Osee 6
1 In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will smite, and bind us up.
“Hajde, vratimo se Jahvi! On je razderao, on će nas iscijeliti: on je udario, on će nam poviti rane;
2 After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:
poslije dva dana oživit će nas, trećeg će nas dana podignuti i mi ćemo živjeti pred njim.
3 let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
Težimo da upoznamo Jahvu: k'o zora pouzdan mu dolazak. On će nam doći poput dažda jesenskog, poput kiše proljetne što natapa zemlju.”
4 What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
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.
5 Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light.
Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.
6 For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings.
Jer ljubav mi je mila, ne žrtve, poznavanje Boga, ne paljenice.
7 But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
Al' oni su kod Adama prekršili Savez i ondje mene iznevjerili.
8 there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.
9 And thy strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.
Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!
10 I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
Strahotu vidjeh u domu Izraelovu; Efrajim se ondje bludu odaje i skvrni se Izrael.
11 begin together grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.
