Книга пророка Осии 14

1 Обратися, Израилю, ко Господу Богу твоему, зане изнемогл еси в неправдах твоих.

[You people of] Israel, return to Yahweh our God. You are being punished because of the sins which you have committed.

2 Возмите с собою словеса и обратитеся ко Господу Богу вашему, рцыте Ему: (можеши всяк отврещи грех: ) яко да не приимете неправды, но да приимете благая, и воздадим плод устен 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 спасет нас, на кони не взыдем, ксему не речем:

[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 бози наши, делам рук наших: яко в Тебе помилуется сирота. Изцелю селения их, возлюблю я явленно, яко отвратися гнев Мой 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 Буду якоже роса Израилю, процветет яко крин и прострет корение свое якоже 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 Пойдут ветви его, и будет якоже маслина плодовита, и обоняние его аки 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 обратятся и сядут под кровом его, поживут и утвердятся пшеницею, и процветет яко виноград память его, якоже вино Ливаново.

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 Ефремови что ему еще и кумиром? Аз смирих его, Аз и укреплю его: аки смерчие учащеное, от Мене обретеся плод твой.

[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 премудр и уразумеет сия? И смыслен, и увесть сия? Яко правы путие Господни, и праведнии пойдут в них, а нечестивии изнемогут в 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.
