Osija 14
1 Obrati se, Izrailju, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, jer si pao svojega radi bezakonja.
Return thou, O Israel, unto Yahweh thy God, —for thou hast stumbled by thine 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 with you words, and return to Yahweh: say unto him—Wholly, shalt thou take away iniquity, Accept, then, with favour, and we will make good the boldness of our lips!
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, shall not save us, Upon horses, will we not ride, neither will we say any more—Our god! to the work of our own hands! For, in thee, shall the fatherless, find compassion.
4 Iscijeliæu otpad njihov, ljubiæu ih drage volje; jer æe se gnjev moj odvratiti od njega.
I will heal their apostacy, I will love them freely, —for mine anger, hath turned, from them.
5 Biæu kao rosa Izrailju, procvjetaæe kao ljiljan i pustiæe žile svoje kao drveta Livanska.
I will become as the dew unto Israel, he shall break forth as the lily, —and he shall strike his roots as Lebanon:
6 Raširiæe se grane njegove, i ljepota æe mu biti kao u masline i miris kao Livanski.
His branches, shall spread, that, like an olive-tree, may be his fresh beauty, —and his fragrance, like 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.
They who dwell in his shade shall again show life like the corn, and break forth as the vine, —and, the remembrance of him, shall be like 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 [saith] —What to me any more are idols? I, have answered, and have closely observed him, I, am like a fir-tree that is green, From me, is thy 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.
Who is wise, that he may understand these things? intelligent, that he may take knowledge of them? For, straightforward, are the ways of Yahweh, and, the righteous, shall travel therein, but, transgressors, shall stumble therein.
