Hosea 13
1 “When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but he became guilty because of Baal worship, and he died.
Kad Jefrem govoraše, bješe strah; bješe se uzvisio u Izrailju; ali se ogriješi o Vala, te umrije.
2 Now they sin more and more. They make cast metal figures from their silver, idols as skillfully worked as possible, all of them the work of the craftsmen. People say of them, 'These men who sacrifice kiss calves.'
I sada jednako griješe i grade sebi lijuæi od srebra svojega po razumu svojemu likove, koji su svi djelo umjetnièko, a oni govore za njih: ljudi koji prinose žrtve neka cjeluju teoce.
3 So they will be like the morning clouds, like the dew that goes away early, like the chaff that is driven by the wind away from a threshing floor, and like smoke out of a chimney.
Zato æe biti kao oblak jutarnji i kao rosa koja u zoru padne, pa je nestane, kao pljeva, koju odnosi vjetar s gumna, i kao dim iz dimnjaka.
4 But I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt. You must acknowledge no God but me; you must acknowledge that besides me, there is no other savior.
A ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje Misirske, i Boga osim mene nijesi poznao, i osim mene nema ko bi spasao.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great dryness.
Ja te poznah u pustinji, u zemlji zasušenoj.
6 When you had pasture, then you became full; and when you were filled, your heart became lifted up. For that reason you forgot me.
Imajuæi dobru pašu bijahu siti; ali èim se nasitiše, ponese se srce njihovo, zato me zaboraviše.
7 I will become like a lion to them; like a leopard I will watch along the path.
Zato æu im biti kao lav, kao ris vrebaæu ih na putu.
8 I will attack them as a bear that is robbed of her cubs. I will rip open their chests, and there I will devour them as a lion, as a wild beast would tear them to pieces.
Srešæu ih kao medvjedica kojoj uzmu medvjediæe, i rastrgaæu im sve srce njihovo i izješæu ih ondje kao lav; zvijerje poljsko raskinuæe ih.
9 I will destroy you, Israel; who will be able to help you?
Propao si, Izrailju; ali ti je pomoæ u meni.
10 Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities? Where are your rulers, about whom you said to me, 'Give me a king and princes'?
Gdje ti je car? gdje je? neka te saèuva u svijem gradovima tvojim; gdje li su sudije tvoje, za koje si govorio: daj mi cara i knezove?
11 I gave you a king in my anger, and I took him away in my wrath.
Dadoh ti cara u gnjevu svom, i uzeh ga u jarosti svojoj.
12 Ephraim's iniquity has been stored up; his guilt has been stored up.
Svezano je bezakonje Jefremovo, ostavljen je grijeh njegov.
13 Pains of childbirth will come on him, but he is an unwise son, for when it is time to be born, he does not come out of the womb.
Bolovi kao u porodilje spopašæe ga, sin je nerazuman, jer ne bi toliko vremena ostao u utrobi.
14 Will I rescue them from the hand of Sheol? Will I rescue them from death? Where, death, are your plagues? Where, Sheol, is your destruction? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.” (Sheol h7585)
Od groba æu ih izbaviti, od smrti æu ih saèuvati; gdje je, smrti, pomor tvoj? gdje je, grobe, pogibao tvoja? kajanje æe biti sakriveno od oèiju mojih. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though Ephraim is prosperous among his brothers, an east wind will come; the wind of Yahweh will blow in from the wilderness. Ephraim's spring will dry up, and his well will have no water. His enemy will plunder his storehouse of every precious object.
Rodan æe biti meðu braæom svojom; ali æe doæi istoèni vjetar, vjetar Gospodnji, koji ide od pustinje, i usahnuæe mu izvor, i studenac æe mu zasušiti; on æe odnijeti blago od svijeh dragih zaklada.
16 Samaria will be guilty, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword; their young children will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.
Samarija æe opustjeti, jer se odmetnu od Boga svojega; oni æe pasti od maèa, djeca æe se njihova razmrskati i trudne žene njihove rasporiti.
