Hosea 2

1 “On that day you will call your brothers Ammi, and you will call your sisters Ruhamah.

Recite braæi svojoj: narode moj; i sestrama svojim: pomilovana.

2 Condemn your mother, condemn her because she is not my wife and I am not her husband. Tell her to stop looking like a prostitute—get rid of the makeup and the provocative clothing.

Prite se s materom svojom, prite se, jer mi nije žena, niti sam joj ja muž; neka odbaci kurvarstva svoja od lica svojega, i preljube svoje od dojaka svojih,

3 Otherwise I will strip her naked as the day she was born, and make her like a desert, a barren land, and let her die of thirst.

Da je ne bih svukao golu i uèinio je kaka je bila onaj dan kad se rodila, i da je ne bih postavio da bude kao pustinja i obratio je da bude kao zemlja zasušena, i umorio je žeðu.

4 I will have no pity on her children because they are children of prostitution.

I neæu se smilovati na djecu njezinu, jer su kopilad.

5 For their mother was a prostitute who conceived them in a shameful way. She said, ‘I'll run after my lovers who give me my food and water, my wool and flax and olive oil, and my drink.’

Jer se mati njihova kurva, sramoti se roditeljka njihova; jer govori: iæi æu za milosnicima svojim koji mi daju hljeb moj i vodu moju, vunu moju i lan moj, ulje moje i piæe moje.

6 That is why I am going to block her path with thorn bushes, and build a stone wall to stop her so she won't find her way.

Zato evo ja æu joj zagraditi put trnjem i zazidaæu zidom da ne naðe staza svojih.

7 When she runs after her lovers she won't catch up with them; she'll look for them but she won't find them. Then she'll say, ‘Let me go back to my former husband, because it was better for me then than now.’

I trèaæe za svojim milosnicima, ali ih neæe stignuti; i tražiæe ih, ali ih neæe naæi; pa æe reæi: idem da se vratim k prvomu mužu svojemu, jer mi bješe bolje onda nego sada.

8 She doesn't consider that it was me who gave her grain, new wine, and olive oil; the silver and the gold which I gave her abundantly that they made into an idol of Baal.

Jer ona ne zna da sam joj ja davao žito i vino i ulje, i umnožavao joj srebro i zlato, od kojega naèiniše Vala.

9 So I will take back my ripened grain and my new wine I gave at harvest time. I will take back my wool and my flax I provided to cover her nakedness.

Zato æu uzeti natrag žito svoje, kad bude vrijeme, i vino svoje, kad bude vrijeme, i uzeæu vunu svoju i lan svoj, kojim bi pokrivala golotinju svoju.

10 I will strip her naked while her lovers watch; no one will be able to rescue her from me.

I otkriæu rugobu njezinu pred milosnicima njezinijem, i niko je neæe izbaviti iz moje ruke.

11 I will put a stop to all her festivities: her feasts, new moon celebrations, special Sabbaths—all her festivals.

I ukinuæu svaku radost njezinu, svetkovine njezine, mladine njezine i subote njezine i sve praznike njezine.

12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees that she said were given to her as payment for being a prostitute. I will turn them into scrub-land; only wild animals will eat the remaining fruit.

I potræu èokote njezine i smokve, za koje govori: plata su mi, što mi dadoše milosnici moji; i obratiæu ih u šumu da ih jede zvijerje poljsko.

13 I will punish her for all the times she offered incense to Baal, dressing herself up, putting on rings and jewelry, going after her lovers, but forgetting about me, declares the Lord.

I pohodiæu na njoj dane Valimske, u koje im je kadila i kitila se obocima i grivnama, i išla za svojim milosnicima, i mene zaboravila, govori Gospod.

14 See what I'm going to do! I will win her back, taking her into the desert where I will speak to her heart-to-heart.

Ali evo, ja æu je primamiti i odvešæu je u pustinju, i govoriæu s njom lijepo.

15 There I will return her vineyards to her and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond to me as she did when she was young, as in the time when she left the land of Egypt.

I daæu joj vinograde njezine od toga mjesta, i dolinu Ahor za vrata nadanju, i ondje æe pjevati kao za mladosti svoje i kao kad je išla iz Misira.

16 Then on that day, says the Lord, you will call me ‘my husband’ and not ‘my Baal.’

I tada æeš me, govori Gospod, zvati: mužu moj; a neæeš me više zvati: Vale moj.

17 I will stop her appealing to the Baals—their names won't be mentioned ever again.

Jer æu ukloniti iz usta njezinijeh imena Vala; i neæe im se više pominjati imena.

18 At that time I will make a solemn agreement with the wild animals and the birds of the sky and the creeping things of the ground. I will do away with the bow and the sword; I will abolish war from the land so you can lie down in safety.

I tada æu im uèiniti zavjet sa zvijerjem poljskim i sa pticama nebeskim i s bubinama zemaljskim; i polomiæu luk i maè i rat da ih nestane u zemlji, i uèiniæu da leže bez straha.

19 I will make you my wife forever; I will make you my wife in goodness and justice and love and mercy.

I zaruèiæu te sebi dovijeka, zaruèiæu te sebi pravdom i sudom i milošæu i milosrðem.

20 I will be faithful to you, my wife, and you will know me as the Lord.

I zaruèiæu te sebi vjerom, i poznaæeš Gospoda.

21 On that day, declares the Lord, I will answer the heavens and they will answer the earth.

I tada æu se odazvati, govori Gospod, odazvaæu se nebesima, a ona æe se odazvati zemlji.

22 The earth will answer the grain, and the new wine, and the olive oil, and they shall answer, ‘Jezreel’ (God sows).

A zemlja æe se odazvati žitu i vinu i ulju, a to æe se odazvati Jezraelu.

23 I will ‘sow’ her for myself in the earth. I will love Lo-ruhamah (unloved) and I will say ‘you are my people’ to Lo-ammi (not my people), and they will say ‘You are my God.’”

I posijaæu je sebi na zemlji, i smilovaæu se na Loruhamu, i reæi æu Loamiji: ti si moj narod, i on æe reæi: Bože moj!
