Hóseás 10
1 Terjeszkedő szőlőtő Izraél, megtermi gyümölcsét; a mint sokasodott gyümölcse, megsokasította az oltárokat, a mily jólétben volt országa, azon jól készített oszlopokat.
“Israel was [like a large] healthy/luxuriant vine [MET] that produced [a lot of] grapes. But as the people became richer, they made more altars [at which to worship idols]. As the people prospered, they [built and] decorated sacred pillars [that they worshiped].
2 Megoszlott a szívök, most bűnhődjenek! Ő majd letöri oltáraikat, elpusztítja oszlopaikat.
They are deceitful; [so] now they are guilty and must be punished. [I], Yahweh, will tear down their altars and smash those pillars.
3 Bizony, most mondhatják: nincsen királyunk: mert nem féltük az Örökkévalót, a király pedig, mit tehet érettünk?!
Then they will say, ‘It is because we did not revere Yahweh that we no [longer] have a king. But [even if we had] a king, he certainly could not [RHQ] do anything to help us.’
4 Beszéltek beszédeket, hamis eskükkel szövetséget kötve; és kivirít, mint a méregfű, az ítélet a mező barázdáin.
They falsely promise [that they will do many things]; they solemnly promise and make agreements, but they do not do what they promise. So people accuse and sue [each other in the courts]; they are like [SIM] poisonous weeds [that grow] in a plowed field.
5 Bét-Ávennek borjaiért félnek Sómrón lakói; bizony gyászol miatta az ő népe, papjai pedig reszketnek miatta, dicsősége miatt, hogy elköltözött őtőle.
The people who live in Samaria [city] are worried about [what may happen to the idol that resembles] a calf [that they set up] at Beth-Aven [town]. The people in Samaria will mourn, and the priests there will cry about it [if it is damaged or destroyed]. [Previously] they shouted joyfully about its being very great; but now it will not be great any more.
6 Őt magát is Assúrba viszik el, ajándokúl Járéb királynak; szégyent vesz Efraim, és megszégyenül Izraél tanácsa miatt.
It will be taken to Assyria to be a gift for the great King [of Assyria]. [So the people of] Israel will be disgraced, and they will be ashamed because [they trusted in] that idol.
7 Sómrónnak megsemmisült a királya, mint forgács a víznek színén.
The King of Samaria [and the other people in Samaria] will be gone; they will be like [SIM] a twig [that floats away] on the surface of the water [and disappears].
8 És elpusztíttatnak a bálványok magaslatai, Izraélnek a vétke, tüske és tövis nő föl az oltáraikon; és majd mondják a hegyeknek: borítsatok el minket, és a halmoknak: omoljatok reánk!
The altars on the tops of hills [where the people worshiped idols] will be destroyed; those have been the places where the people of Israel sinned greatly. Thorns and weeds will grow and cover those altars. Then the people will plead to the mountains and hills, ‘Fall [down and] cover us [to protect us from God punishing us]!’
9 Gibea napjaitól fogva vétkeztél, Izraél: ott álltak – nem éri el őket Gibeában háború – a gazság fiai mellett.
[You people of] Israel, [ever since your ancestors did evil things] at Gibeah, you have continued to sin. [When the people at] [PRS] Gibeah [did evil things], the result was a war [in which thousands of people died].
10 Kedvem szerint megfenyítem őket, majd összegyűjtetnek ellenük népek – a mikor oda kötöm őket kettős bűnükhöz.
[So now], when I want to, I will punish the Israeli people. Because of the many sins that they have committed, [the armies of other] nations will gather to attack them, and they will cause the Israeli people to become their slaves.
11 Efraim pedig betanított üsző, szeret nyomtatni, én meg simogattam nyakának szépségét; majd befogom Efraimot, szántani fog Jehúda, boronálni fog Jákób.
Israel is [like] [MET] a well-trained (heifer/young cow) that likes to thresh [grain]. [So now you will become slaves]. [It will be as though] I will put a yoke on your neck, and you will be forced to work hard for your enemies in their fields. [You people of] Israel and Judah [will be forced to go to Assyria]; there you [DOU] will pull plows to break up the ground [for planting seeds].
12 Vessetek: magatoknak igazság szerint, arassatok szeretethez képest, szántsatok föl magatoknak ugart; hisz ideje keresni az Örökkévalót, míg nem eljön és igazságot tanít nektek.
[You plow your fields and plant your seeds] and harvest [your crops] [MET], [but what you need to do is] to act righteously and to faithfully love [me]; you need to repent [MET], because it is time to try to know [me], Yahweh; and if you do that, I will pour out [MET] many blessings on you.
13 Szántottatok gonoszságot, gazságot arattatok, ettétek a hazugság gyümölcsét; mert bíztál utadban, vitézeid sokaságában.
You [plant seeds and harvest the crops and eat them]; [but what I consider that you have really done is] that you have planted wicked things and harvested evil things and eaten [MET] the results [IDM] of the lies [that you have told]. [Instead of trusting in me, ] you have (depended on/trusted in) your own power and in your many soldiers.
14 Majd támad zajongás népeid ellen és mind az erősségeid elpusztíttatnak, a mint elpusztította Salmán Bét-Arbélt, a harcznak napján: szétzúzatott anya gyermekestől.
As a result, you will [soon] hear the roar of battle, and all your cities that have walls around them will be destroyed, like [SIM] Shalman’s [army] destroyed Beth-Arbel [city] in a battle, and the women [in that city] and their children were bashed to death.
15 Ezenképen bánnak veletek Bét-Élben, gonoszságtok gonoszsága miatt: hajnalban megsemmisülve megsemmisül Izraél királya!
[You people of] [APO] Bethel [city], that is what will happen to you, because you are very wicked. And when the sun rises [on that day], the King of Israel will be killed [in the battle].”
