Hošea 6
1 “Hajde, vratimo se Jahvi! On je razderao, on će nas iscijeliti: on je udario, on će nam poviti rane;
“Come! Let’s return to the LORD; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and 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, 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’s acknowledge the LORD. Let’s press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, the LORD will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters 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.
“Ephraim, what shall I do to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew that disappears early.
5 Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.
Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets; I killed them with the words of my mouth. Your judgments are like a flash of lightning.
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 broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me there.
8 Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.
Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood.
9 Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!
As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man, so the company of priests murder on the path toward Shechem, committing 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. There is prostitution in Ephraim. Israel is defiled.
11 I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.
“Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, when I restore the fortunes of my people.
