Hoseas 9
Dette er Biblen på dansk
9 Israel, glæd dig ikke med Folkets jubel, ved Hor veg du bort fra din Gud, på hver en Tærskeplads elsker du Skøgens Løn. 2 Tærskeplads og Perse skal ej kendes ved dem, og Mosten slår fejl for dem. 3 Ej skal de blive i Herrens Land; til Ægypten skal Efraim tilbage, spise uren Føde i Assur. 4 Ej skal de udgyde Vin for Herren, ej heller gøre Slagtoffer rede. Som Sørgebrød er deres Brød, det gør hver, som spiser det uren: thi Hungeren kræver alt Brødet, i Herrens Hus kommer intet. 5 Hvad gør I på Højtidsdagen, på Herrens Festdag? 6 Slipper de bort fra Vold, skal Ægypten sanke dem op og Memfis jorde dem; deres kostbare Sølvtøj skal Tidsler arve, Nælder skal bo i deres Telte.
7 Hjemsøgelsens Dage kommer, Gengældelsens Dage, det skal Israel mærke. "Afsindig er Profeten, forrykt den af Ånden grebne" fordi din Brøde er stor og Fjendskabet stort! 8 I sin Guds Hus lurer Efraim på Profeten; der er Snarer på alle hans Veje, man gør Faldgruben dyb. 9 Det er som i Gibeas Dage, han mindes deres Skyld og straffer deres Synder.
10 Som Druer i Ørkenen fandt jeg Israel, som tidligmodne Figner på Træet så jeg eders Fædre. De kom til Baal-Peor, til Skændselen viede de sig, som Efraims Elskere blev de en væmmelig Hob. 11 Deres Herlighed flyver som Fugle, Fødsel, Svangerskab, Undfangelse forbi! 12 Ja, selv om de opfostrer Sønner, jeg lader dem dø ud uden Børn. Ja, ve også dem, når jeg viger fra dem! 13 Efraim så jeg som en Mand, der gør Jagt på sine Børn; thi Efraim selv fører Sønnerne ud til Bøddelen. 14 Giv dem, Herre ja hvad skal du give? Du give dem barnløst Skød og golde Bryster! 15 I Gilgal er al deres Ondskab, der fik jeg Had til dem; for deres onde Gerninger driver jeg dem ud af mit Hus; jeg elsker dem ikke mer, genstridige er alle deres Fyrster. 16 Efraim er ramt, dets Rod er vissen, de bærer slet ingen Frugt; og får de end Børn, jeg dræber den dyre Livsfrugt. 17 Deres Gud vil forkaste dem, fordi de ej adlød ham; hjemløse bliver de blandt Folkene.
Hosea 9
New International Version
Punishment for Israel
9 Do not rejoice, Israel;
do not be jubilant(A) like the other nations.
For you have been unfaithful(B) to your God;
you love the wages of a prostitute(C)
at every threshing floor.
2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;
the new wine(D) will fail them.
3 They will not remain(E) in the Lord’s land;
Ephraim will return to Egypt(F)
and eat unclean food in Assyria.(G)
4 They will not pour out wine offerings(H) to the Lord,
nor will their sacrifices please(I) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;(J)
all who eat them will be unclean.(K)
This food will be for themselves;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.(L)
5 What will you do(M) on the day of your appointed festivals,(N)
on the feast days of the Lord?
6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,(O)
and Memphis(P) will bury them.(Q)
Their treasures of silver(R) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(S) will overrun their tents.
7 The days of punishment(T) are coming,
the days of reckoning(U) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(V) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(W)
the inspired person a maniac.(X)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[a]
yet snares(Y) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(Z)
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,(AA)
as in the days of Gibeah.(AB)
God will remember(AC) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.(AD)
10 “When I found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the early fruit(AE) on the fig(AF) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(AG)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(AH)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(AI) will fly away like a bird(AJ)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(AK)
12 Even if they rear children,
I will bereave(AL) them of every one.
Woe(AM) to them
when I turn away from them!(AN)
13 I have seen Ephraim,(AO) like Tyre,
planted in a pleasant place.(AP)
But Ephraim will bring out
their children to the slayer.”(AQ)
14 Give them, Lord—
what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry
and breasts that are dry.(AR)
15 “Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal,(AS)
I hated them there.
Because of their sinful deeds,(AT)
I will drive them out of my house.
I will no longer love them;(AU)
all their leaders are rebellious.(AV)
16 Ephraim(AW) is blighted,
their root is withered,
they yield no fruit.(AX)
Even if they bear children,
I will slay(AY) their cherished offspring.”
