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.

¹Trobento deni na usta! Kakor orel prileti sovražnik na dom GOSPODOV, ker so prestopili zavezo mojo in se pregrešili zoper postavo mojo.

²Vpili bodo k meni: Bog moj, mi, ki smo Izrael, te poznamo!

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

³Izrael je zavrgel, kar je dobro: naj ga sovražnik preganja!

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.

⁴Kralje so postavljali, ali brez mene, nameščali poglavarje, in jaz nisem vedel. Iz srebra in zlata svojega so si delali malike, da bi bili iztrebljeni.

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

⁵Bog je zavrgel tele tvoje, o Samarija! Srd moj je razvnet zoper nje: doklej se še ne bodo mogli očistiti?

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.

⁶Kajti iz Izraela je tudi to tele: umetnik ga je naredil, in ni Bog; res v kosce razpade tele samarijsko.

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.

⁷Kajti veter sejejo in želi bodo vihar; stebla nima njih setev; kar je zraslo, ne da moke; ako bi jo tudi dalo, bi jo tujci požrli.

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

⁸Požrt je Izrael; sedaj so med poganskimi narodi kakor posoda, ki se je nihče ne veseli.

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

⁹Kajti šli so v Asirijo. Divji osel biva sam posebe, Efraim pa si je najel ljubovnike.

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.

¹⁰Če si jih tudi najemajo med pogani, jih sedaj zberem; in začno se manjšati pod bremenom kralja knezov.

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

¹¹Ker je Efraim namnožil oltarje za grešenje, so mu bili oltarji v pregreho.

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

¹²Naj mu napišem postavo svojo desettisočkrat, vendar jo štejejo za tujo!

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.

¹³Kot klalščine mojih daril darujejo meso in ga jedo; GOSPOD se jih ne veseli. Sedaj se spomni njih krivic in bo kaznoval njih grehe: na Egiptovsko se povrnejo.Zakaj Izrael je pozabil Stvarnika svojega in si zgradil palače, in Juda je pomnožil utrjena mesta; ali pošljem ogenj v mesta njegova, ki požre gradove njegove.

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.”
