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 the horn to your mouth! An eagle swoops down upon the house of the Lord because they have transgressed my covenant, trespassed against my law.
2 Izrailj æe vikati k meni: Bože moj; poznajemo te.
To me they continually cry, ‘My God, we Israel, we know you!’
3 Izrailj je ostavio dobro; neprijatelj æe ga goniti.
But Israel has spurned that which is good, so let the foe pursue him.
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 themselves have made kings but without my consent. They have made princes but without my knowledge. Out of their silver and gold, they have made idols to their destruction!
5 Ostavilo te je tele tvoje, Samarijo; jarost se moja raspalila na njih; dokle se neæe moæi oèistiti?
Your calf idol, O Samaria, is distasteful. My anger is kindled against them. How long will they escape punishment?
6 Jer je i ono od Izrailja; naèinio ga je umjetnik, i nije Bog; tele æe Samarijsko otiæi u komade.
Israel made the thing: a workman made it. It is not a god! Samaria’s calf will become mere splinters.
7 Jer siju vjetar, pa æe žeti oluju; stabljike neæe imati, klica neæe dati brašna; da bi i dala, proždrijeæe ga tuðinci.
They sow the wind and will reap the whirlwind. A shoot which has no stalk, yields no fruit If it should yield, strangers would devour it.
8 Proždrijeæe se Izrailj, biæe meðu narodima kao sud na kom nema miline.
Israel is devoured. Already it lies discarded among the nations like a worthless pot.
9 Jer otidoše k Asircu, divljemu magarcu, koji je sam za se; Jefrem naima ljubavnike.
For by themselves they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey which wanders by itself. Ephraim pays for love
10 A što naimaše meðu narodima, ja æu ih sabrati; a veæ i okusiše malo radi bremena cara nad knezovima.
but even if they sell themselves among the nations, I will round them up. Soon the kings and princes will writhe under the burden of tribute!
11 Što umnoži Jefrem oltare da griješi, biæe mu oltari na grijeh.
For as many altars as Ephraim has erected, they are to him altars for sinning,
12 Napisah mu velike stvari u zakonu svom; ali mu se èine kao nešto tuðe.
were I to write for him ever so many instructions, they would be regarded as from a stranger.
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.
The people love sacrifice, and so they offer sacrifices, meat, and so they eat it, although the Lord is not pleased with them, so now he will remember their guilt, and punish their sins. Back to Egypt with them!
14 Izrailj zaboravi tvorca svojega, i sagradi dvorove, i Juda umnoži tvrde gradove; ali æu pustiti oganj u gradove ovomu, i spaliæe dvorove onomu.
For Israel forgot his Maker and built palaces, and Judah multiplied fortified cities. But I will send fire upon her cities, and it will devour her strongholds.
