¹“Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh’s house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law.

¹Nože trúbu ku svojim rtom! Jako orol na dom Hospodinov! Pretože prestúpili moju smluvu, šeredne hrešili proti môjmu zákonu.

²Pravda kričia na mňa. Môj Bože! Známe ťa, hovorí Izrael!

³Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.

³Ale Izrael opustil to, čo je dobré, nech ho tedy stíha nepriateľ.

⁴They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I didn’t approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.

⁴Oni ustanovujú kráľa; ale to nie je odo mňa; ustanovujú kniežatá; a ja neviem o tom. Zo svojho striebra a zo svojho zlata narobili si modiel, aby boli vyťatí aj s ním.

⁵Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?

⁵Opustí ťa tvoje teľa, Samário! Môj hnev je rozpálený proti nim. Až dokedy nebudú schopní neviny?

⁶For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

⁶Lebo z Izraela je aj ono; remeselník ho spravil, a nie je bohom. Istotne bude na trosky teľa Samárie.

⁷For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

⁷Preto, že siali vietor, budú žať víchricu; nemáš stojatého obilia; to, čo narastie, nevydá múky, a keby aj vydalo, pohltia to cudzinci.

⁸Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.

⁸Izrael bude pohltený; už teraz sú medzi národami jako nádoba, v ktorej niet záľuby.

⁹For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.

⁹Lebo oni odišli hore do Assýrie, k divokému oslovi, ktorý je sám pre seba. Efraim najíma milencov.

¹⁰But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.

¹⁰Ale aj keď si najmú medzi národami, teraz ich shromaždím, a neočakávajú málo úľavy od bremena u kráľa kniežat.

¹¹Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.

¹¹Lebo Efraim narobil množstvo oltárov, aby hrešil; nato má oltáre, aby hrešil.

¹²I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.

¹²Napísal som mu veľké veci svojho zákona; považované sú jako voľačo cudzie.

¹³As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But Yahweh doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.

¹³Čo do bitných obetí z mojich darov, obetujú mäso a jedia; Hospodin nemá v nich záľuby. Teraz už sa rozpamätá na ich neprávosť a navštívi ich hriechy. Oni sa navrátia do Egypta!

¹⁴For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”

¹⁴A Izrael zabudol na svojho Učiniteľa a nastaväl si chrámov, a Júda namnožil ohradených miest. Ale pošlem oheň na jeho mestá, a požerie jeho paláce.
