Hosea 8
1 "Put the trumpet to your lips. Something like an eagle is over the LORD's house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law.
Trubu na usta, i reci: kao orao ide na dom Gospodnji; jer prestupiše zavjet moj i otpadiše se od zakona mojega.
2 They cry to me, 'My God, we Israel acknowledge you.'
Izrailj æe vikati k meni: Bože moj; poznajemo te.
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
Izrailj je ostavio dobro; neprijatelj æe ga goniti.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I did not approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
Postavljaju careve, ali ne od mene; podižu knezove, za koje ja ne znam; od srebra svojega i od zlata svojega grade sebi likove, da se istrijebe.
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol. My anger burns against them. How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
Ostavilo te je tele tvoje, Samarijo; jarost se moja raspalila na njih; dokle se neæe moæi oèistiti?
6 For this is even from Israel. The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Jer je i ono od Izrailja; naèinio ga je umjetnik, i nije Bog; tele æe Samarijsko otiæi u komade.
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
Jer siju vjetar, pa æe žeti oluju; stabljike neæe imati, klica neæe dati brašna; da bi i dala, proždrijeæe ga tuðinci.
8 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
Proždrijeæe se Izrailj, biæe meðu narodima kao sud na kom nema miline.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
Jer otidoše k Asircu, divljemu magarcu, koji je sam za se; Jefrem naima ljubavnike.
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
A što naimaše meðu narodima, ja æu ih sabrati; a veæ i okusiše malo radi bremena cara nad knezovima.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
Što umnoži Jefrem oltare da griješi, biæe mu oltari na grijeh.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.
Napisah mu velike stvari u zakonu svom; ali mu se èine kao nešto tuðe.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But the LORD doesn't accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean things in Assyria.
Za žrtve, koje mi prinose, prinose meso, i jedu ga; Gospod ih ne prima; sada æe se opomenuti bezakonja njihova i pohodiæe grijehe njihove; oni æe se vratiti u Misir.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses."
Izrailj zaboravi tvorca svojega, i sagradi dvorove, i Juda umnoži tvrde gradove; ali æu pustiti oganj u gradove ovomu, i spaliæe dvorove onomu.
