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 hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor 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.
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth 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 therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4 Ali niko da se ne prepire ni da koga kori, jer je narod tvoj kao oni koji se prepiru sa sveštenikom.
Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5 Zato æeš pasti danju, i s tobom æe prorok pasti noæu, i pogubiæu mater tvoju.
Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy 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 thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 Što se više množiše, to mi više griješiše; slavu njihovu pretvoriæu u sramotu.
As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 Od grijeha naroda mojega hrane se, i lakome se na bezakonje njihovo.
They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on 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 punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10 I oni æe jesti, a neæe se nasititi; kurvaæe se, a neæe se množiti; jer prestaše služiti Gospodu.
For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
11 Kurvarstvo i vino i mast oduzima srce.
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
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 ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under 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 upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit 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 commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
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 thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The Lord liveth.
16 Jer je Izrailj uporan kao uporna junica; sada æe ih pasti Gospod kao jagnje na prostranu mjestu.
For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17 Jefrem se udružio s lažnijem bogovima; ostavi ga.
Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
18 Piæe se njihovo prevrnu, jednako se kurvaju; milo im je: dajte. Branièi su njegovi sramota.
Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
19 Vjetar æe ih stegnuti krilima svojim, i oni æe se posramiti od žrtava svojih.
The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
