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 would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.
2 Dan tidak terpikir mereka bahwa Aku mengingat segala kejahatan mereka. Sekarangpun perbuatan-perbuatan mereka mengepung mereka, semuanya ada di hadapan wajah-Ku.
And lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been done before my face.
3 Mereka menyukakan raja dengan kejahatan mereka, dan para pemuka dengan kebohongan mereka.
They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the 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, like an oven heated by the baker: the city rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till the whole was leavened.
5 Pada pesta raja kita mereka membuat sakit para pemuka dengan anggur yang menghangatkan; ia bersekutu dengan para pencemooh.
The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 Batin mereka seperti dapur perapian; hati mereka menyala-nyala; semalam-malaman murka mereka surut, pada waktu pagi menyala kembali seperti api yang menjilat.
Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he himself was heated as a flaming 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 were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth unto me.
8 Efraim mencampurkan dirinya di antara bangsa-bangsa, Efraim telah menjadi roti bundar yang tidak dibalik.
Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as bread baked under the ashes, that is 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 have devoured his strength, and he knew it not: yea, grey hairs also are spread about upon him, and he is ignorant of it.
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 humbled before his face: and they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all these.
11 Efraim telah menjadi merpati tolol, tidak berakal, dengan memanggil kepada Mesir, dengan pergi kepada Asyur.
And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a heart: they called upon Egypt, 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.
And when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their congregation hath heard.
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 departed from me: they shall be wasted because they have transgressed against me: and I redeemed them: and they have spoken lies 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 they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howled in their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed from me.
15 Sekalipun Aku telah melatih dan menguatkan lengan-lengan mereka, namun mereka merancang kejahatan terhadap Aku.
And I have chastised them, and strengthened their arms: and they have imagined evil 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 returned, that they might be without yoke: they became like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
