Hosea 14
1 Dwoguru ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, yaye Israel. Richou ema osemiyo upodho.
Israel, return to the LORD your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.
2 Kaw wechegi kendo uduog ir Jehova Nyasaye! Wachne kama: “Wenwa richowa duto, kendo yie irwakwa gi ngʼwono, mi wanapaki gi dhowa.
Take words with you, and return to the LORD. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good; so we offer bulls as we vowed 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.”
Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”
4 “Anachang-gi kuom baro margi mane gibarogo, kendo anahergi maonge achuna, nimar mirimba osewuok kuomgi.
“I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
5 Anachal mana ka thoo mar okinyi ne Israel; kendo nolodhi mana ka ondanyo, kendo tiende nokar mana ka yiend Lebanon;
I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.
6 bade nolodhi makee. Enobed maber ka yiend zeituni, kendo nodungʼ mangʼwe ngʼar ka yiend Lebanon.
His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 Ji nochak odag e tipone. Nonyaa maber mana ka cham, kendo nonyag maber ka mzabibu mi nobed gi huma ka divai moa Lebanon.
Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Yaye Efraim en angʼo ma datim gi nyiseche manonogi kendo? Anadwoke kendo rite, achalo gi obudo mangʼich, nyak mari aa kuoma.”
Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is 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, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
