Oseas 10

1Ang Israel ay isang mayabong na baging, na nagbunga: ayon sa karamihan ng kaniyang bunga kaniyang pinarami ang kaniyang mga dambana; ayon sa kabutihan ng kaniyang lupain ay nagsigawa sila ng mga mainam na haligi. 2Ang kanilang puso ay nahati; ngayo'y mangasusumpungan silang salarin: kaniyang ibabagsak ang kanilang mga dambana, kaniyang sasamsamin ang kanilang mga haligi. 3Walang pagsalang ngayo'y kanilang sasabihin, Kami ay walang hari; sapagka't kami ay hindi nangatatakot sa Panginoon; at ang hari, ano ang magagawa niya para sa atin? 4Sila'y nagsasalita ng mga walang kabuluhang salita, na nagsisisumpa ng di totoo sa paggawa ng mga tipan: kaya't ang kahatulan ay lumilitaw na parang ajenjo sa mga bungkal sa parang. 5Ang mga nananahan sa Samaria ay malalagay sa pangingilabot dahil sa mga guya ng Beth-aven; sapagka't ang bayan niyaon ay mananangis doon, at ang mga saserdote niyaon na nangagagalak doon, dahil sa kaluwalhatian niyaon, sapagka't nawala roon. 6Dadalhin din naman sa Asiria na pinakakaloob sa haring Jareb: ang Ephraim ay tatanggap ng kahihiyan, at ang Israel ay mapapahiya sa kaniyang sariling payo. 7Tungkol sa Samaria, ang kaniyang hari ay nahiwalay, na parang bula sa tubig. 8Ang mataas na dako naman ng Aven, ang kasalanan ng Israel ay masisira: ang mga tinik at ang mga dawag ay sisibol sa kanilang mga dambana; at sasabihin nila sa mga bundok, Takpan ninyo kami; at sa mga burol, Mahulog kayo sa amin. 9Oh Israel, ikaw ay nagkasala mula sa mga kaarawan ng Gabaa: doon sila nagsitayo; ang pagbabaka laban sa mga anak ng kasamaan ay hindi aabot sa kanila sa Gabaa. 10Pagka siya kong nasa, ay aking parurusahan sila; at ang mga bayan ay magpipisan laban sa kanila, pagka sila'y nagapos sa kanilang dalawang pagsalangsang. 11At ang Ephraim ay isang dumalagang baka na tinuturuan, na maibigin sa pagiik ng trigo; nguni't aking pinararaan ang pamatok sa kaniyang magandang leeg: ako'y maglalagay ng isang mananakay sa Ephraim; magaararo ang Juda, dudurugin ng Jacob ang kaniyang mga bugal. 12Mangaghasik kayo sa inyong sarili sa katuwiran, magsigapas kayo ayon sa kaawaan; bungkalin ninyo ang inyong pinabayaang bukiran; sapagka't panahon na hanapin ang Panginoon, hanggang sa siya'y dumating, at magdala ng katuwiran sa inyo. 13Kayo'y nangaghasik ng kasamaan, kayo'y nagsiani ng kasalanan; kayo'y nagsikain ng bunga ng kabulaanan; sapagka't ikaw ay tumiwala sa iyong lakad, sa karamihan ng iyong makapangyarihang lalake. 14Kaya't babangon ang isang kagulo sa iyong mga bayan, at lahat ng iyong mga katibayan ay magigiba, na gaya ni Salman na gumiba sa Beth-arbel sa kaarawan ng pagbabaka: ang ina ay pinaglurayluray na kasama ng kaniyang mga anak. 15Gayon ang gagawin ng Beth-el sa inyo dahil sa inyong malaking kasamaan: sa pagbubukang liwayway, ang hari ng Israel ay lubos na mahihiwalay.

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.
