Hosea 7
1 when I would heal Israel, then Ephrain’s guilt is revealed, and Samaria’s crimes are seen, how they practise fraud and the thief enters in, while outside bandits plunder.
Kad lijeèim Izrailja, tada se pokazuje bezakonje Jefremovo i zloæa Samarijska; jer èine laž, i lupež ulazi, i napolju udara èeta.
2 But it never crosses their minds that I remember their wickedness. Now their misdeeds surround them, they are always before my face.
I ne govore u srcu svom da ja pamtim svako bezakonje njihovo; sada stoje oko njih djela njihova, preda mnom su.
3 Their wickedness amuses the king, and their lying gladdens the princes,
Nevaljalstvom svojim vesele cara i lažima svojim knezove.
4 since they are all of them adulterers. Their desire to do evil burns like an oven heated by the baker, so hot that he need not stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it rises.
Svi èine preljubu; kao peæ su koju užari hljebar, koji prestane stražiti kad zamijesi tijesto pa dokle uskisne.
5 On our king’s festival day, the princes are flushed with fever from wine. He stretched forth his hand with the contemptuous,
Na dan cara našega razbolješe se knezovi od mijeha vina, i on pruži ruku svoju potsmjevaèima.
6 for like an oven their heart burns with treachery, all night their anger smoulders, in the morning it blazes into a flame of fire.
Jer na zasjede svoje upravljaju srce svoje, koje je kao peæ; hljebar njihov spava cijelu noæ, ujutru gori kao plamen ognjeni.
7 All of them glow like an oven, they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen. There is none among them who calls to me.
Svi su kao peæ ugrijani i proždiru svoje sudije; svi carevi njihovi padaju, nijedan izmeðu njih ne vièe k meni.
8 Ephraim – he lets himself be mixed among the peoples, Ephraim – he has become a cake unturned.
Jefrem se pomiješao s narodima; Jefrem je pogaèa neprevrnuta.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, but he does not know it. His hair is sprinkled with grey, but he does not notice.
Inostranci jedu mu silu, a on ne zna; sijede kose popadaju ga, a on ne zna.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them yet they do not return to the Lord their God, and in all this they do not seek him.
I ponositost Izrailjeva svjedoèi mu u oèi, ali se ne vraæaju ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu niti ga traže uza sve to.
11 Ephraim is like a simple, silly dove: to Egypt they call, after Assyria they go,
I Jefrem je kao golub, lud, bezuman; zovu Misir, idu u Asirsku.
12 wherever they turn I will spread my net over them, like birds of the sky I will bring them down, I will catch them when I hear them gathering.
Kad otidu, razapeæu na njih mrežu svoju, kao ptice nebeske svuæi æu ih, karaæu ih kako je kazivano u zboru njihovu.
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have been untrue to me. Although it was I who redeemed them, they speak lies about me.
Teško njima, jer zaðoše od mene; pogibao æe im biti, jer me iznevjeriše; ja ih iskupih, a oni govoriše na me laž.
14 They have never cried to me with their hearts, but they are always wailing on their beds. They gather to beg for corn and new wine, but they turn away from me.
Niti me prizivaše iz srca svojega, nego ridaše na odrima svojim; žita i vina radi skupljajuæi se otstupaju od mene.
15 Although it was I who trained and strengthened their arms, concerning me they plan only evil.
Kad ih karah, ukrijepih im mišice; ali oni misliše zlo na me.
16 They turn away from the Most High. They have become like a bow that swerves. Their princes will fall by the sword, because of the insolence of their tongues. The land of Egypt will mock them.
Vraæaju se, ali ne k višnjemu, postaše kao luk lažljiv; knezovi æe njihovi popadati od maèa s obijesti jezika svojega; to æe im biti potsmijeh u zemlji Misirskoj.
