Hosea 11
1 “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Kad Izrailj bješe dijete, ljubljah ga, i iz Misira dozvah sina svojega.
2 They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to engraved images.
Koliko ih zvaše, toliko oni odlaziše od njih; prinosiše žrtve Valima, kadiše likovima.
3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them by their arms, but they didn’t know that I healed them.
Ja uèih Jefrema hoditi držeæi ga za ruke, ali ne poznaše da sam ih ja lijeèio.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.
Vukoh ih uzicama èovjeèjim, užima ljubavnijem; i bijah im kao oni koji im skidaju jaram s èeljusti, i davah im hranu.
5 “They won’t return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.
Neæe se vratiti u zemlju Misirsku, nego æe mu Asirac biti car, jer se ne htješe obratiti.
6 The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans.
I maè æe stajati u gradovima njegovijem, i potræe prijevornice njegove i proždrijeti za namjere njihove.
7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won’t exalt them.
Narod je moj prionuo za otpad od mene; zovu ga k višnjemu, ali se nijedan ne podiže.
8 “How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.
Kako da te dam, Jefreme? da te predam, Izrailju? kako da uèinim od tebe kao od Adame? da te obratim da budeš kao Sevojim? Ustreptalo je srce moje u meni, uskolebala se utroba moja od žalosti.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God, and not man—the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath.
Neæu izvršiti ljutoga gnjeva svojega, neæu opet zatrti Jefrema; jer sam ja Bog a ne èovjek, svetac usred tebe; neæu doæi na grad.
10 They will walk after the LORD, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
Iæi æe oni za Gospodom; on æe rikati kao lav; kad rikne, sa strahom æe dotrèati sinovi s mora;
11 They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses,” says the LORD.
Sa strahom æe dotrèati iz Misira kao ptica, i kao golub iz zemlje Asirske; i naseliæu ih u kuæama njihovijem, govori Gospod.
12 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
Opkolio me je Jefrem lažju i dom Izrailjev prijevarom; ali Juda još vlada s Bogom i vjeran je sa svetima.
