¹Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.

¹Ne raduj se, o Izrael, da bi poskakoval kakor ljudstva; kajti nečistoval si, ko si se izneveril Bogu svojemu, ljubil si ljubovniško plačilo na vseh gumnih.

²The threshing floor and the winepress won’t feed them, and the new wine will fail her.

²Gumno in tlačilnica jim ne dasta živeža in mošta jim bo zmanjkalo.

³They won’t dwell in Yahweh’s land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.

³Ne bodo prebivali v deželi GOSPODOVI, temuč Efraim se povrne v Egipt, in nečiste jedi bodo jedli v Asiriji.

⁴They won’t pour out wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of Yahweh.

⁴Ne bodo GOSPODU darovali vina in njih klalne daritve mu ne bodo prijetne, bodo jim kakor kruh žalujočih; vsi, ki bodo od njih jedli, se onečistijo, kajti njih jed je zanje same, ne pride v hišo GOSPODOVO.

⁵What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Yahweh?

⁵Kaj boste počeli v dan prazničnega zbora in v dan praznika GOSPODOVEGA?

⁶For, behold, they have gone away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.

⁶Kajti glej, ko se preselijo zaradi razdejanja, jih zbere Egipt, Memf jih pokoplje; njih srebrne dragotine si prilasti kopriva, trnje bode v njih šatorih.

⁷The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.

⁷Prišli so dnevi obiskovanja, prišli so dnevi povračila; Izrael bo zvedel. Prorok je blazen, človek, ki ima duha, je zmešane pameti, zato ker je obila krivica tvoja in sovražnost tvoja velika.

⁸A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.

⁸Efraim gleda po razodetju zraven mojega Boga; na vseh prorokovih potih je ptičarjeva zanka, sovraštvo v hiši Boga njegovega.

⁹They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for their sins.

⁹Globoko so se popačili kakor v času Gibee. Bog se spomni njih krivice, kaznoval bo njih grehe.

¹⁰I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.

¹⁰Našel sem Izraela kakor grozdje v puščavi; videl sem očete vaše kakor prvino smokovega drevesa v zgodnji dobi njegovi. Oni pa so šli v Baal-peor in se posvetili sramoti in so postali gnusobni kakor tisti, katerega so ljubili.

¹¹As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, none with child, and no conception.

¹¹Efraimova slava odleti kakor ptica. Ne bo poroda, ne noseče, ne spočetja;

¹²Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!

¹²in ko bi tudi zredili sinove svoje, storim vendar, da bodo brez otrok, da ne ostane moža; kajti gorje jim, kadar odstopim od njih!

¹³I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.

¹³Efraim je, kakor vidim, zasajen kakor Tir na lepem kraju; toda Efraim mora peljati otroke svoje ven k ubijalcu.

¹⁴Give them—Yahweh what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

¹⁴Daj jim, o GOSPOD – kaj jim hočeš dati? – daj jim nerodovitna telesa in suhe prsi!

¹⁵“All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house! I will love them no more. All their princes are rebels.

¹⁵Vsa njih hudobnost izvira v Gilgalu, tako da sem jih tam zasovražil. Zavoljo hudobnosti njih dejanj jih preženem iz hiše svoje; ne bom jih več ljubil; vsi njih poglavarji so odpadniki.

¹⁶Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.”

¹⁶Efraim je udarjen: njih korenina se je posušila, sadu ne obrodé več; celo ko bi rodili, usmrtim ljubčke njih telesa.Bog moj jih zavrže, ker ga niso poslušali; in klatili se bodo med narodi.

¹⁷My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.

¹⁷Bog moj jih zavrže, ker ga niso poslušali; in klatili se bodo med narodi.
