Joil 2

Study

   

1 Trubite u trubu na Sionu, i vičite na svetoj gori mojoj, neka drhću svi stanovnici zemaljski, jer ide dan Gospodnji, jer je blizu.

2 Dan, kad je mrak i tama, Dan, kada je oblak i magla; kako se zora razastire povrh gora, tako ide narod velik i silan, kakvog nije bilo otkad je veka niti će ga posle kad biti od kolena do kolena.

3 Pred njim proždire oganj, a za njim pali plamen; zemlja je Pred njim kao vrt edemski, a za njim pustinja pusta, ništa neće uteći od njega.

4 Na očima su kao konji i trčaće kao konjici.

5 Skakaće povrh gora topoćući kao kola, praskajući kao plamen ognjeni koji sažiže strnjiku, kao silan narod spreman za boj.

6 Pred njim će se prepadati narodi, svako će lice pocrneti.

7 Oni će trčati kao junaci, kao vojnici skakaće na zid, i svaki će ići svojim putem, niti će odstupati sa svoje staze.

8 I jedan drugog neće tiskati, svaki će ići svojim putem, i na mačeve navirući neće se raniti.

9 Po gradu će hoditi, po zidovima će trčati, u kuće će se peti, ulaziće kroz prozore kao lupež.

10 Pred njima će se zemlja tresti, nebesa će se pokolebati, sunce će i mesec pomrknuti i zvezde će ustegnuti svetlost svoju.

11 A Gospod će pustiti glas svoj pred vojskom svojom, jer će logor Njegov biti vrlo velik, jer će biti silan onaj koji će izvršiti volju Njegovu; jer će dan Gospodnji biti velik i vrlo strašan, i ko će ga podneti?

12 Zato još govori Gospod: Obratite se k meni svim srcem svojim i posteći i plačući i tužeći.

13 I razderite srca svoja, a ne haljine svoje, i obratite se ka Gospodu Bogu svom, jer je milostiv i žalostiv, spor na gnev i obilan milosrđem i kaje se oda zla.

14 Ko zna, neće li se povratiti i raskajati se, i ostaviti iza toga blagoslov, dar i naliv za Gospoda Boga vašeg.

15 Trubite u trubu na Sionu, naredite post, proglasite svetkovinu.

16 Saberite narod, osveštajte sabor, skupite starce, saberite decu i koja sisaju; ženik neka iziđe iz svoje kleti i nevesta iz ložnice svoje.

17 Između trema i oltara neka plaču sveštenici, sluge Gospodnje, i neka kažu: Prosti, Gospode, narodu svom, i ne daj nasledstvo svoje pod sramotu, da njim ovladaju narodi; zašto da kažu u narodima: Gde im je Bog?

18 I Gospod će revnovati za zemlju svoju i požaliće narod svoj.

19 I Gospod će odgovoriti i reći će svom narodu: Evo, ja ću vam poslati žita i vina i ulja, i bićete ga siti, i neću vas više dati pod sramotu među narodima.

20 Jer ću udaljiti od vas severca, i odagnati ga u zemlju suvu i pustu, prednju četu njegovu u istočno more, a zadnju u more zapadno, i podignuće se smrad njegov i trulež će se njegov podignuti, pošto učini velike stvari.

21 Ne boj se, zemljo, raduj se i veseli se, jer će Gospod učiniti velike stvari.

22 Ne bojte se, zveri poljske; jer će se zeleneti pasišta u pustinji i drveta će nositi rod svoj, smokva će i loza vinova davati silu svoju.

23 I vi, sinovi sionski, radujte se i veselite se u Gospodu Bogu svom, jer će vam dati dažd na vreme, i spustiće vam dažd rani i pozni na vreme.

24 I gumna će se napuniti žita, a kace će se prelivati vinom i uljem.

25 I naknadiću vam godine koje izjede skakavac, hrušt i crv i gusenica, velika vojska moja, koju slah na vas.

26 I ješćete izobila, i bićete siti i hvalićete ime Gospoda Boga svog, koji učini s vama čudesa, i narod moj neće se posramiti doveka.

27 I poznaćete da sam ja usred Izrailja, i da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš, i da nema drugog, i narod moj neće se posramiti doveka.

28 I posle ću izliti duh svoj na svako telo, i proricaće sinovi vaši i kćeri vaše, starci će vaši sanjati sne, mladići će vaši viđati utvare.

29 I na sluge ću i na sluškinje u one dane izliti duh svoj;

30 I učiniću čudesa na nebu i na zemlji, krv i oganj i pušenje dima.

31 Sunce će se pretvoriti u tamu i mesec u krv pre nego dođe veliki i strašni dan Gospodnji.

32 I svaki koji prizove ime Gospodnje spašće se; jer će na gori Sionu i u Jerusalimu biti spasenje, kao što je rekao Gospod, i u ostatku koji pozove Gospod.

Hosea 2

Study

   

1 "Say to your brothers, 'My people!' and to your sisters, 'My loved one!'

2 Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

3 Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

4 Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;

5 For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'

6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.

7 She will follow after her lovers, but she won't overtake them; and she will seek them, but won't find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'

8 For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

9 Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

10 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.

11 I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

12 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, 'These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,' and the animals of the field shall eat them.

13 I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me," says Yahweh.

14 "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

15 I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16 It will be in that day," says Yahweh, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'

17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.

19 I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

20 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh.

21 It will happen in that day, I will respond," says Yahweh, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;

22 and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.

23 I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, 'You are my people;' and they will say, 'My God!'"
