Hosea 2
1 Karena itu panggillah sesamamu dengan nama "Umat Allah" dan "Dikasihani TUHAN"
“Say to your brothers, ‘You are my people,’ and to your sister, ‘You have obtained mercy.’
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.
Judge your mother, judge: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove her fornications from before her face and her adulteries 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.
Otherwise, I may expose her nakedness and set her as on the day of her birth, and I may establish her as a wilderness and set her as an impassable land, and I may execute her with thirst.
4 Kamu, anak-anaknya, tidak akan Kukasihani; kamu lahir dari pelacuran.
And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.
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.'
For their mother has been fornicating; she who conceived them has been brought to ruin. 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.’
6 Sebab itu, Aku akan mengurung dia dengan belukar duri, dan menutup jalannya dengan pagar tembok.
Because of this, behold, I will fence in your way with thorns, and I will surround it with a wall, and she will not find her paths.
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 will pursue her lovers, but she will not obtain them, and she will seek them, but she will not find them, and she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, because it was to some extent better for me then, than it is 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 did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and that I increased her silver and gold, which they made into 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.
For this reason, I will turn back, and I will take away my grain in its time and my wine in its time, and I will set free my wool and my flax, which had covered her disgrace.
10 Akan Kutelanjangi dia di depan semua kekasihnya. Tak seorang pun dari mereka dapat melepaskan dia dari kekuasaan-Ku.
And now, I will reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.
11 Segala pestanya akan Kuhentikan, baik pesta tahunan maupun pesta bulanan dan hari-hari Sabat; singkatnya, segala perayaan keagamaannya.
And I will cause all her joy to cease: her solemnities, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her feast dates.
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 corrupt her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, ‘These rewards, they are mine, my lovers have given them to me.’ And I will place her in a narrow forest, and the beasts of the field will devour her.
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 inflict on her the days of the Baals, for whom she burned incense, and ornamented herself with earrings and necklace, and went after her lovers, and forgot about 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.
“Because of this, behold, I will attract her, and I will lead her into the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart.
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 give to her, from the same place, her vinedressers, and the valley of Achor as a passage of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the days of her ascension from the land of Egypt.
16 Lalu ia akan menyebut Aku suaminya, dan bukan lagi Baalnya.
And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “that she will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and she will no longer call me, ‘My Baal.’
17 Aku tak akan mengizinkan dia menyebut nama Baal lagi, sehingga orang akan melupakan nama itu.
And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name.
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 in that day, I will strike a deal with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creatures of the earth. And I will crush the bow and the sword, and I will wipe away war from the earth. And I will let them sleep securely.
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 me forever, and I will betroth you to me in justice and judgment, and in mercy and compassion.
20 Sesuai janji-Ku, engkau akan Kunikahi. Engkau akan mengakui Aku sebagai Tuhanmu sendiri.
And I will wed you to me in faith, and you will know that I am 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 this will happen in that day: I will listen closely,” says the Lord. “I will hear the heavens, and they will hear the earth.
And the land will pay attention to the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and these will hear Jezreel.
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 plant her for me in the land, and I will have mercy on her, though she had been called Without Mercy. And I will say to Not My People, ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
