Hosea 7
1 “and when I wanted to heal them [again], [I did not do it, ] [because] I saw the wicked things that [the people of] Samaria [city] and [other places in] Israel [DOU] have done. They constantly deceive others; bandits rob people in the streets.
A mint gyógyítgattam Izraélt, megnyilvánult Efraim bűne, meg Sómrón gonoszságai, mert hazugságot míveltek; tolvaj jön be, csapat portyázik künn.
2 But they do not realize that I do not forget all the evil things that they do. [It is as though] they are surrounded by [all] the sins that they commit; and [it is though] those sins are [always right] in front of me [MTY].
De hogy mondják: ők szívüknek: minden gonoszságukról megemlékezem; most körülvették őket cselekedeteik: színem ellőtt vannak.
3 Their king is delighted with the wicked things that the people do; his officials are happy about the people’s lies.
Gonoszságukkal megörvendeztetik a királyt és hazudozásaikkal a nagyokat.
4 [The king and his officials] are all treacherous. [They are always eager to do wicked things; ] they are like [SIM] an oven that is [very] hot: a baker mixes the dough and waits for it to expand, and he does not [need to] cause the oven to become hotter.
Mindannyian házasságtörők, mint kemencze, melyet befűt a sütő; fölhagy a szítással, a tészta dagasztásával, annak megkeléséig.
5 The king and his officials get very drunk during their festivals, carousing with others who also do foolish things.
Királyunk napján megbetegedtek a nagyok a bor hevétől; összejátszott a csúfolókkal.
6 The officials angrily plan to murder the king; it is like [SIM] they have an oven in their inner beings. All during the night their [eagerness/wanting to murder the king] is like a fire that is smouldering, but in the morning it becomes like [MET] a roaring fire.
Mert közelítették, mint a kemenczét, szívüket lestükben; egész éjszaka alszik a sütőjük, reggelre ég az, mint lángoló tűz.
7 All those officials are like [MET] hot flames that completely burn up their rulers, so all their kings are murdered, and no one pleads with me [to help them].”
Mindannyian hevülnek, mint a kemencze, és megemésztik a bíráikat; királyaik mind elestek, nincs közülük senki, ki engem szólítana.
8 “[The leaders of] Israel join with leaders of [godless] nations; so [the leaders of] Israel are [as worthless as] a pancake that is cooked on only one side.
Efraim a népek között elkeverődik; Efraim meg nem fordított lepény lett.
9 Joining with the rulers of foreign nations has caused Israel to be a weak [nation], but the Israelis do not realize that. Israel has become [like] [MET] a gray-haired old man, but the people of Israel do not realize it.
Idegenek emésztették erejét, s ő nem tudta; ősz haj is hintődött reá, s ő nem tudta.
10 Their being proud [PRS] testifies against them, but in spite of that, they do not return to [me], Yahweh, their God, or [even] try to know me.
Vallani fog tehát Izraél gőgje az ő arczába; s nem tértek meg az Örökkévalóhoz, az ő Istenükhöz s nem keresték őt mindemellett.
11 [The people of] Israel have become foolish and stupid like [SIM] doves. [First] they called out to Egypt [to help them], [and then] they sought help from Assyria.
Olyan lett Efraim, mint együgyű, oktalan galamb: Egyiptomot hívták, Assúrba mentek.
12 But wherever they go [to get help], [I will not allow them to succeed]; [it will be as though] [MET] I will throw a net over them like [SIM] [a hunter uses a net to capture] birds; I will punish them for the evil things that they do.
A min mennek, kiterítem ellenük hálómat, mint az ég madarát leszállítom őket; megfenyítem őket, a községükhöz jutott hír szerint.
13 Terrible things will happen to them because they abandoned/deserted me! They will be destroyed because they rebelled against me. I wanted to rescue them, but they tell lies about me.
Jaj nekik, mert elköltöztek tőlem, pusztítás rájuk, mert elpártoltak tőlem! Én ugyan megváltanám őket, de ők hazugságokat beszéltek felőlem.
14 They do not cry out to me sincerely [IDM]; they [only] lie on their beds and wail. They gather together and ask [me to give them] grain and wine, but they turn away from me.
És nem kiáltottak hozzám szívükben, hanem jajgatnak fekvőhelyeiken; gabona és must miatt összecsődülnek, elszakadnak tőlem.
15 I trained/taught them and enabled them to become strong, but now they plan [to do] evil things to me.
Pedig én neveltem őket, megerősítettem karjaikat, mégis ellenem rosszat gondolnak.
16 They have rejected me, their Great God, and turned to their god Baal; they are [as useless] as [SIM] a crooked bow. Their leaders boast [that they are very strong], but they will be killed by [their enemies’] swords. As a result, [the people of] Egypt will laugh at them.”
Fordulnak – nem fölfelé, olyanok lettek, mind a csalárd íjj; kard által esnek el nagyjaik, nyelvük haragvása miatt ez a csúfságuk Egyiptom országában.
