Hosea 2

1 “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’

Recite braæi svojoj: narode moj; i sestrama svojim: pomilovana.

2 Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.

Prite se s materom svojom, prite se, jer mi nije žena, niti sam joj ja muž; neka odbaci kurvarstva svoja od lica svojega, i preljube svoje od dojaka svojih,

3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.

Da je ne bih svukao golu i uèinio je kaka je bila onaj dan kad se rodila, i da je ne bih postavio da bude kao pustinja i obratio je da bude kao zemlja zasušena, i umorio je žeðu.

4 I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.

I neæu se smilovati na djecu njezinu, jer su kopilad.

5 For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’

Jer se mati njihova kurva, sramoti se roditeljka njihova; jer govori: iæi æu za milosnicima svojim koji mi daju hljeb moj i vodu moju, vunu moju i lan moj, ulje moje i piæe moje.

6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.

Zato evo ja æu joj zagraditi put trnjem i zazidaæu zidom da ne naðe staza svojih.

7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’

I trèaæe za svojim milosnicima, ali ih neæe stignuti; i tražiæe ih, ali ih neæe naæi; pa æe reæi: idem da se vratim k prvomu mužu svojemu, jer mi bješe bolje onda nego sada.

8 For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold— which they crafted for Baal.

Jer ona ne zna da sam joj ja davao žito i vino i ulje, i umnožavao joj srebro i zlato, od kojega naèiniše Vala.

9 Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.

Zato æu uzeti natrag žito svoje, kad bude vrijeme, i vino svoje, kad bude vrijeme, i uzeæu vunu svoju i lan svoj, kojim bi pokrivala golotinju svoju.

10 And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.

I otkriæu rugobu njezinu pred milosnicima njezinijem, i niko je neæe izbaviti iz moje ruke.

11 I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths— all her appointed feasts.

I ukinuæu svaku radost njezinu, svetkovine njezine, mladine njezine i subote njezine i sve praznike njezine.

12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.

I potræu èokote njezine i smokve, za koje govori: plata su mi, što mi dadoše milosnici moji; i obratiæu ih u šumu da ih jede zvijerje poljsko.

13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,”

I pohodiæu na njoj dane Valimske, u koje im je kadila i kitila se obocima i grivnama, i išla za svojim milosnicima, i mene zaboravila, govori Gospod.

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.

Ali evo, ja æu je primamiti i odvešæu je u pustinju, i govoriæu s njom lijepo.

15 There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

I daæu joj vinograde njezine od toga mjesta, i dolinu Ahor za vrata nadanju, i ondje æe pjevati kao za mladosti svoje i kao kad je išla iz Misira.

16 In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’

I tada æeš me, govori Gospod, zvati: mužu moj; a neæeš me više zvati: Vale moj.

17 For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.

Jer æu ukloniti iz usta njezinijeh imena Vala; i neæe im se više pominjati imena.

18 On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.

I tada æu im uèiniti zavjet sa zvijerjem poljskim i sa pticama nebeskim i s bubinama zemaljskim; i polomiæu luk i maè i rat da ih nestane u zemlji, i uèiniæu da leže bez straha.

19 So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.

I zaruèiæu te sebi dovijeka, zaruèiæu te sebi pravdom i sudom i milošæu i milosrðem.

20 And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”

I zaruèiæu te sebi vjerom, i poznaæeš Gospoda.

21 “On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD— “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.

I tada æu se odazvati, govori Gospod, odazvaæu se nebesima, a ona æe se odazvati zemlji.

22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.

A zemlja æe se odazvati žitu i vinu i ulju, a to æe se odazvati Jezraelu.

23 And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”

I posijaæu je sebi na zemlji, i smilovaæu se na Loruhamu, i reæi æu Loamiji: ti si moj narod, i on æe reæi: Bože moj!
