Osee 2
1 Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied.
Svojim bratom recite: ›Moje ljudstvo‹ in svojim sestram: ›Pomiloščena.‹
2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery from between her breasts:
Pravdajte se s svojo materjo, pravdajte, kajti ona ni moja žena niti jaz nisem njen soprog. Naj torej odloži svoja vlačugarstva iz svojega pogleda in svoja zakonolomstva izmed svojih prsi,
3 that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst.
da je ne bom slekel do golega in jo postavil kakor na dan, ko je bila rojena in jo naredil kakor divjino in jo postavil kakor suho deželo in jo pogubil z žejo.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication.
Ne bom se usmilil njenih otrok, kajti oni so otroci vlačugarstev.
5 And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.
Kajti njihova mati je igrala pocestnico. Ta, ki jih je spočela, je storila sramotno, kajti rekla je: ›Hodila bom za svojimi ljubimci, ki mi dajejo moj kruh in mojo vodo, mojo volno in moj lan, moje olje in mojo pijačo.‹
6 Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.
Zatorej glej, tvojo pot bom ogradil s trnjem in naredil zid, da ne bo našla svojih steza.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go, and return to my former husband; for it was better with me than now.
Sledila bo za svojimi ljubimci, toda ne bo jih dohitela in iskala jih bo, toda ne bo jih našla. Tedaj bo rekla: ›Šla bom in se vrnila k svojemu prvemu soprogu, kajti takrat je bilo z menoj bolje kakor sedaj.‹
8 And she knew not that I gave her her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold [images] for Baal.
Kajti ni vedela, da sem ji jaz dajal njeno žito, vino, olje in množil njeno srebro in zlato, ki so ga pripravili za Báala.
9 Therefore I will return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its time; and I will take away my raiment and my linen clothes, so that she shall not cover her nakedness.
Zatorej se bom vrnil in odvzel svoje žito ob njegovem času in svoje vino v njegovem obdobju in nazaj bom dobil svojo volno in svoj lan, izročen, da pokrije njeno nagoto.
10 And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of my hand.
Sedaj bom odkril njeno nespodobnost pred očmi njenih ljubimcev in nihče je ne bo rešil iz moje roke.
11 And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
Prav tako bom vsemu njenemu veselju povzročil, da bo prenehalo, njenim prazničnim dnevom, njenim mlajem, njenim šabatom in vsem njenim slovesnim praznikom.
12 And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall devour them.
Uničil bom njene trte in njena figova drevesa, o katerih je rekla: ›To so moje nagrade, ki so mi jih dajali moji ljubimci.‹ Jaz pa jih bom naredil za gozd in živali polja jih bodo jedle.
13 And I will recompense on her the days of Baalim, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her ear-rings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord.
Na njej bom obiskal dneve Báalov, na katere jim je zažigala kadilo in se krasila s svojimi uhani in svojimi dragocenostmi in hodila za svojimi ljubimci, mene pa pozabila, « govori Gospod.
14 Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.
»Zatorej glej, jaz jo bom privabil in jo pripeljal v divjino in ji tolažilno prigovarjal.
15 And I will giver her possessions from thence, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
Jaz ji bom od tam dal njene vinograde in dolino Ahór za vrata upanja in ona bo tam prepevala kakor v dneh svoje mladosti in kakor na dan, ko je prišla gor iz egiptovske dežele.
16 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, [that] she shall call me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalim.
In zgodilo se bo tisti dan, « govori Gospod, » da me boš klicala: ›Ishi‹ in ne boš me več klicala: ›Báali.‹
17 And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.
Kajti odstranil bom imena Báalov iz njenih ust in po njihovem imenu se jih ne bodo več spominjali.
18 And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause thee to dwell safely.
Na ta dan bom zanje sklenil zavezo s poljskimi živalmi, s perjadjo neba in s plazečimi stvarmi zemlje. Prelomil bom lok, meč in bitko z zemlje in storil jim bom, da se varno zleknejo.
19 And I will betroth thee to myself for ever; yea, I will betroth thee to myself in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in tender compassions;
In zaročil te bom k sebi za vedno. Da, zaročil te bom k sebi v pravičnosti, v sodbi, v ljubeči skrbnosti in v milostih.
20 and I will betroth thee to myself in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.
Zaročil te bom k sebi, celo v zvestobi in spoznala boš Gospoda.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, I will hearken to the heaven, and it shall hearken to the earth;
Zgodilo se bo na tisti dan; uslišal bom, « govori Gospod, »uslišal bom nebo in to bo uslišalo zemljo
22 and the earth shall hearken to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hearken to Jezrael.
in zemlja bo uslišala žito in vino in olje in ti bodo uslišali Jezreéla.
23 And I will sow her to me on the earth; and will love her that was not loved, and will say to that which was not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art the Lord my God.
Posejal si jo bom na zemlji in usmilil se bom nje, ki ni dosegla usmiljenja in rekel bom tistim, ki niso bili moje ljudstvo: ›Vi ste moje ljudstvo.‹ In oni bodo rekli: › Ti si moj Bog.‹«
