Hošea 6
1 “Hajde, vratimo se Jahvi! On je razderao, on će nas iscijeliti: on je udario, on će nam poviti rane;
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 poslije dva dana oživit će nas, trećeg će nas dana podignuti i mi ćemo živjeti pred njim.
After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live 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 know, let us follow on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the morning: and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth 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 shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away.
5 Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are [as] the light that goeth forth.
6 Jer ljubav mi je mila, ne žrtve, poznavanje Boga, ne paljenice.
For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Al' oni su kod Adama prekršili Savez i ondje mene iznevjerili.
But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is stained with blood.
9 Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!
And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness.
10 Strahotu vidjeh u domu Izraelovu; Efrajim se ondje bludu odaje i skvrni se Izrael.
In the house of Israel I have seen an horrible thing: there whoredom is [found] in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.
Also, O Judah, there is an harvest appointed for thee, when I bring again the captivity of my people.
