¹When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers assaileth without.

¹Keď liečim Izraela, zjavuje sa neprávosť Efraimova a všelijaká zlosť Samárie, lebo robia falošne, a ide zlodej; vonku rabuje rota zbojníkov.

²And they say not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now do their own doings encompass them; 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 all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring [the fire] 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 made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners.

⁵Deň nášho kráľa? Chorým ho urobily kniežatá rozpálením od vína; naťahuje svoju ruku s posmievačmi.

⁶For they have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth like 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 devour 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 mixeth himself with the peoples; 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, and he knoweth [it] 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 Jehovah 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.

¹¹And Ephraim is become like a silly dove without understanding: 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 go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowl of the heavens; I will chastise them, according as their assembly 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 wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against me. And I would redeem them; but they speak 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 cried not unto me in their heart, when they howled upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and new wine; they have turned aside from me.

¹⁴Nekričia ku mne svojím srdcom, ale zavýjajú na svojich ložiach; shromažďujú sa pre obilie a pre vínnu šťavu; uhli proti mne.

¹⁵I have indeed trained, I have strengthened their arms, but 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.
