Hósea 13
Icelandic Bible
13 Þegar Efraím talaði, sló ótta á menn. Hann var höfðingi í Ísrael. En hann varð sekur fyrir Baalsdýrkunina og dó.
2 Og nú halda þeir áfram að syndga, þeir hafa gjört sér steypt líkneski úr silfri sínu, goðalíkneski eftir hugviti sínu, verk hagleiksmanna er það allt saman. Og slíkt ávarpa þeir. Fórnandi menn kyssa kálfa.
3 Fyrir því skulu þeir verða eins og ský að morgni dags og sem dögg, er snemma hverfur, eins og sáðir, sem þyrlast burt af láfanum, og sem reykur út um ljóra.
4 En ég, Drottinn, er Guð þinn frá því á Egyptalandi. Annan guð en mig þekkir þú ekki og enginn frelsari er til nema ég.
5 Það var ég, sem hélt þér til haga í eyðimörkinni, í landi þurrkanna.
6 En því meira haglendi sem þeir fengu, því saddari átu þeir sig. En er þeir voru saddir orðnir, metnaðist hjarta þeirra. Þess vegna gleymdu þeir mér.
7 Fyrir því er ég þeim eins og ljón, ligg í leyni við veginn eins og pardusdýr,
8 ræðst á þá eins og birna, sem rænd er húnum sínum, sundurríf brjóst þeirra. Þar skulu ung ljón eta þá, villidýrin slíta þá sundur.
9 Það verður þér að tjóni, Ísrael, að þú ert á móti mér, hjálpara þínum.
10 Hvar er nú konungur þinn, að hann frelsi þig, og allir höfðingjar þínir, að þeir rétti hluta þinn? _ þeir er þú sagðir um: "Gef mér konung og höfðingja!"
11 Ég gef þér konung í reiði minni og tek hann aftur í bræði minni.
12 Misgjörð Efraíms er saman bundin, synd hans vel geymd.
13 Kvalir jóðsjúkrar konu koma yfir hann, en hann er óvitur sonur. Þótt stundin sé komin, kemur hann ekki fram í burðarliðinn.
14 Ætti ég að frelsa þá frá Heljar valdi, leysa þá frá dauða? Hvar eru drepsóttir þínar, dauði? Hvar er sýki þín, Hel? Augu mín þekkja enga meðaumkun.
15 Því þótt hann beri ávöxt meðal bræðranna, þá kemur þó austanvindurinn, stormur Drottins, sem rís í eyðimörkinni, svo að brunnar hans þorna og lindir hans þrjóta. Hann mun ræna fjársjóð hans öllum dýrmætum gersemum.

The Lord’s Anger Against Israel
13 When Ephraim spoke, people trembled;(A)
he was exalted(B) in Israel.
But he became guilty of Baal worship(C) and died.
2 Now they sin more and more;
they make(D) idols for themselves from their silver,(E)
cleverly fashioned images,
all of them the work of craftsmen.(F)
It is said of these people,
“They offer human sacrifices!
They kiss[a](G) calf-idols!(H)”
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears,(I)
like chaff(J) swirling from a threshing floor,(K)
like smoke(L) escaping through a window.
4 “But I have been the Lord your God
ever since you came out of Egypt.(M)
You shall acknowledge(N) no God but me,(O)
no Savior(P) except me.
5 I cared for you in the wilderness,(Q)
in the land of burning heat.
6 When I fed them, they were satisfied;
when they were satisfied, they became proud;(R)
then they forgot(S) me.(T)
7 So I will be like a lion(U) to them,
like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
8 Like a bear robbed of her cubs,(V)
I will attack them and rip them open;
like a lion(W) I will devour them—
a wild animal will tear them apart.(X)
9 “You are destroyed, Israel,
because you are against me,(Y) against your helper.(Z)
10 Where is your king,(AA) that he may save you?
Where are your rulers in all your towns,
of whom you said,
‘Give me a king and princes’?(AB)
11 So in my anger I gave you a king,(AC)
and in my wrath I took him away.(AD)
12 The guilt of Ephraim is stored up,
his sins are kept on record.(AE)
13 Pains as of a woman in childbirth(AF) come to him,
but he is a child without wisdom;
when the time(AG) arrives,
he doesn’t have the sense to come out of the womb.(AH)
14 “I will deliver this people from the power of the grave;(AI)
I will redeem them from death.(AJ)
Where, O death, are your plagues?
Where, O grave, is your destruction?(AK)
“I will have no compassion,
15 even though he thrives(AL) among his brothers.
An east wind(AM) from the Lord will come,
blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
and his well dry up.(AN)
His storehouse will be plundered(AO)
of all its treasures.
16 The people of Samaria(AP) must bear their guilt,(AQ)
because they have rebelled(AR) against their God.
They will fall by the sword;(AS)
their little ones will be dashed(AT) to the ground,
their pregnant women(AU) ripped open.”[b]

Hosea 13
King James Version
Hosea 13
King James Version
13 When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.
5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
10 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
