Osija 4
1 Èujte rijeè Gospodnju, sinovi Izrailjevi, jer Gospod ima parbu sa stanovnicima zemaljskim; jer nema istine ni milosti ni znanja za Boga u zemlji;
Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!
2 Zaklinju se krivo i lažu i ubijaju i kradu i èine preljubu, zastraniše, i jedna krv stiže drugu.
Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
3 Zato æe tužiti zemlja, i što god živi na njoj prenemoæi æe, i zvijeri poljske i ptice nebeske; i ribe æe morske pomrijeti.
Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
4 Ali niko da se ne prepire ni da koga kori, jer je narod tvoj kao oni koji se prepiru sa sveštenikom.
But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.
5 Zato æeš pasti danju, i s tobom æe prorok pasti noæu, i pogubiæu mater tvoju.
You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—
6 Izgibe moj narod, jer je bez znanja; kad si ti odbacio znanje, i ja æu tebe odbaciti da mi ne vršiš službe sveštenièke; kad si zaboravio Boga svojega, i ja æu zaboraviti sinove tvoje.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
7 Što se više množiše, to mi više griješiše; slavu njihovu pretvoriæu u sramotu.
The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace.
8 Od grijeha naroda mojega hrane se, i lakome se na bezakonje njihovo.
They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.
9 Zato æe biti svešteniku kao narodu; pohodiæu ga za putove njegove i platiæu mu za djela njegova.
And it shall be like people, like priest. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
10 I oni æe jesti, a neæe se nasititi; kurvaæe se, a neæe se množiti; jer prestaše služiti Gospodu.
They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have stopped obeying the LORD.
11 Kurvarstvo i vino i mast oduzima srce.
Promiscuity, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
12 Narod moj pita drvo svoje, i palica mu njegova odgovara; jer duh kurvarski zavodi ih da se kurvaju otstupivši od Boga svojega.
My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit of prostitution leads them astray and they have played the harlot against their God.
13 Navrh gora prinose žrtve, i na humovima kade pod hrastovima, topolama i brijestovima, jer im je sjen dobar; zato se kurvaju kæeri vaše i snahe vaše èine preljubu.
They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
14 Neæu karati kæeri vaših kad se kurvaju, ni snaha vaših kad èine preljubu; jer se oni odvajaju s kurvama i prinose žrtve s nevaljalijem ženama; i narod nerazumni propašæe.
I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
15 Ako se ti kurvaš, Izrailju, neka ne griješi Juda; i ne idite u Galgal niti idite u Vetaven, i ne kunite se: tako da je živ Gospod.
Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-aven, and do not swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’
16 Jer je Izrailj uporan kao uporna junica; sada æe ih pasti Gospod kao jagnje na prostranu mjestu.
For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?
17 Jefrem se udružio s lažnijem bogovima; ostavi ga.
Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!
18 Piæe se njihovo prevrnu, jednako se kurvaju; milo im je: dajte. Branièi su njegovi sramota.
When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.
19 Vjetar æe ih stegnuti krilima svojim, i oni æe se posramiti od žrtava svojih.
The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
