होशेय 13
1 १ एफ्राईम बोलत असे तेव्हा लोकांचा थरकाप होई; तो इस्राएलाचा सरदार झाला; पण पुढे बआलमूर्तीमुळे दोषी होऊन तो लोपला.
[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 २ आता ते अधिकाधिक पाप करु लागले ते चांदीच्या ओतीव मूर्ती आपल्या कुशलतेने कारागीर बनवतो तसे बनवू लागले. लोक म्हणू लागले, “जे बलिदान करतात त्यांनी वासरांचे चुंबन घ्या”
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 ३ म्हणून पहाटेच्या ढगासारखे लवकर उडून जाणाऱ्या दवासारखे खळ्यातून वाऱ्याने उडणाऱ्या भुसासारखे आणि धुराडयातून उडणाऱ्या धुरासारखे ते होतील.
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 ४ पण मी तुमचा देव परमेश्वर आहे, ज्याने तुम्हास मिसरातून बाहेर काढले, माझ्याशिवाय तुम्हास अन्य देव नाही, माझ्याशिवाय कोणी तारक नाही.
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!
I took care of your [ancestors when they were] in the desert, where it was extremely [hot and] dry.
6 ६ जेव्हा तुम्हास चारा मिळाला तेव्हा तुम्ही तृप्त झालात, आणि जेव्हा तुमचे पोट भरले तेव्हा तुमचे हृदय उन्मत्त झाले; त्या कारणास्तव तुम्ही मला विसरला.
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]!
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 ८ जिची पिल्ले चोरी झाली, अशा अस्वली सारखा मी तुमच्यावर हल्ला करीन, मी तुमचे उर फाडीन, आणि सिंहिनीप्रमाणे तुम्हास खाऊन टाकेन, जसा वनपशू तुम्हास फाडून टाकतो.
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 ९ इस्राएला हा तुझा नाश आहे जो येत आहे, कारण तू माझ्या म्हणजे तुझ्या सहाय्यकर्त्यांच्या विरोधात गेला आहेस.
[You people of] Israel, you will be destroyed because you oppose me, the only one who (can help/helps) you.
10 १० तुझा राजा कोठे आहे? जो तुझ्या सर्व नगरांचे रक्षण करतो तुझे अधीपती कोठे आहेत? ज्याविषयी तू मला म्हटले, “मला राजा आणि अधिपती दे?”
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]!’
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.
[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 १३ प्रसूतिवेदना त्याच्यावर येतील, पण तो अक्कलशून्य मुलगा आहे, कारण जन्म घेण्याच्या वेळी तो गर्भातून बाहेर येत नाही.
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 १४ मी त्यांना खरोखर अधोलोकाच्या बळापासून सोडवीन काय? मी त्यांना खरोखर मरणातून सोडवणार काय? मरणा, तुझ्या महामाऱ्या कोठे आहेत? आणि इथे कळवळा माझ्या समोरुन लपलेला आहे. (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 १५ एफ्राईम आपल्या भावांमध्ये जरी प्रगत झाला, तरी पूर्वेचा वारा येईल, परमेश्वराचा वारा रानातून येईल एफ्राईमाचा झरा सुकून जाईल, त्याच्या विहिरीत पाणी राहणार नाही. त्यांचा शत्रू त्याच्या सर्व मौल्यवान वस्तू लुटून नेईल.
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 १६ शोमरोनात दोष येईल, कारण त्याने देवाविरुध्द बंड केले आहे ते तलवारीने पडतील. त्यांची लहान मुले आपटली जातील आणि त्यांच्या गर्भवती स्त्रिया चिरुन टाकण्यात येतील.
[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.”
