Hosea 10
1 Israel is a luxuriant vine, which putteth forth his fruit: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly pillars.
Izrael je prazna trta, sebi prinaša sad. Glede na množico svojega sadu je množil oltarje. Glede na dobroto njegove dežele so naredili čedne podobe.
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he shall smite their altars, he shall spoil their pillars.
Njihovo srce je razdeljeno, sedaj bodo najdeni pomanjkljivi. Zrušil bo njihove oltarje, oplenil njihove podobe.
3 Surely now shall they say, We have no king: for we fear not the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?
Kajti sedaj bodo rekli: ›Nimamo kralja, ker se nismo bali Gospoda. Kaj naj bi nam torej storil kralj?‹
4 They speak [vain] words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Govorili so besede, lažno prisegali pri sklepanju zaveze. Tako sodba poganja kakor pikasti mišjak na brazdah polja.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
Prebivalci Samarije bodo trepetali zaradi telet Bet Avena, kajti ljudstvo le-teh bo nad tem žalovalo in duhovniki le-teh, ki so se ob tem veselili, [bodo trepetali] zaradi slave [bogov zlatih telet], zato ker je ta odšla od njih.
6 It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Prav tako bo le-to odneseno v Asirijo za darilo kralju Jarebu. Efrájim bo prejel sramoto in Izrael se bo sramoval svojega lastnega nasveta.
7 [As for] Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water.
Glede Samarije, njen kralj je odsekan kakor pena na vodi.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
Prav tako bodo uničeni visoki kraji Avena, Izraelov greh. Trnje in osat bosta pognala na njihovih oltarjih in goram bodo rekli: »Pokrijte nas« in hribom: »Padite na nas.«
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood; that the battle against the children of iniquity should not overtake them in Gibeah.
Oh Izrael, grešil si od dni Gíbee. Tam so stali, bitka v Gíbei zoper otroke krivičnosti jih ni dosegla.
10 When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.
Po moji želji je, da naj jih kaznujem, in ljudstvo se bo zbralo zoper njih, ko se bodo zvezali v svojih dveh brazdah.
11 And Ephraim is an heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out [the corn]; but I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will set a rider on Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.
Efrájim je kakor telica, ki je poučena in rada mendra žito, toda jaz sem šel čez njen lepi vrat. Efrájima bom pripravil, da jaha, Juda bo oral, Jakob pa bo branal.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Sejte si v pravičnosti, žanjite v usmiljenju, pobranajte svoja neposejana tla, kajti čas je, da iščete Gospoda, dokler ne pride in na vas dežuje pravičnost.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Orali ste zlobnost, želi ste krivičnost, jedli ste sad laži, ker ste zaupali v svojo pot in v množico svojih mogočnih mož.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
Zato bo med tvojim ljudstvom vstal nemir in vse tvoje trdnjave bodo oplenjene, kakor je na dan bitke Šalmán oplenil Bet Arbeél. Mati je bila raztreščena na koščke na svojih otrocih.
15 So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: at daybreak shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.
Tako vam bo storil Betel zaradi vaše velike zlobnosti. Zjutraj bo Izraelov kralj popolnoma iztrebljen.
