Hosea 6

"Hajde, vratimo se Jahvi! On je razderao, on će nas iscijeliti: on je udario, on će nam poviti rane;

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

poslije dva dana oživit će nas, trećeg će nas dana podignuti i mi ćemo živjeti pred njim.

After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Težimo da upoznamo Jahvu: k'o zora pouzdan mu dolazak. On će nam doći poput dažda jesenskog, poput kiše proljetne što natapa zemlju."

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Što za tebe mogu učiniti, Efrajime? Što za tebe mogu učiniti, Judo? K'o oblak jutarnji ljubav je vaša, k'o rana rosa koje nestaje.

O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.

Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

Jer ljubav mi je mila, ne žrtve, poznavanje Boga, ne paljenice.

For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Al' oni su kod Adama prekršili Savez i ondje mene iznevjerili.

But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.

Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.

Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!

And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

Strahotu vidjeh u domu Izraelovu; Efrajim se ondje bludu odaje i skvrni se Izrael.

I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.

Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
