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.
Izrael je prazna trta, sebi prinaša sad. Glede na množico svojega sadu je množil oltarje. Glede na dobroto njegove dežele so naredili čedne podobe.
2 Their heart has been divided, now they are guilty, He breaks down their altars, He destroys their standing-pillars.
Njihovo srce je razdeljeno, sedaj bodo najdeni pomanjkljivi. Zrušil bo njihove oltarje, oplenil njihove podobe.
3 For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared YHWH, And the king—what does he do for us?
Kajti sedaj bodo rekli: ›Nimamo kralja, ker se nismo bali Gospoda. Kaj naj bi nam torej storil 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.
Govorili so besede, lažno prisegali pri sklepanju zaveze. Tako sodba poganja kakor pikasti mišjak na brazdah 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,
Prebivalci Samarije bodo trepetali zaradi telet Bet Avena, kajti ljudstvo le-teh bo nad tem žalovalo in duhovniki le-teh, ki so se ob tem veselili, [bodo trepetali] zaradi slave [bogov zlatih telet], zato ker je ta odšla od njih.
6 Also, it is carried to Asshur, a present to a warlike king, Ephraim receives shame, And Israel is ashamed of its own counsel.
Prav tako bo le-to odneseno v Asirijo za darilo kralju Jarebu. Efrájim bo prejel sramoto in Izrael se bo sramoval svojega lastnega nasveta.
7 Samaria is cut off! Its king [is] as wrath on the face of the waters.
Glede Samarije, njen kralj je odsekan kakor pena na vodi.
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.
Prav tako bodo uničeni visoki kraji Avena, Izraelov greh. Trnje in osat bosta pognala na njihovih oltarjih in goram bodo rekli: »Pokrijte nas« in hribom: »Padite 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.
Oh Izrael, grešil si od dni Gíbee. Tam so stali, bitka v Gíbei zoper otroke krivičnosti jih ni dosegla.
10 When I desire, then I bind them, And peoples have gathered against them, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
Po moji želji je, da naj jih kaznujem, in ljudstvo se bo zbralo zoper njih, ko se bodo zvezali v svojih dveh brazdah.
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.
Efrájim je kakor telica, ki je poučena in rada mendra žito, toda jaz sem šel čez njen lepi vrat. Efrájima bom pripravil, da jaha, Juda bo oral, Jakob pa bo branal.
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.
Sejte si v pravičnosti, žanjite v usmiljenju, pobranajte svoja neposejana tla, kajti čas je, da iščete Gospoda, dokler ne pride in na vas dežuje pravičnost.
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 zlobnost, želi ste krivičnost, jedli ste sad laži, ker ste zaupali v svojo pot in v množico svojih mogočnih mož.
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 bo med tvojim ljudstvom vstal nemir in vse tvoje trdnjave bodo oplenjene, kakor je na dan bitke Šalmán oplenil Bet Arbeél. Mati je bila raztreščena na koščke na svojih otrocih.
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!”
Tako vam bo storil Betel zaradi vaše velike zlobnosti. Zjutraj bo Izraelov kralj popolnoma iztrebljen.
