Hošea 6
1 “Hajde, vratimo se Jahvi! On je razderao, on će nas iscijeliti: on je udario, on će nam poviti rane;
Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.
2 poslije dva dana oživit će nas, trećeg će nas dana podignuti i mi ćemo živjeti pred njim.
After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
3 Težimo da upoznamo Jahvu: k'o zora pouzdan mu dolazak. On će nam doći poput dažda jesenskog, poput kiše proljetne što natapa zemlju.”
So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
4 Što za tebe mogu učiniti, Efrajime? Što za tebe mogu učiniti, Judo? K'o oblak jutarnji ljubav je vaša, k'o rana rosa koje nestaje.
What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.
5 Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.
Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.
6 Jer ljubav mi je mila, ne žrtve, poznavanje Boga, ne paljenice.
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
7 Al' oni su kod Adama prekršili Savez i ondje mene iznevjerili.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.
8 Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.
Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.
9 Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!
Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities.
10 Strahotu vidjeh u domu Izraelovu; Efrajim se ondje bludu odaje i skvrni se Izrael.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.
11 I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.
Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people from captivity.
