Hosea, 13
1. While Ephraim was speaking, a horror entered Israel, and he offended by Baal, and he died.
1. Kad je Efrajim govorio, strah je zadavao, jer bijaše on prvak u Izraelu, al' ogriješi se Baalom i poginu.
2. And now they add that they will be sinning more. And they have made themselves an image cast from their silver, just like the image of idols; but the whole thing has been made by craftsmen. These say to them, “Sacrifice men, you who adore calves.”
2. I sad još griješe oni od srebra praveæ' sebi kipove, kumire po svojoj mašti; svi su oni djelo rukotvorca! Tima - vele - žrtvujte, ljudi neka cjelivaju teoce!
3. For this reason, they will be like the morning clouds, and like the morning dew that passes away, just like the dust that is driven by a whirlwind away from the threshing floor, and like the smoke from a chimney.
3. Zato, bit æe oni kao oblak jutarnji, kao rosa koje brzo nestaje, kao pljeva raznesena s gumna, kao dim što kroz otvor izlazi.
4. But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, and you will not know God apart from me, and there is no Savior except me.
4. A ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj sve od zemlje egipatske: drugog Boga osim mene ne ljubi! Osim mene nema spasitelja.
5. I knew you in the desert, in the land of solitude.
5. Ja te ljubljah u pustinji, u zemlji suhoj.
6. According to their pastures, they have been filled up and have been satisfied. And they have lifted up their heart, and they have forgotten me.
6. Ja ih pasoh, i siti bijahu; nasiæenima srce se uzoholi; i tako me zaboraviše.
7. And I will be to them like a lioness, like a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
7. Stoga æu im biti kao lav, kao leopard što na putu vreba;
8. I will run to meet them like a bear that has been robbed of her young, and I will split open the middle of their liver. And I will devour them there like a lion; the beast of the field will tear them apart.
8. kao medvjedica kojoj ugrabiše mlade, ja æu se na njih baciti, rastrgat' im grudi do srca; k'o lav æu proždrijeti meso njihovo, zvijeri æe ih poljske rastrgati.
9. Perdition is yours, Israel. Your help is only in me.
9. Uništit æu te, Izraele, i tko æe ti pomoæi?
10. Where is your king? Now, especially, let him save you in all your cities, and from your judges, about whom you said, “Give me kings and princes.”
10. TÓa gdje ti je kralj da te spasi, gdje tvoji knezovi da te brane - oni za koje si govorio: "Daj mi kralja i knezove!"
11. I will give you a king in my wrath, and I will take him away in my indignation.
11. U gnjevu svom kralja ti dadoh i u srdžbi ti ga uzimam.
12. The iniquity of Ephraim has been bound; his sin has been engulfed.
12. Dobro se èuva bezakonje Efrajimovo, grijeh je njegov dobro pohranjen.
13. The pains of giving birth will reach him. He is an unwise son. For now he will not remain firm during the contrition of his sons.
13. Doðoše na nj trudovi porodiljski, ali on je ludo èedo, ne izlazi na vrijeme iz utrobe materine!
14. I will free them from the hand of death; from death I will redeem them. Death, I will be your death. Hell, I will be your deadly wound. Consolation is hidden from my eyes.
14. Ja æu ih izbaviti od vlasti Podzemlja, od smrti æu ih spasiti! Gdje je tvoja kuga, o smrti, gdje pomor tvoj, Podzemlje! Samilost se sakri od mojih oèiju!
15. For he will make a division among brothers. The Lord will bring a burning wind, rising up from the desert, and it will dry up his streams, and it will make his fountain desolate, and he will tear apart every collection of desirable useful things.
15. Tako je rodan meðu braæom Efrajim, ali æe doæi vjetar istoèni, vjetar Jahvin iz pustinje: isušit æe mu izvore, presahnuti studence, opljaèkat mu riznicu, blago odnijeti.
