Hošea 14

Biblija Hrvatski	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Ispaštat će Samarija jer se protiv Boga svoga pobunila. Od mača past će oni, djecu će njihovu smrskati, žene trudne rasporiti.	1 Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
2 Vrati se, Izraele, Jahvi Bogu svome, jer zbog svojeg si bezakonja posrnuo.	2 Take with you words and return to the LORD; say to him, "Take away all iniquity; accept that which is good and we will render the fruit of our lips.
3 Uzmite sa sobom riječi i Jahvi se vratite. Recite mu: »Skini s nas bezakonje i dobrohotno primi da ti prinesemo plod svojih usana.	3 Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses; and we will say no more, 'Our God,' to the work of our hands. In thee the orphan finds mercy."
4 Asirac nas neće izbavljati i nećemo konje više jahati niti ćemo djelu ruku svojih govoriti: ‘Bože naš!’ – jer u tebe sirota milost nalazi.«	4 I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them.
5 Iscijelit ću ih od njihova otpada, od svega ću ih srca ljubiti; jer gnjev se moj odvratio od njih.	5 I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar;
6 Bit ću kao rosa Izraelu; kao ljiljan on će cvasti, pustit će korijen poput jablana,	6 his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 nadaleko pružat će izdanke. Ljepota će mu biti kao u masline, miris poput libanonskog.	7 They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom as the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Opet će u mojoj sjeni boraviti, uzgajat će svoju pšenicu, vinograde gajit’ što će steći ime vina helbonskog.	8 O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me comes your fruit.
9 Efrajime, što ti imaš još s kumirima? Ja sam ga uslišao i pogledao. Ja sam poput zelena čempresa: po meni si rodan plodovima.	9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
10 Tko je mudar neka shvati ovo, i čovjek razuman neka spozna! Jer pravi su putovi Jahvini: pravednici hode po njima, grešnici na njima posrću.
