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.
Кад лечим Израиља, тада се показује безакоње Јефремово и злоћа самаријска; јер чине лаж, и лупеж улази, и напољу удара чета.
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].
И не говоре у срцу свом да ја памтим свако безакоње њихово; сада стоје око њих дела њихова, преда мном су.
3 Their king is delighted with the wicked things that the people do; his officials are happy about the people’s lies.
Неваљалством својим веселе цара и лажима својим кнезове.
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.
Сви чине прељубу; као пећ су коју ужари хлебар, који престане стражити кад замеси тесто па докле ускисне.
5 The king and his officials get very drunk during their festivals, carousing with others who also do foolish things.
На дан цара нашег разболеше се кнезови од меха вина, и он пружи руку своју подсмевачима.
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.
Јер на заседе своје управљају срце своје, које је као пећ; хлебар њихов спава целу ноћ, ујутру гори као пламен огњени.
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].”
Сви су као пећ угрејани и прождиру своје судије; сви цареви њихови падају, ниједан између њих не виче к мени.
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.
Јефрем се помешао с народима; Јефрем је погача непреврнута.
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.
Иностранци једу му силу, а он не зна; седе косе попадају га, а он не зна.
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.
И поноситост Израиљева сведочи му у очи, али се не враћају ка Господу Богу свом нити Га траже уза све то.
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.
И Јефрем је као голуб, луд, безуман; зову Мисир, иду у Асирску.
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.
Кад отиду, разапећу на њих мрежу своју, као птице небеске свући ћу их, караћу их како је казивано у збору њиховом.
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.
Тешко њима, јер зађоше од мене; погибао ће им бити, јер ме изневерише; ја их искупих, а они говорише на ме лаж.
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.
Нити ме призиваше из срца свог, него ридаше на одрима својим; жита и вина ради скупљајући се одступају од мене.
15 I trained/taught them and enabled them to become strong, but now they plan [to do] evil things to me.
Кад их карах, укрепих им мишице; али они мислише зло на ме.
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.”
Враћају се, али не ка Вишњем, посташе као лук лажљив; кнезови ће њихови попадати од мача с обести језика свог; то ће им бити подсмех у земљи мисирској.
