Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.
Kad je Efrajim govorio, strah je zadavao, jer bijaše on prvak u Izraelu, al' ogriješi se Baalom i poginu.
2 And now do they add to sin, And make to them a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding — idols, A work of artisans — all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, 'The calves let them kiss.'
I sad još griješe oni od srebra praveć' sebi kipove, kumire po svojoj mašti; svi su oni djelo rukotvorca! Tima - vele - žrtvujte, ljudi neka cjelivaju teoce!
3 Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.
Zato, bit će oni kao oblak jutarnji, kao rosa koje brzo nestaje, kao pljeva raznesena s gumna, kao dim što kroz otvor izlazi.
4 And I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, And a God besides Me thou dost not know, And a Saviour — there is none save Me.
A ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj sve od zemlje egipatske: drugog Boga osim mene ne ljubi! Osim mene nema spasitelja.
5 I — I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
Ja te ljubljah u pustinji, u zemlji suhoj.
6 According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
Ja ih pasoh, i siti bijahu; nasićenima srce se uzoholi; i tako me zaboraviše.
7 And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.
Stoga ću im biti kao lav, kao leopard što na putu vreba;
8 I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.
kao medvjedica kojoj ugrabiše mlade, ja ću se na njih baciti, rastrgat' im grudi do srca; k'o lav ću proždrijeti meso njihovo, zvijeri će ih poljske rastrgati.
9 And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.
Uništit ću te, Izraele, i tko će ti pomoći?
10 Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy help, Where [is] thy king now — And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, 'Give to me a king and heads?'
TÓa gdje ti je kralj da te spasi, gdje tvoji knezovi da te brane - oni za koje si govorio: “Daj mi kralja i knezove!”
11 I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.
U gnjevu svom kralja ti dadoh i u srdžbi ti ga uzimam.
12 Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
Dobro se čuva bezakonje Efrajimovo, grijeh je njegov dobro pohranjen.
13 Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of sons.
Dođoše na nj trudovi porodiljski, ali on je ludo čedo, ne izlazi na vrijeme iz utrobe materine!
14 From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Ja ću ih izbaviti od vlasti Podzemlja, od smrti ću ih spasiti! Gdje je tvoja kuga, o smrti, gdje pomor tvoj, Podzemlje! Samilost se sakri od mojih očiju! (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he among brethren produceth fruit, Come in doth an east wind, a wind of Jehovah, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it drieth up his fountain, And become dry doth his spring, It — it spoileth a treasure — every desirable vessel.
Tako je rodan među braćom Efrajim, ali će doći vjetar istočni, vjetar Jahvin iz pustinje: isušit će mu izvore, presahnuti studence, opljačkat mu riznicu, blago odnijeti.
16 Become desolate doth Samaria, Because she hath rebelled against her God, By sword they do fall, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!
Ispaštat će Samarija jer se protiv Boga svoga pobunila. Od mača past će oni, djecu će njihovu smrskati, žene trudne rasporiti.
