Hosea 14
1 Dwoguru ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, yaye Israel. Richou ema osemiyo upodho.
Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.
2 Kaw wechegi kendo uduog ir Jehova Nyasaye! Wachne kama: “Wenwa richowa duto, kendo yie irwakwa gi ngʼwono, mi wanapaki gi dhowa.
Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that you may not receive [the reward of] unrighteousness, but that you may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit of our lips.
3 Asuria ok nyal resowa, bende ok wana idhi faresegi mag lweny. Ok wanachak wawach kendo ni, ‘Nyisechewa’ ne gik mwaloso gi lwetwa wawegi, nimar kuomi, ema, nyithi kiye yude kech.”
Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in you shall pity the orphan.
4 “Anachang-gi kuom baro margi mane gibarogo, kendo anahergi maonge achuna, nimar mirimba osewuok kuomgi.
I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him.
5 Anachal mana ka thoo mar okinyi ne Israel; kendo nolodhi mana ka ondanyo, kendo tiende nokar mana ka yiend Lebanon;
I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.
6 bade nolodhi makee. Enobed maber ka yiend zeituni, kendo nodungʼ mangʼwe ngʼar ka yiend Lebanon.
His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.
7 Ji nochak odag e tipone. Nonyaa maber mana ka cham, kendo nonyag maber ka mzabibu mi nobed gi huma ka divai moa Lebanon.
They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus.
8 Yaye Efraim en angʼo ma datim gi nyiseche manonogi kendo? Anadwoke kendo rite, achalo gi obudo mangʼich, nyak mari aa kuoma.”
What [has] he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is your fruit found.
9 En ngʼat mane mariek? Obiro fwenyo tiend gigi. En ngʼat mane manyalo fwenyo tiend wechegi? Obiro ngʼeyogi. Yore mag Jehova Nyasaye nikare, joma nikare ema wuothoe, to joma jendeke to chwanyore.
Who is wise, and will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.
