Hoseas 10
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
10 Israel er et frodig vintre, som bærer frukt; jo mere frukt han fikk, desto flere alter bygget han; jo bedre det gikk hans land, desto vakrere billedstøtter gjorde han sig.
2 Deres hjerte er falskt, nu skal de bøte; han[a] skal bryte ned deres altere og ødelegge deres billedstøtter;
3 ja, nu skal de si: Vi har ingen konge; for vi har ikke fryktet Herren, og kongen, hvad kan vel han gjøre for oss?
4 De har talt tomme ord, svoret falsk, inngått forbund, og retten skyter op som giftige urter på markens furer.
5 For Bet-Avens[b] kalv er Samarias innbyggere i angst; ja, dens[c] folk sørger over den, og dens avgudsprester skjelver for den - for dens herlighet, fordi den er ført bort fra dem.
6 Også den skal føres til Assur, som en gave til kong Jareb[d]; skam skal Efra'im høste, og Israel skal skamme sig over sitt råd.
7 Samarias konge skal bli borte som en spån på vannets flate.
8 Og Avens offerhauger, Israels synd, skal tilintetgjøres; torner og tistler skal skyte op på deres altere, og de skal si til fjellene: Skjul oss! og til haugene: Fall over oss!
9 Fra Gibeas dager av har du syndet, Israel! Der[e] er de blitt stående, uten at krigen mot nidingene har nådd dem i Gibea.
10 Efter min lyst vil jeg tukte dem, og folkeslag skal samles imot dem, når jeg binder dem fast til begge deres misgjerninger.
11 Efra'im er en opøvd kvige, som gjerne vil treske, men jeg legger et åk på dens fagre hals; jeg vil spenne Efra'im for, Juda skal pløie, Jakob skal harve.
12 Så eder en sæd, som rettferdigheten krever, få eder en høst efter kjærlighetens bud, bryt eder nytt land! For nu er det tiden til å søke Herren, til han kommer og lar rettferdighet regne over eder.
13 I har pløid ugudelighet, I har høstet urett, I har ett løgnens frukt; for du har satt din lit til din ferd og til dine mange helter.
14 Derfor skal det reise sig et krigsbulder blandt dine stammer, og alle dine festninger skal ødelegges, likesom Salman[f] ødela Bet-Arbel på stridens dag, da både mor og barn blev knust.
15 Sådant skal Betel føre over eder for eders store ondskaps skyld; når det lysner til dag, er det ute, aldeles ute med Israels konge[g].

Hosea 10
New International Version
Hosea 10
New International Version
10 Israel was a spreading vine;(A)
he brought forth fruit for himself.
As his fruit increased,
he built more altars;(B)
as his land prospered,(C)
he adorned his sacred stones.(D)
2 Their heart is deceitful,(E)
and now they must bear their guilt.(F)
The Lord will demolish their altars(G)
and destroy their sacred stones.(H)
3 Then they will say, “We have no king
because we did not revere the Lord.
But even if we had a king,
what could he do for us?”
4 They make many promises,
take false oaths(I)
and make agreements;(J)
therefore lawsuits spring up
like poisonous weeds(K) in a plowed field.
5 The people who live in Samaria fear
for the calf-idol(L) of Beth Aven.[a](M)
Its people will mourn over it,
and so will its idolatrous priests,(N)
those who had rejoiced over its splendor,
because it is taken from them into exile.(O)
6 It will be carried to Assyria(P)
as tribute(Q) for the great king.(R)
Ephraim will be disgraced;(S)
Israel will be ashamed(T) of its foreign alliances.
7 Samaria’s king will be destroyed,(U)
swept away like a twig on the surface of the waters.
8 The high places(V) of wickedness[b](W) will be destroyed—
it is the sin of Israel.
Thorns(X) and thistles will grow up
and cover their altars.(Y)
Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”(Z)
and to the hills, “Fall on us!”(AA)
9 “Since the days of Gibeah,(AB) you have sinned,(AC) Israel,
and there you have remained.[c]
Will not war again overtake
the evildoers in Gibeah?
10 When I please, I will punish(AD) them;
nations will be gathered against them
to put them in bonds for their double sin.
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer
that loves to thresh;
so I will put a yoke(AE)
on her fair neck.
I will drive Ephraim,
Judah must plow,
and Jacob must break up the ground.
12 Sow(AF) righteousness(AG) for yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;(AH)
for it is time to seek(AI) the Lord,
until he comes
and showers his righteousness(AJ) on you.
13 But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,(AK)
you have eaten the fruit of deception.(AL)
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors,(AM)
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
so that all your fortresses will be devastated(AN)—
as Shalman(AO) devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.(AP)
15 So will it happen to you, Bethel,
because your wickedness is great.
When that day dawns,
the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.(AQ)
