Hosea 9
1 “Do not rejoice, O Israel, do not be joyful like the peoples, For you have gone whoring from your God, You have loved a wage near all floors of grain.
Ne raduj se, Izrailju, veseleæi se kao narodi, što se kurvaš otstupivši od Boga svojega, miluješ platu kurvarsku po svijem gumnima žitnijem.
2 Floor and winepress do not feed them, And new wine fails in her,
Gumno i kaca neæe ih hraniti, i mast æe ih prevariti.
3 They do not abide in the land of YHWH, And Ephraim has turned back [to] Egypt, And they eat an unclean thing in Asshur.
Oni neæe nastavati u zemlji Gospodnjoj; nego æe se vratiti Jefrem u Misir, i oni æe jesti neèistotu u Asirskoj.
4 They do not pour out wine to YHWH, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It does not come into the house of YHWH.
Neæe prinositi Gospodu vina, niti æe mu biti ugodne žrtve njihove, nego æe im biti kao hljeb onijeh koji tuže, ko ga god jede oskvrniæe se, jer im je hljeb za žrtve njihove, neæe uæi u dom Gospodnji.
5 What do you do at the day appointed? And at the day of YHWH’s festival?
Šta æete èiniti na dan svetkovine i na dan praznika Gospodnjega?
6 For behold, they have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathers them, Moph buries them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them—a thorn [is] in their tents.
Jer gle, otiæi æe pustošenja radi; Misir æe ih pribrati, Memfis æe ih pogrepsti; zaklade njihove od srebra naslijediæe kopriva, trnje æe im biti u šatorima.
7 The days of inspection have come in, The days of repayment have come in, Israel knows! The prophet [is] a fool, Mad [is] the man of the spirit, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.
Doðoše dani pohoðenju, doðoše dani plaæanju; poznaæe Izrailj; proroci su ludi, bezumni su u kojima je duh, za mnoštvo bezakonja tvojega i veliku mržnju.
8 Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! A snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] in the house of his God.
Stražar je Jefremov s Bogom mojim, prorok je zamka ptièarska po svijem putovima njegovijem, mržnja je u domu Boga njegova.
9 They have gone deep—have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He remembers their iniquity, He inspects their sins.
Duboko su se pokvarili kao u vrijeme Gavajsko; opomenuæe se bezakonja njihova, i pohodiæe grijehe njihove.
10 As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They have gone in [to] Ba‘al-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And have become abominable like their love.
Naðoh Izrailja kao grožðe u pustinji; vidjeh oce vaše kao prve smokve na drvetu u poèetku njegovu; oni otidoše k Velfegoru, i odvojiše se za sramotom, i postaše gadni kako im bješe milo.
11 Ephraim [is] as a bird, their glory flies away, without birth, and without womb, and without conception.
Jefremova æe slava odletjeti kao ptica od roðenja i od utrobe i od zaèetka.
12 For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless—without man, Surely also, woe to them when I turn aside from them.
Ako li i othrani sinove svoje, ja æu ih uèiniti da budu bez djece, da ne ostane nijedan; i teško njima kad otstupim od njih.
13 Ephraim! When I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out his sons to a slayer.
Jefrem, kad ga gledah, bješe kao Tir, posaðen na ljupku mjestu; ali æe Jefrem izvesti krvniku sinove svoje.
14 Give to them, YHWH—what do You give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
Podaj im, Gospode; šta æeš im dati? podaj im utrobu pometljivu i dojke usahle.
15 All their evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I drive them, I no longer love them, All their heads [are] apostates.
Sva je zloæa njihova u Galgalu; zato ondje mrzim na njih; za zloæu djela njihovijeh izagnaæu ih iz doma svojega; neæu ih više ljubiti: svi su knezovi njihovi odmetnici.
16 Ephraim has been struck, Their root has dried up, they do not yield fruit, Indeed, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired of their womb.
Udaren bi Jefrem; korijen im posahnu, neæe roditi roda; ako i rode, ubiæu mili porod utrobe njihove.
17 My God rejects them, Because they have not listened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!”
Odbaciæe ih Bog moj, jer ga ne slušaju, i skitaæe se po narodima.
