Ozeasza 8
1 Przyłóż trąbę do ust twoich, a rzecz: Oto leci na dom Pański jako orzeł, przeto, że przestąpili przymierze moje, a przeciwko zakonowi mojemu wykroczyli.
[Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
2 Będąć do mnie wołać: Boże mój! My, lud twój Izrael, znamy cię;
My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
3 Ale Izrael opuścił dobro; przetoż go nieprzyjaciel gonić będzie.
But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
4 Oni stanowią królów, ale bezemnie: książąt obierają, do których się Ja nie znam; ze srebra swego i ze złota swego czynią sobie bałwany na swoje zginienie.
The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
5 Opuści ich cielec twój, o Samaryja! gdy się zapali na nich gniew mój; dokądże nie będą mogli przestrzegać niewinności?
You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
6 Wszak i on jest z Izraela; rzemieślnik go urobił, a nie jest Bogiem; bo się w proch obróci cielec Samaryjski.
[Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
7 Bo iż wiatr siali, wicher też żąć będą, a żadnego źdźbła mieć nie będą; urodzaj nie wyda mąki, a choćby wydał, cudzoziemcy to zjedzą.
[The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
8 Izrael pożarty będzie, wnetże będzie między poganami jako naczynie, z którego niemasz żadnej uciechy.
[The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
9 Przeto, że się oni do Assyryjczyka, osła leśnego, uciekają, który się samotnie chowa, a że Efraim sobie miłośników najmuje,
Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
10 A iż dary posyłali między pogan: przetoż i Ja ich wnetże zbiorę, owszem, już cośkolwiek ucierpieli dla brzemienia króla książąt.
But although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
11 Bo iż rozmnożył Efraim ołtarze ku grzeszeniu, stały mu się one ołtarze ku grzeszeniu.
Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
12 Spisałem mu wielkie rzeczy w zakonie moim; ale tak je sobie waży jako co obcego.
I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
13 Z ofiar darów moich ofiarują mięso i jedzą, ale ich Pan nie przyjmuje; już wspomnę nieprawości ich, i nawiedzę grzechy ich, że się oni do Egiptu nawracają;
They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in Egypt.
14 A że zapomniał Izrael stworzyciela swego, i nabudował kościołów, a Juda rozmnożył miasta obronne, przetoż poślę ogień na miasta jego, który pożre pałace jego.
[The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
