Ozej 8
1 Nastavi šofar k svojim ustom. Prišel bo kakor orel zoper Gospodovo hišo, zato ker so prekršili mojo zavezo in se prekršili zoper mojo postavo.
Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated my law.
2 Izrael bo klical k meni: ›Moj Bog, mi te poznamo.‹
They will call on me: “O my God, we, Israel, know you.”
3 Izrael je zavrgel stvar, ki je dobra; sovražnik ga bo zasledoval.
Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him.
4 Nastavljali so si kralje, toda ne po meni. Nameščali so si prince, jaz pa tega nisem vedel. Iz svojega srebra in svojega zlata so si delali malike, da bi bili lahko iztrebljeni.
They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over.
5 Tvoje tele, oh Samarija, te je zavrglo. Moja jeza se je vnela zoper njih. Kako dolgo bo, preden se bodo dokopali do nedolžnosti?
Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
6 Kajti tudi to je bilo iz Izraela; delavec ga je naredil, zato to ni Bog, temveč bo tele iz Samarije zlomljeno na koščke.
For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders.
7 Kajti sejali so veter, želi bodo pa vihar. Ta nima stebla, brst ne obrodi moke. Če bo tako, da obrodi, ga bodo pogoltnili tujci.
For they will sow wind and reap a whirlwind. It does not have a firm stalk; the bud will yield no grain. But if it does yield, strangers will eat it.
8 Izrael je požrt; sedaj bodo med pogani kakor posoda, v kateri ni zadovoljstva.
Israel has been devoured. Now, among the nations, it has become like an unclean vessel.
9 Kajti šli so gor v Asirijo, osamljen divji osel sam zase. Efrájim si je najel ljubimce.
For they have gone up to Assur, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has given presents to his lovers.
10 Da, čeprav so najemali med narodi, jih bom sedaj zbral in bodo malce žalovali zaradi bremena kralja princev.
But even when they will have brought the nations together for the sake of money, now I will assemble them. And they will rest for a little while from the burden of the king and the leaders.
11 Ker je Efrájim naredil mnogo oltarjev za greh, bodo oltarji njemu v greh.
For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, and sanctuaries have become an offense for him.
12 Njemu sem napisal velike stvari iz svoje postave, vendar so bile štete kakor čudna stvar.«
I will write to him my intricate laws, which have been treated like strangers.
13 Žrtvujejo meso za klavno daritev mojih daritev in ga jedo, toda Gospod jih ne sprejema. Sedaj se bo spomnil njihove krivičnosti in obiskal njihove grehe; vrnili se bodo v Egipt.
They will offer victims, they will immolate flesh and will eat, and the Lord will not accept them. For now he will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sins: they will be turned back to Egypt.
14 »Kajti Izrael je pozabil svojega Stvarnika in zgradil templje in Juda je pomnožil utrjena mesta, toda na njegova mesta bom poslal ogenj in ta bo požrl njegove palače.
And Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built shrines. And Judah has increased its fortified cities. And I will send fire upon his cities, and it will devour its structures.
