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 Yahweh. For he has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us; he has injured us, but he will bandage 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; he will raise us up on the third day, and we will 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.”
Let us know Yahweh; let us press on to know Yahweh. His coming out is as sure as the dawn; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the land.”
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.
Ephraim, what will I do with you? Judah, what will I do with you? Your faithfulness is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early.
5 Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.
So I have cut them to pieces by the prophets, I have killed them with the words of my mouth. Your decrees are like the light that shines out.
6 Jer ljubav mi je mila, ne žrtve, poznavanje Boga, ne paljenice.
For I desire faithfulness and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Al' oni su kod Adama prekršili Savez i ondje mene iznevjerili.
Like Adam they have broken the covenant; they were unfaithful to me.
8 Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.
Gilead is a city of evildoers with footprints of blood.
9 Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!
As gangs of robbers wait for someone, so the priests band together to commit murder on the way to Shechem; they have committed shameful crimes.
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's prostitution is there, and Israel has become unclean.
11 I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.
For you also, Judah, a harvest has been appointed, when I will restore the fortunes of my people.
