Oséias 13
1 Quando Ephraim fallava, tremia-se; foi exalçado em Israel; mas quando se fez culpado em Baal, então morreu.
[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 E agora accumularam peccados sobre peccados, e da sua prata fizeram uma imagem de fundição, idolos segundo o seu entendimento, que todos são obra de artifices, dos quaes dizem: Os homens que sacrificam beijem os bezerros.
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 Por isso serão como a nuvem de manhã, e como orvalho da madrugada, que passa: como folhelho que a tempestade lança da eira, e como o fumo da chaminé.
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 Eu pois sou o Senhor teu Deus desde a terra do Egypto; portanto não reconhecerás outro Deus fóra de mim, porque não ha Salvador senão eu.
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 Eu te conheci no deserto, na terra mui secca.
I took care of your [ancestors when they were] in the desert, where it was extremely [hot and] dry.
6 Depois elles se fartaram á proporção do seu pasto; estando pois fartos, ensoberbeceu-se o seu coração, por isso se esqueceram de mim.
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 Portanto serei para elles como leão; como leopardo espiarei no caminho.
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 Como urso que tem perdido seus filhos, os encontrarei, lhes romperei as teias do seu coração, e ali os devorarei como leão; as feras do campo os despedaçarão.
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 Isso te lançou a perder, ó Israel, que te rebellaste contra mim, a saber, contra a tua ajuda.
[You people of] Israel, you will be destroyed because you oppose me, the only one who (can help/helps) you.
10 Onde está agora o teu rei, para que te guarde em todas as tuas cidades? e os teus juizes, dos quaes disseste: Dá-me rei e principes?
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 Dei-te um rei na minha ira, e t'o tirarei no meu furor.
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 A iniquidade de Ephraim está atada, o seu peccado está enthesourado.
[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 Dôres de mulher de parto lhe virão: elle é um filho insensato: porque não permanece o seu tempo na paridura.
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 Eu pois os remirei da violencia do inferno, e os resgatarei da morte: onde estão, ó morte, as tuas pestes? onde está ó inferno, a tua perdição? o arrependimento será escondido de meus olhos. (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 Ainda que elle dê fructo entre os irmãos, virá o vento leste, vento do Senhor, subindo do deserto, e seccar-se-ha a sua veia, e seccar-se-ha a sua fonte: elle saqueará o thesouro de todos os vasos desejaveis.
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 Samaria virá a ser deserta, porque se rebellou contra o seu Deus: cairão á espada, seus filhos serão despedaçados, e as suas gravidas serão fendidas pelo meio.
[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.”
