Osija 11
1 Kad Izrailj bješe dijete, ljubljah ga, i iz Misira dozvah sina svojega.
When Israel was, a child, then I loved him, —and, out of Egypt, called I my son.
2 Koliko ih zvaše, toliko oni odlaziše od njih; prinosiše žrtve Valima, kadiše likovima.
They invited them, —at once, they departed from before me, they, to the Baals, sacrificed, and, to the images, offered incense.
3 Ja uèih Jefrema hoditi držeæi ga za ruke, ali ne poznaše da sam ih ja lijeèio.
Yet, I, had taught Ephraim to walk, I used to take them upon mine arms, —But they acknowledged not that I had healed them.
4 Vukoh ih uzicama èovjeèjim, užima ljubavnijem; i bijah im kao oni koji im skidaju jaram s èeljusti, i davah im hranu.
With human cords, used I to draw them, with the bands of love, so became I unto them like those who remove the yoke [that was] on their jaws, —and, holding out [food] to him, I let him eat.
5 Neæe se vratiti u zemlju Misirsku, nego æe mu Asirac biti car, jer se ne htješe obratiti.
He was not to turn back into the land of Egypt, Howbeit, the Assyrian—he, became his king, for they refused to turn.
6 I maè æe stajati u gradovima njegovijem, i potræe prijevornice njegove i proždrijeti za namjere njihove.
Therefore shall the sword, rage, in his cities, and make an end of his multitudes, and consume them, —because of their counsels.
7 Narod je moj prionuo za otpad od mene; zovu ga k višnjemu, ali se nijedan ne podiže.
But, my people, are bent towards turning from me, though upwards they call them, none of them can lift them.
8 Kako da te dam, Jefreme? da te predam, Izrailju? kako da uèinim od tebe kao od Adame? da te obratim da budeš kao Sevojim? Ustreptalo je srce moje u meni, uskolebala se utroba moja od žalosti.
How can I give thee up, Ephraim? abandon thee Israel? How can I make thee as Admah? set thee as Zeboim? Mine own heart, turneth against me, at once, are kindled my compassions.
9 Neæu izvršiti ljutoga gnjeva svojega, neæu opet zatrti Jefrema; jer sam ja Bog a ne èovjek, svetac usred tebe; neæu doæi na grad.
I cannot execute the glow of mine anger, I cannot turn to destroy Ephraim, —for, GOD, am, I, and not man, When thou drawest near, [I am] a Holy One, though I do not enter a city.
10 Iæi æe oni za Gospodom; on æe rikati kao lav; kad rikne, sa strahom æe dotrèati sinovi s mora;
After Yahweh, let them go, Like a lion, will he roar, —When, he, shall roar, then let sons, come trembling, out of the West.
11 Sa strahom æe dotrèati iz Misira kao ptica, i kao golub iz zemlje Asirske; i naseliæu ih u kuæama njihovijem, govori Gospod.
Let them come trembling like a small bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria, —so will I cause them to dwell by their own houses, Declareth Yahweh.
12 Opkolio me je Jefrem lažju i dom Izrailjev prijevarom; ali Juda još vlada s Bogom i vjeran je sa svetima.
They have compassed me about—with denial, Ephraim, with deceit, the house of Israel, —but, Judah, hath, again and again, run riot with GOD, though, with the holy places, entrusted.
