Hosea 7
1 apabila Aku menyembuhkan Israel, maka tersingkaplah kesalahan Efraim dan kejahatan-kejahatan Samaria: sebab mereka melakukan penipuan: pencuri mendobrak masuk, gerombolan merampas di luar.
When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
2 Dan tidak terpikir mereka bahwa Aku mengingat segala kejahatan mereka. Sekarangpun perbuatan-perbuatan mereka mengepung mereka, semuanya ada di hadapan wajah-Ku.
that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
3 Mereka menyukakan raja dengan kejahatan mereka, dan para pemuka dengan kebohongan mereka.
They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
4 Sekaliannya mereka orang-orang berzinah, bagaikan dapur perapian yang menyala terus, ketika tukang bakar roti berhenti membesarkan apinya, sementara ia meremas adonan sampai menjadi muai oleh ragi.
They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 Pada pesta raja kita mereka membuat sakit para pemuka dengan anggur yang menghangatkan; ia bersekutu dengan para pencemooh.
[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
6 Batin mereka seperti dapur perapian; hati mereka menyala-nyala; semalam-malaman murka mereka surut, pada waktu pagi menyala kembali seperti api yang menjilat.
Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
7 Mereka semua sudah panas seperti dapur perapian, dan memakan habis para hakim mereka. Semua raja mereka sudah tewas, tidak ada seorang di antara mereka yang berseru kepada-Ku.
They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
8 Efraim mencampurkan dirinya di antara bangsa-bangsa, Efraim telah menjadi roti bundar yang tidak dibalik.
Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
9 Orang-orang luar memakan habis kekuatannya, tetapi ia sendiri tidak mengetahuinya; juga ia sudah banyak beruban, tetapi ia sendiri tidak mengetahuinya.
Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
10 Kecongkakan Israel menjadi saksi terhadap dirinya, namun mereka tidak berbalik kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka, dan tidak mencari Dia kendati semuanya ini.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
11 Efraim telah menjadi merpati tolol, tidak berakal, dengan memanggil kepada Mesir, dengan pergi kepada Asyur.
And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
12 Apabila mereka pergi, Aku akan membentangkan jaring-Ku ke atas mereka; Aku akan menurunkan mereka seperti burung-burung di udara, Aku akan menghajar mereka karena kejahatan-kejahatan mereka.
Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumor of their [coming] affliction.
13 Celakalah mereka, sebab mereka melarikan diri dari pada-Ku! Binasalah mereka, sebab mereka memberontak terhadap Aku! Aku ini mau menebus mereka, tetapi mereka berdusta terhadap Aku.
Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
14 Seruan mereka kepada-Ku tidak keluar dari hatinya, tetapi mereka meratap di pembaringan mereka. Mereka menoreh-noreh diri karena gandum dan anggur, dan mereka berontak terhadap Aku.
And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
15 Sekalipun Aku telah melatih dan menguatkan lengan-lengan mereka, namun mereka merancang kejahatan terhadap Aku.
They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
16 Mereka berbalik kepada Baal, mereka adalah seperti busur tipu; pemuka-pemuka mereka akan tewas oleh pedang karena ucapan mereka yang kasar. Inilah yang akan menjadi olok-olok kepada mereka di tanah Mesir.
They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt.
