Hosea 14
1 “Turn back, O Israel, to your God YHWH, For you have stumbled by your iniquity.
Oh Izrael, vrni se h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, kajti padel si zaradi svoje krivičnosti.
2 Take words with you, and turn to YHWH, Say to Him, Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we render the fruit of our lips.
S seboj vzemite besede in se obrnite h Gospodu. Recite mu: ›Odvzemi proč vso krivičnost in nas milostljivo sprejmi, tako bomo povrnili teleta svojih ustnic.‹
3 Asshur does not save us, we do not ride on a horse, Nor do we say anymore, Our god, to the work of our hands, For in You the fatherless find mercy.
Asúr nas ne bo rešil, ne bomo jahali na konjih niti delu naših rok ne bomo več rekli: › Vi ste naši bogovi, ‹ kajti v tebi osiroteli najde usmiljenje.
4 I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For My anger has turned back from him.
Jaz bom ozdravil njihov odpad, velikodušno jih bom ljubil, kajti moja jeza se je odvrnila od njega.
5 I am as dew to Israel, he flourishes as a lily, And he strikes forth his roots as Lebanon.
Izraelu bom kakor rosa. Rasel bo kakor lilija in svoje korenine poganjal kakor Libanon.
6 His shoots go on, And his splendor is as an olive, And he has fragrance as Lebanon.
Njegove mladike se bodo razširile in njegova lepota bo kakor oljka in njegov vonj kakor Libanon.
7 The dwellers return under his shadow, They revive [as] grain, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.
Tisti, ki prebivajo pod njegovo senco, se bodo vrnili; oživeli bodo kakor žito in rastli kakor trta. Njegova vonjava bo kakor libanonsko vino.
8 O Ephraim, what have I anymore to do with idols? I have answered, and I look after him: I [am] as a green fir-tree, Your fruit is found from Me.
Efrájim bo rekel: ›Kaj imam še opraviti z maliki?‹ Slišal sem ga in ga opazil. Podoben sem zeleni cipresi. Od mene je najti tvoj sad.
9 Who [is] wise, and understands these? Prudent, and knows them? For upright are the ways of YHWH, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!”
Kdo je moder in bo razumel te stvari? Razsoden in jih bo spoznal? Kajti Gospodove poti so pravilne in pravični se bo ravnal po njih. Toda prestopniki bodo padli na njih.«
