Hosea 5
1 “Listen, you priests! And you [other] Israeli people, you also pay attention! And you who are members of the king’s family, [you also need to] listen, because [I am going to] judge you! Your [worshiping idols] has been [like] [MET] a trap for [the people at] Mizpah [town]; it has been [like][MET] a net spread out [to catch people] at Tabor [Mountain].
Poslušajte ovo, svećenici, pazi, dome Izraelov, dome kraljev, de posluhni, jer vaš je sud! Vi ste bili zamka u Mispi i mreža napeta na Taboru.
2 You have done many evil things, so I will punish all of you.
Jamu su duboko iskopali prestupnici, ali ću ih sve kazniti.
3 I know [everything about the people of] Israel; nothing that they have done is hidden from me. Because [the people of] Israel have given themselves [to worshiping idols] like [MET] prostitutes [give themselves to the men they sleep with], they have become unacceptable to me.
Poznajem ja Efrajima, Izrael mi nije sakriven: da, Efrajime, bludu si se odao, okaljao si se, Izraele.
4 Because they [like to do evil] things, they will not return to [me], their God. Like prostitutes [who have abandoned their husbands] [MET], they have [IDM] abandoned [MET] me; they do not [even] know me, Yahweh.
Ne daju im djela njihova da se Bogu svome vrate, jer je duh bluda među njima; oni Jahve ne poznaju.
5 [It is as though] their being proud testifies [PRS] against them. The sins that [the people of] Israel have committed [are like a heavy load that] causes them to stumble, and [the people of] Judah stumble with them.
Ponos Izraelov svjedoči protiv njega; svojom krivnjom posrnu Efrajim, posrnut će i Juda s njim.
6 They will come to worship [me], Yahweh, bringing their herds of sheep and cattle, but they will not [be able to] find me, because I have abandoned them.
Ići će s ovcama i govedima Jahvu tražiti ali ga naći neće - povukao se od njih!
7 They have abandoned me; and their children do not belong to me [MET]. So [they will not be able to celebrate their festivals at] the new moons [because I] will destroy them and [the crops in] their fields.
Jahvu su iznevjerili: rodili su kopilad; vjetar će žarki proždrijeti polja njihova.
8 Blow the [rams’] horns in Gibeah [town] [and blow] the trumpets in Ramah [town]! Warn [the people at] Beth-Aven [town]; you warriors of the tribe of Benjamin, lead the troops [into the battle].
Zasvirajte u rog u Gibeji, u trublju u Rami, uzbunite Bet Aven: za petama su ti, Benjamine!
9 Israel will be ruined on the day that [I] destroy them. What I am telling to the tribes of Israel will certainly [happen].
Opustošit će Efrajima u dan kazne: među plemenima Izraelovim objavljujem ono što je sasvim pouzdano.
10 [Because] the leaders of Judah [seized some land that belonged to Israel], they are like [SIM] those who move boundary markers [to get more land for themselves]; [so] I will punish them severely [MET].
Knezovi judejski postadoše poput onih što razmiču međe; na njih ću k'o vodu gnjev svoj izliti.
11 And [the people of] Israel will suffer greatly when I punish them, because they are [very] determined to worship idols.
Efrajim je tlačitelj, on pravdu gazi jer mu se svidjelo ići za ništavilom.
12 I will destroy [the people of] Israel like [SIM] ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches) destroy wool, and I will cause [the people of] Judah to be like [SIM] rotten wood.
A ja ću biti poput moljca Efrajimu, kao gnjilež kući Judinoj.
13 When [the leaders of] Israel and Judah saw that the people were suffering because of what [their enemies were doing to them] [MET], they sent [messages] to the great King of Assyria requesting [his help]. But he cannot help you; he cannot cause you to stop suffering, [because I am the one who is punishing Israel and Judah].
Tad je Efrajim svoju bolest vidio, a Juda ranu svoju; i pođe Efrajim u Asiriju, obrati se Juda velikome kralju; al' on vas neće iscijeliti niti vam ranu vašu zaliječiti.
14 I will become like [SIM] a lion [DOU] to both nations; I will [attack them and] tear them to pieces. I will drag them away, and no one will [be able to] rescue them.
Jer k'o lav ću biti Efrajimu, kao lavić domu Judinu; ja, ja ću razderati i otići, odnijet ću i nitko neće spasiti.
15 [After that], I will return to my place [in heaven] until they admit that they have sinned [MTY] and return to me; when they will experience [many] troubles, they will request me [to help them].”
Poći ću, vratit ću se na svoje mjesto, dok krivnju ne priznaju i lice moje ne potraže; kad u nevolji budu, iskat će me.
