Hosea 5
1 Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
Poslušajte to, oh duhovniki in pazljivo prisluhnite, vi, Izraelova hiša in nagnite uho, oh kraljeva hiša, kajti sodba je zoper vas, ker ste bili zanka na Micpi in mreža, razpeta na [gori] Tabor.
2 And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
Puntarji so prodorni, da naredijo pokol, čeprav sem bil jaz oštevalec njih vseh.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
Poznam Efrájima in Izrael ni skrit pred menoj, kajti sedaj, oh Efrájim, zagrešuješ vlačugarstvo in Izrael je omadeževan.«
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
Svojih ravnanj ne bodo snovali, da bi se obrnili k svojemu Bogu, kajti duh vlačugarstev je v njihovi sredi in niso spoznali Gospoda.
5 And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
Izraelov ponos pričuje v njegov obraz, zatorej bosta Izrael in Efrájim padla v svoji krivičnosti. Tudi Juda bo padel z njima.
6 With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
Šli bodo s svojimi tropi in s svojimi čredami, da bi iskali Gospoda, toda ne bodo ga našli. On se je oddaljil od njih.
7 They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
Zahrbtno so ravnali zoper Gospoda, kajti zaplodili so tuje otroke. Sedaj jih bo požrl mesec z njihovimi deleži.
8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
Zatrobite na kornét v Gíbei in na trobento v Rami, kričite glasno pri Bet Avenu, za teboj, oh Benjamin.
9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
Efrájim bo zapuščen na dan oštevanja. Med Izraelovimi rodovi sem dal spoznati tisto, kar zagotovo bo.
10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
Judovi princi so bili kakor tisti, ki odstranjujejo mejo, zatorej bom nanje izlil svoj bes kakor vodo.
11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
Efrájim je zatiran in razklan na sodbi, zato ker je voljan hodil za [človeško] zapovedjo.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
»Zato bom Efrájimu kakor molj, Judovi hiši pa kakor gniloba.
13 And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
Ko je Efrájim videl svojo slabost in Juda videl svojo rano, takrat je šel Efrájim k Asircu in poslal h kralju Jarebu in vendar vas on ni mogel ozdraviti niti ozdraviti vaše rane.
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
Kajti jaz bom Efrájimu kakor lev in kakor mlad lev Judovi hiši. Jaz, celó jaz, bom raztrgal in odšel proč, jaz bom odnesel in nihče ga ne bo rešil.
15 I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
Šel bom in se vrnil na svoj kraj, dokler ne bodo priznali svojega prestopka in iskali mojega obraza. V svoji stiski me bodo zgodaj iskali.«
