1 “Amaiba: le, dia na: iyado Isala: ili dunu ilima amo dio asulima, “Gode Ea fi dunu” amola “Hina Gode da ilima asigisa.”
Say ye unto your brethren, O Ammi ["O my people"], and unto your sisters, O Ruhamah ["O compassionated one"]:
2 “Na mano dilia! Dilia ha: giwane dilia amema edegema. E da wali na uda hame. Amola na da wali ea dunu hame. Amola inia: dunu adole lasu hou amola hina da: iga bidi lasu hou yolema: ne ha: giwane sia: ma.
Contend ye with your mother, contend, for she is no wife of mine, and I am no husband of hers, Let her then put away her paramours from before her, and her partners in adultery, from her embraces:
3 Be e da dilia sia: i defele hame hamosea, Na da ea abula gagadelale fasili, bu da: i nabado hi musa: emea lalelegei amo defele ba: ma: mu. Amola Na da e soge hano hamedei amola ifa hame heda: i, amo defele hamomu. Amola e da hano hanaga bogomu.
Lest I strip off her under-clothing, and set her forth to view, as in the day she was born, —and make her like a wilderness, and render her like a land that is parched, and suffer her to die of thirst;
4
And, on her children, not have compassion, —because, the children of paramours, they are.
5 Na da ema amola ea manoma hame asigimu. Bai ea mano da inia: wamomanoba: le, e da hame gogosiasa amola hame beda: sa. Amola uda da hisu amane sia: i, ‘Na da na gilisili golabe dunu ilima masunu. Ilia da nama ha: i manu amola hano, sibi hinabo, abula, olife susuligi amola waini hano iaha.’
For their mother, hath been unchaste, and she that conceived them, hath caused shame, —for she said, Let me go after my lovers! who used to give my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, mine oil, and my drink.
6 Amaiba: le, Na da asili, aya: gaga: nomei aya: lidili, ea masunu logo hedofama: ne gagomu.
Therefore, behold me! hedging up her way, with thorns, —and I will wall her in, and, her footpaths, shall she not find.
7 E da ea sasagesu dunu gagumusa: hehenamu amomane hame gagulaligimu. Ea da amo hogomu be amomane hame ba: mu. Amalalu, e da amane sia: mu, ‘Na ni musa: fi dunu ema sinidigimu. Amola musa: esalusu amo dawa: le, waha esalebe we dawa: loba da musa: esalusu amo da defeadafa dawa: sa.’
And, when she shall pursue her lovers, and not overtake them, and shall seek them and not find, then will she say, Let me go my way now! and return unto my first husband, for it was better with me, then, than, now!
8 Ea da gagoma, waini, olife susuligi, silifa amola gouli amoga Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu. Be amo liligi huluane Na da ema i dagoi, amo e da hamedafa dawa: i.
But, she, owneth not, that, I, gave her—the corn, and the new wine and the oil, —silver, also increased I unto her, and gold—[which] they offered to Baal!
9 Amaiba: le, na da gamisu eso amoga gagoma amola waini hano Na ema i, amo bu Ni lamu. Amola wulo amola abula Na ema gasisa: lima: ne i, amo bu Ni lamu.
Therefore, will I again take away my corn, in the time thereof, and my new wine, in the season thereof, —and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to hide her shame.
10 Amola Na da ea sasagesu dunu ilia si da: iya ea abula sali gagadelale fasimu. Amola Na gasa bagadeba: le, e da enoga gaga: mu hamedei ba: mu.
Now, therefore, will I expose her unseemliness, before the eyes of her lovers, —and no, man, shall deliver her out of my hand!
11 Na da ea lolo nabe gilisisu huluane, ea odega amola oubiga amola Sa: bade amola sia: ne gadosu gilisisu, amo huluane Na da dagolesimu.
And I will cause to cease all her mirth, her pilgrim-festival, her new moon and her sabbath, —and her every appointed meeting;
12 Na da ea waini efe sagai amola figi ifa (amo da ea gilisili golabe dunu ilia da ema dabe agoane i e da sia: su) amo huluane wadela: lesimu. Na da amo wadela: lesisia, soge da hafoga: i wadela: i soge agoane ba: mu. Amola sigua ohe da amo wadela: lesimu.
And will lay waste her vine and her fig- tree, as to which she hath said, A present, are they for myself, which my lovers, have given me, —and I will make of them a thicket, and the wild beasts of the field shall devour them.
13 Na da ema se bagade imunu. Bai eso bagohame, e da Na gogolele, ogogosu ‘gode’ Ba: ile ema gabusiga: manoma gobele salasu amola nina: hamosu liligi gaga: ne ea sasagesu dunu ilia ahoabe fa: no bobogesu,” Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
So will I visit upon her the days of the Baals, unto whom she used to burn incense, and decked herself with her nose-ring and her jewelry, and went her way after her lovers, —whereas, me, she forgat, Declareth Yahweh.
14 “Amaiba: le, Na da e bu hafoga: i sogega oule masunu. Amogawi, Na da e Nama bu sinidigima: ne, asigi sia: sia: mu.
Therefore, lo! I, am going to persuade her, and, though I conduct her forth into wilderness, yet will I speak unto her heart.
15 Na da ea musa: waini efe sagai duga: i amo ema bu imunu. Na da Bidi Hamosu Fago afadenene, bu hahawane misunu logo holei agoane hamomu. E da ea a: fini esoga Idibidi yolesili, Nama asigi galu. Amo defele, e da Nama bu asigimu.
Then will I give to her her vineyards from thence, and the vale of Achor ["trouble"] 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 Amasea, e da bu Nama ‘Nagoa’ sia: mu. E da Nama ‘Na Ba: ile’ amo bu hame sia: mu.
And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, that she will call me Ishi ["My husband"], and will not call me any more, Baali ["Mine owner"].
17 Amola e da Ba: ile ea dio bu hamedafa sia: ma: ne, Na da hamomu.
So will I take away the names of the Baals, out of her mouth, —and they shall not be called to mind any more, by their name.
18 Amo esoha, Na da sigua ohe amola sio fi huluane ilima gousa: su hamomu. Ilia da Na fi dunu hamedafa wadela: lesima: ne, Na da gousa: su hamomu. Amola Na da Isala: ili sogega gegesu liligi (gobihei sedade amola dadi) amo huluane samogele fasimu. Amasea, Na hamobeba: le, Na fi dunu da olofole amola gaga: iwane esalumu.
And I will solemnize to them a covenant, in that day, with the wild-beast of the field, and with the bird of the heavens, and the creeping thing of the ground, —and, bow and sword and battle, will I break in pieces out of the land, so will I cause them to lie down, in security.
19 Isala: ili fi! Na da di Na uda hamomu! Na da di hamedafa yolesimu. Na da dima asigidafa hou amola gogolema: ne olofosu hou olelemu. Amola di da Na udadafa agoane esalalalumu.
And I will take thee unto myself, unto times age-abiding, —yea I will take thee unto myself, in righteousness and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in abounding compassion:
20 Na da Na dafawane ilegei sia: i noga: le ouligili, di Na udadafa hamomu. Amola di da Nama dia Hina Godedafa sia: mu.
Yea I will take thee unto myself, in faithfulness, —So shalt thou know Yahweh.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will respond, Declareth Yahweh, I will respond to the heavens, —and, they, shall respond to the earth;
22 Amo esoga Na da Na fi Isala: ili dunu ilia sia: ne gadosa adole ba: i liligi ilima imunu. Na da gibu defele imunu. Amasea, osoboga gagoma amola waini fage amola olife fage bagade heda: lebe ba: mu.
And, the earth, shall respond to the corn, and to the new wine and to the oil, —and, they, shall respond to Jezreel ["Whom GOD scattereth," "Whom GOD soweth"].
23 Na da hamobeba: le, Na fi dunu da ilia sogega hahawane amola bagade gaguiwane esalebe ba: mu. Na da musa: Na fi dunuma, ‘Ilima hame Asigisa’ dio asuli. Be Na da ilima asigidafa hou bu olelemu. Amola Na musa: Na fi dunuma ‘Na fi dunu hame’ dio asuli. Be Na da fa: no ‘Dilia da Na fidafa dunu’ ilima sia: mu. Amola ilia da Nama amane sia: mu, ‘Di da ninia Gode.’”
So will I sow her unto me in the land, and will have compassion upon the uncompassionated one ["Lo-ruhamah"], —and will say to him who was No-people-of-mine ["Lo-ammi"], My people, thou art, and, he, shall say, My God!
