Hosea 4
1 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O people of Israel for a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with [the] inhabitants of the land for there not [is] faithfulness and there not [is] covenant loyalty and there not [is] knowledge of God in the land.
Hører Herrens Ord, Israels Børn! thi Herren har en Trætte med dem, som bo i Landet; thi der er ej Sandhed og ej Kærlighed og ej Gudskundskab i Landet;
2 Cursing and deceiving and murdering and stealing and committing adultery people have broken out and blood blood they have touched.
Sværgen og Lyren og Myrden og Stjælen og Bolen! man bryder ind, og Blodskyld rører ved Blodskyld.
3 There-fore - it will dry up the land and he will wither every [one who] dwells in it among [the] animal[s] of the field and among [the] bird[s] of the heavens and also [the] fish of the sea they will be removed.
Derfor sørger Landet, og alt, som bor deri, vansmægter, baade de vilde Dyr paa Marken og Fuglene under Himmelen, ogsaa Fiskene i Havet omkomme.
4 Nevertheless anyone may not he bring a case and may not he reprove anyone and people your [is] like [those who] contend a priest.
Dog skal ingen trætte og ingen revse, da dit Folk er som de, der trætte med en Præst.
5 And you will stumble the day and he will stumble also a prophet with you night and I will destroy mother your.
Derfor skal du falde om Dagen, og Profeten hos dig skal falde om Natten, og jeg vil lade din Moder gaa til Grunde.
6 They have been destroyed people my because not knowledge for you knowledge you have rejected and I will reject you from serving as a priest me and you have forgotten [the] law of God your I will forget children your also I.
Til Grunde gaar mit Folk, fordi det ikke har Kundskab; thi som du har forkastet Kundskab, saa vil ogsaa jeg forkaste dig, at du ikke skal gøre Præstetjeneste for mig; og som du glemte din Guds Lov, vil ogsaa jeg glemme dine Børn.
7 As increased they so they sinned to me glory their for shame I will exchange.
Jo mere de bleve mangfoldige, desto mere syndede de imod mig; deres Ære vil jeg omskifte til Skam.
8 [the] sin of People my they eat and to iniquity their they lift up desire its.
De æde mit Folks Syndofre og længes efter, at det skal forsynde sig.
9 And it will be as the people as the priest and I will visit on him ways his and deeds his I will repay to him.
Derfor skal det gaa Præsten ligesom Folket; og jeg vil hjemsøge ham for hans Veje og betale ham for hans Idrætter.
10 And they will eat and not they will be satisfied they will prostitute themselves and not they will increase for Yahweh they have forsaken to keep.
Og de skulle æde og ikke blive mætte, bedrive Hor og ikke formere sig; thi de have holdt op med at agte paa Herren.
11 Prostitution and wine and new wine it takes away [the] heart.
Horeri og Vin og Most tager Forstanden bort.
12 People my by wood his he enquires and stick his it tells to him for a spirit of prostitution it has misled and they have prostituted themselves from under God their.
Mit Folk adspørger sin Træklods, og dets Kæp giver det Besked; thi en Horeriets Aand har forvildet dem, og de bedrive Hor, saa at de ikke ville staa under deres Gud.
13 On [the] tops of the mountains they sacrifice and on the hills they make smoke under oak and poplar and terebinth for [is] good shade its there-fore they prostitute themselves daughters your and brides your they commit adultery.
De ofre paa Bjergtoppene og gøre Røgoffer paa Højene under Ege og Popler og Terebinther, thi deres Skygge er god; derfor bole eders Døtre, og eders Svigerdøtre bedrive Hor.
14 Not I will visit [judgment] on daughters your if they prostitute themselves and on brides your if they commit adultery for they [masc] with the prostitutes they go apart and with the cult prostitutes they sacrifice and a people [which] not it understands it will be ruined.
Jeg vil ikke hjemsøge eders Døtre, fordi de bole, eller eders Svigerdøtre, fordi de bedrive Hor; thi selv gaa de afsides med Horkvinderne og ofre med Skøgerne; og Folket, som er uforstandigt, gaar til Grunde.
15 Though [are] prostituting yourself you O Israel may not it become guilty Judah and may not you go Gilgal and may not you go up Beth Aven and may not you swear [by] [the] life of Yahweh.
Om du, Israel, end boler, saa gøre dog Juda sig ikke skyldig! kommer ikke til Gilgal, og gaar ikke op til Beth-Aven, og sværger ikke: Saa sandt Herren lever!
16 For like a heifer stubborn it is stubborn Israel now he will pasture them Yahweh like a lamb in roomy place.
Thi Israel er bleven uregerlig som en uregerlig Ko; nu skal Herren lade dem græsse som Lam paa den vide Mark.
17 [is] joined of Idols Ephraim leave alone him.
Efraim er bunden til Afgudsbilleder; lad ham fare!
18 It has come to an end drink their certainly they have prostituted themselves they have loved love shame shields its.
Deres Drikken er skejet ud, Hor have de bedrevet; højt have deres Skjolde elsket Skændsel.
19 It has wrapped a wind it in wings its so they may be ashamed from sacrifices their.
Et Vejr har omspændt dem med sine Vinger, og de skulle blive til Skamme for deres Ofre.
