Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.
Ko je Efrájim trepetajoč govoril, se je povišal v Izraelu, toda ko se je pohujšal z Báalom, je umrl.
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.'
In sedaj bolj in bolj grešijo in iz svojega srebra so si naredili ulite podobe in malike, glede na svoje lastno razumevanje. Vsi ti so delo rokodelcev, o njih pravijo: ›Naj možje, ki žrtvujejo, poljubijo teleta.‹
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.
Zatorej bodo kakor jutranji oblak in kakor zgodnja rosa, ki izginja, kakor pleve, ki je z vrtinčastim vetrom odpihnjeno iz mlatišča in kakor dim iz dimnika.
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.
In vendar jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, od egiptovske dežele in razen mene ne boš poznal nobenega boga, kajti poleg mene ni rešitelja.
5 I — I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
Poznal sem te v divjini, v deželi velike suše.
6 According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
Glede na njihov pašnik, tako so bili nasičeni; nasičeni so bili in njihovo srce je bilo povzdignjeno, zato so me pozabili.
7 And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.
Zatorej jim bom kakor lev, kakor leopard ob poti jih bom opazoval.
8 I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.
Srečal jih bom kakor medvedka, ki je oropana svojih mladičev in raztrgal bom opno njihovega srca in tam jih bom požrl kakor lev. Divja žival jih bo trgala.
9 And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.
Oh Izrael, uničeval si samega sebe, toda v meni je tvoja pomoč.
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?'
Jaz bom tvoj kralj. Kje je katerikoli drug, ki te lahko reši v vseh tvojih mestih? In tvoji sodniki, o katerih praviš: ›Daj mi kralja in prince?‹
11 I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.
V svoji jezi sem ti dal kralja in v svojem besu sem ga vzel proč.
12 Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
Krivičnost Efrájima je zvezana, njegov greh je skrit.
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.
Bridkosti ženske v porodnih mukah bodo prišle nadenj. On je nespameten sin, kajti ne bi smel dolgo ostati v odprtini rojevanja otrok.
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)
Odkupil jih bom pred oblastjo groba; odkupil jih bom pred smrtjo. ›Oh smrt, jaz bom tvoje kuge; ‹ ›Oh grob, jaz bom tvoje uničenje.‹ Kesanje bo skrito mojim očem. (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.
Čeprav bi bil rodoviten med svojimi brati, bo prišel vzhodni veter, veter od Gospoda bo prišel gor iz divjine in njegov izvir se bo posušil in njegov studenec bo osušen. Oplenil bo zaklad vseh prijetnih posod.
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!
Samarija bo postala zapuščena, kajti uprla se je zoper svojega Boga. Padli bodo pod mečem, njihovi otročiči bodo razbiti na koščke in njihove nosečnice bodo razparane.
