Ozeasza 10
1 Izrael jest macicą próżną, owoc przynosi sobie; czem więcej miewał owocu swego, tem więcej nabudował ołtarzów; a czem obfitsza jest ziemia jego, tem więcej nastawiał obrazów.
“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 Rozdziela się serce ich, przetoż winnymi są; on pokruszy ołtarze ich, i obrazy ich popsuje.
They are deceitful; [so] now they are guilty and must be punished. [I], Yahweh, will tear down their altars and smash those pillars.
3 Ponieważ mówią: Nie mamy króla, nawet nie boimy się Pana, a król nam co uczyni?
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 Mówią słowa, przysięgając kłamliwie, gdy czynią przymierze; i wzrośnie sąd jako jad na zagonach polnych.
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 Dla jałowic Bet Aweńskich zatrwożą się obywatele Samaryjscy, gdy kwilić będą nad nim, lud jego, i popije go, (którzy się więc radowali z niego) przeto, że sława jego odchodzi od niego.
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 Nawet i sam do Assyryi zaprowadzony będzie za dar królowi Jareb; zawstydzi się Efraim, i zasroma się Izrael za radę swoję.
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 Wycięty będzie król Samaryjski, jako piana na wierzchu wody.
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 I będą wyżyny Awenu wytracone, grzech Izraelski; ciernie i oset wyrośnie na ołtarzach ich; a rzekną górom: Przykryjcie nas; a pagórkom: Upadnijcie na nas.
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 Ode dni Gabaa grzeszyłeś, Izraelu! tam się ostali, nie zachwyciła ich w Gabaa bitwa przeciwko synom nieprawości podniesiona.
[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 Przetoż ich pokarzę według upodobania mego; bo się zbiorą na nich narody, aby byli karani dla dwojakich nieprawości swoich.
[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 Bo Efraim jest jako jałowica wyuczona, kocha się w młóceniu, chociażem Ja następował na cudny kark jej, abym do jazdy używał Efraima, Juda aby orał, a Jakób aby włóczył.
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 I mówiłem: Siejcie sobie ku sprawiedliwości; żnijcie ku miłosierdziu, orzcie sobie nowinę; bo czas jest szukać Pana, aż przyjdzie, i spuści na was sprawiedliwość jako deszcz.
[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 Aleście orali niepobożność, żęliście nieprawość, jedliście owoc kłamstwa; albowiem ufasz w drodze swej i w mnóstwie mocarzów twoich.
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 Dlategoż powstanie rozruch między ludem twoim, a wszystkie zamki twoje poburzone będą, tak jako poburzył Salman Bet Arbel w dzień bitwy; matki z synami roztrącone będą.
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 Oto tak wam uczyni Betel dla wielkiej złości waszej; król Izraelski na świtaniu do szczętu zgładzony będzie.
[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].”
