Ozej 10
1 Izrael je prazna trta, sebi prinaša sad. Glede na množico svojega sadu je množil oltarje. Glede na dobroto njegove dežele so naredili čedne podobe.
A luxuriant vine is Israel. He bore fruit lavishly. In proportion to the increase of his fruit he increased altars to idols. In proportion to the beauty of his land he made beautiful the sacred pillars.
2 Njihovo srce je razdeljeno, sedaj bodo najdeni pomanjkljivi. Zrušil bo njihove oltarje, oplenil njihove podobe.
Their heart is false, now they must be punished. God himself will break the necks of their altars, he will destroy their sacred pillars.
3 Kajti sedaj bodo rekli: ›Nimamo kralja, ker se nismo bali Gospoda. Kaj naj bi nam torej storil kralj?‹
Yes, soon they will be saying, “We have no king, for we have not revered the Lord, and a king, what could he do for us anyway?”
4 Govorili so besede, lažno prisegali pri sklepanju zaveze. Tako sodba poganja kakor pikasti mišjak na brazdah polja.
Speaking words, perjuring themselves, making agreements, and litigation springs up like a poisonous weed in a plowed field.
5 Prebivalci Samarije bodo trepetali zaradi telet Bet Avena, kajti ljudstvo le-teh bo nad tem žalovalo in duhovniki le-teh, ki so se ob tem veselili, [bodo trepetali] zaradi slave [bogov zlatih telet], zato ker je ta odšla od njih.
The inhabitants of Samaria will tremble with fear for their calf of Beth-aven. Its people will mourn over it, and so will its priests, who had rejoiced for its glory, now departed from it.
6 Prav tako bo le-to odneseno v Asirijo za darilo kralju Jarebu. Efrájim bo prejel sramoto in Izrael se bo sramoval svojega lastnega nasveta.
It will be carried off to Assyria as a present to the patron king. Disgrace will Ephraim bear and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.
7 Glede Samarije, njen kralj je odsekan kakor pena na vodi.
As for Samaria, her king will disappear, like foam on the face of the waters.
8 Prav tako bodo uničeni visoki kraji Avena, Izraelov greh. Trnje in osat bosta pognala na njihovih oltarjih in goram bodo rekli: »Pokrijte nas« in hribom: »Padite na nas.«
And the high places of Aven will be destroyed, the shrines of Israel’s sin, thorns and thistles will grow on their altars, and they will say to the mountains, “Cover us,” and to the hills, “Fall upon us.”
9 Oh Izrael, grešil si od dni Gíbee. Tam so stali, bitka v Gíbei zoper otroke krivičnosti jih ni dosegla.
From the time of Gibeah, Israel has sinned. There they took their stand. Will not war overtake them in Gibeah because of the wicked?
10 Po moji želji je, da naj jih kaznujem, in ljudstvo se bo zbralo zoper njih, ko se bodo zvezali v svojih dveh brazdah.
When I please, I will punish them. Nations will gather against them to chain them for their double crimes.
11 Efrájim je kakor telica, ki je poučena in rada mendra žito, toda jaz sem šel čez njen lepi vrat. Efrájima bom pripravil, da jaha, Juda bo oral, Jakob pa bo branal.
Ephraim indeed was a trained heifer that loved to thresh grain, and I myself laid a yoke upon his fair neck, I made Ephraim draw and Judah must plow, Jacob must turn the soil for himself.
12 Sejte si v pravičnosti, žanjite v usmiljenju, pobranajte svoja neposejana tla, kajti čas je, da iščete Gospoda, dokler ne pride in na vas dežuje pravičnost.
Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruits of love. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, so righteousness may come to you.
13 Orali ste zlobnost, želi ste krivičnost, jedli ste sad laži, ker ste zaupali v svojo pot in v množico svojih mogočnih mož.
But you have plowed wickedness, iniquity have you reaped. You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own path, in the multitude of your warriors,
14 Zato bo med tvojim ljudstvom vstal nemir in vse tvoje trdnjave bodo oplenjene, kakor je na dan bitke Šalmán oplenil Bet Arbeél. Mati je bila raztreščena na koščke na svojih otrocih.
the alarm of war will sound in your cities and all your fortresses will be ruined, as Shalman laid in ruins Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces over their children.
15 Tako vam bo storil Betel zaradi vaše velike zlobnosti. Zjutraj bo Izraelov kralj popolnoma iztrebljen.
Thus will I do to you, Bethel, because of the enormity of your wickedness. When dawn breaks, so will the king of Israel be broken.
