Hosea 7
1 “When I give healing to Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have worked falsehood, And a thief comes in, A troop has stripped off in the street,
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 do not say to their heart, [That] I have remembered all their evil, Now their doings have surrounded them, They have been 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 With their wickedness they make a king glad, And with their lies—princes.
Kralja razveseljujejo s svojo zlobnostjo in prince s svojimi lažmi.
4 All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceases from stirring up after kneading the dough, until its leavening.
Vsi so zakonolomci, kakor peč, ki jo segreje pek, ki preneha kuriti, potem ko je pregnetel testo, dokler to ni vzhajano.
5 A day of our king! Princes have defiled themselves [with] the poison of wine, He has drawn 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 drawn near, Their heart [is] as an oven In their lying in wait—their baker sleeps all night, Morning! He is burning 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 All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling to Me among them.
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 mixes himself among peoples, Ephraim has been an unturned cake.
Efrájim se je pomešal med ljudstvo, Efrájim je neobrnjen kolač.
9 Strangers have devoured his power, And he has not known, Also old age has sprinkled [itself] on him, And he has not known.
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 excellence of Israel has been humbled to his face, And they have not turned back to their God YHWH, Nor have they sought 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 And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on—[to] Asshur they have gone.
Tudi Efrájim je podoben neumni golobici brez srca; kličejo k Egiptu, hodijo v Asirijo.
12 When they go I spread over them My net, As the bird of the heavens I bring them down, I discipline them as their congregation has 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 to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I ransom them, and 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 have not cried to Me with their heart, but howl on their beds; They assemble themselves for grain and new wine, They turn aside 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 And I instructed—I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
Čeprav sem utrdil in okrepil njihove lakte, so zoper mene še vedno domišljali vragolijo.
16 They turn back—not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Their princes fall by sword, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] 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.
