Hosea 6
1 “Come on! Let's go back to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but now he will heal us. He has struck us down, but now he will bind up our wounds.
“Hajde, vratimo se Jahvi! On je razderao, on će nas iscijeliti: on je udario, on će nam poviti rane;
2 In two days he will heal us; after three days he will raise us up so we can live in his presence.
poslije dva dana oživit će nas, trećeg će nas dana podignuti i mi ćemo živjeti pred njim.
3 Let's get to know the Lord, really strive to know him, and he will appear to us as surely as the sun will rise; he will come to us as certainly as the spring rains fall on the earth.”
Težimo da upoznamo Jahvu: k'o zora pouzdan mu dolazak. On će nam doći poput dažda jesenskog, poput kiše proljetne što natapa zemlju.”
4 Ephraim, what shall I do with you? Judah, what shall I do with you? Your love disappears like mist at dawn; it vanishes like dew in the morning.
Što za tebe mogu učiniti, Efrajime? Što za tebe mogu učiniti, Judo? K'o oblak jutarnji ljubav je vaša, k'o rana rosa koje nestaje.
5 So I cut you down through the prophets; I killed you with my words. My judgment shines out like a light.
Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.
6 I want your true love, not your sacrifices; I want you to know me, not your burnt offerings.
Jer ljubav mi je mila, ne žrtve, poznavanje Boga, ne paljenice.
7 But you, just like Adam, broke our agreement, there you were unfaithful to me.
Al' oni su kod Adama prekršili Savez i ondje mene iznevjerili.
8 Gilead is a city of evil people where footprints are tracked in blood.
Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.
9 Priests are like a gang of bandits, lying in wait to ambush travelers on the road. They commit murder in Shechem, carrying out wicked crimes.
Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!
10 I have seen in the house of Israel something totally disgusting: Ephraim engages in prostitution and Israel is sexually corrupt.
Strahotu vidjeh u domu Izraelovu; Efrajim se ondje bludu odaje i skvrni se Izrael.
11 And as for you, Judah, your harvest-time has been set! When I restore the fortunes of my people,
I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.
