Hosea 2

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
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'.	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’.
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!	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.
3 Then call your brothers, 'My people', and your sisters, 'You have been pitied'.	3 Recite braći svojoj: ‘Narode moj’, sestrama svojim: ‘Mila’.«
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,	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,
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.	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.
6 And I shal feel no pity for her children since they are the children of her whorings.	6 Ja joj djece neću milovati, jer djeca su to bludnička.
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.'	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.’
8 This is why I shal block her way with thorns, and wal her in to stop her in her tracks;	8 Stoga ću put joj trnjem zagraditi, zidom opkoliti, da ne nađe više svojih staza.
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;'	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.’
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!	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.
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,	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;
12 and then display her infamy before her lovers' eyes- no one will take her from me then!	12 sad ću joj otkriti sramotu na oči njenih milosnika, i nitko je iz moje neće izbaviti ruke.
13 I shal put an end to al her merrymaking, her festivals, her New Moons and her Sabbaths and al hersolemn feasts.	13 Učinit ću kraj svim njenim veseljima, svetkovinama, mlađacima, subotama i svim blagdanima njezinim.
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.	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.
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.	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.
16 But look, I am going to seduce her and lead her into the desert and speak to her heart.	16 »Stoga ću je, evo, primamiti, odvesti je u pustinju i njenu progovorit’ srcu.
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.	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.
18 When that day comes- declares Yahweh- you wil cal me, 'My husband', no more wil you cal me, 'MyBaal'.	18 U onaj dan« – riječ je Jahvina – »ti ćeš me zvati: ‘Mužu moj’, a nećeš me više zvati: ‘Moj Baale’.
19 I shal banish the names of the Baals from her lips and their name wil be mentioned no more.	19 Uklonit ću joj iz usta imena baalska i neće im više ime spominjati.
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.	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.
21 I shal betroth you to myself for ever, I shall betroth you in uprightness and justice, and faithful loveand tenderness.	21 Zaručit ću te sebi dovijeka; zaručit ću te u pravdi i u pravu, u nježnosti i u ljubavi;
22 Yes, I shall betroth you to myself in loyalty and in the knowledge of Yahweh.	22 zaručit ću te sebi u vjernosti i ti ćeš spoznati Jahvu.
23 When that day comes, I shal respond -declares Yahweh- I shal respond to the heavens and they willrespond to the earth	23 U onaj dan« – riječ je Jahvina – »odazvat ću se nebesima, a ona će se zemlji odazvati;
24 and the earth wil respond to the grain, the new wine and oil, and they wil respond to Jezreel.	24 zemlja će se odazvati žitu, moštu i ulju, a oni će se odazvati Jizreelu.
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.'	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!’«
