Hosea 13
1 [Previously], when [the leaders of] Israel spoke, the people trembled; those leaders were highly respected by the Israeli people. But the people sinned greatly by [worshiping] Baal, so now they will be killed [by their enemies].
Кад Јефрем говораше, беше страх; беше се узвисио у Израиљу; али се огреши о Вала, те умре.
2 Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves [and coat the idols] with their silver. Those idols are statues that are very cleverly made, but those statues are made by [mere] humans. But [the people are told], “Kiss those idols [that resemble a] calf, and offer sacrifices to them!”
И сада једнако греше и граде себи лијући од сребра свог по разуму свом ликове, који су сви дело уметничко, а они говоре за њих: Људи који приносе жртве нека целују теоце.
3 Therefore, those people will [disappear quickly] like [SIM] the morning mist or the dew that lies [on the ground] early [in the morning]; [they will disappear] like [SIM] chaff that is blown away from where [the wheat] is threshed, like [SIM] smoke that goes out of a chimney.
Зато ће бити као облак јутарњи и као роса која у зору падне, па је нестане, као плева, коју односи ветар с гумна, и као дим из димњака.
4 But [Yahweh says to his people], “I am Yahweh, your God, [the one who brought your ancestors] out of Egypt. You must believe that only I am God and that there is no other God, and that there is no one else who can save you!
А ја сам Господ Бог твој од земље мисирске, и Бога осим мене ниси познао, и осим мене нема ко би спасао.
5 I took care of your [ancestors when they were] in the desert, where it was extremely [hot and] dry.
Ја те познах у пустињи, у земљи засушеној.
6 When I provided food for them, their [stomachs] were full, and they were satisfied. But then they became proud and they forgot [about] me, [and you are like your ancestors]!
Имајући добру пашу беху сити; али чим се наситише, понесе се срце њихово, зато ме заборавише.
7 So I will attack you like [SIM] a lion [attacks other animals]; I will be like [SIM] a leopard that waits beside the road [to attack another animal].
Зато ћу им бити као лав, као рис вребаћу их на путу.
8 Like [SIM] a female bear attacks anyone that steals her cubs, I will attack you Israelis and rip you open. I will completely destroy you like [SIM] lions or [other] wild animals tear apart the animals that they catch and devour them.
Срешћу их као медведица којој узму медведиће, и растргаћу им све срце њихово и изјешћу их онде као лав; зверје пољско раскинуће их.
9 [You people of] Israel, you will be destroyed because you oppose me, the only one who (can help/helps) you.
Пропао си, Израиљу; али ти је помоћ у мени.
10 You have a king; (why is he [unable to save you]?/but he is [unable to save you].) [RHQ] You have [RHQ] rulers in all your towns, but they are not helping you, [either]. Your [ancestors] said, ‘Appoint for us a king and [other] leaders [to rule over us] [like the other nations have]!’
Где ти је цар? Где је? Нека те сачува у свим градовима твојим; где ли су судије твоје, за које си говорио: Дај ми цара и кнезове?
11 I was angry with them [for requesting that], but I appointed a king [to rule over] them. But [later] I became very angry with them [again], so I took their king away.
Дадох ти цара у гневу свом, и узех га у јарости својој.
12 [I have written on a scroll] a record of the sins that have been committed by you people of Israel, and I have stored away that record.
Свезано је безакоње Јефремово, остављен је грех његов.
13 You people are not wise; and now [you are helpless]. You are like [MET] a woman who is having birth pains but who is unable to give birth to the baby.
Болови као у породиље спопашће га, син је неразуман, јер не би толико времена остао у утроби.
14 I certainly will not [RHQ] save you from being killed and from going to the place where the dead people are. I will [RHQ] cause you to be afflicted by plagues and to die and be buried in graves. I will not be merciful [to you]. (Sheol h7585)
Од гроба ћу их избавити, од смрти ћу их сачувати; где је, смрти, помор твој, где је, гробе, погибао твоја? Кајање ће бити сакривено од очију мојих. (Sheol h7585)
15 Even if you people of Israel prosper more than the nearby nations do, [the army of Assyria] will come [like] [MET] an east wind that blows from the desert; the springs and wells in Israel will become dry; and [your enemies] will take away all your valuable possessions.
Родан ће бити међу браћом својом; али ће доћи источни ветар, ветар Господњи, који иде од пустиње, и усахнуће му извор, и студенац ће му засушити; он ће однети благо од свих драгих заклада.
16 [You people of] Samaria must be punished because you have rebelled against [me], your God. You will be killed by [your enemies’] swords; your little children will be [killed by being] dashed/thrown to the ground; the [bellies of] women [among you] will be ripped open.”
Самарија ће опустети, јер се одметну од Бога свог; они ће пасти од мача, деца ће се њихова размрскати и трудне жене њихове распорити.
