Hosea 12
1 Ephraim [is] feeding wind and [is] pursuing an east wind all the day falsehood and violence he increases and a covenant with Assyria they are making and oil to Egypt it is carried.
Efrájim se hrani z vetrom in sledi vzhodnemu vetru, dnevno povečuje laži in opustošenje, sklepa zavezo z Asirci in olje nosi v Egipt.
2 And a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with Judah and to visit [judgment] on Jacob according to ways his according to deeds his he will repay to him.
Prav tako ima Gospod polemiko z Judom in kaznoval bo Jakoba glede na njegove poti; poplačal mu bo glede na njegova dejanja.
3 In the womb he took by [the] heel brother his and in manly vigor his he struggled with God.
V maternici je svojega brata prijel za peto in s svojo močjo je imel moč z Bogom.
4 And he struggled against an angel and he prevailed he wept and he sought favor to him Beth-el he found him and there he spoke with us.
Da, imel je moč nad angelom in je prevladal. Jokal je in ponižno prosil k njemu. Našel ga je v Betelu in tam je [Bog] govoril z nami;
5 And Yahweh [the] God of hosts Yahweh [is] memorial his.
celo Gospod Bog nad bojevniki; Gospod je njegov spomenik.
6 And you in God your you will return loyalty and justice keep and wait to God your continually.
Zatorej se obrni k svojemu Bogu, ohranjaj usmiljenje in sodbo in nenehno čakaj na svojega Boga.
7 Canaan [who are] in hand his scales of deceit to defraud he loves.
On je trgovec, v njegovi roki so tehtnice prevare, rad zatira.
8 And he has said Ephraim surely I have become rich I have found wealth for myself all toil my not people will find to me iniquity which [is] sin.
Efrájim je rekel: »Vendar sem postal bogat, pridobil sem si imetje, v vseh mojih naporih ne bodo našli v meni nobene krivičnosti, da bi bila greh.«
9 And I [have been] Yahweh God your from [the] land of Egypt again I will cause to dwell you in tents like [the] days of an appointed feast.
»Jaz pa, ki sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, od egiptovske dežele, te bom vendarle prisilil, da prebivaš v šotorih kakor v dneh slovesnega praznika.
10 And I spoke to the prophets and I vision[s] I multiplied and by [the] hand of the prophets I gave parables.
Prav tako sem govoril po prerokih in množil videnja ter po služenju prerokov uporabljal prilike.
11 [is] Gilead Wickedness surely worthlessness they are in Gilgal bulls they have sacrificed also altars their [are] like heaps of stones on [the] furrows of a field.
Ali je v Gileádu krivičnost? Oni so zagotovo ničevost. V Gilgálu žrtvujejo bikce. Da, njihovi oltarji so kakor kupi na brazdah polj.
12 And he fled Jacob [the] region of Aram and he served Israel for a wife and for a wife he kept [flocks].
Jakob je zbežal v sirsko deželo in Izrael je služil za ženo in za ženo je varoval ovce.
13 And by a prophet he brought up Yahweh Israel from Egypt and by a prophet he was kept.
In po preroku je Gospod Izraela privedel iz Egipta in po preroku je bil obvarovan.
14 He has provoked to anger Ephraim bitterness and blood his on him he will leave and reproach his he will repay to him lord his.
Efrájim ga je silno grenko izzival k jezi, zatorej bo njegovo kri pustil nad njim in njegovo grajo bo njegov Gospod povrnil k njemu.
