Hosea 6
1 [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].
Pridite in vrnimo se h Gospodu, kajti on je raztrgal in on nas bo ozdravil. Udaril je in nas bo obvezal.
2 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.
Po dveh dneh nas bo oživil, v tretjem dnevu nas bo dvignil in živeli bomo v njegovem pogledu.
3 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).”
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.
4 [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].
»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.
5 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.
Zatorej sem jih obtesaval po prerokih, moril sem jih z besedami iz svojih ust. Tvoje sodbe so kakor svetloba, ki gre naprej.
6 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].
Kajti želel sem usmiljenja in ne klavne daritve, in spoznanja Boga bolj kakor žgalne daritve.
7 But they have refused to obey my agreement, [just] like Adam did; they have not been faithful to me.
Toda podobni so ljudem, ki so prestopili zavezo. Tam so zoper mene ravnali zahrbtno.
8 Gilead is a city [full] of people who do wicked things; [in the streets] are the bloody footprints [of those who have murdered others].
Gileád je mesto tistih, ki počno krivičnost in je oskrunjeno s krvjo.
9 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.
Kakor krdela roparjev prežijo na človeka, tako skupina duhovnikov mori po poti z odobravanjem, kajti zagrešujejo nespodobnost.
10 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.
Videl sem strašno stvar v Izraelovi hiši. Tam je vlačugarstvo Efrájima, Izrael je omadeževan.
11 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,”
Prav tako, oh Juda, on je zate pripravil žetev, ko vrnem ujetništvo svojega ljudstva.
