Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Kad Izrailj bješe dijete, ljubljah ga, i iz Misira dozvah sina svojega.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Koliko ih zvaše, toliko oni odlaziše od njih; prinosiše žrtve Valima, kadiše likovima.
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
Ja uèih Jefrema hoditi držeæi ga za ruke, ali ne poznaše da sam ih ja lijeèio.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
Vukoh ih uzicama èovjeèjim, užima ljubavnijem; i bijah im kao oni koji im skidaju jaram s èeljusti, i davah im hranu.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
Neæe se vratiti u zemlju Misirsku, nego æe mu Asirac biti car, jer se ne htješe obratiti.
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
I maè æe stajati u gradovima njegovijem, i potræe prijevornice njegove i proždrijeti za namjere njihove.
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
Narod je moj prionuo za otpad od mene; zovu ga k višnjemu, ali se nijedan ne podiže.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Kako da te dam, Jefreme? da te predam, Izrailju? kako da uèinim od tebe kao od Adame? da te obratim da budeš kao Sevojim? Ustreptalo je srce moje u meni, uskolebala se utroba moja od žalosti.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
Neæu izvršiti ljutoga gnjeva svojega, neæu opet zatrti Jefrema; jer sam ja Bog a ne èovjek, svetac usred tebe; neæu doæi na grad.
10 They shall walk after Yhwh: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
Iæi æe oni za Gospodom; on æe rikati kao lav; kad rikne, sa strahom æe dotrèati sinovi s mora;
11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith Yhwh.
Sa strahom æe dotrèati iz Misira kao ptica, i kao golub iz zemlje Asirske; i naseliæu ih u kuæama njihovijem, govori Gospod.
12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
Opkolio me je Jefrem lažju i dom Izrailjev prijevarom; ali Juda još vlada s Bogom i vjeran je sa svetima.
