Hóseás 13
1 Efraim szólott volt, rettegés: nagygyá lett Izráelben, de vétkezett a Baállal, és meghalt.
[Previously], when [the leaders of] Israel spoke, the people trembled; those leaders were highly respected by the Israeli people. But the people sinned greatly by [worshiping] Baal, so now they will be killed [by their enemies].
2 Most is többítik bűneiket és csinálnak magoknak öntött képeket az ő ezüstjökből, bálványokat az ő eszök szerint. Képfaragók csinálmánya mindaz! Róluk mondják: Emberek, a kik áldoznak, borjúkat csókolnak!
Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves [and coat the idols] with their silver. Those idols are statues that are very cleverly made, but those statues are made by [mere] humans. But [the people are told], “Kiss those idols [that resemble a] calf, and offer sacrifices to them!”
3 Azért olyanná lesznek, mint a reggeli felhő és mint a harmat, a mely korán eltűnik; mint a szérűről elsodort polyva és mint a kéménynek füstje.
Therefore, those people will [disappear quickly] like [SIM] the morning mist or the dew that lies [on the ground] early [in the morning]; [they will disappear] like [SIM] chaff that is blown away from where [the wheat] is threshed, like [SIM] smoke that goes out of a chimney.
4 Pedig én vagyok az Úr, a te Istened Égyiptom földétől fogva. Nem ismerhetsz más Istent kivülem, és rajtam kivül nincs más szabadító!
But [Yahweh says to his people], “I am Yahweh, your God, [the one who brought your ancestors] out of Egypt. You must believe that only I am God and that there is no other God, and that there is no one else who can save you!
5 Én ismertelek téged a pusztában, az eltikkadt földön.
I took care of your [ancestors when they were] in the desert, where it was extremely [hot and] dry.
6 A mint legeltek: elteltek; elteltek és szívök felfuvalkodék: azért hát elfelejtkezének rólam.
When I provided food for them, their [stomachs] were full, and they were satisfied. But then they became proud and they forgot [about] me, [and you are like your ancestors]!
7 De olyan is leszek hozzájok, mint az oroszlán; mint a párducz, úgy lesekedem az úton.
So I will attack you like [SIM] a lion [attacks other animals]; I will be like [SIM] a leopard that waits beside the road [to attack another animal].
8 Rájok rohanok, mint a kölykétől megfosztott medve, és széttépem szívök borítóját, és felfalom ott őket, mint egy nőstény oroszlán. A mezei vad szaggatja szét őket!
Like [SIM] a female bear attacks anyone that steals her cubs, I will attack you Israelis and rip you open. I will completely destroy you like [SIM] lions or [other] wild animals tear apart the animals that they catch and devour them.
9 Romlásodra lett Izráel, hogy ellenem törekedtél, a te segítőd ellen.
[You people of] Israel, you will be destroyed because you oppose me, the only one who (can help/helps) you.
10 Hol van hát a te királyod, hol van, hogy megoltalmazzon minden városodban? És biráid, a kik felől ezt mondád: Adj nékem királyt és fejedelmeket!
You have a king; (why is he [unable to save you]?/but he is [unable to save you].) [RHQ] You have [RHQ] rulers in all your towns, but they are not helping you, [either]. Your [ancestors] said, ‘Appoint for us a king and [other] leaders [to rule over us] [like the other nations have]!’
11 Adtam néked királyt haragomban, és elvettem az én búsulásomban!
I was angry with them [for requesting that], but I appointed a king [to rule over] them. But [later] I became very angry with them [again], so I took their king away.
12 Egybe van kötve Efraim álnoksága; eltéve az ő bűne!
[I have written on a scroll] a record of the sins that have been committed by you people of Israel, and I have stored away that record.
13 A szülőasszony kínjai lepik meg őt; oktalan fiú ő, mert a kellő időben nem jő ki anyjának méhéből.
You people are not wise; and now [you are helpless]. You are like [MET] a woman who is having birth pains but who is unable to give birth to the baby.
14 Megváltom őket a Seol hatalmából! Megmentem őket a haláltól! Hol van a te veszedelmed oh halál?! Hol van a te romlásod oh Seol?! Megbánás elrejtetett én előlem. (Sheol h7585)
I certainly will not [RHQ] save you from being killed and from going to the place where the dead people are. I will [RHQ] cause you to be afflicted by plagues and to die and be buried in graves. I will not be merciful [to you]. (Sheol h7585)
15 Mert bár a testvérek közt ő a legvirágzóbb: feljő a keleti szél, az Úr szele támad fel a pusztából; kiszárad kútfeje, elapad forrása: az rabolja ki minden drága kincseinek tárházát.
Even if you people of Israel prosper more than the nearby nations do, [the army of Assyria] will come [like] [MET] an east wind that blows from the desert; the springs and wells in Israel will become dry; and [your enemies] will take away all your valuable possessions.
16 Meglakol Samaria, mert daczolt az ő Istenével. Fegyver által hullanak el; csecsemőik földhöz veretnek, és terhes asszonyaik ketté vágatnak.
[You people of] Samaria must be punished because you have rebelled against [me], your God. You will be killed by [your enemies’] swords; your little children will be [killed by being] dashed/thrown to the ground; the [bellies of] women [among you] will be ripped open.”
