Hosea 11
1 Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
Kad Izrailj bješe dijete, ljubljah ga, i iz Misira dozvah sina svojega.
2 They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.
Koliko ih zvaše, toliko oni odlaziše od njih; prinosiše žrtve Valima, kadiše likovima.
3 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
Ja uèih Jefrema hoditi držeæi ga za ruke, ali ne poznaše da sam ih ja lijeèio.
4 With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him — I feed [him].
Vukoh ih uzicama èovjeèjim, užima ljubavnijem; i bijah im kao oni koji im skidaju jaram s èeljusti, i davah im hranu.
5 He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur — he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
Neæe se vratiti u zemlju Misirsku, nego æe mu Asirac biti car, jer se ne htješe obratiti.
6 Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed — from their own counsels.
I maè æe stajati u gradovima njegovijem, i potræe prijevornice njegove i proždrijeti za namjere njihove.
7 And My people are hanging in suspense, about My returning, And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not.
Narod je moj prionuo za otpad od mene; zovu ga k višnjemu, ali se nijedan ne podiže.
8 How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.
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 do not the fierceness of My anger, I turn not back to destroy Ephraim, For God I [am], and not a man. In thy midst the Holy One, and I enter not in enmity,
Neæu izvršiti ljutoga gnjeva svojega, neæu opet zatrti Jefrema; jer sam ja Bog a ne èovjek, svetac usred tebe; neæu doæi na grad.
10 After Jehovah they go — as a lion He roareth, When He doth roar, then tremble do the sons from the west.
Iæi æe oni za Gospodom; on æe rikati kao lav; kad rikne, sa strahom æe dotrèati sinovi s mora;
11 They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Sa strahom æe dotrèati iz Misira kao ptica, i kao golub iz zemlje Asirske; i naseliæu ih u kuæama njihovijem, govori Gospod.
12 Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones [is] faithful!
Opkolio me je Jefrem lažju i dom Izrailjev prijevarom; ali Juda još vlada s Bogom i vjeran je sa svetima.
