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.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. [He cometh] as an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and rebelled against my law.
2 Izrael bo klical k meni: ›Moj Bog, mi te poznamo.‹
They shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee; [we], Israel.
3 Izrael je zavrgel stvar, ki je dobra; sovražnik ga bo zasledoval.
Israel hath cast off good: the enemy shall pursue 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 set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Tvoje tele, oh Samarija, te je zavrglo. Moja jeza se je vnela zoper njih. Kako dolgo bo, preden se bodo dokopali do nedolžnosti?
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be incapable of purity?
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 from Israel is this also: — a workman made it, and it is no God: for the calf of Samaria shall be [broken in] pieces.
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 have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Izrael je požrt; sedaj bodo med pogani kakor posoda, v kateri ni zadovoljstva.
Israel is swallowed up: now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 Kajti šli so gor v Asirijo, osamljen divji osel sam zase. Efrájim si je najel ljubimce.
For they are gone up [to] Assyria [as] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Da, čeprav so najemali med narodi, jih bom sedaj zbral in bodo malce žalovali zaradi bremena kralja princev.
Although they hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall begin to be straitened under the burden of the king of princes.
11 Ker je Efrájim naredil mnogo oltarjev za greh, bodo oltarji njemu v greh.
Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 Njemu sem napisal velike stvari iz svoje postave, vendar so bile štete kakor čudna stvar.«
I have prescribed unto him the manifold things of my law: they are counted [as] a strange thing.
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 sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; Jehovah hath no delight in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return 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.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
