Осія 6
1 Ходіть, і вернімось до Господа, бо Він пошматува́в — і нас вилікує, ударив — і нас перев'яже!
[The Israeli people say, ] “Come, let’s return to Yahweh! He has caused [us] to be injured, but he will heal us. He has caused [us] to be wounded, but [it is as though] he will put bandages on our wounds [MET].
2 Ожи́вить він нас до двох день, а третього дня нас поставить, — і будемо жити ми перед обличчям Його.
After a very short time he will revive us; in less than three days he will restore us in order that we may live in his presence.
3 І пізнаймо, намагаймось пізнати ми Господа! Міцно поставлений прихід Його, мов зірниці, і Він при́йде до нас, немов дощ, немов дощ весняни́й, що напоює землю.
We must try to know Yahweh; [if we do that, ] he will come [and help] us, as surely as the sun rises [every morning], as surely as rain falls every winter/cold season, and as surely as the rain falls again (in the springtime/at the end of the cold season).”
4 Що, Єфреме, зроблю́ Я тобі, що зроблю тобі, Юдо? І Бо ваша любов, немов хмара поранку, і мов та роса, що зникає уранці, —
[But Yahweh knows they are insincere; ] [so he says to them, ] “You [people of] Israel, and you [people of] Judah, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should do to you. Your being faithful [to me will disappear as quickly] as [SIM] the morning mist [disappears], like [SIM] the dew [on the ground] that disappears quickly [when the sun shines].
5 тому Я тесав їх пророками, позабивав їх проре́ченням уст Своїх, і суд Мій, як світло те, вийде.
I warned [HYP] you by [the messages that I gave to] the prophets, [but you did not pay attention to my messages]. Therefore I will completely destroy you; the punishment that I give you will strike you like lightning.
6 Бо Я милости хочу, а не жертви, і Богопізна́ння — більше від цілопалень.
I want [my people] to faithfully love [me] more than [I want them to offer] sacrifices [to me]; [I want them] to know me more than [I want them to] completely burn sacrifices [on the altar].
7 Вони заповіта Мого порушили, мов той Ада́м, вони там Мене зрадили.
But they have refused to obey my agreement, [just] like Adam did; they have not been faithful to me.
8 Ґілеад, місто злочинців, повне кривавих слідів.
Gilead is a city [full] of people who do wicked things; [in the streets] are the bloody footprints [of those who have murdered others].
9 І як той розбишака чига́є, так ватага священиків на дорозі в Сихем — учиняють розбі́й, бо зло́чин учиняють вони.
The priests are like [SIM] bandits who wait (in ambushes/along the road) to attack people; they murder [people who are walking] on the road to Shechem, and they commit other disgraceful crimes.
10 У домі Ізраїля бачу жахли́ве, — там блуд у Єфрема, занечи́стивсь Ізраїль.
I have seen horrible things [being done] in Israel [MTY]. The people have abandoned me [like prostitutes who have abandoned their husbands] [MET]; [so the people of] Israel have become unacceptable to me.
11 Також, Юдо, для тебе жнива́ пригото́влені, як Я долю наро́ду Свого поверну́!
And you [people of] Judah, I have appointed a time when I will punish [MET] you, too. Whenever I wanted to enable my people to prosper again,”
