Hosea 2
1 [At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
Dizei a vossos irmãos: Meu Povo, e vossas irmãs: Amada.
2 [Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
Repreendei vossa mãe, repreendei; porque ela não é minha mulher, nem eu seu marido; que tire suas prostituições diante de si, e seus adultérios dentre seus peitos;
3 If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
Para não acontecer que eu a deixe nua, e a ponha como no dia em que nasceu, e a faça como um deserto, e a deixe como terra seca, e a mate de sede.
4 I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
E não terei compaixão de seus filhos, porque são filhos de prostituições.
5 Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
Pois sua mãe se prostituiu; a que os concebeu age de forma vergonhosa; porque disse: Irei atrás meus amantes, que dão meu pão e minha água, minha lã e meu linho, meu azeite e minha bebida.
6 So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
Portanto eis que cercarei teu caminho com espinhos, e levantarei uma parede de sebe, de modo que ela não poderá achar suas veredas.
7 They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are now.’
E ela correrá atrás de seus amantes, mas não os alcançará; ela os buscará, mas não os achará. Então dirá: Irei, e me voltarei ao meu primeiro marido; porque era melhor para mim então do que agora.
8 But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship Baal.
E ela não reconhecia que era eu que lhe dava o trigo, o vinho, e o azeite, e lhe multiplicava a prata e o ouro que usavam para Baal.
9 Therefore I will return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
Portanto tomarei de volta meu trigo a seu tempo, e meu vinho à sua estação, e tirarei minha lã e meu linho que servia para cobrir sua nudez.
10 I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
E agora deixarei exposta sua loucura diante dos olhos de seus amantes, e ninguém a livrará de minha mão.
11 I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
E farei cessar toda a sua alegria, suas festas, suas novas luas e seus sábados, e todas as suas festividades.
12 I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
Devastarei suas vides e suas figueiras, das quais diz: Estas são meu salário, que meus amantes me deram. Eu as reduzirei a uma matagal, e os animais do campo as comerão.
13 I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
Eu a castigarei pelos dias em que ela queimava incensos a Baal, e se adornava de seus pendentes e de suas joias, e seguia seus amantes, tendo se esquecido de mim, diz o SENHOR.
14 But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
Portanto, eis que eu a atrairei, e a levarei ao deserto, e falarei ao seu coração.
15 I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
E dali lhe darei suas vinhas, e o vale de Acor por porta de esperança; e ali ela cantará como nos tempos de sua juventude, como no dia em que subiu da terra do Egito.
16 At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
E será naquele dia, diz o SENHOR, me chamarás de meu marido, e não mais me chamarás de meu Baal.
17 I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
Porque tirarei de sua boca os nomes dos baalins, e nunca mais serão lembrados por seus nomes.
18 At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
E naquele dia farei por eles uma aliança com os animais do campo, as aves do céu, e os répteis da terra; e quebrarei o arco, a espada, e a batalha da terra, e os farei deitar em segurança.
19 I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
E te farei minha esposa para sempre; eu te farei minha esposa em justiça, juízo, bondade e misericórdias.
20 I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
E te farei minha esposa em fidelidade, e tu conhecerás ao SENHOR.
21 At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
E será que naquele tempo responderei, diz o SENHOR, eu responderei ao céu, e ele responderá à terra;
22 and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
E a terra responderá ao trigo, ao vinho, e ao azeite; e eles responderão a Jezreel.
23 [At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
E eu a semearei para mim na terra; amarei a Não-Amada; e direi a Não-Meu-Povo: Tu és meu povo; e ele dirá: [Tu és] meu Deus.
