Hosea 14

1 Yípadà ìwọ Israẹli sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ ló fa ìparun rẹ!

Israel, return to the LORD your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.

2 Ẹ gba ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa gbọ́, kí ẹ sì yípadà sí Olúwa. Ẹ sọ fún un pé, “Darí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa jì wá kí o sì fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ gbà wá, kí àwa kí ó lè fi ètè wa sán an fún ọ

Take words with you, and return to the LORD. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good; so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.

3 Asiria kò le gbà wá là; a kò ní í gorí ẹṣin ogun. A kò sì ní tún sọ ọ́ mọ́ láé, ‘Àwọn ni òrìṣà wa’ sí àwọn ohun tí ó fi ọwọ́ wa ṣe; nítorí pé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ ni àwọn aláìní baba tí ń rí àánú.”

Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”

4 “Èmi wo àgàbàgebè wọn sàn, Èmi ó sì fẹ́ràn wọn, lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́, nítorí ìbínú mi ti yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn.

“I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.

5 Èmi o dàbí ìrì sí Israẹli, wọn o sì yọ ìtànná bi ewéko lílì. Bi kedari ti Lebanoni yóò si ta gbòǹgbò.

I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.

6 Àṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀yọ ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ yóò dàgbà, dídán ẹwà yóò rẹ̀ dànù bí igi olifi. Òórùn rẹ yóò sì dàbí igi kedari ti Lebanoni.

His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.

7 Àwọn ènìyàn yóò tún padà gbé lábẹ́ òjijì rẹ̀. Yóò rúwé bi ọkà. Yóò sì yọ ìtànná bi àjàrà, òórùn rẹ yóò dàbí ti wáìnì Lebanoni.

Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8 Ìwọ Efraimu, kín ló tún kù tí mo ní ṣe pẹ̀lú ère òrìṣà? Èmi ó dá a lóhùn, èmi ó sì ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ. Mo dàbí igi junifa tó ń fi gbogbo ìgbà tutù, èso tí ìwọ ń so si ń wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”

Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is found.”

9 Ta ni ọlọ́gbọ́n? Òun yóò mòye àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí. Ta a ní ó mọ̀? Òun yóò ní ìmọ̀ wọn. Títọ́ ni ọ̀nà Olúwa àwọn olódodo si ń rìn nínú wọn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́tẹ̀ ni yóò kọsẹ̀ nínú wọn.

Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
