Hosea 2
1 Karena itu panggillah sesamamu dengan nama "Umat Allah" dan "Dikasihani TUHAN"
Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied.
2 TUHAN berkata, "Hai anak-anak-Ku, ibumu bukan istri-Ku lagi, dan Aku bukan suaminya. Sebab itu, perkarakanlah dia supaya ia jangan berzinah dan jangan melacur lagi.
Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery from between her breasts:
3 Jika ia tetap melacur, Aku akan menanggalkan pakaiannya supaya ia telanjang seperti pada hari ia dilahirkan. Akan Kujadikan dia seperti tanah kering dan gersang, maka ia akan mati kehausan.
that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst.
4 Kamu, anak-anaknya, tidak akan Kukasihani; kamu lahir dari pelacuran.
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication.
5 Ibumu pelacur yang tidak tahu malu. Ia berkata, 'Aku akan pergi kepada kekasih-kekasihku yang memberi aku makanan dan minuman, wol dan kain linen, minyak zaitun dan anggur.'
And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.
6 Sebab itu, Aku akan mengurung dia dengan belukar duri, dan menutup jalannya dengan pagar tembok.
Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.
7 Ia akan mengejar kekasih-kekasihnya, tapi tidak akan sampai kepada mereka. Ia akan mencari mereka, tapi tidak akan menemukan mereka. Lalu ia akan berkata, 'Aku akan kembali kepada suamiku yang pertama; dulu keadaanku lebih baik daripada sekarang.'
And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go, and return to my former husband; for it was better with me than now.
8 Ibumu tidak pernah mengakui bahwa Akulah yang memberi dia gandum, anggur, minyak zaitun, dan segala emas perak yang dipakainya untuk menyembah Baal itu.
And she knew not that I gave her her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold [images] for Baal.
9 Karena itu, di musim panen Aku akan menarik kembali pemberian-Ku, yaitu gandum dan anggur, serta wol dan kain linen yang Kuberikan kepadanya untuk pakaiannya.
Therefore I will return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its time; and I will take away my raiment and my linen clothes, so that she shall not cover her nakedness.
10 Akan Kutelanjangi dia di depan semua kekasihnya. Tak seorang pun dari mereka dapat melepaskan dia dari kekuasaan-Ku.
And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of my hand.
11 Segala pestanya akan Kuhentikan, baik pesta tahunan maupun pesta bulanan dan hari-hari Sabat; singkatnya, segala perayaan keagamaannya.
And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 Aku akan memusnahkan pohon-pohon anggur dan pohon-pohon ara yang menurut dia adalah upah pelayanannya kepada para kekasihnya. Akan Kuubah kebun-kebun anggur dan kebun-kebun aranya menjadi hutan; binatang-binatang buas akan merusaknya.
And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall devour them.
13 Aku akan menghukum dia karena hari-hari yang dipakainya untuk membakar dupa kepada Baal, serta bersolek dengan perhiasannya untuk mengejar kekasih-kekasihnya, lalu melupakan Aku sama sekali. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
And I will recompense on her the days of Baalim, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her ear-rings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the Lord.
14 TUHAN berkata, "Sebab itu Aku akan membawa dia ke padang gurun; di sana ia akan Kubujuk dengan kata-kata cinta.
Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.
15 Kebun-kebun anggurnya akan Kukembalikan kepadanya, dan Lembah Kesusahan akan Kujadikan pintu pengharapan. Di sana ia akan menyambut Aku seperti pada masa mudanya, ketika ia baru keluar dari Mesir.
And I will giver her possessions from thence, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Lalu ia akan menyebut Aku suaminya, dan bukan lagi Baalnya.
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] she shall call me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalim.
17 Aku tak akan mengizinkan dia menyebut nama Baal lagi, sehingga orang akan melupakan nama itu.
And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.
18 Pada waktu itu Aku akan membuat perjanjian dengan segala jenis binatang supaya mereka jangan mengganggu umat-Ku. Aku akan menghentikan segala peperangan dan menyingkirkan alat-alat perang dari negeri umat-Ku itu, dan membuat mereka hidup dengan tentram dan aman.
And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause you to dwell safely.
19 Israel, engkau akan Kujadikan istri-Ku, istri yang sah untuk selamanya. Engkau akan Kukasihani dan Kucintai selalu; Aku akan berlaku jujur dan setia.
And I will betroth you to myself for ever; yes, I will betroth you to myself in righteousness, and in judgement, and in mercy, and in tender compassions;
20 Sesuai janji-Ku, engkau akan Kunikahi. Engkau akan mengakui Aku sebagai Tuhanmu sendiri.
and I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness: and you shall know the Lord.
21 Pada waktu itu, bila umat-Ku Israel berdoa, Aku akan mendengarkan mereka. Dari langit Aku membuat hujan turun sehingga bumi menghasilkan gandum, anggur dan minyak zaitun.
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, I will listen to the heaven, and it shall listen to the earth;
and the earth shall listen to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall listen to Jezrael.
23 Akan Kubuat umat-Ku hidup sejahtera dan menetap di negeri mereka. Kepada mereka yang disebut 'Yang Tidak Dikasihani' akan Kutunjukkan bahwa mereka Kukasihi, dan kepada mereka yang disebut 'Bukan Umat-Ku' akan Kukatakan, 'Kamu Umat-Ku'. Mereka akan menjawab begini, 'Engkaulah Allah kami.'"
And I will sow her to me on the earth; and will love her that was not loved, and will say to that which was not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are the Lord my God.
