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, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is 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, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.
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 shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together.
4 Ali niko da se ne prepire ni da koga kori, jer je narod tvoj kao oni koji se prepiru sa sveštenikom.
But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest.
5 Zato æeš pasti danju, i s tobom æe prorok pasti noæu, i pogubiæu mater tvoju.
And thou shalt fall today, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent.
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 have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
7 Što se više množiše, to mi više griješiše; slavu njihovu pretvoriæu u sramotu.
According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
8 Od grijeha naroda mojega hrane se, i lakome se na bezakonje njihovo.
They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity.
9 Zato æe biti svešteniku kao narodu; pohodiæu ga za putove njegove i platiæu mu za djela njegova.
And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices.
10 I oni æe jesti, a neæe se nasititi; kurvaæe se, a neæe se množiti; jer prestaše služiti Gospodu.
And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing his law.
11 Kurvarstvo i vino i mast oduzima srce.
Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the 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 have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them, and they have committed fornication 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 offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be adulteresses.
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 visit upon your daughters when they shell commit fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery: because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten.
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.
If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend: and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not swear: The Lord liveth.
16 Jer je Izrailj uporan kao uporna junica; sada æe ih pasti Gospod kao jagnje na prostranu mjestu.
For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place.
17 Jefrem se udružio s lažnijem bogovima; ostavi ga.
Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone.
18 Piæe se njihovo prevrnu, jednako se kurvaju; milo im je: dajte. Branièi su njegovi sramota.
Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them.
19 Vjetar æe ih stegnuti krilima svojim, i oni æe se posramiti od žrtava svojih.
The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices.
