Osija 12
1 Jefrem se hrani vjetrom, i ide za ustokom; svaki dan množi laž i pogibao; i hvataju vjeru s Asircem i nose ulje u Misir.
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind; Every day he multiplieth falsehood and violence; They make a league with Assyria, And oil is carried into Egypt.
2 I s Judom ima Gospod parbu i pohodiæe Jakova prema putovima njegovijem, platiæe mu po djelima njegovijem.
Therefore Jehovah hath a controversy with Judah. And he will punish Jacob for his ways, And requite him according to his doings.
3 U utrobi uhvati za petu brata svojega, i u sili svojoj bori se s Bogom;
In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And in his strength he contended with God;
4 Bori se s anðelom, i nadjaèa; plaka, i moli mu se; naðe ga u Vetilju, i ondje govori s nama.
Yea, he contended with the angel, and prevailed; He wept, and made supplication to him. At Bethel he found him, And there he spake with us.
5 Ali je Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Gospod mu je spomen.
And Jehovah, the God of hosts, Jehovah is his name.
6 Ti dakle obrati se k Bogu svojemu, èuvaj milost i pravdu, i uzdaj se vazda u Boga svojega.
Therefore turn thou to thy God; Observe mercy and justice, And hope in thy God always!
7 Trgovac je Jefrem, u ruci su mu mjerila lažna, milo mu je da èini krivo.
He is a Canaanite; in his hands are the balances of deceit; He loveth to oppress.
8 I govori Jefrem: baš se obogatih, stekoh blago, ni u kom trudu mom neæe mi naæi nepravde koja bi bila grijeh.
Yet Ephraim saith, Lo, I have become rich; I have found myself substance; In all my earnings can be found no transgression in which there is guilt.
9 A ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje Misirske, još æu ti dati da sjediš u šatorima kao o praznicima.
Yet I, Jehovah, have been thy God from the land of Egypt; I will again cause thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 I govoriæu preko proroka, i umnožiæu utvare, i davaæu prièu preko proroka.
I have also spoken to the prophets, And I have given many visions, And by the prophets I have used similitudes.
11 Doista je Galad bezakonje, postaše sama taština; u Galgalu prinose junce na žrtvu, i oltari su im kao gomile kamenja po brazdama na njivi mojoj.
Behold, Gilead is full of iniquity; Surely they have become corrupt; In Gilgal they sacrifice oxen, And their altars are like the heaps in the furrows of the field.
12 I Jakov pobježe u zemlju Sirsku, i Izrailj služi za ženu, i za ženu èuva ovce.
Jacob fled into the country of Syria, And Israel served for a wife, And for a wife he kept sheep.
13 I prorokom izvede Gospod Izrailja iz Misira, i prorokom èuva ga.
By a prophet Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet was he preserved.
14 Jefrem ga ljuto razgnjevi; zato æe ostaviti na njemu krv njegovu, i vratiæe mu sramotu njegovu Gospod njegov.
Ephraim hath provoked his Lord most bitterly; Therefore will he leave his blood upon him, And recompense to him his reproach.
