Hosea 14
1 O Israel, return to the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thy iniquity.
Obrati se, Izrailju, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, jer si pao svojega radi bezakonja.
2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
Uzmite sa sobom rijeèi, i obratite se ka Gospodu; recite mu: oprosti sve bezakonje, i primi dobro; i daæemo žrtve usana svojih.
3 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
Asirac nas ne može izbaviti, neæemo jahati na konjma, niti æemo više govoriti djelu ruku svojih: Bože naš; jer u tebe nalazi milost sirota.
4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for my anger is turned away from him.
Iscijeliæu otpad njihov, ljubiæu ih drage volje; jer æe se gnjev moj odvratiti od njega.
5 I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Biæu kao rosa Izrailju, procvjetaæe kao ljiljan i pustiæe žile svoje kao drveta Livanska.
6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
Raširiæe se grane njegove, i ljepota æe mu biti kao u masline i miris kao Livanski.
7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and grow as the vine: the scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
Oni æe se vratiti i sjedjeti pod sjenom njegovijem, raðaæe kao žito i cvjetaæe kao vinova loza; spomen æe mu biti kao vino Livansko.
8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
Jefreme, šta æe mi više idoli? Ja æu ga uslišiti i gledati; ja æu mu biti kao jela zelena; od mene je tvoj plod.
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them.
Ko je mudar, neka razumije ovo; i razuman neka pozna ovo; jer su pravi putovi Gospodnji, i pravednici æe hoditi po njima, a prestupnici æe pasti na njima.
