Osija 8
1 Trubu na usta, i reci: kao orao ide na dom Gospodnji; jer prestupiše zavjet moj i otpadiše se od zakona mojega.
Put a trumpet to your lips! An eagle swoops over the house of the Lord because they have broken my agreement and rebelled against my law.
2 Izrailj æe vikati k meni: Bože moj; poznajemo te.
Israel calls out to me, “Our God, we know you!”
3 Izrailj je ostavio dobro; neprijatelj æe ga goniti.
But Israel has rejected what is good. An enemy will chase after them.
4 Postavljaju careve, ali ne od mene; podižu knezove, za koje ja ne znam; od srebra svojega i od zlata svojega grade sebi likove, da se istrijebe.
They appointed kings without my consent and chose princes without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.
5 Ostavilo te je tele tvoje, Samarijo; jarost se moja raspalila na njih; dokle se neæe moæi oèistiti?
Samaria, I reject this calf idol you have made! My anger burns against them! How long will you be incapable of being good?
6 Jer je i ono od Izrailja; naèinio ga je umjetnik, i nije Bog; tele æe Samarijsko otiæi u komade.
This idol is from Israel! A craftsman made it—it's not God! The calf of Samaria will be broken in pieces!
7 Jer siju vjetar, pa æe žeti oluju; stabljike neæe imati, klica neæe dati brašna; da bi i dala, proždrijeæe ga tuðinci.
Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head of grain; it will produce no flour. Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would swallow it all up.
8 Proždrijeæe se Izrailj, biæe meðu narodima kao sud na kom nema miline.
Israel is swallowed up; among the nations they are like something nobody wants.
9 Jer otidoše k Asircu, divljemu magarcu, koji je sam za se; Jefrem naima ljubavnike.
They have gone up to Assyria like a donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 A što naimaše meðu narodima, ja æu ih sabrati; a veæ i okusiše malo radi bremena cara nad knezovima.
Even though they have hired allies among the nations, I will gather them together. Then they will writhe under the burden of the great king.
11 Što umnoži Jefrem oltare da griješi, biæe mu oltari na grijeh.
Though Ephraim built many altars to make sin offerings, they instead became altars of sin!
12 Napisah mu velike stvari u zakonu svom; ali mu se èine kao nešto tuðe.
I wrote down for them the many aspects of my law, but they looked on them as foreign.
13 Za žrtve, koje mi prinose, prinose meso, i jedu ga; Gospod ih ne prima; sada æe se opomenuti bezakonja njihova i pohodiæe grijehe njihove; oni æe se vratiti u Misir.
They present me with their sacrifices, and they eat the meat, but I the Lord do not accept them. Now he will remember their wickedness, and punish them for their sins. They will return to Egypt.
14 Izrailj zaboravi tvorca svojega, i sagradi dvorove, i Juda umnoži tvrde gradove; ali æu pustiti oganj u gradove ovomu, i spaliæe dvorove onomu.
Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces; Judah has built many fortified cities. But I will rain fire down on their cities and burn up their fortresses.
