Hošea 2

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 »A djece Izraelove bit će brojem k’o pijeska u moru što se izmjerit’ ne može ni izbrojit’. Umjesto da im govore: ‘Vi niste moj narod’, zvat će ih: ‘Sinovi Boga živoga’.	1 But the Israelites wil become as numerous as the sands of the sea, which cannot be measured orcounted. In the very place where they were told, 'You are not my people,' they wil be told they are 'Children ofthe living God'.
2 Ujedinit će se sinovi Judini i sinovi Izraelovi, postavit će sebi jednoga glavara i otići će iz zemlje; jer velik će biti dan jizreelski.	2 The Judaeans and Israelites will be reunited and wil choose themselves a single head, and will spreadfar beyond their country, for great will be the Day of Jezreel!
3 Recite braći svojoj: ‘Narode moj’, sestrama svojim: ‘Mila’.«	3 Then call your brothers, 'My people', and your sisters, 'You have been pitied'.
4 »Podignite tužbu, podignite, protiv majke svoje, jer ona mi nije više žena, a ja joj muž više nisam. Nek’ odbaci od sebe bludničenja i preljube izmeđ’ svojih dojki,	4 To court, take your mother to court! For she is no longer my wife nor am I her husband. She must eitherremove her whoring ways from her face and her adulteries from between her breasts,
5 da je golu ne svučem te učinim da bude k’o na dan rođenja; da je ne obratim u pustinju, da je u zemlju suhu ne obratim i žeđu ne umorim.	5 or I shal strip her and expose her naked as the day she was born; I shall make her as bare as thedesert, I shall make her as dry as arid country, and let her die of thirst.
6 Ja joj djece neću milovati, jer djeca su to bludnička.	6 And I shal feel no pity for her children since they are the children of her whorings.
7 Da, bludu se odala mati njihova, sramotila se ona koja ih zače. Da, rekla je: ‘Trčat ću za svojim milosnicima, za njima koji mi daju kruh moj i vodu, vunu moju i lan, ulje i piće moje.’	7 Yes, their mother has played the whore, she who conceived them has disgraced herself by saying, 'Ishall chase after my lovers; they will assure me my keep, my wool, my flax, my oil and my drinks.'
8 Stoga ću put joj trnjem zagraditi, zidom opkoliti, da ne nađe više svojih staza.	8 This is why I shal block her way with thorns, and wal her in to stop her in her tracks;
9 I trčat će za milosnicima, ali ih stići neće, tražit će ih, al’ ih neće pronaći. Tada će reći: ‘Idem se vratiti prvome mužu, jer sretnija bijah prije nego sada.’	9 then if she chases her lovers she wil not catch them, if she looks for them she wil not find them, andthen she wil say, 'I shal go back to my first husband, I was better off then than I am now;'
10 I ona nije razumjela da joj ja davah i žito i mošt i ulje, da je ja obasipah srebrom i zlatom od kojega načiniše baale.	10 she had never realised before that I was the one who was giving her the grain, new wine and oil,giving her more and more silver and gold which they have spent on Baal!
11 Stoga ću uzeti natrag svoje žito u svoje vrijeme i svoj mošt u pravi čas; oduzet ću svoju vunu i svoj lan kojima je imala pokriti golotinju svoju;	11 This is why I shal take back my grain when it is due and my new wine, when the season for it comes. Ishall withdraw my wool and my flax which were to cover her naked body,
12 sad ću joj otkriti sramotu na oči njenih milosnika, i nitko je iz moje neće izbaviti ruke.	12 and then display her infamy before her lovers' eyes- no one will take her from me then!
13 Učinit ću kraj svim njenim veseljima, svetkovinama, mlađacima, subotama i svim blagdanima njezinim.	13 I shal put an end to al her merrymaking, her festivals, her New Moons and her Sabbaths and al hersolemn feasts.
14 Opustošit ću joj čokote i smokve za koje je govorila: ‘To je plaća što mi je dadoše moji milosnici.’ Obratit ću ih u šikarje, i životinje će ih poljske obrstiti.	14 I shal make her vines and fig trees derelict of which she used to say, 'These are the pay my loversgave me.' I shal turn them into a jungle: wild animals wil feed on them.
15 Kaznit ću je za dane Baalove kojima je kâd palila, kitila se grivnom i kolajnom i trčala za svojim milosnicima; a mene je zaboravljala« – riječ je Jahvina.	15 I mean to make her pay for the feast-days on which she burnt incense to the Baals, when she trickedherself out in her earrings and necklaces to chase after her lovers, and forget me! -declares Yahweh.
16 »Stoga ću je, evo, primamiti, odvesti je u pustinju i njenu progovorit’ srcu.	16 But look, I am going to seduce her and lead her into the desert and speak to her heart.
17 I vratit ću joj ondje njene vinograde, i od doline ću akorske učiniti vrata nade. Ondje će mi odgovarat’ ona kao u dane svoje mladosti, kao u vrijeme kada je izišla iz Egipta.	17 There I shall give her back her vineyards, and make the Vale of Achor a gateway of hope. There shewil respond as when she was young, as on the day when she came up from Egypt.
18 U onaj dan« – riječ je Jahvina – »ti ćeš me zvati: ‘Mužu moj’, a nećeš me više zvati: ‘Moj Baale’.	18 When that day comes- declares Yahweh- you wil cal me, 'My husband', no more wil you cal me, 'MyBaal'.
19 Uklonit ću joj iz usta imena baalska i neće im više ime spominjati.	19 I shal banish the names of the Baals from her lips and their name wil be mentioned no more.
20 U onaj dan, učinit ću za njih savez sa životinjama u polju, s pticama nebeskim i gmazovima zemskim; lûk, mač i boj istrijebit ću iz zemlje da mirno u njoj počiva.	20 When that day comes I shal make a treaty for them with the wild animals, with the birds of heavenand the creeping things of the earth; I shal break the bow and the sword and warfare, and banish them from thecountry, and I wil let them sleep secure.
21 Zaručit ću te sebi dovijeka; zaručit ću te u pravdi i u pravu, u nježnosti i u ljubavi;	21 I shal betroth you to myself for ever, I shall betroth you in uprightness and justice, and faithful loveand tenderness.
22 zaručit ću te sebi u vjernosti i ti ćeš spoznati Jahvu.	22 Yes, I shall betroth you to myself in loyalty and in the knowledge of Yahweh.
23 U onaj dan« – riječ je Jahvina – »odazvat ću se nebesima, a ona će se zemlji odazvati;	23 When that day comes, I shal respond -declares Yahweh- I shal respond to the heavens and they willrespond to the earth
24 zemlja će se odazvati žitu, moštu i ulju, a oni će se odazvati Jizreelu.	24 and the earth wil respond to the grain, the new wine and oil, and they wil respond to Jezreel.
25 I posijat ću ga u zemlji, zamilovat ću Nemilu, Ne-narodu mom reći ću: ‘Ti si narod moj!’ a on će reći: ‘Bože moj!’«	25 I shal sow her in the country to be mine, I shall take pity on Lo-Ruhamah, I shal tell Lo-Ammi, 'Youare my people,' and he will say, 'You are my God.'
