Osija 1
1 Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Osiji sinu Veirijevu za vremena Ozije, Joatama, Ahaza i Jezekije careva Judinijeh i za vremena Jerovoama sina Joasova cara Izrailjeva.
[I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
2 Kad Gospod poèe govoriti Osiji, reèe Gospod Osiji: idi, oženi se kurvom, i rodi kopilad, jer se zemlja prokurva otstupivši od Gospoda.
When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
3 I otide, i uze Gomeru kæer Divlaimsku, koja zatrudnje i rodi mu sina.
So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
4 Tada mu reèe Gospod: nadjeni mu ime Jezrael; jer još malo, pa æu pohoditi krv Jezraelsku na domu Jujevu i ukinuæu carstvo doma Izrailjeva.
Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
5 I u to æu vrijeme slomiti luk Izrailjev u dolini Jezraelskoj.
by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
6 I ona opet zatrudnje i rodi kæer; i Gospod mu reèe: nadjeni joj ime Loruhama; jer se više neæu smilovati na dom Izrailjev, nego æu ih ukinuti sasvijem.
[Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
7 A na dom Judin smilovaæu se, i izbaviæu ih Gospodom Bogom njihovijem, a neæu ih izbaviti lukom ni maèem ni ratom ni konjma ni konjicima.
But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
8 Potom odbivši od sise Loruhamu opet zatrudnje i rodi sina.
After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
9 I reèe Gospod: nadjeni mu ime Loamija; jer vi nijeste moj narod, niti æu ja biti vaš.
Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
10 Ali æe ipak broj sinova Izrailjevijeh biti kao pijesak morski, koji se ne može izmjeriti ni izbrojiti; i mjesto da im se reèe: nijeste moj narod, reæi æe im se: sinovi Boga živoga.
But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
11 I sabraæe se sinovi Judini i sinovi Izrailjevi ujedno, i postaviæe sebi jednoga poglavara i otiæi æe iz zemlje, jer æe biti velik dan Jezraelski.
[At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
