razori Bet Arbel u dan ratni, kada mater smrskaše na sinovima.
15 Thus has Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn a king of Israel is utterly cut off!”
Evo što vam Betel učini jer ste u zlu ogrezli: u zoru će zavijek nestati kralja Izraelova!
