Hosea 7
1 'When I give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,
Kad lijeèim Izrailja, tada se pokazuje bezakonje Jefremovo i zloæa Samarijska; jer èine laž, i lupež ulazi, i napolju udara èeta.
2 And they do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.
I ne govore u srcu svom da ja pamtim svako bezakonje njihovo; sada stoje oko njih djela njihova, preda mnom su.
3 With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.
Nevaljalstvom svojim vesele cara i lažima svojim knezove.
4 All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.
Svi èine preljubu; kao peæ su koju užari hljebar, koji prestane stražiti kad zamijesi tijesto pa dokle uskisne.
5 A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.
Na dan cara našega razbolješe se knezovi od mijeha vina, i on pruži ruku svoju potsmjevaèima.
6 For they have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire.
Jer na zasjede svoje upravljaju srce svoje, koje je kao peæ; hljebar njihov spava cijelu noæ, ujutru gori kao plamen ognjeni.
7 All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.
Svi su kao peæ ugrijani i proždiru svoje sudije; svi carevi njihovi padaju, nijedan izmeðu njih ne vièe k meni.
8 Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.
Jefrem se pomiješao s narodima; Jefrem je pogaèa neprevrnuta.
9 Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.
Inostranci jedu mu silu, a on ne zna; sijede kose popadaju ga, a on ne zna.
10 And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
I ponositost Izrailjeva svjedoèi mu u oèi, ali se ne vraæaju ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu niti ga traže uza sve to.
11 And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.
I Jefrem je kao golub, lud, bezuman; zovu Misir, idu u Asirsku.
12 When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.
Kad otidu, razapeæu na njih mrežu svoju, kao ptice nebeske svuæi æu ih, karaæu ih kako je kazivano u zboru njihovu.
13 Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
Teško njima, jer zaðoše od mene; pogibao æe im biti, jer me iznevjeriše; ja ih iskupih, a oni govoriše na me laž.
14 And have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside against Me.
Niti me prizivaše iz srca svojega, nego ridaše na odrima svojim; žita i vina radi skupljajuæi se otstupaju od mene.
15 And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
Kad ih karah, ukrijepih im mišice; ali oni misliše zlo na me.
16 They turn back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!
Vraæaju se, ali ne k višnjemu, postaše kao luk lažljiv; knezovi æe njihovi popadati od maèa s obijesti jezika svojega; to æe im biti potsmijeh u zemlji Misirskoj.
