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 shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 Izrael bo klical k meni: ›Moj Bog, mi te poznamo.‹
Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.
3 Izrael je zavrgel stvar, ki je dobra; sovražnik ga bo zasledoval.
Israel hath cast off the thing that is 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 for themselves 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; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
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 was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but 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: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Izrael je požrt; sedaj bodo med pogani kakor posoda, v kateri ni zadovoljstva.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure.
9 Kajti šli so gor v Asirijo, osamljen divji osel sam zase. Efrájim si je najel ljubimce.
For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey 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.
Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Ker je Efrájim naredil mnogo oltarjev za greh, bodo oltarji njemu v greh.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
12 Njemu sem napisal velike stvari iz svoje postave, vendar so bile štete kakor čudna stvar.«
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were 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 my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and judge 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 fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his palaces.
