Hosea 10
1 “Israel was [like a large] healthy/luxuriant vine [MET] that produced [a lot of] grapes. But as the people became richer, they made more altars [at which to worship idols]. As the people prospered, they [built and] decorated sacred pillars [that they worshiped].
Buja szőlőtő az Izráel, a mely termi az ő gyümölcseit. Gyümölcsének sokasága szerint sokasította meg oltárait, földének jósága szerint jó sok oszlopot állított fel.
2 They are deceitful; [so] now they are guilty and must be punished. [I], Yahweh, will tear down their altars and smash those pillars.
Csalárd a szívök; de most meglakolnak! Ő maga töri le oltáraikat; elpusztítja bálványaikat.
3 Then they will say, ‘It is because we did not revere Yahweh that we no [longer] have a king. But [even if we had] a king, he certainly could not [RHQ] do anything to help us.’
Bizony mondják most: Nincsen királyunk, mert nem féljük az Urat, és a király mit segíthet rajtunk?!
4 They falsely promise [that they will do many things]; they solemnly promise and make agreements, but they do not do what they promise. So people accuse and sue [each other in the courts]; they are like [SIM] poisonous weeds [that grow] in a plowed field.
Össze-vissza beszéltek; hamisan esküdtek; szövetséget kötöttek; de mint a bürök a mező barázdáin, úgy sarjadzik ki az ítélet.
5 The people who live in Samaria [city] are worried about [what may happen to the idol that resembles] a calf [that they set up] at Beth-Aven [town]. The people in Samaria will mourn, and the priests there will cry about it [if it is damaged or destroyed]. [Previously] they shouted joyfully about its being very great; but now it will not be great any more.
Beth-Aven borjúi miatt aggódnak Samaria lakói. Bizony megsiratja azt az ő népe, és papjai is remegnek miatta, az ő dicsősége miatt; mert eltávozott az attól.
6 It will be taken to Assyria to be a gift for the great King [of Assyria]. [So the people of] Israel will be disgraced, and they will be ashamed because [they trusted in] that idol.
Azt magát is Assiriába vonszolják ajándékul Járeb királynak. Szégyent vall Efraim, és megszégyenül Izráel az ő tanácsa miatt.
7 The King of Samaria [and the other people in Samaria] will be gone; they will be like [SIM] a twig [that floats away] on the surface of the water [and disappears].
Elveszett Samaria! Az ő királya, mint forgács a víz színén!
8 The altars on the tops of hills [where the people worshiped idols] will be destroyed; those have been the places where the people of Israel sinned greatly. Thorns and weeds will grow and cover those altars. Then the people will plead to the mountains and hills, ‘Fall [down and] cover us [to protect us from God punishing us]!’
És Aven magaslatai, az Izráel vétke, lerontatnak. Tövis és bogácskóró növi be oltáraikat, és mondják majd a hegyeknek: Borítsatok be minket! a halmoknak pedig: Omoljatok reánk!
9 [You people of] Israel, [ever since your ancestors did evil things] at Gibeah, you have continued to sin. [When the people at] [PRS] Gibeah [did evil things], the result was a war [in which thousands of people died].
Gibea napjaitól fogva vétkezél, oh Izráel! Ott maradtak; nem érte őket Gibeában a harcz a gonoszság fiai ellen.
10 [So now], when I want to, I will punish the Israeli people. Because of the many sins that they have committed, [the armies of other] nations will gather to attack them, and they will cause the Israeli people to become their slaves.
Megfenyítem hát őket kedvemre! Népek gyülekeznek ellenök, a mikor megkötöztetnek kettős gazságukért.
11 Israel is [like] [MET] a well-trained (heifer/young cow) that likes to thresh [grain]. [So now you will become slaves]. [It will be as though] I will put a yoke on your neck, and you will be forced to work hard for your enemies in their fields. [You people of] Israel and Judah [will be forced to go to Assyria]; there you [DOU] will pull plows to break up the ground [for planting seeds].
Efraim szoktatott üsző, a mely szeret nyomtatni; de én rámegyek az ő szép nyakára: igába fogom Efraimot; Júda szántani fog, Jákób boronál néki.
12 [You plow your fields and plant your seeds] and harvest [your crops] [MET], [but what you need to do is] to act righteously and to faithfully love [me]; you need to repent [MET], because it is time to try to know [me], Yahweh; and if you do that, I will pour out [MET] many blessings on you.
Vessetek magatoknak igazságra; arassatok kegyelem szerint! Szántsatok magatoknak új szántást; mert ideje keresnetek az Urat, mígnem eljő, hogy igazság esőjét adjon néktek.
13 You [plant seeds and harvest the crops and eat them]; [but what I consider that you have really done is] that you have planted wicked things and harvested evil things and eaten [MET] the results [IDM] of the lies [that you have told]. [Instead of trusting in me, ] you have (depended on/trusted in) your own power and in your many soldiers.
Istentelenséget szántottatok, álnokságot arattatok. Eszitek a hazugság gyümölcsét, mert bíztál a te utadban és vitézeidnek sokaságában!
14 As a result, you will [soon] hear the roar of battle, and all your cities that have walls around them will be destroyed, like [SIM] Shalman’s [army] destroyed Beth-Arbel [city] in a battle, and the women [in that city] and their children were bashed to death.
Azért zendülés támad a te néped között, és minden te erősséged elpusztíttatik, a miképen elpusztította Salman Beth-Arbelt a harcznak napján; az anya gyermekeivel együtt földhöz veretik.
15 [You people of] [APO] Bethel [city], that is what will happen to you, because you are very wicked. And when the sun rises [on that day], the King of Israel will be killed [in the battle].”
Így cselekszik veletek Beth-El, a ti nagy gonoszságtokért; hajnalra bizony elvész Izráel királya!
