Hosea 8
1 'Unto thy mouth — a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
Trubu na usta, i reci: kao orao ide na dom Gospodnji; jer prestupiše zavjet moj i otpadiše se od zakona mojega.
2 To Me they cry, 'My God, we — Israel — have known Thee.'
Izrailj æe vikati k meni: Bože moj; poznajemo te.
3 Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.
Izrailj je ostavio dobro; neprijatelj æe ga goniti.
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
Postavljaju careve, ali ne od mene; podižu knezove, za koje ja ne znam; od srebra svojega i od zlata svojega grade sebi likove, da se istrijebe.
5 Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?
Ostavilo te je tele tvoje, Samarijo; jarost se moja raspalila na njih; dokle se neæe moæi oèistiti?
6 For even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
Jer je i ono od Izrailja; naèinio ga je umjetnik, i nije Bog; tele æe Samarijsko otiæi u komade.
7 For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none — a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield — strangers do swallow it up.
Jer siju vjetar, pa æe žeti oluju; stabljike neæe imati, klica neæe dati brašna; da bi i dala, proždrijeæe ga tuðinci.
8 Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
Proždrijeæe se Izrailj, biæe meðu narodima kao sud na kom nema miline.
9 For they — they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
Jer otidoše k Asircu, divljemu magarcu, koji je sam za se; Jefrem naima ljubavnike.
10 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
A što naimaše meðu narodima, ja æu ih sabrati; a veæ i okusiše malo radi bremena cara nad knezovima.
11 Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
Što umnoži Jefrem oltare da griješi, biæe mu oltari na grijeh.
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
Napisah mu velike stvari u zakonu svom; ali mu se èine kao nešto tuðe.
13 The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They — [to] Egypt they turn back.
Za žrtve, koje mi prinose, prinose meso, i jedu ga; Gospod ih ne prima; sada æe se opomenuti bezakonja njihova i pohodiæe grijehe njihove; oni æe se vratiti u Misir.
14 And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!
Izrailj zaboravi tvorca svojega, i sagradi dvorove, i Juda umnoži tvrde gradove; ali æu pustiti oganj u gradove ovomu, i spaliæe dvorove onomu.
