< Hosea 14 >

1 Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled by your iniquity.
Obrati se, Izrailju, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, jer si pao svojega radi bezakonja.
2 Bring your confessions and return to the LORD. Say to Him: “Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips.
Uzmite sa sobom rijeèi, i obratite se ka Gospodu; recite mu: oprosti sve bezakonje, i primi dobro; i daæemo žrtve usana svojih.
3 Assyria will not save us, nor will we ride on horses. We will never again say, ‘Our gods!’ to the work of our own hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”
Asirac nas ne može izbaviti, neæemo jahati na konjma, niti æemo više govoriti djelu ruku svojih: Bože naš; jer u tebe nalazi milost sirota.
4 I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them.
Iscijeliæu otpad njihov, ljubiæu ih drage volje; jer æe se gnjev moj odvratiti od njega.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
Biæu kao rosa Izrailju, procvjetaæe kao ljiljan i pustiæe žile svoje kao drveta Livanska.
6 His shoots will sprout, and his splendor will be like the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.
Raširiæe se grane njegove, i ljepota æe mu biti kao u masline i miris kao Livanski.
7 They will return and dwell in his shade; they will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
Oni æe se vratiti i sjedjeti pod sjenom njegovijem, raðaæe kao žito i cvjetaæe kao vinova loza; spomen æe mu biti kao vino Livansko.
8 O Ephraim, what have I to do anymore with idols? It is I who answer and watch over him. I am like a flourishing cypress; your fruit comes from Me.
Jefreme, šta æe mi više idoli? Ja æu ga uslišiti i gledati; ja æu mu biti kao jela zelena; od mene je tvoj plod.
9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.
Ko je mudar, neka razumije ovo; i razuman neka pozna ovo; jer su pravi putovi Gospodnji, i pravednici æe hoditi po njima, a prestupnici æe pasti na njima.
