1When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
1Keď liečim Izraela, zjavuje sa neprávosť Efraimova a všelijaká zlosť Samárie, lebo robia falošne, a ide zlodej; vonku rabuje rota zbojníkov.
2And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
2Ani si nepovedia vo svojom srdci, že pamätám na všetku ich nešľachetnosť. Teraz ich obkľučujú ich skutky; sú pred mojou tvárou.
3They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
3Svojou nešľachetnosťou obveseľujú kráľa a svojimi klamstvami kniežatá.
4They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
4Všetci, koľko ich je, cudzoložia; podobní sú peci, vykúrenej od pekára; ten, kto roznecuje, prestane roznecovať iba od zarobenia cesta do jeho skysnutia.
5In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
5Deň nášho kráľa? Chorým ho urobily kniežatá rozpálením od vína; naťahuje svoju ruku s posmievačmi.
6For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
6Lebo priblížili svoje srdce ku svojim úkladom ako pec; ich pekár spí celú noc; ráno horí ich srdce jako plápolajúci oheň.
7They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
7Všetci sú rozpálení jako pec a žerú svojich sudcov; všetci ich kráľovia popadali; nie je medzi nimi nikoho, kto by volal ku mne.
8Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
8Efraim sa smiešal s národami; Efraim je podpopolným chlebom neobráteným.
9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
9Cudzinci požierajú jeho silu, a on nevie o tom, i šedina ho už poprskala, a on nevie ničoho.
10And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
10Pýcha Izraelova svedčí do jeho tvári, ale sa nenavrátili k Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, ani ho nehľadajú napriek všetkému tomu.
11Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
11A tak je Efraim ako sprostá holubica, bez srdca, ktorá nemá rozumu. Volajú Egypt, idú do Assýrie!
12When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
12Hneď, ako odídu, rozostriem na nich svoju sieť; stiahnem ich dolu jako nebeské vtáctvo; budem ich trestať podľa toho, čo sa slýchalo v ich shromaždení.
13Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
13Oj, beda im, že odišli odo mňa! Zkaza im, pretože zradne odpadli odo mňa, kým som ich predsa ja vykúpil, a oni hovoria proti mne lži.
14And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
14Nekričia ku mne svojím srdcom, ale zavýjajú na svojich ložiach; shromažďujú sa pre obilie a pre vínnu šťavu; uhli proti mne.
15Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
15A ja, ktorý som ich trestal nato, aby som posilnil ich ramená, proti mne vymýšľajú zlé.
16They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
16Obracajú sa, ale nie k Najvyššiemu; sú jako klamné lučište; ich kniežatá padnú mečom, od zúrenia ich jazyka; to bude na nich posmech v Egyptskej zemi.
