Hosea 9
1 Do not rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
Ne veseli se, oh Izrael, zaradi radosti kakor drugo ljudstvo, kajti šel si vlačugarsko od svojega Boga, ljubil si nagrado na vsakem žitnem mlatišču.
2 The threshing floor and the winepress won't feed them, and the new wine will fail her.
Mlatišče in vinska stiskalnica jih ne bosta hranila in novo vino se bo pokvarilo v njej.
3 They won't dwell in YHWH's land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
Ne bodo prebivali v Gospodovi deželi, temveč se bo Efrájim vrnil v Egipt in v Asiriji bodo jedli nečiste stvari.
4 They won't pour out wine offerings to YHWH, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of YHWH.
Ne bodo več darovali vinskih daritev Gospodu niti mu ne bodo ugajale. Njihove klavne daritve jim bodo kakor kruh žalovalcev. Vsi, ki bodo jedli od njih, bodo oskrunjeni, kajti njihov kruh, za njihovo dušo, ne bo prišel v Gospodovo hišo.
5 What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of YHWH?
Kaj boste storili na slovesen dan in na dan Gospodovega praznika?
6 For, look, they have gone away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.
Kajti glej, odšli so zaradi uničenja. Egipt jih bo zbral, Memfis jih bo pokopal. Prijetne kraje za njihovo srebro bodo imele koprive v lasti, trnje bo v njihovih šotorskih svetiščih.
7 The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Let Israel know. The prophet is a fool, and the man of the spirit is mad, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.
Prišli so dnevi obiskanja, prišli so dnevi povračila, Izrael bo to vedel. Prerok je bedak, duhoven človek je zmešan zaradi množice tvoje krivičnosti in velikega sovraštva.
8 A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler's snare is on all of his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.
Efrájimov stražar je bil z mojim Bogom, toda prerok je ptičarjeva zanka na vseh njegovih poteh in sovraštvo v hiši njegovega Boga.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for their sins.
Globoko so se izpridili, kakor v dneh Gíbee, zato se bo spomnil njihove krivičnosti, obiskal bo njihove grehe.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
»Izraela sem našel podobnega trtam v divjini. Vaše očete sem videl kakor prvi sad na figovem drevesu ob njegovem prvem času, toda odšli so k Báal Peórju in se oddvojili v to sramoto in njihove ogabnosti so bile glede na to, kar so ljubili.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, none with child, and no conception.
Glede Efrájima, njihova slava bo odletela proč kakor ptica, od poroda in od maternice in od spočetja.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them.
Čeprav bodo vzredili svoje otroke, jih bom vendar oropal, da tam noben človek ne bo ostal. Da, gorje tudi tistim, ko odidem od njih!
13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.
Efrájim je, kakor sem videl Tir, zasajen na prijetnem kraju, toda Efrájim bo svoje otroke privedel k morilcu.«
14 Give them? YHWH what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Daj jim, oh Gospod. Kaj hočeš dati? Daj jim maternico, ki splavlja in suhe prsi.
15 "All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more. All their rulers are rebels.
»Vsa njihova zlobnost je v Gilgálu, kajti tam sem jih zasovražil. Zaradi zlobnosti njihovih početij jih bom pognal iz svoje hiše. Ne bom jih več ljubil. Vsi njihovi princi so puntarji.
16 Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb."
Efrájim je udarjen, njihova korenina je posušena, nobenega sadu ne bodo obrodili. Da, čeprav bodo obrodili, bom vendar ubil celó ljubljeni sad njihove maternice.«
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
Moj Bog jih bo zavrgel, ker mu niso prisluhnili in oni bodo postopači med narodi.
