Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty in Baal, he died.
Ko je Efrájim trepetajoč govoril, se je povišal v Izraelu, toda ko se je pohujšal z Báalom, je umrl.
2 Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, 'They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.'
In sedaj bolj in bolj grešijo in iz svojega srebra so si naredili ulite podobe in malike, glede na svoje lastno razumevanje. Vsi ti so delo rokodelcev, o njih pravijo: ›Naj možje, ki žrtvujejo, poljubijo teleta.‹
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.
Zatorej bodo kakor jutranji oblak in kakor zgodnja rosa, ki izginja, kakor pleve, ki je z vrtinčastim vetrom odpihnjeno iz mlatišča in kakor dim iz dimnika.
4 "Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
In vendar jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, od egiptovske dežele in razen mene ne boš poznal nobenega boga, kajti poleg mene ni rešitelja.
5 I fed you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Poznal sem te v divjini, v deželi velike suše.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
Glede na njihov pašnik, tako so bili nasičeni; nasičeni so bili in njihovo srce je bilo povzdignjeno, zato so me pozabili.
7 Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
Zatorej jim bom kakor lev, kakor leopard ob poti jih bom opazoval.
8 I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
Srečal jih bom kakor medvedka, ki je oropana svojih mladičev in raztrgal bom opno njihovega srca in tam jih bom požrl kakor lev. Divja žival jih bo trgala.
9 You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your help.
Oh Izrael, uničeval si samega sebe, toda v meni je tvoja pomoč.
10 Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, 'Give me a king and princes?'
Jaz bom tvoj kralj. Kje je katerikoli drug, ki te lahko reši v vseh tvojih mestih? In tvoji sodniki, o katerih praviš: ›Daj mi kralja in prince?‹
11 I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
V svoji jezi sem ti dal kralja in v svojem besu sem ga vzel proč.
12 The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
Krivičnost Efrájima je zvezana, njegov greh je skrit.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son; for when it is time, he doesn't come to the opening of the womb.
Bridkosti ženske v porodnih mukah bodo prišle nadenj. On je nespameten sin, kajti ne bi smel dolgo ostati v odprtini rojevanja otrok.
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. Death, where is your victory? Sheol, where is your sting? "Compassion will be hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Odkupil jih bom pred oblastjo groba; odkupil jih bom pred smrtjo. ›Oh smrt, jaz bom tvoje kuge; ‹ ›Oh grob, jaz bom tvoje uničenje.‹ Kesanje bo skrito mojim očem. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
Čeprav bi bil rodoviten med svojimi brati, bo prišel vzhodni veter, veter od Gospoda bo prišel gor iz divjine in njegov izvir se bo posušil in njegov studenec bo osušen. Oplenil bo zaklad vseh prijetnih posod.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt; for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open."
Samarija bo postala zapuščena, kajti uprla se je zoper svojega Boga. Padli bodo pod mečem, njihovi otročiči bodo razbiti na koščke in njihove nosečnice bodo razparane.
