Oseas 14
1 Israel, agsublika kenni Yahweh a Diosmo, ta natnagka gapu kadagiti basbasolmo.
Return, O Israel, even unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast stumbled through thy iniquity.
2 Iyebkasyo ti panagbabawiyo kadagiti basbasolyo ket agsublikayo kenni Yahweh. Ibagayo kenkuana, “Pakawanennakami kadagiti amin a basbasolmi ken awatennakami nga addaan ti pabor, tapno maidatonmi kenka ti pammadayawmi, dagiti sasao ken dagiti kantami a pagdayaw.
Take with you swords, and return to the Lord: say unto him, “Pardon all [our] iniquity, and accept [our return to] good; and let us repay the steers [of sacrifice] with [the prayer of] our lips.
3 Saannakaminto nga isalakan ti Asiria; saankaminto nga agsakay kadagiti kabalio tapno makigubat. Saanminton nga ibaga ti aramid dagiti imami, 'Dakayo dagiti diosmi,' ta sika ti pakasarakan dagiti ulila iti asi.”
Asshur shall not help us; upon horses will we not ride: and we will no more say, Ye are our gods, to the work of our hands; for in thee alone the fatherless obtaineth mercy.”
4 ”Paimbagekto ida no agsublida kaniak kalpasan a tinallikodandak; ayatekto ida a siwayawaya, ta bimmaawen ti pungtotko iti Israel.
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
5 Maiyarigakto iti linnaaw iti Israel; agsabongto a kas iti lirio ken agramutto a kas iti kayo a sedro iti Libano.
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall bloom as the lily; and he shall strike his roots as [the forests of] Lebanon.
6 Rumangpayanto dagiti sangana; ti kinapintasna ket kaslanto kadagiti kayo ti olibo, ken ti banglona ket kas kadagiti sedro iti Libano.
His suckers shall spread out, and his beauty shall be as that of the olive-tree, and his smell as that of the Lebanon.
7 Agsublinto dagiti tattao nga agnaed iti salinongna; lumangtodanto a kas iti trigo ken agsabongda a kas kadagiti pinuon ti ubas. Maiyarigto ti kinalatakna iti arak ti Libano.
They shall return that sat under his shade; they shall revive as corn, and bloom as the vine: the scent of which shall be as that of the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ibaganto ti Efraim, 'Ania pay la ti aramidek kadagiti didiosen?' Sungbatak ken aywanakto isuna. Maiyarigak iti saleng a kanayon a nalangto dagiti bulbulongna; siak ti pagtataudan dagiti bungayo.”
Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will observe him; I will be [to him] like a green fir-tree; through me is thy fruit found.
9 Siasino ti masirib a makaawat kadagitoy a banbanag? Siasino ti makaaawat kadagitoy tapno maammoanna dagitoy? Ta nalinteg dagiti wagas ni Yahweh, dagitoy ket suroten dagiti nalinteg, ngem maitibkolto kadagitoy dagiti nasukir.
Who is wise, that he may understand these things? intelligent, that he may know them? for righteous are the ways of the Lord; and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors will stumble through them.
