Oséias 14
1 Converte-te, ó Israel, ao Senhor teu Deus; porque pelos teus peccados tens caido.
[You people of] Israel, return to Yahweh our God. You are being punished because of the sins which you have committed.
2 Tomae comvosco palavras, e convertei-vos ao Senhor: dizei-lhe: Tira toda a iniquidade, e recebe o bem; e pagaremos os bezerros dos nossos labios.
So now return to Yahweh and say [MTY] this to him: “Forgive us for all the sins that we have committed, and kindly accept (us/our sacrifices) in order that we may thank/praise you [IDM].
3 Não nos salvará a Assyria, não iremos montados em cavallos, e á obra das nossas mãos não diremos mais: Tu és o nosso Deus; porque por ti o orphão alcançará misericordia.
[We admit that] Assyria will not save us, and our war horses will not save us, either. We will never again say, ‘You are our gods’ to [the idols that] we [SYN] have made. You are the one who acts mercifully to orphans.”
4 Eu sararei a sua perversão, eu voluntariamente os amarei; porque a minha ira se apartou d'elles.
[Yahweh says, “If they say that to me, ] I will forgive them for having (turned away from/abandoned) me, and I will love them with all my inner being, because I [PRS] will have stopped being angry with them.
5 Eu serei a Israel como orvalho, elle florescerá como o lirio, e espalhará as suas raizes como o Libano.
I will be to the people of Israel like dew [that refreshes the soil]. When I do that, they will [become as delightful as] [MET] lilies are when they are blooming. [No one will be able to conquer them; ] they will be [as unmovable as] [SIM] the roots [of cedar trees].
6 Estender-se-hão as suas vergonteas, e a sua gloria será como a da oliveira, e cheirará como o Libano.
[Their good influence will spread] like [MET] the branches of a tree. They will be like [SIM] beautiful olive trees, and [they will be as delightful as] [SIM] the aroma of the cedar [trees in] Lebanon.
7 Voltarão os que se assentarem debaixo da sua sombra; serão vivificados como o trigo, e florescerão como a vide; a sua memoria será como o vinho do Libano.
People will [come to them to be protected] [like people are protected from the hot sun by being] [MET] in the shade [of a tree]. They [will (flourish/be strong) like] [SIM] grain that grows well. They will [be successful like] a vineyard [in which grapes grow abundantly]. They will become as famous/well-known as [SIM] the wines from Lebanon.
8 Ephraim então dirá: Que mais tenho eu com os idolos? eu o tenho ouvido, e olharei para elle: ser-lhe-hei como a faia verde: de mim é achado o teu fructo.
[You people of] Israel, do not [RHQ] have anything more to do with idols; if you [get rid of your idols], I will answer your [prayers] and take care of you. I am like [MET] a strong/green pine tree, and your blessings come from me.”
9 Quem é sabio, para que entenda estas coisas; quem é prudente, para que as saiba? porque os caminhos do Senhor são rectos, e os justos andarão n'elles, mas os transgressores cairão n'elles.
Those who are wise will understand the things [about which I have written]. Those who think well will pay careful attention to them. The things that Yahweh wants us to do [MET] are right; righteous people will conduct their lives adhering to them. But those who rebel against Yahweh will be ruined.
