Hosea 4
1 You Israeli people, listen to this message from Yahweh! He is accusing you people who live in this country, [saying] “The people are not faithfully [doing what pleases me], they are not kind [to others], and they do not [even] know me!
Halljátok az Örökkévaló igéjét, Izraél fiai! Mert pöre van az Örökkévalónak az ország lakóival, hogy nincs igazság és nincsen szeretet és nincsen Istennek megismerése az országban.
2 Everywhere in this land they curse [others], they murder [others], they steal, and they commit adultery. They act violently toward others and commit one murder after another.
Esküsznek és hazudnak, gyilkolnak és lopnak és házasságot törnek: erőszakoskodtak és vérontás vérontást ért.
3 It is because of their doing those things that there is no rain [MTY], the land has become dry, the people are mourning, and the people are dying [from hunger]. Even the wild animals and the birds and the fish in the sea are dying.
Azért gyászol az ország és elfonnyad minden benne lakó, a mező vadjával s az ég madarával együtt; a tenger halai is kipusztulnak.
4 But no one should accuse someone else and say it is his fault. It is you priests whom I am accusing.
Ám senki ne pöröljön, és ne feddjen senkit, hisz néped olyan, mint kik pappal pörölnek.
5 So I will punish [MTY] you priests, night and day, and I will punish the prophets with you. I am going to destroy [Israel, the nation that is like] [MET] a mother to you.
Elbotlasz nappal s elbotlik a próféta is veled éjjel – megsemmisítem tehát anyádat.
6 It is because my people do not know [about me] that they will be destroyed. And their not knowing about me is because you priests have refused [to teach them about me]; so I will no longer allow you to be my priests. You have forgotten the things that I taught you, so I will forget [to bless] your children.
Megsemmisült a népem, megismerés híján. Mivel te a megismerést megvetetted, megvetettelek, hogy ne légy papom; elfelejtetted Istenednek tanát, majd elfelejtem én is gyermekeidet.
7 As there are more and more priests, they have sinned against me more and more. So I will no longer allow them to be honored; instead, I will cause them to be disgraced.
A mint sokasodtak, úgy vétkeztek ellenem; dicsőségüket szégyennel váltom föl.
8 The priests get food from [the offerings that the] people [bring in order to be forgiven for having sinned], [so] the priests want the people to sin more and more [in order that the people will bring them more and more offerings].
Népemnek vétkét eszik ők és bűnére vágyódik lelkük.
9 The priests [are as sinful] as the [other] people, and I will punish [all of] them for what they have done; I will pay them back for the [evil] things that they have done.
És olyan lesz a nép, mint a pap: megbüntetem rajta az útjait, és cselekedeteit visszafizetem neki.
10 [The priests] will eat, but they will still be hungry; they will have sex with prostitutes, but they will not have any children, because they have abandoned [me], Yahweh,
Esznek majd, de nem laknak jól; paráználkodnak, de nem szaporodnak, mert elhagyták az Örökkévalót, nem ügyelve reá.
11 and they are devoting themselves to sleeping with prostitutes, and to [drinking] old wine and new wine, which results in their not being able to think clearly.”
Paráználkodás, bor és must elveszi a szívet.
12 “[You] my people request wooden idols [to tell you what you should do]! Like prostitutes who have left/abandoned their husbands,
Népem a fáját kérdezi meg hogy pálczája jelentse neki; mert a paráznaság szelleme megtévesztette, és elparáználkodtak Istenük mellől.
13 you have abandoned [me] your God, and you are chasing after [other gods] on the tops of hills and mountains; you burn incense under oak [trees], poplar [trees], and other trees where there is nice/pleasing shade. So your daughters have become prostitutes, and your daughters-in-law have committed adultery.
A hegyek csúcsain áldoznak és a halmokon füstölögtetnek, tölgyfa, nyárfa és terebinthus alatt, mert jó az árnyéka; azért majd paráználkodnak leányaitok, menyeitek pedig házasságot törnek.
14 But it is not [only] your daughters [whom I will punish] for having become prostitutes, and it is not [only] your daughters-in-law whom I will punish for committing adultery, because the men also are having sex with prostitutes, and they offer sacrifices with the prostitutes [who search for men at the] shrines [of the idols]. [They are all] foolish people, and they will [all] be ruined.
Nem büntetem meg leányaitokat, midőn paráználkodnak, sem a menyeiteket, midőn házasságot törnek, mert ők maguk parázna nőkkel félre mennek és a szentelt nőkkel áldoznak; s a nép, mely nem ért, elbukik.
15 You Israeli [people] have abandoned me like [MET] those who commit adultery have abandoned their spouses. But do not cause [the people of] Judah to sin [also]. Do not go to Gilgal or go up to Beth-Aven [towns] [to worship idols there]. Do not make solemn promises [there, saying ‘Just as surely] as Yahweh lives, [I will do what I am promising].’
Ha parázna vagy te, Izraél, ne essél bűnbe, Jelnúda! Ne menjetek tehát Gilgálba, ne vonuljatok fel Bét-Ávenbe, s ne esküdjetek: él az Örökkévaló!
16 You [people of Israel] are as stubborn as [SIM] a young cow. So there is no way [RHQ] that [I], Yahweh, will [provide food for them] [like a shepherd provides food for his] lambs [by leading them] to a nice meadow.
Mert mint makacskodó tehén makacskodott Izraél: most legeltesse őket az Örökkévaló, mint juhot a tágas téren.
17 The people of Israel have chosen to worship idols [MET], [so] allow them [to do what they want to do].
Bálványokhoz társult Efraim: hagyd magára!
18 When their rulers finish drinking [their wine], they go to find prostitutes; they love their disgraceful behavior.
Elfajult az iszákosságuk, paráználkodva paráználkodnak, szeretve szeretik a szégyent, a kik pajzsai neki.
19 But they will disappear [as though] [MET] they were blown away by a whirlwind. They will become [very] ashamed because of their offering sacrifices [to idols].”
Szél köti be őt a szárnyaiba, s megszégyenülnek áldozásaik miatt.
