< Осия 14 >
1 Обратись, Израиль, к Господу Богу твоему; ибо ты упал от нечестия твоего.
[You people of] Israel, return to Yahweh our God. You are being punished because of the sins which you have committed.
2 Возьмите с собою молитвенные слова и обратитесь к Господу; говорите Ему: “отними всякое беззаконие и прими во благо, и мы принесем жертву уст наших.
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 Ассур не будет уже спасать нас; не станем садиться на коня и не будем более говорить изделию рук наших: боги наши; потому что у Тебя милосердие для сирот”.
[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 Уврачую отпадение их, возлюблю их по благоволению; ибо гнев Мой отвратился от них.
[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 Я буду росою для Израиля; он расцветет, как лилия, и пустит корни свои, как Ливан.
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 Расширятся ветви его, и будет красота его, как маслины, и благоухание от него, как от Ливана.
[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 Возвратятся сидевшие под тенью его, будут изобиловать хлебом, и расцветут, как виноградная лоза, славны будут, как вино Ливанское.
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 “Что мне еще за дело до идолов?” - скажет Ефрем. Я услышу его и призрю на него; Я буду как зеленеющий кипарис; от Меня будут тебе плоды.
[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 Кто мудр, чтобы разуметь это? кто разумен, чтобы познать это? Ибо правы пути Господни, и праведники ходят по ним, а беззаконные падут на них.
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.
