Osija 10
1 Izrailj je prazna loza vinova, ostavlja rod za se; što više roda ima, to više umnožava oltare; što mu je bolja zemlja, to više kiti likove.
“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 Srce im je razdijeljeno, zato su krivi; on æe oboriti oltare njihove, polomiæe likove njihove.
They are deceitful; [so] now they are guilty and must be punished. [I], Yahweh, will tear down their altars and smash those pillars.
3 Jer sada govore: nemamo cara; ne bojimo se Gospoda; i šta bi nam uèinio car?
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 Govore rijeèi kunuæi se lažno kad ugovaraju vjeru, i sud kao otrov raste u brazdama na njivi mojoj.
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 Za junice Vetavenske uplašiæe se stanovnici Samarijski; jer æe za njima žaliti narod njihov, i sveštenici njihovi, koji im se radovahu, jer æe slava njihova otiæi od njih.
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 I on æe sam biti odveden u Asirsku na dar caru branièu; Jefrema æe popasti stid, i Izrailj æe se osramotiti namjerom svojom.
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 Cara æe Samarijskoga nestati kao pjene povrh vode.
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 oboriæe se visine Avenske, grijeh Izrailjev; trnje æe i èkalj rasti po oltarima njihovijem, i govoriæe gorama: pokrijte nas, i humovima: padnite 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 Od vremena Gavajskoga griješio si, Izrailju; ondje ostaše, ne stiže ih u Gavaji rat na bezakonike.
[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 Po svojoj æu ih volji pokarati, i narodi æe se skupiti na njih da ih zarobe za dvojako bezakonje njihovo.
[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 Jefrem je junica nauèena, koja rado vrše; ali æu joj doæi na lijepi vrat; upregnuæu Jefrema, Juda æe orati, Jakov æe povlaèiti.
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 Sijte pravdu, žeæete milost; orite krèevinu, jer je vrijeme da tražite Gospoda, da bi došao i podaždio vam pravdom.
[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 Oraste bezbožnost, žeste bezakonje, jedoste plod od laži; jer si se pouzdao u svoj put, u mnoštvo svojih junaka.
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 Zato æe se podignuti vreva meðu tvojim narodom, i svi æe se gradovi tvoji raskopati kao što Salman raskopa Vet-Arvel kad bijaše rat, majka bi razmrskana sa sinovima.
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 Tako æe vam uèiniti Vetilj za veliku zloæu vašu; zorom æe poginuti car Izrailjev.
[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].”
