Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return to Jehovah, for he has torn, and he will heal us. He has smitten, and he will bind us up.
Pridite in vrnimo se h Gospodu, kajti on je raztrgal in on nas bo ozdravil. Udaril je in nas bo obvezal.
2 After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.
Po dveh dneh nas bo oživil, v tretjem dnevu nas bo dvignil in živeli bomo v njegovem pogledu.
3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is sure as the morning, and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.
Takrat bomo vedeli ali še naprej sledimo, da bi spoznali Gospoda; njegov izhod je pripravljen kakor jutro in prišel bo k nam kakor dež, kakor pozni in prvi dež na zemljo.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goes away early.
»Oh Efrájim, kaj naj ti storim? Oh Juda, kaj naj ti storim? Kajti vaša dobrota je kakor jutranji oblak in kakor zgodnja rosa odide proč.
5 Therefore I have hewed them by the prophets. I have slain them by the words of my mouth. And thy judgments are as the light that goes forth.
Zatorej sem jih obtesaval po prerokih, moril sem jih z besedami iz svojih ust. Tvoje sodbe so kakor svetloba, ki gre naprej.
6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Kajti želel sem usmiljenja in ne klavne daritve, in spoznanja Boga bolj kakor žgalne daritve.
7 But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant. There they have dealt treacherously against me.
Toda podobni so ljudem, ki so prestopili zavezo. Tam so zoper mene ravnali zahrbtno.
8 Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood.
Gileád je mesto tistih, ki počno krivičnost in je oskrunjeno s krvjo.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem. Yea, they have committed iniquity.
Kakor krdela roparjev prežijo na človeka, tako skupina duhovnikov mori po poti z odobravanjem, kajti zagrešujejo nespodobnost.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel. Whoredom is there in Ephraim; Israel is defiled.
Videl sem strašno stvar v Izraelovi hiši. Tam je vlačugarstvo Efrájima, Izrael je omadeževan.
11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee when I bring back the captivity of my people.
Prav tako, oh Juda, on je zate pripravil žetev, ko vrnem ujetništvo svojega ljudstva.
