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 go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
2 poslije dva dana oživit će nas, trećeg će nas dana podignuti i mi ćemo živjeti pred njim.
After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.
3 Težimo da upoznamo Jahvu: k'o zora pouzdan mu dolazak. On će nam doći poput dažda jesenskog, poput kiše proljetne što natapa zemlju.”
And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering 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.
O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
5 Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.
So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
6 Jer ljubav mi je mila, ne žrtve, poznavanje Boga, ne paljenice.
Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
7 Al' oni su kod Adama prekršili Savez i ondje mene iznevjerili.
But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
8 Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.
Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.
9 Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!
And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
10 Strahotu vidjeh u domu Izraelovu; Efrajim se ondje bludu odaje i skvrni se Izrael.
In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
11 I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.
And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.
