Osija 14
1 Obrati se, Izrailju, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, jer si pao svojega radi bezakonja.
Return, Israel, to the Lord your God, for you have stumbled in your iniquity.
2 Uzmite sa sobom rijeèi, i obratite se ka Gospodu; recite mu: oprosti sve bezakonje, i primi dobro; i daæemo žrtve usana svojih.
Take words of repentance with you, and return to the Lord your God. Say to him: Wholly pardon our iniquity, accept that which is good, instead of sacrificing bulls, we offer our praise.
3 Asirac nas ne može izbaviti, neæemo jahati na konjma, niti æemo više govoriti djelu ruku svojih: Bože naš; jer u tebe nalazi milost sirota.
Assyria will not save us, nor Egyptian warhorses, and we will no more call the work of our hands our gods. For in you orphan Israel finds mercy.
4 Iscijeliæu otpad njihov, ljubiæu ih drage volje; jer æe se gnjev moj odvratiti od njega.
‘I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, now that my anger is turned away from them,
5 Biæu kao rosa Izrailju, procvjetaæe kao ljiljan i pustiæe žile svoje kao drveta Livanska.
I will be as dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, he will plant his roots like the cedars of Lebanon,
6 Raširiæe se grane njegove, i ljepota æe mu biti kao u masline i miris kao Livanski.
his saplings will spread out, his beauty will be like that of the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.
7 Oni æe se vratiti i sjedjeti pod sjenom njegovijem, raðaæe kao žito i cvjetaæe kao vinova loza; spomen æe mu biti kao vino Livansko.
People will return and dwell in my shade, they will bring life to new grain. They shall sprout like the vine, and their renown will be like that of the wine of Lebanon.
8 Jefreme, šta æe mi više idoli? Ja æu ga uslišiti i gledati; ja æu mu biti kao jela zelena; od mene je tvoj plod.
Ephraim – what have I to do with idols! It is I the Lord who respond to him and look after him. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me is your fruit found.
9 Ko je mudar, neka razumije ovo; i razuman neka pozna ovo; jer su pravi putovi Gospodnji, i pravednici æe hoditi po njima, a prestupnici æe pasti na njima.
Whoever is wise, let him discern these things, prudent, let him perceive them; For the Lord’s ways are straight, and the righteous walk in them, but the wicked stumble in them.
