Hosea 14
1 Mwet Israel, foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD lowos. Ma koluk lowos oru kowos in tukulkul ac ikori.
Israel, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity.
2 Foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD, ac oru tuh pre se inge in mwe kisa lowos nu sel: “Sisla ma koluk lasr ac porongo pre lasr, ac kut fah kaksakin kom oana ke kut tuh wulela nu sum kac.
Take these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves of our lips.
3 Tuh Assyria tia ku in molikutla, ac horse in mweun tia pac ku in loangekut. Kut fah tiana sifilpa fahk nu ke ma sruloala lasr mu elos god lasr. O LEUM GOD, kom fahkak pakoten nu sin mwet mukaimtal!”
Assur will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on the orphan.”
4 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah folokonma mwet luk nu yuruk. Nga fah lungse elos ke insiuk nufon; Nga tia sifilpa mulat selos.
I will heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them.
5 Nga fah oana af yen pao Nu sin mwet Israel. Elos ac farengelik oana ros; Elos ac okahla arulana ku, Oana sak in acn Lebanon.
I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
6 Elos fah moulyak ke srun sasu Ac kato oana sak olive. Elos ac fah fo loslos Oana sak cedar in acn Lebanon.
His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
7 Elos ac sifilpa muta ye karinginyuk luk. Elos fah taknelik fiten wheat, Ac fahko kac ac fah pus oana ima in grape. Elos ac fah pwengpeng oana wain in acn Lebanon.
They will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon.
8 Mwet Israel ac fah tia sifil alu nu ke ma sruloala. Nga ac fah topuk pre lalos ac karinganulos. Nga fah sonolosi oana soko sak folfol insroa, Mwe insewowo lalos nukewa fah tuku yuruk me.”
Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me anymore?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me.
9 Lela elos su lalmwetmet in kalem ke ma simla inge, ac in filiya in oan insialos. Inkanek lun LEUM GOD suwohs, ac mwet suwoswos elos moul ke sripen elos fahsr kac, a mwet orekma koluk elos tukulkul ac ikori mweyen elos tia fahsr kac.
Who is wise and will understand this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them.
