Hosea 7 (SRPONSTL)

1Kada bih da lečim Izrailja, otkriva se Jefremova krivica i zlo Samarije; jer su prevrtljivci, lopov provaljuje i banda je ubica na ulici.When I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim will be exposed, as well as the crimes of Samaria. For they practice deceit and thieves break in; bandits raid in the streets.

2A u srcu svome oni i ne misle da ja pamtim sva zlodela njina. Sada su ih okružila sva njihova dela, evo ih pred licem mojim.But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.

3Zlodelima cara razgaljuju i lažima svojim glavare.They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.

4Svi su oni preljubnici, kao peć su usplamtela koju pekar prestaje da žari od kada je zamesio testo, pa dokle mu ne uskisne od kvasca.They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.

5Na dan našega cara klonuli su glavari razgaljeni vinom i on pruži svoju ruku podsmevačima.The princes are inflamed with wine on the day of our king; so he joins hands with those who mock him.

6Prišli su mu i plamteli srcem u svojoj obmani. Spavala je kao pekar jarost njina cele noći, a ujutro se razgnevila kao plamen vatre.For they prepare their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

7Svi su oni zažareni kao peć i progutaće svoje sudije; padaju svi njihovi carevi, a među njima nema nikog da pozove mene.All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls upon Me.

8Jefrem je sa narodima, sebe je izmešao. Jefrem je postao pogača neokrenuta.Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.

9Tuđinci mu snagu jedu, a on to i ne zna; sede kose posuše ga, a on to i ne zna.Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.

10Izrailju ponos svedoči u lice, alʼ se ne okreću Gospodu, svom Bogu; i u svemu tome oni ga ne traže.Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.

11A Jefrem je postao kao golubica lakoverna što razuma nema! Eno, zovu Egipat i odlaze u Asiriju.So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove—calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.

12Ali kada odu, nad njima ću da raširim svoju mrežu. Kao ptice nebeske zbaciću ih, kazniću ih kad ih čujem u njihovom zboru.As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.

13Jao njima, jer su od mene pobegli! Opustošiće jer su se protiv mene pobunili. Ja bi da ih otkupim, a oni o meni laži objavljuju.Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! Though I would redeem them, they speak lies against Me.

14Nisu srcem vapili meni, nego su kukali na svojim posteljama. Zbog žita i mladog vina sebe seku i od mene se okreću.They do not cry out to Me from their hearts when they wail upon their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine, but turn away from Me.

15A ja sam ih krepio, snažio im ruke, a oni su mi zlo mislili.Although I trained and strengthened their arms, they plot evil against Me.

16I oni se nisu okrenuli Višnjem; postali su kao luk labavi. Pašće oni od mača, a njihove vođe od gorčine sopstvenog jezika. A to će im u Egiptu biti na porugu.They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the cursing of their tongue; for this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.
