호세아 10

1이스라엘은 열매 맺는 무성한 포도나무라 그 열매가 많을수록 제단을 많게 하며 그 땅이 아름다울수록 주상을 아름답게 하도다 2저희가 두 마음을 품었으니 이제 죄를 받을 것이라 하나님이 그 제단을 쳐서 깨치시며 그 주상을 헐으시리라 3저희가 이제 이르기를 우리가 여호와를 두려워 아니하므로 우리에게 왕이 없거니와 왕이 우리를 위하여 무엇을 하리요 하리로다 4저희가 헛된 말을 내며 거짓 맹세를 발하여 언약을 세우니 그 재판이 밭이랑에 돋는 독한 인진 같으리로다 5사마리아 거민이 벧아웬의 송아지를 인하여 두려워할 것이라 그 백성이 슬퍼하며 그것을 기뻐하던 제사장들도 슬퍼하리니 이는 그 영광이 떠나감이며 6그 송아지는 앗수르로 옮겨다가 예물로 야렙 왕에게 드리리니 에브라임은 수치를 받을 것이요 이스라엘은 자기들의 계의를 부끄러워할 것이며 7사마리아 왕은 물 위에 거품 같이 멸망할 것이며 8이스라엘의 죄 된 아웬의 산당은 패괴되어 가시와 찔레가 그 단 위에 날 것이니 그 때에 저희가 산더러 우리를 가리우라 할 것이요 작은 산더러 우리 위에 무너지라 하리라 9이스라엘아 네가 기브아에 서서 흉악한 족속을 치는 전쟁을 거기서 면하였도다 10내가 원하는 때에 저희를 징계하리니 저희가 두 가지 죄에 걸릴 때에 만민이 모여서 저희를 치리라 11에브라임은 마치 길들인 암소 같아서 곡식 밟기를 좋아하나 내가 그 아름다운 목에 멍에를 메우고 그의 위에 사람을 태우리니 유다가 밭을 갈고 야곱이 흙덩이를 깨뜨리리라 12너희가 자기를 위하여 의를 심고 긍휼을 거두라 지금이 곧 여호와를 찾을 때니 너희 묵은 땅을 기경하라 마침내 여호와께서 임하사 의를 비처럼 너희에게 내리시리라 13너희는 악을 밭갈아 죄를 거두고 거짓 열매를 먹었나니 이는 네가 네 길과 네 용사의 많음을 의뢰하였음이라 14그러므로 너희 백성 중에 요란함이 일어나며 네 산성들이 다 훼파되되 살만이 전쟁의 날에 벧아벨을 훼파한 것 같이 될 것이라 그 때에 어미와 자식이 함께 부숴졌도다 15너희의 큰 악을 인하여 벧엘이 이같이 너희에게 행하리니 이스라엘 왕이 새벽에 멸절하리로다

1Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones. 2Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones. 3Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear Yahweh; and the king, what can he do for us?” 4They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field. 5The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven; for its people will mourn over it, Along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it. 6It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel. 7Samaria and her king float away, like a twig on the water. 8The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!” 9“Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gibeah. 10When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the nations will be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions. 11Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods. 12Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you. 13You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men. 14Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children. 15So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.

1Israel is een uitgeledigde wijnstok, hij brengt weder vrucht voor zich; maar naar de veelheid zijner vrucht heeft hij de altaren vermenigvuldigd; naar de goedheid zijns lands, hebben zij de opgerichte beelden goed gemaakt. 2Hij heeft hun hart verdeeld, nu zullen zij verwoest worden; Hij zal hun altaren doorhouwen, Hij zal hun opgerichte beelden verstoren. 3Want nu zullen zij zeggen: Wij hebben geen koning; want wij hebben den HEERE niet gevreesd; wat zou ons dan een koning doen? 4Zij hebben woorden gesproken, valselijk zwerende in het verbond maken; daarom zal het oordeel als een vergiftig kruid groenen, op de voren der velden. 5De inwoners van Samaria zullen verschrikt zijn over het kalf van Beth-Aven; want zijn volk zal over hetzelve treuren, mitsgaders zijn Chemarim (die zich over hetzelve verheugden), over zijn heerlijkheid, omdat zij van hetzelve is weggevaren. 6Ja, datzelve zal naar Assur gevoerd worden, tot een geschenk voor den koning Jareb; Efraim zal schaamte behalen, en Israel zal beschaamd worden vanwege zijn raadslag. 7De koning van Samaria is afgehouwen, als schuim op het water. 8En de hoogten van Aven, Israels zonde, zullen verdelgd worden; doornen en distelen zullen op hunlieder altaren opkomen; en zij zullen zeggen tot de bergen: Bedekt ons! en tot de heuvelen: Valt op ons! 9Sinds de dagen van Gibea, hebt gij gezondigd, o Israel; daar zijn zij staande gebleven; de strijd te Gibea, tegen de kinderen der verkeerdheid, zal ze niet aangrijpen. 10Het is in Mijn lust, dat Ik ze zal binden; en volken zullen tegen henlieden verzameld worden, als Ik ze binden zal in hun twee voren. 11Dewijl Efraim een vaars is, gewend gaarne te dorsen, zo ben Ik over de schoonheid van haar hals overgegaan; Ik zal Efraim berijden, Juda zal ploegen, Jakob zal voor zich eggen. 12Zaait u tot gerechtigheid, maait tot weldadigheid; braakt u een braakland; dewijl het tijd is den HEERE te zoeken, totdat Hij kome, en over u de gerechtigheid regene. 13Gij hebt goddeloosheid geploegd, verkeerdheid gemaaid, en de vrucht der leugen gegeten; want gij hebt vertrouwd op uw weg, op de veelheid uwer helden. 14Daarom zal er een groot gedruis ontstaan onder uw volken, en al uw vestingen zullen verstoord worden, gelijk Salman Beth-Arbel verstoorde ten dage des krijgs; de moeder werd er verpletterd met de zonen. 15Alzo heeft Beth-El ulieden gedaan, vanwege de boosheid uwer boosheid; Israels koning is in den dageraad ten enenmale uitgeroeid.
