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].
Израиљ је празна лоза винова, оставља род за се; што више рода има, то више умножава олтаре; што му је боља земља, то више кити ликове.
2 They are deceitful; [so] now they are guilty and must be punished. [I], Yahweh, will tear down their altars and smash those pillars.
Срце им је раздељено, зато су криви; Он ће оборити олтаре њихове, поломиће ликове њихове.
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.’
Јер сада говоре: Немамо цара; не бојимо се Господа; и шта би нам учинио цар?
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.
Говоре речи кунући се лажно кад уговарају веру, и суд као отров расте у браздама на њиви мојој.
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.
За јунице вет-авенске уплашиће се становници самаријски; јер ће за њима жалити народ њихов, и свештеници њихови, који им се радоваху, јер ће слава њихова отићи од њих.
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.
И он ће сам бити одведен у Асирску на дар цару браничу; Јефрема ће попасти стид, и Израиљ ће се осрамотити намером својом.
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].
Цара ће самаријског нестати као пене поврх воде.
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]!’
И обориће се висине авенске, грех Израиљев; трње ће и чкаљ расти по олтарима њиховим, и говориће горама: Покријте нас, и хумовима: Падните на нас.
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].
Од времена гавајског грешио си, Израиљу; онде осташе, не стиже их у Гаваји рат на безаконике.
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.
По својој ћу их вољи покарати, и народи ће се скупити на њих да их заробе за двојако безакоње њихово.
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].
Јефрем је јуница научена, која радо врше; али ћу јој доћи на лепи врат; упрегнућу Јефрема, Јуда ће орати, Јаков ће повлачити.
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.
Сејте правду, жећете милост; орите крчевину, јер је време да тражите Господа, да би дошао и подаждио вам правдом.
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.
Орасте безбожност, жесте безакоње, једосте плод од лажи; јер си се поуздао у свој пут, у мноштво својих јунака.
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.
Зато ће се подигнути врева међу твојим народом, и сви ће се градови твоји раскопати као што Салман раскопа Вет-Арвел кад беше рат, мајка би размрскана са синовима.
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].”
Тако ће вам учинити Ветиљ за велику злоћу вашу; зором ће погинути цар Израиљев.
