Ozej 7
1 Ko sem hotel ozdraviti Izraela, takrat je bila odkrita krivičnost Efrájima in zlobnost Samarije, kajti zagrešili so neresnico. In tat vstopa in krdelo roparjev pleni zunaj.
when I heal Israel, Ephraim's sins will be exposed, together with the evil actions of Samaria. They deal in lies; they are thieves who break into homes and rob people on the outside.
2 V svojih srcih pa ne preudarijo, da se spominjam vse njihove zlobnosti. Sedaj so jih njihova lastna dejanja obkrožila; pred mojim obrazom so.
But they don't realize that I remember all of their wickedness. Their sins surround them and are always before me.
3 Kralja razveseljujejo s svojo zlobnostjo in prince s svojimi lažmi.
They make their king happy with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 Vsi so zakonolomci, kakor peč, ki jo segreje pek, ki preneha kuriti, potem ko je pregnetel testo, dokler to ni vzhajano.
All of them are adulterers, burning with lust like an oven whose fire stays hot, even though it is not tended by the baker, having left the dough to rise after kneading.
5 Na dan našega kralja so ga princi naredili bolnega z vinskimi mehovi; svojo roko podaja s posmehljivci.
On the king's birthday the princes drink so much they are sick, while he joins in with those who mock.
6 Kajti svoje srce so pripravili kakor peč, medtem ko prežijo v zasedi. Njihov pek spi vso noč; zjutraj ta gori kakor plameneč ogenj.
Their minds are fired up like an oven; they go to him with their plots. All through the night their anger burns; in the morning it blazes out uncontrollably.
7 Vsi so vroči kakor peč in požrli so svoje sodnike; vsi njihovi kralji so padli; tam ni nobenega izmed njih, ki kliče k meni.
All of them are as hot as a burning oven, and they exhaust their leaders. All of their kings have fallen, and not one of them calls on me.
8 Efrájim se je pomešal med ljudstvo, Efrájim je neobrnjen kolač.
Ephraim mixes with the foreign nations; he is as useless as half-baked bread!
9 Tujci so požrli njegovo moč, on pa tega ne spoznava. Da, sivi lasje so tu in tam na njem, vendar ne spoznava.
Foreigners drain his strength, and he doesn't even realize it. His hair is turning grey and he doesn't even notice.
10 Izraelov ponos pričuje v njegov obraz, oni pa se ne vrnejo h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu niti ga zaradi vsega tega ne iščejo.
Israel's pride testifies against him, but for all of this he still does not return to the Lord their God or look for him.
11 Tudi Efrájim je podoben neumni golobici brez srca; kličejo k Egiptu, hodijo v Asirijo.
Ephraim is like a dove, foolish and without sense—calling to Egypt, then going to Assyria.
12 Ko bodo šli, bom nadnje razširil svojo mrežo. Sklatil jih bom dol kakor perjad neba, kaznoval jih bom, kakor je slišala njihova skupnost.
When they go I will throw my net over them; I will bring them down like wild birds. When I hear them flocking together I will punish them.
13 Gorje jim! Kajti zbežali so od mene. Naj jim bo namenjeno uničenje! Ker so se prekršili zoper mene. Čeprav sem jih odkupil, so oni kljub temu zoper mene govorili laži.
What disaster is coming to them because they have strayed from me! Destruction is coming to them because they have rebelled against me! I wish I could redeem them, but they tell lies about me.
14 In niso klicali k meni s svojim srcem, ko so tulili na svojih posteljah; zbrali so se zaradi žita in vina in se uprli zoper mene.
They do not cry out to me with sincere minds; instead they lie on their beds howling. They assemble together and gash themselves to gain grain and new wine, but they turn away from me.
15 Čeprav sem utrdil in okrepil njihove lakte, so zoper mene še vedno domišljali vragolijo.
I myself trained them and made them strong, but now they plot evil against me.
16 Vračajo se, toda ne k Najvišjemu; so kot varljiv lok; njihovi princi bodo padli pod mečem zaradi besa njihovega jezika. To bo v njihov posmeh v egiptovski deželi.
They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a useless bow. Their leaders will be killed by the sword because of their cursing. Because of this they will be ridiculed in Egypt.
