Osija 13
1 Kad Jefrem govoraše, bješe strah; bješe se uzvisio u Izrailju; ali se ogriješi o Vala, te umrije.
When Ephraim used to speak there was trembling; a prince was he in Israel. But he incurred guilt through Baal and died.
2 I sada jednako griješe i grade sebi lijuæi od srebra svojega po razumu svojemu likove, koji su svi djelo umjetnièko, a oni govore za njih: ljudi koji prinose žrtve neka cjeluju teoce.
And now they go on sinning. They make for themselves molten gods – idols of silver, skilfully made, wholly the work of smiths. Yet to such they sacrifice! And they who sacrifice kiss calf idols!
3 Zato æe biti kao oblak jutarnji i kao rosa koja u zoru padne, pa je nestane, kao pljeva, koju odnosi vjetar s gumna, i kao dim iz dimnjaka.
Therefore they shall be like the morning mist, like the dew that early disappears, like the chaff which blows away from the threshing floor, like the smoke from the window.
4 A ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje Misirske, i Boga osim mene nijesi poznao, i osim mene nema ko bi spasao.
Yet it was I, the Lord your God, ever since the land of Egypt, you know no other god but me, nor has there been any saviour except me.
5 Ja te poznah u pustinji, u zemlji zasušenoj.
It was I who shepherded you in the wilderness, in the land of burning heat.
6 Imajuæi dobru pašu bijahu siti; ali èim se nasitiše, ponese se srce njihovo, zato me zaboraviše.
When they were pastured they became full, when they were full their hearts became proud. Therefore they forgot me!
7 Zato æu im biti kao lav, kao ris vrebaæu ih na putu.
So now I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard will I lay in wait by the path.
8 Srešæu ih kao medvjedica kojoj uzmu medvjediæe, i rastrgaæu im sve srce njihovo i izješæu ih ondje kao lav; zvijerje poljsko raskinuæe ih.
I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their chests, like a lion will devour them, and like a wild beast will tear them in pieces.
9 Propao si, Izrailju; ali ti je pomoæ u meni.
You are destroyed, Israel, by me, your only helper.
10 Gdje ti je car? gdje je? neka te saèuva u svijem gradovima tvojim; gdje li su sudije tvoje, za koje si govorio: daj mi cara i knezove?
I want to rule you! Where are your princes in your cities, those of whom you demanded, ‘Give me kings and princes.’
11 Dadoh ti cara u gnjevu svom, i uzeh ga u jarosti svojoj.
I give you kings in my anger, and take them away in my wrath.
12 Svezano je bezakonje Jefremovo, ostavljen je grijeh njegov.
Ephrahn’s iniquity is gathered up, his sin is laid by in store.
13 Bolovi kao u porodilje spopašæe ga, sin je nerazuman, jer ne bi toliko vremena ostao u utrobi.
The pangs of childbirth come upon him, but he is an unwise child. For this is no time to refuse to leave the womb!
14 Od groba æu ih izbaviti, od smrti æu ih saèuvati; gdje je, smrti, pomor tvoj? gdje je, grobe, pogibao tvoja? kajanje æe biti sakriveno od oèiju mojih. (Sheol h7585)
Should I deliver them from the power of Sheol? Should I redeem them from death? Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your pestilence? Compassion is forever hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Rodan æe biti meðu braæom svojom; ali æe doæi istoèni vjetar, vjetar Gospodnji, koji ide od pustinje, i usahnuæe mu izvor, i studenac æe mu zasušiti; on æe odnijeti blago od svijeh dragih zaklada.
Though he is flourishing among his brothers, there will come an east wind, the Lord’s wind, coming up from the wilderness. His fountain will dry up, his spring shall be parched. The wind will strip the treasury, all the precious things.
16 Samarija æe opustjeti, jer se odmetnu od Boga svojega; oni æe pasti od maèa, djeca æe se njihova razmrskati i trudne žene njihove rasporiti.
Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, their children dashed to pieces, their pregnant women ripped open.
