Hosea 13
1 While Ephraim was speaking, a horror entered Israel, and he offended by Baal, and he died.
Ko je Efrájim trepetajoč govoril, se je povišal v Izraelu, toda ko se je pohujšal z Báalom, je umrl.
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.”
In sedaj bolj in bolj grešijo in iz svojega srebra so si naredili ulite podobe in malike, glede na svoje lastno razumevanje. Vsi ti so delo rokodelcev, o njih pravijo: ›Naj možje, ki žrtvujejo, poljubijo teleta.‹
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.
Zatorej bodo kakor jutranji oblak in kakor zgodnja rosa, ki izginja, kakor pleve, ki je z vrtinčastim vetrom odpihnjeno iz mlatišča in kakor dim iz dimnika.
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.
In vendar jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, od egiptovske dežele in razen mene ne boš poznal nobenega boga, kajti poleg mene ni rešitelja.
5 I knew you in the desert, in the land of solitude.
Poznal sem te v divjini, v deželi velike suše.
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.
Glede na njihov pašnik, tako so bili nasičeni; nasičeni so bili in njihovo srce je bilo povzdignjeno, zato so me pozabili.
7 And I will be to them like a lioness, like a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
Zatorej jim bom kakor lev, kakor leopard ob poti jih bom opazoval.
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.
Srečal jih bom kakor medvedka, ki je oropana svojih mladičev in raztrgal bom opno njihovega srca in tam jih bom požrl kakor lev. Divja žival jih bo trgala.
9 Perdition is yours, Israel. Your help is only in me.
Oh Izrael, uničeval si samega sebe, toda v meni je tvoja pomoč.
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.”
Jaz bom tvoj kralj. Kje je katerikoli drug, ki te lahko reši v vseh tvojih mestih? In tvoji sodniki, o katerih praviš: ›Daj mi kralja in prince?‹
11 I will give you a king in my wrath, and I will take him away in my indignation.
V svoji jezi sem ti dal kralja in v svojem besu sem ga vzel proč.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim has been bound; his sin has been engulfed.
Krivičnost Efrájima je zvezana, njegov greh je skrit.
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.
Bridkosti ženske v porodnih mukah bodo prišle nadenj. On je nespameten sin, kajti ne bi smel dolgo ostati v odprtini rojevanja otrok.
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. (Sheol h7585)
Odkupil jih bom pred oblastjo groba; odkupil jih bom pred smrtjo. ›Oh smrt, jaz bom tvoje kuge; ‹ ›Oh grob, jaz bom tvoje uničenje.‹ Kesanje bo skrito mojim očem. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Čeprav bi bil rodoviten med svojimi brati, bo prišel vzhodni veter, veter od Gospoda bo prišel gor iz divjine in njegov izvir se bo posušil in njegov studenec bo osušen. Oplenil bo zaklad vseh prijetnih posod.
16 Let Samaria perish, because she has urged her God towards bitterness. Let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be thrown down, and let their pregnant women be cut in two.
Samarija bo postala zapuščena, kajti uprla se je zoper svojega Boga. Padli bodo pod mečem, njihovi otročiči bodo razbiti na koščke in njihove nosečnice bodo razparane.
