Hozeáš 6
1 V úzkosti své ráno hledati mne budou: Poďte, a navraťme se k Hospodinu; nebo on uchvátil a zhojí nás, ubil a uvíže rány naše.
[The Israeli people say, ] “Come, let’s return to Yahweh! He has caused [us] to be injured, but he will heal us. He has caused [us] to be wounded, but [it is as though] he will put bandages on our wounds [MET].
2 Obživí nás po dvou dnech, dne třetího vzkřísí nás, a budeme živi před oblíčejem jeho,
After a very short time he will revive us; in less than three days he will restore us in order that we may live in his presence.
3 Tak abychom znajíce Hospodina, více poznávati se snažovali; nebo jako jitřní svitání jest vycházení jeho, a přijde nám jako déšť jarní a podzimní na zemi.
We must try to know Yahweh; [if we do that, ] he will come [and help] us, as surely as the sun rises [every morning], as surely as rain falls every winter/cold season, and as surely as the rain falls again (in the springtime/at the end of the cold season).”
4 Což mám činiti s tebou, ó Efraime? Což mám činiti s tebou, ó Judo, ano vaše dobrota jest jako oblak ranní, a jako rosa jitřní pomíjející?
[But Yahweh knows they are insincere; ] [so he says to them, ] “You [people of] Israel, and you [people of] Judah, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should do to you. Your being faithful [to me will disappear as quickly] as [SIM] the morning mist [disappears], like [SIM] the dew [on the ground] that disappears quickly [when the sun shines].
5 Protož otesával jsem skrze proroky, zbil jsem je řečmi úst svých, aby soudů tvých světlo vzešlo.
I warned [HYP] you by [the messages that I gave to] the prophets, [but you did not pay attention to my messages]. Therefore I will completely destroy you; the punishment that I give you will strike you like lightning.
6 Nebo milosrdenství oblibuji a ne obět, a známost Boha více než zápaly.
I want [my people] to faithfully love [me] more than [I want them to offer] sacrifices [to me]; [I want them] to know me more than [I want them to] completely burn sacrifices [on the altar].
7 Ale oni smlouvu mou jako lidskou přestoupili, a tu se mi zpronevěřili.
But they have refused to obey my agreement, [just] like Adam did; they have not been faithful to me.
8 Galád město činitelů nepravosti, plné šlepějí krvavých.
Gilead is a city [full] of people who do wicked things; [in the streets] are the bloody footprints [of those who have murdered others].
9 Rota pak kněžstva jsou jako lotři, kteříž na někoho čekají na cestě, kudyž se jde do Sichem; nebo zúmyslnou nešlechetnost páší.
The priests are like [SIM] bandits who wait (in ambushes/along the road) to attack people; they murder [people who are walking] on the road to Shechem, and they commit other disgraceful crimes.
10 V domě Izraelském vidím hroznou věc: Tam smilstvím Efraimovým poškvrňuje se Izrael.
I have seen horrible things [being done] in Israel [MTY]. The people have abandoned me [like prostitutes who have abandoned their husbands] [MET]; [so the people of] Israel have become unacceptable to me.
11 Ano i u tebe, ó Judo, vsadil rouby, když jsem já zase vedl zajatý lid svůj.
And you [people of] Judah, I have appointed a time when I will punish [MET] you, too. Whenever I wanted to enable my people to prosper again,”
