Hosea 2
1 “On that day you will call your brothers Ammi, and you will call your sisters Ruhamah.
Kald eders Broder Mit-Folk og eders Søster nåderig.
2 Condemn your mother, condemn her because she is not my wife and I am not her husband. Tell her to stop looking like a prostitute—get rid of the makeup and the provocative clothing.
Gå i rette med eders Moder, gå i rette, thi hun er ikke min Hustru, og jeg er ej hendes Mand. For Hormærket fri hun sit Ansigt, for Bolemærket sit Bryst.
3 Otherwise I will strip her naked as the day she was born, and make her like a desert, a barren land, and let her die of thirst.
Jeg klæder hende ellers nøgen, stiller hende frem, som hun fødtes; jeg reder hende til som en Ørk, som et Tørkeland gør jeg hende, lader hende tørste ihjel.
4 I will have no pity on her children because they are children of prostitution.
Jeg ynkes ej over hendes Børn, fordi de er Horebørn;
5 For their mother was a prostitute who conceived them in a shameful way. She said, ‘I'll run after my lovers who give me my food and water, my wool and flax and olive oil, and my drink.’
thi Horkvinde var deres Moder, skamløs var hun, som bar dem. Thi hun sagde: "Mine Elskere holder jeg mig til, som giver mig mit Brød og mit Vand, min Uld og min Hør, min Olie og Vin."
6 That is why I am going to block her path with thorn bushes, and build a stone wall to stop her so she won't find her way.
Se, derfor spærrer jeg med Tjørn hendes Vej, foran hende murer jeg en Mur, så hun ikke kan finde sine Stier.
7 When she runs after her lovers she won't catch up with them; she'll look for them but she won't find them. Then she'll say, ‘Let me go back to my former husband, because it was better for me then than now.’
Efter Elskerne kan hun så løbe, hun når dem alligevel ikke; hun søger dem uden at finde, og da skal hun sige: "Jeg går på ny til min første Mand; da, havde jeg det bedre end nu."
8 She doesn't consider that it was me who gave her grain, new wine, and olive oil; the silver and the gold which I gave her abundantly that they made into an idol of Baal.
Ja hun, hun skønner ikke, at det var mig, som gav hende Korn og Most og Olie, gav hende rigeligt Sølv. og Guld, som de gjorde til Baaler.
9 So I will take back my ripened grain and my new wine I gave at harvest time. I will take back my wool and my flax I provided to cover her nakedness.
Derfor tager jeg atter mit Korn, når Tiden er til det, min Most, når Timen er inde, borttager min Uld og min Hør, som hun skjuler sin Nøgenhed med.
10 I will strip her naked while her lovers watch; no one will be able to rescue her from me.
Jeg blotter nu hendes Skam lige for Elskernes Øjne, af min Hånd frier ingen hende ud.
11 I will put a stop to all her festivities: her feasts, new moon celebrations, special Sabbaths—all her festivals.
Jeg, gør Ende på al hendes. Glæde, Fester, Nymåner, Sabbater, hver en Højtid, hun har.
12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees that she said were given to her as payment for being a prostitute. I will turn them into scrub-land; only wild animals will eat the remaining fruit.
Jeg ødelægger hendes Vinstok og Figentræ, om hvilke hun sagde: "Her er min Skøgeløn, den, mine Elskere gav mig." Jeg skaber dem om til Krat, af Markens Dyr skal de ædes.
13 I will punish her for all the times she offered incense to Baal, dressing herself up, putting on rings and jewelry, going after her lovers, but forgetting about me, declares the Lord.
Jeg hjemsøger hende for Baalernes Fester, på hvilke hun bragte dem Ofre, smykket med Ring og Kæde. Sine Elskere holdt hun sig til, mig glemte hun, lyder det fra HERREN.
14 See what I'm going to do! I will win her back, taking her into the desert where I will speak to her heart-to-heart.
Se, derfor vil jeg lokke og føre hende ud i Ørkenen og tale hende kærligt til.
15 There I will return her vineyards to her and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond to me as she did when she was young, as in the time when she left the land of Egypt.
Så giver jeg hende hendes Vingårde der og Akors Dal til en Håbets Dør. Der skal hun synge som i Ungdommens Dage, som da hun drog op fra Ægyptens Land.
16 Then on that day, says the Lord, you will call me ‘my husband’ and not ‘my Baal.’
På hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, skal hun påkalde sin Ægtemand, og ikke mere Baalerne.
17 I will stop her appealing to the Baals—their names won't be mentioned ever again.
Baalsnavnene fjerner jeg fra hendes Mund, ej mer skal Navnene huskes.
18 At that time I will make a solemn agreement with the wild animals and the birds of the sky and the creeping things of the ground. I will do away with the bow and the sword; I will abolish war from the land so you can lie down in safety.
På hin Dag slutter jeg en Pagt for dem med Markens Dyr og Himmelens Fugle og Jordens Kryb; Bue, Sværd og Stridsvåben sønderbryder jeg i Landet, og jeg lader dem bo trygt.
19 I will make you my wife forever; I will make you my wife in goodness and justice and love and mercy.
Jeg trolover mig med dig for evigt, jeg trolover mig med dig med Retfærd og Ret, med Miskundhed og Barmhjertighed;
20 I will be faithful to you, my wife, and you will know me as the Lord.
jeg trolover mig med dig i Troskab, og du skal kende HERREN.
21 On that day, declares the Lord, I will answer the heavens and they will answer the earth.
Da skal det ske på hin Dag, at jeg bønhører, lyder det fra HERREN, ja, at jeg bønhører Himlen, at den så bønhører Jorden,
22 The earth will answer the grain, and the new wine, and the olive oil, and they shall answer, ‘Jezreel’ (God sows).
og Jorden bønhører Hornet, Mosten og Olien, og de bønhører Jizreel.
23 I will ‘sow’ her for myself in the earth. I will love Lo-ruhamah (unloved) and I will say ‘you are my people’ to Lo-ammi (not my people), and they will say ‘You are my God.’”
Jeg sår hende ud i Landet, mod Nådeløs er jeg nådig og siger til Ikke-mit-Folk: "Mit Folk er du!" og han skal sige: "Min Gud!"
