Osija 5

1 Èujte, sveštenici, i pazi, dome Izrailjev, i slušaj, dome carev, jer je vama sud, jer ste zamka u Mispi i mreža razapeta na Tavoru.

“Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house! For this judgment is against you because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor.

2 Iz potaje klaše one koji zalaze; ali æu ih ja pokarati sve.

The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I will chastise them all.

3 Ja poznajem Jefrema i Izrailj nije sakriven od mene; jer se sada kurvaš, Jefreme, Izrailj se oskvrni.

I know all about Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me. For now, O Ephraim, you have turned to prostitution; Israel is defiled.

4 Ne upravljaju djela svojih da se vrate k Bogu svojemu; jer je duh kurvarski u njima i ne znaju Gospoda.

Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God, for a spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.

5 I ponositost Izrailjeva svjedoèi mu u oèi; zato æe Izrailj i Jefrem pasti za bezakonje svoje, pašæe i Juda s njima.

Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; even Judah stumbles with them.

6 Iæi æe s ovcama svojim i s govedima svojim da traže Gospoda, ali ga neæe naæi; uklonio se je od njih.

They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.

7 Iznevjeriše Gospoda, jer izrodiše tuðe sinove; zato æe ih proždrijeti mjesec dana s dostojanjem njihovijem.

They have been unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will devour them along with their land.

8 Trubite u rog u Gavaji, u trubu u Rami; vièite u Vetavenu: za tobom, Venijamine!

Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth-aven: Lead on, O Benjamin!

9 Jefrem æe opustjeti u dan kara; objavih meðu plemenima Izrailjevijem što æe zacijelo biti.

Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.

10 Knezovi su Judini kao oni koji premještaju meðu; izliæu na njih kao vodu jarost svoju.

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary stones; I will pour out My fury upon them like water.

11 Jefremu se èini nasilje, satrven je sudom, jer od svoje volje otide za zapoviješæu.

Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow worthless idols.

12 Zato æu ja biti Jefremu kao moljac i kao crv domu Judinu.

So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.

13 I Jefrem vidje bolest svoju i Juda svoju ranu, i otide Jefrem k Asircu, i Juda posla k caru koji bi ga branio; ali vas on ne može iscijeliti niti æe vas oprostiti rane vaše.

When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.

14 Jer æu ja biti kao lav Jefremu, kao laviæ domu Judinu; ja, ja æu zgrabiti, i otiæi æu, odnijeæu i niko neæe izbaviti.

For I am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can rescue them.

15 Otiæi æu i vratiæu se na svoje mjesto dokle ne priznadu svoju krivicu i potraže lice moje; kad budu u nevolji tražiæe me.

Then I will return to My place until they admit their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
