Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt.
Dok Izrael bijaše dijete, ja ga ljubljah, iz Egipta dozvah sina svoga.
2 They called them, but they went thus from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to images.
Al' što sam ih više zvao, sve su dalje od mene odlazili; baalima su žrtvovali, kadili kumirima.
3 I ledde Ephraim also, as one shoulde beare them in his armes: but they knewe not that I healed them.
A ja sam Efrajima hodati učio, držeći ga za ruke njegove; al' oni ne spoznaše da sam se za njih brinuo.
4 I led them with cordes of a man, euen with bandes of loue, and I was to them, as hee that taketh off the yoke from their iawes, and I laide the meat vnto them.
Užima za ljude privlačio sam ih, konopcima ljubavi; bijah im k'o onaj koji u čeljustima njihovim žvale opušta; nad njega se saginjah i davah mu jesti.
5 He shall no more returne into the lande of Egypt: but Asshur shalbe his King, because they refused to conuert.
U zemlju egipatsku on će se vratiti, Asirac će mu kraljem biti, jer se ne htjede vratiti k meni.
6 And the sworde shall fall on his cities, and shall consume his barres, and deuoure them, because of their owne counsels.
Mač će bješnjeti njegovim gradovima, uništiti prijevornice njegove, proždirat će zbog spletaka njegovih.
7 And my people are bent to rebellion against me: though they called them to the most hie, yet none at all would exalt him.
Narod je moj sklon otpadu; i premda ga k Višnjem dozivlju, nitko da ga podigne.
8 Howe shall I giue thee vp, Ephraim? howe shall I deliuer thee, Israel? how shall I make thee, as Admah? howe shall I set thee, as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within mee: my repentings are rouled together.
Kako da te dadem, Efrajime, kako da te predam, Izraele! Kako da te dadem kao Admu, da učinim s tobom kao Sebojimu? Srce mi je uznemireno, uzavrela mi sva utroba:
9 I wil not execute ye fiercenesse of my wrath: I will not returne to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man, the holy one in the middes of thee, and I will not enter into the citie.
neću više gnjevu dati maha, neću opet zatirati Efrajima, jer ja sam Bog, a ne čovjek: Svetac posred tebe - neću više gnjevan dolaziti!
10 They shall walke after the Lord: he shall roare like a lyon: when hee shall roare, then the children of the West shall feare.
Za Jahvom će ići on, k'o lav on će rikati; a kad zarikao bude, sinovi će mu veselo dohrliti sa zapada;
11 They shall feare as a sparrow out of Egypt, and as a doue of the lande of Asshur, and I will place them in their houses, sayth the Lord.
k'o ptice će dohrliti iz Egipta, k'o golubica iz zemlje asirske, i naselit ću ih po kućama njihovim - riječ je Jahvina.
12 Ephraim copasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Iudah yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the Saints.
Opkolio me lažju Efrajim i prijevarom Izraelov dom. A i Juda još je nestalan Bogu, Svecu vjernome.
