Hosea 2
1 “Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’
Recite braæi svojoj: narode moj; i sestrama svojim: pomilovana.
2 Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
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 her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with 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 Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy, for they are children of unfaithfulness.
I neæu se smilovati na djecu njezinu, jer su kopilad.
5 For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my 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, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.
Zato evo ja æu joj zagraditi put trnjem i zazidaæu zidom da ne naðe staza svojih.
7 She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better with me 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 For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for 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 I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
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 I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
I otkriæu rugobu njezinu pred milosnicima njezinijem, i niko je neæe izbaviti iz moje ruke.
11 I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
I ukinuæu svaku radost njezinu, svetkovine njezine, mladine njezine i subote njezine i sve praznike njezine.
12 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me,’ and I will make them a forest, and the animals of the field shall eat 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 I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers and forgot me,” says the LORD.
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 behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
Ali evo, ja æu je primamiti i odvešæu je u pustinju, i govoriæu s njom lijepo.
15 I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor 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 It will be in that day,” says the LORD, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’
I tada æeš me, govori Gospod, zvati: mužu moj; a neæeš me više zvati: Vale moj.
17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
Jer æu ukloniti iz usta njezinijeh imena Vala; i neæe im se više pominjati imena.
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
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 I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
I zaruèiæu te sebi dovijeka, zaruèiæu te sebi pravdom i sudom i milošæu i milosrðem.
20 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
I zaruèiæu te sebi vjerom, i poznaæeš Gospoda.
21 It will happen in that day, that I will respond,” says the LORD. “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
I tada æu se odazvati, govori Gospod, odazvaæu se nebesima, a ona æe se odazvati zemlji.
22 and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
A zemlja æe se odazvati žitu i vinu i ulju, a to æe se odazvati Jezraelu.
23 I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘You are 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!
