Hosea 5
1 'Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For, a snare ye have been on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
Poslušajte to, oh duhovniki in pazljivo prisluhnite, vi, Izraelova hiša in nagnite uho, oh kraljeva hiša, kajti sodba je zoper vas, ker ste bili zanka na Micpi in mreža, razpeta na [gori] Tabor.
2 And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a fetter to them all.
Puntarji so prodorni, da naredijo pokol, čeprav sem bil jaz oštevalec njih vseh.
3 I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.
Poznam Efrájima in Izrael ni skrit pred menoj, kajti sedaj, oh Efrájim, zagrešuješ vlačugarstvo in Izrael je omadeževan.«
4 They give not up their habitual doings, To turn back unto their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And Jehovah they have not known.
Svojih ravnanj ne bodo snovali, da bi se obrnili k svojemu Bogu, kajti duh vlačugarstev je v njihovi sredi in niso spoznali Gospoda.
5 And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.
Izraelov ponos pričuje v njegov obraz, zatorej bosta Izrael in Efrájim padla v svoji krivičnosti. Tudi Juda bo padel z njima.
6 With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.
Šli bodo s svojimi tropi in s svojimi čredami, da bi iskali Gospoda, toda ne bodo ga našli. On se je oddaljil od njih.
7 Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month [with] their portions.
Zahrbtno so ravnali zoper Gospoda, kajti zaplodili so tuje otroke. Sedaj jih bo požrl mesec z njihovimi deleži.
8 Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
Zatrobite na kornét v Gíbei in na trobento v Rami, kričite glasno pri Bet Avenu, za teboj, oh Benjamin.
9 Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.
Efrájim bo zapuščen na dan oštevanja. Med Izraelovimi rodovi sem dal spoznati tisto, kar zagotovo bo.
10 Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.
Judovi princi so bili kakor tisti, ki odstranjujejo mejo, zatorej bom nanje izlil svoj bes kakor vodo.
11 Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
Efrájim je zatiran in razklan na sodbi, zato ker je voljan hodil za [človeško] zapovedjo.
12 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
»Zato bom Efrájimu kakor molj, Judovi hiši pa kakor gniloba.
13 And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.
Ko je Efrájim videl svojo slabost in Juda videl svojo rano, takrat je šel Efrájim k Asircu in poslal h kralju Jarebu in vendar vas on ni mogel ozdraviti niti ozdraviti vaše rane.
14 For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I — I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.
Kajti jaz bom Efrájimu kakor lev in kakor mlad lev Judovi hiši. Jaz, celó jaz, bom raztrgal in odšel proč, jaz bom odnesel in nihče ga ne bo rešil.
15 I go — I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'
Šel bom in se vrnil na svoj kraj, dokler ne bodo priznali svojega prestopka in iskali mojega obraza. V svoji stiski me bodo zgodaj iskali.«
