Ozej 6
1 Pridite in vrnimo se h Gospodu, kajti on je raztrgal in on nas bo ozdravil. Udaril je in nas bo obvezal.
“Come, let us return to Yahweh. For he has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us; he has injured us, but he will bandage our wounds.
2 Po dveh dneh nas bo oživil, v tretjem dnevu nas bo dvignil in živeli bomo v njegovem pogledu.
After two days he will revive us; he will raise us up on the third day, and we will live before him.
3 Takrat bomo vedeli ali še naprej sledimo, da bi spoznali Gospoda; njegov izhod je pripravljen kakor jutro in prišel bo k nam kakor dež, kakor pozni in prvi dež na zemljo.
Let us know Yahweh; let us press on to know Yahweh. His coming out is as sure as the dawn; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the land.”
4 »Oh Efrájim, kaj naj ti storim? Oh Juda, kaj naj ti storim? Kajti vaša dobrota je kakor jutranji oblak in kakor zgodnja rosa odide proč.
Ephraim, what will I do with you? Judah, what will I do with you? Your faithfulness is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early.
5 Zatorej sem jih obtesaval po prerokih, moril sem jih z besedami iz svojih ust. Tvoje sodbe so kakor svetloba, ki gre naprej.
So I have cut them to pieces by the prophets, I have killed them with the words of my mouth. Your decrees are like the light that shines out.
6 Kajti želel sem usmiljenja in ne klavne daritve, in spoznanja Boga bolj kakor žgalne daritve.
For I desire faithfulness and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Toda podobni so ljudem, ki so prestopili zavezo. Tam so zoper mene ravnali zahrbtno.
Like Adam they have broken the covenant; they were unfaithful to me.
8 Gileád je mesto tistih, ki počno krivičnost in je oskrunjeno s krvjo.
Gilead is a city of evildoers with footprints of blood.
9 Kakor krdela roparjev prežijo na človeka, tako skupina duhovnikov mori po poti z odobravanjem, kajti zagrešujejo nespodobnost.
As gangs of robbers wait for someone, so the priests band together to commit murder on the way to Shechem; they have committed shameful crimes.
10 Videl sem strašno stvar v Izraelovi hiši. Tam je vlačugarstvo Efrájima, Izrael je omadeževan.
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's prostitution is there, and Israel has become unclean.
11 Prav tako, oh Juda, on je zate pripravil žetev, ko vrnem ujetništvo svojega ljudstva.
For you also, Judah, a harvest has been appointed, when I will restore the fortunes of my people.
