< Hosea 2 >

1 Say ye unto your brethren, O Ammi ["O my people"], and unto your sisters, O Ruhamah ["O compassionated one"]:
Recite braæi svojoj: narode moj; i sestrama svojim: pomilovana.
2 Contend ye with your mother, contend, for she is no wife of mine, and I am no husband of hers, Let her then put away her paramours from before her, and her partners in adultery, from her embraces:
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 Lest I strip off her under-clothing, and set her forth to view, as in the day she was born, —and make her like a wilderness, and render her like a land that is parched, and suffer her to 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 And, on her children, not have compassion, —because, the children of paramours, they are.
I neæu se smilovati na djecu njezinu, jer su kopilad.
5 For their mother, hath been unchaste, and she that conceived them, hath caused shame, —for she said, Let me go after my lovers! who used to give my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, mine oil, and my 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 me! hedging up her way, with thorns, —and I will wall her in, and, her footpaths, shall she not find.
Zato evo ja æu joj zagraditi put trnjem i zazidaæu zidom da ne naðe staza svojih.
7 And, when she shall pursue her lovers, and not overtake them, and shall seek them and not find, then will she say, Let me go my way now! and return unto my first husband, for it was better with me, then, 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 But, she, owneth not, that, I, gave her—the corn, and the new wine and the oil, —silver, also increased I unto her, and gold—[which] they offered to 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, will I again take away my corn, in the time thereof, and my new wine, in the season thereof, —and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to hide her shame.
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 Now, therefore, will I expose her unseemliness, before the eyes of her lovers, —and no, man, shall deliver her out of my hand!
I otkriæu rugobu njezinu pred milosnicima njezinijem, i niko je neæe izbaviti iz moje ruke.
11 And I will cause to cease all her mirth, her pilgrim-festival, her new moon and her sabbath, —and her every appointed meeting;
I ukinuæu svaku radost njezinu, svetkovine njezine, mladine njezine i subote njezine i sve praznike njezine.
12 And will lay waste her vine and her fig- tree, as to which she hath said, A present, are they for myself, which my lovers, have given me, —and I will make of them a thicket, and the wild beasts of the field shall 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 So will I visit upon her the days of the Baals, unto whom she used to burn incense, and decked herself with her nose-ring and her jewelry, and went her way after her lovers, —whereas, me, she forgat, Declareth Yahweh.
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, lo! I, am going to persuade her, and, though I conduct her forth into wilderness, yet will I speak unto her heart.
Ali evo, ja æu je primamiti i odvešæu je u pustinju, i govoriæu s njom lijepo.
15 Then will I give to her her vineyards from thence, and the vale of Achor ["trouble"] for a door of hope, —and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land 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 And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, that she will call me Ishi ["My husband"], and will not call me any more, Baali ["Mine owner"].
I tada æeš me, govori Gospod, zvati: mužu moj; a neæeš me više zvati: Vale moj.
17 So will I take away the names of the Baals, out of her mouth, —and they shall not be called to mind any more, by their name.
Jer æu ukloniti iz usta njezinijeh imena Vala; i neæe im se više pominjati imena.
18 And I will solemnize to them a covenant, in that day, with the wild-beast of the field, and with the bird of the heavens, and the creeping thing of the ground, —and, bow and sword and battle, will I break in pieces out of the land, so will I cause them to lie down, in security.
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 And I will take thee unto myself, unto times age-abiding, —yea I will take thee unto myself, in righteousness and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in abounding compassion:
I zaruèiæu te sebi dovijeka, zaruèiæu te sebi pravdom i sudom i milošæu i milosrðem.
20 Yea I will take thee unto myself, in faithfulness, —So shalt thou know Yahweh.
I zaruèiæu te sebi vjerom, i poznaæeš Gospoda.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will respond, Declareth Yahweh, I will respond to the heavens, —and, they, shall respond to the earth;
I tada æu se odazvati, govori Gospod, odazvaæu se nebesima, a ona æe se odazvati zemlji.
22 And, the earth, shall respond to the corn, and to the new wine and to the oil, —and, they, shall respond to Jezreel ["Whom GOD scattereth," "Whom GOD soweth"].
A zemlja æe se odazvati žitu i vinu i ulju, a to æe se odazvati Jezraelu.
23 So will I sow her unto me in the land, and will have compassion upon the uncompassionated one ["Lo-ruhamah"], —and will say to him who was No-people-of-mine ["Lo-ammi"], My people, thou art, and, he, shall say, 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!
