Osija 6
1 Hodite da se vratimo ka Gospodu; jer on razdrije, i iscijeliæe nas, rani, i zaviæe nas.
saying, ‘Come let us return to the Lord, for he has torn us but he will heal us, he has injured us but he will bandage our wounds,
2 Povratiæe nam život do dva dana, treæi dan podignuæe nas, i živjeæemo pred njim.
he will revive in a couple of days, on the third day he will raise us up again, to live in his presence.
3 Tada æemo poznati Gospoda i sve æemo ga više poznavati; jer mu je izlazak ureðen kao zora i doæi æe nam kao dažd, kao pozni dažd koji natapa zemlju.
Let us know, let us eagerly seek to know the Lord. His coming is as sure as the sunrise. He will come to us like the winter rain, as the spring rain that waters the earth.’

for it is love that I delight in and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God and not burnt offerings.
7 Ali oni prestupiše zavjet kao Adam; tu me iznevjeriše.
But they after the manner of men have transgressed the covenant, there they have played me false.
8 Galad je grad onijeh koji èine bezakonje, po njemu su krvavi tragovi.
Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with bloody footprints,
9 A družina je sveštenièka kao èeta koja doèekuje ljude, ubijaju na putu u Sihem, èine grdilo.

10 U domu Izrailjevu vidim strahotu; ondje je kurvanje Jefremovo, Izrailj se oskvrni.
In Bethel I have seen a horrible thing. There Ephraim plays the prostitute, Israel is defiled.
