< Hosea 14 >
1 O Israel, return to Jehovah thy God, for thou have fallen by thine iniquity.
Israel, agsublika kenni Yahweh a Diosmo, ta natnagka gapu kadagiti basbasolmo.
2 Take with you words, and return to Jehovah. Say to him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good. So we will render as bullocks the offering of our lips.
Iyebkasyo ti panagbabawiyo kadagiti basbasolyo ket agsublikayo kenni Yahweh. Ibagayo kenkuana, “Pakawanennakami kadagiti amin a basbasolmi ken awatennakami nga addaan ti pabor, tapno maidatonmi kenka ti pammadayawmi, dagiti sasao ken dagiti kantami a pagdayaw.
3 Assyria shall not save us. We will not ride upon horses, nor will we say any more to the work of our hands, Our gods. For in thee the fatherless finds mercy.
Saannakaminto nga isalakan ti Asiria; saankaminto nga agsakay kadagiti kabalio tapno makigubat. Saanminton nga ibaga ti aramid dagiti imami, 'Dakayo dagiti diosmi,' ta sika ti pakasarakan dagiti ulila iti asi.”
4 I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely. For my anger is turned away from him.
”Paimbagekto ida no agsublida kaniak kalpasan a tinallikodandak; ayatekto ida a siwayawaya, ta bimmaawen ti pungtotko iti Israel.
5 I will be as the dew to Israel. He shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Maiyarigakto iti linnaaw iti Israel; agsabongto a kas iti lirio ken agramutto a kas iti kayo a sedro iti Libano.
6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
Rumangpayanto dagiti sangana; ti kinapintasna ket kaslanto kadagiti kayo ti olibo, ken ti banglona ket kas kadagiti sedro iti Libano.
7 Those who dwell under his shadow shall return. They shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine. The scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
Agsublinto dagiti tattao nga agnaed iti salinongna; lumangtodanto a kas iti trigo ken agsabongda a kas kadagiti pinuon ti ubas. Maiyarigto ti kinalatakna iti arak ti Libano.
8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him. I am like a green fir tree. From me thy fruit is found.
Ibaganto ti Efraim, 'Ania pay la ti aramidek kadagiti didiosen?' Sungbatak ken aywanakto isuna. Maiyarigak iti saleng a kanayon a nalangto dagiti bulbulongna; siak ti pagtataudan dagiti bungayo.”
9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things, prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them. But transgressors shall fall therein.
Siasino ti masirib a makaawat kadagitoy a banbanag? Siasino ti makaaawat kadagitoy tapno maammoanna dagitoy? Ta nalinteg dagiti wagas ni Yahweh, dagitoy ket suroten dagiti nalinteg, ngem maitibkolto kadagitoy dagiti nasukir.
