Osija 13
1 Kad Jefrem govoraše, bješe strah; bješe se uzvisio u Izrailju; ali se ogriješi o Vala, te umrije.
When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he 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 sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of artificers: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
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 as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff [that] is driven with the whirlwind from the floor, and as the smoke from the chimney.
4 A ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje Misirske, i Boga osim mene nijesi poznao, i osim mene nema ko bi spasao.
Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for [there is] no savior besides me.
5 Ja te poznah u pustinji, u zemlji zasušenoj.
I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drouth.
6 Imajuæi dobru pašu bijahu siti; ali èim se nasitiše, ponese se srce njihovo, zato me zaboraviše.
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Zato æu im biti kao lav, kao ris vrebaæu ih na putu.
Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe [them].
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 meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her whelps], and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 Propao si, Izrailju; ali ti je pomoæ u meni.
O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] thy help.
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 will be thy king: where [is any other] that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
11 Dadoh ti cara u gnjevu svom, i uzeh ga u jarosti svojoj.
I gave thee a king in my anger, and took [him] away in my wrath.
12 Svezano je bezakonje Jefremovo, ostavljen je grijeh njegov.
The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid.
13 Bolovi kao u porodilje spopašæe ga, sin je nerazuman, jer ne bi toliko vremena ostao u utrobi.
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he [is] an unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the breaking forth of children.
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)
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues, O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid 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 fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall pillage the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
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 shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
