Hosea, 10

1. Israel is a leafy vine, its fruit has been suitable to him. According to the multitude of his fruit, he has multiplied altars; according to the fertility of his land, he has abounded with graven images.

1. Bujna je loza bio Izrael, rod bogat ona je nosila. I što mu je više rodilo plodova, to je više umnažao žrtvenike; što mu je bogatija zemlja bila, to je kiæenije dizao stupove.

2. His heart has been divided, so now they will cross the divide. He will break apart their images; he will plunder their sanctuaries.

2. Srce je njihovo prijevarno, okajat æe to oni! Porušit æe im On žrtvenike, polomiti stupove njihove.

3. For now they will say, “We have no king. For we do not fear the Lord. And what would a king do for us?”

3. Kazat æe tada: "Mi kralja nemamo jer se Jahve bojali nismo. TÓa èemu bi nam bio kralj?"

4. You speak words about a useless vision, and you will strike a deal. And judgment will spring up like bitterness in the furrows of the field.

4. Rijeèi prosiplju, lažno se kunu, sklapaju saveze; a pravo cvate k'o otrovno bilje u brazdama polja.

5. The inhabitants of Samaria have worshipped the calf of Bethaven. For the keepers of its temple, who had exulted over it in its glory, and its people, have mourned over it because it migrated from there.

5. Za tele betavensko strepe stanovnici Samarije; da, zbog njega tuguje narod njegov, sveæenici njegovi kukaju nad njim, nad slavom njegovom jer je od njega prognana.

6. If, indeed, it also has been offered to Assur, as a gift for the Avenging king, confusion will seize Ephraim, and Israel will be confounded by his own will.

6. A njega samog odvuæi æe u Asiriju na dar velikome kralju. Efrajima stid æe spopasti, crvenjet æe se Izrael zbog svoje odluke.

7. Samaria has required her king to pass by, like foam on the face of the water.

7. Uništena je Samarija. Njen kralj tek trunak je vodi na površju.

8. And the heights of the idol, the sin of Israel, will be utterly destroyed. The burr and the thistle will rise up over their altars. And they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us,’ and to the hills, ‘Fall on us.’

8. Bit æe razorene sramne uzvišice, grijeh Izraelov; trnje æe i èièak rasti po žrtvenicima njihovim. Tad æe govoriti brdima: "Pokrijte nas!" i bregovima: "Padnite na nas!"

9. From the days of Gibeah, Israel has sinned; in this, they remained firm. The battle in Gibeah against the sons of iniquity will not take hold of them.

9. Veæma no u dane gibejske griješio si, Izraele! A da se i ondje zaustaviše, ne bi li ih zatekao rat kao bezakonike gibejske?

10. According to my desire, I will correct them. And the peoples will be gathered together over them, while they are chastised for their two iniquities.

10. Kako mi se svidi, kaznit æu ih: sabrat æe se protiv njih narodi da ih za dvostruko kazne bezakonje.

11. Ephraim is a heifer that has been taught to love treading out the grain, but I passed over the beauty of her neck. I will rise over Ephraim. Judah will plough; Jacob will break up the soil for himself.

11. Efrajim je junica dobro nauèena koja rado vrše; šiju æu joj lijepu ujarmiti, upregnut æu Efrajima. Juda æe orati, Jakov branat'.

12. Sow for yourselves in justice, and harvest in the mouth of mercy; renew your fallow land. But the time when you will seek the Lord is the time when he will arrive who will teach you justice.

12. Sijte pravednost, požet æete ljubav; krèite zemlje nove: vrijeme je da Jahvu tražite dok ne doðe i podaždi vam pravdom.

13. You have ploughed impiety; you have harvested iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies. For you had confidence in your ways, in the multitude of your good fortunes.

13. Orali ste bezbožnost, želi bezakonje, jeli plod prijevare. Pouzdao si se u kola svoja i u mnoštvo svojih ratnika,

14. A tumult will arise among your people. And all your fortifications will be laid waste, just as Salman was destroyed by the house of him that judged Baal on the day of the battle, the mother having been crushed against her sons.

14. zato æe se vika bojna razlijegati tvojim gradovima i sve æe ti tvrðe biti razorene k'o što Šalman razori Bet Arbel u dan ratni, kada mater smrskaše na sinovima.

15. So has Bethel done to you, before the face of your malicious wickedness.

15. Evo što vam Betel uèini jer ste u zlu ogrezli: u zoru æe zavijek nestati kralja Izraelova!
