Hoseas 6
1 "Kom, vi vil tilbage til HERREN! Han sønderrev, han vil og læge, han slog os, vil også forbinde.
“Come, and we turn back to YHWH, For He has torn, and He heals us, He strikes, and He binds us up.
2 Om to Dage gør han os levende, rejser os op den tredje; da lever vi for hans Åsyn.
He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.
3 Så lad os da kende, jage efter at kende HERREN! Som Morgenrøden er hans Opgang vis. Da kommer han til os som Regn, som Vårregn, der væder Jorden."
And we know—we pursue to know YHWH, His going forth is prepared as the dawn, And He comes in as a shower to us, As spring rain [and] autumn rain to the earth.”
4 Hvor kan jeg hjælpe dig, Efraim, hvor kan jeg hjælpe dig, Juda? Eders Kærlighed er Morgentåge, Dug, som årle svinder!
“What do I do to you, O Ephraim? What do I do to you, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early—going.
5 Thi hugged jeg løs ved Profeter, dræbte med Ord af min Mund, min Ret stråler frem som Lys:
Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
6 Ej Slagtoffer Kærlighed vil jeg, ej Brændofre Kendskab til Gud!
For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
7 De bryder Pagten i Adam er mig utro der;
And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
8 Gilead er Udådsmænds By, den er sølet i Blod.
Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
9 Som en Stimandsflok er Præsternes Flok, de myrder på Vejen til Sikem gør Niddingsværk.
And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
10 Grufulde Ting har jeg set i Israels Hus, der har Efraim bolet, Israel blev uren.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.
11 Juda, også for dig er der fastsat en Høst, når jeg vender mit Folks Skæbne, når jeg læger Israel.
Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
