Hosea 2
1 Ke ma inge, pangon mukul Israel wiowos “Ammi,” ac mutan Israel wiowos, “Ruhamah.”.
Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Tulik nutik, fahla nu yurin nina kiomtal, el finne tila mutan se kiuk ac nga tila mukul tumal. Fahla kwafe sel elan tui liki elahn kosro lal ac moul fohkfok lal.
Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 El fin tiana tui, nga fah selya elan koflufolla oana ke len se el isusla ah. Nga fah oru elan oana sie acn musrasrla ac el fah misa ke malu.
lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
4 Nga fah tia pakomuta tulik natul, mweyen elos tulik nutin sie mutan kosro.
Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they are children of whoredom;
5 Mutan sac el sifacna fahk mu, “Nga ac som nu yurin mukul nga orek pwar se — elos se mwe mongo nak ac kof nimuk, unen sheep ac nuknuk linen, oil in olive ac wain.”
for their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
6 Ke ma inge, nga ac kalsalak ke kokul, ac etoak sie pot in kosralla.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
7 El ac kasrusr ukwe mukul el orek pwar nu se tuh el ac fah tia sonolos. El ac fah sokolos tuh el ac fah tia konalosyak. Na el ac fah fahk, “Nga ac folokla nu yurin mukul tumuk ah. Wo nu sik ke pacl se nga muta yorol ah liki na inge.”
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
8 El ac fah tiana akkalemye lah nga pa kital wheat, wain, oil in olive, ac silver ac gold nukewa ma el alyalukin nu sel Baal.
For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
9 Ouinge ke pacl in kosrani nga fah folokonma mwe sang luk nu sel ke wheat ac wain, ac nga fah eisla unen sheep ac nuknuk linen ma nga tuh sang elan nukum.
Therefore will I take back my grain in the time thereof, and my new wine in the season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Nga fah akkoflufolyal ye mutun mwet el orek pwar yoro, ac wangin sie fah ku in molella liki ku luk.
And now will I uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 Nga fah oru tuh pacl in engan lal nukewa in wanginla — pwar lal ke yac nukewa, malem nukewa, Sabbath nukewa — aok, toeni in alyalu nukewa lal.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 Nga fah kunausla ima in grape lal ac sak fig sunal su el fahk mu mukul kawuk lal sang lal. Nga fah ekulla ima in grape lal ac sak sunal tuh in oana yen mwesis. Kosro lemnak uh ac fah kunausla.
And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 Nga fah kael ke pacl el tuh mulkinyula ac esukak mwe keng nu sel Baal, ac pacl el naweyukla som ukwe mukul kawuk lal. Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith Jehovah.
14 Ouinge nga fah sifil folokunulla nu yen mwesis, ac nga fah kaskas kulang nu sel in akwoye insial.
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15 Nga fah folokonang nu sel ima in grape lal meet ah, ac oru tuh Infahlfal in Lokoalok in ekla mutunoa lun finsrak. El fah topukyu we oana el tuh topukyu ke el fusr ac ilme liki facl Egypt.
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Na el fah sifilpa pangon mu nga mukul tumal — el ac fah tia sifilpa pangon mu nga Baal lal.
And it shall be at that day, saith Jehovah, that thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 Nga fah tiana fuhlela elan sifilpa fahkla ine se inge “Baal.”
For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
18 Ke pacl sac, nga fah oru sie wulela yurin kosro lemnak nukewa ac won sohksok uh, elos in tia akkolukye mwet luk. Nga fah oayapa eosla kufwen mwet mweun nukewa liki acn uh — cutlass ac mwe pisr nukewa — ac nga fah oru tuh mwet luk uh in muta in misla ac tia sensen.
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 Israel, nga fah eis kom in mutan kiuk nwe tok; Nga ac fah pwayena ac suwosna nu sum; Nga fah akkalemye pakoten ac lungse kawil luk nu sum.
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 Nga fah karinganang wulela luk nu sum, Ac kom fah akilen lah pwaye nga pa LEUM GOD.
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know Jehovah.
21 In pacl sac nga fah topuk pre lun Israel, mwet luk.
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, saith Jehovah, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth;
22 Nga fah oru af in kahk nu faclu, Na faclu fah fokkakin wheat, grape ac olive.
and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Jezreel.
23 Nga fah oaki mwet luk fin acn uh, ac oru tuh elos in sun wo ouiya. Nga fah pakoten nu selos su ekin “Tia Pakomuteyuk,” Ac nu selos su ekin “Tia Mwet Luk,” Nga fah fahk, “Kowos mwet luk,” Ac elos fah topuk, “Kom God lasr.”
And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them that were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.
