< Hosea 2 >

1 “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’
Ke ma inge, pangon mukul Israel wiowos “Ammi,” ac mutan Israel wiowos, “Ruhamah.”.
2 Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
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.
3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
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.
4 I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.
Nga fah tia pakomuta tulik natul, mweyen elos tulik nutin sie mutan kosro.
5 For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’
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.”
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
Ke ma inge, nga ac kalsalak ke kokul, ac etoak sie pot in kosralla.
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
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.”
8 For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold— which they crafted for Baal.
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.
9 Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.
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.
10 And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
Nga fah akkoflufolyal ye mutun mwet el orek pwar yoro, ac wangin sie fah ku in molella liki ku luk.
11 I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths— all her appointed feasts.
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.
12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
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.
13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,”
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.
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
Ouinge nga fah sifil folokunulla nu yen mwesis, ac nga fah kaskas kulang nu sel in akwoye insial.
15 There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
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.
16 In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’
Na el fah sifilpa pangon mu nga mukul tumal — el ac fah tia sifilpa pangon mu nga Baal lal.
17 For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
Nga fah tiana fuhlela elan sifilpa fahkla ine se inge “Baal.”
18 On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.
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.
19 So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.
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.
20 And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”
Nga fah karinganang wulela luk nu sum, Ac kom fah akilen lah pwaye nga pa LEUM GOD.
21 “On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD— “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.
In pacl sac nga fah topuk pre lun Israel, mwet luk.
22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
Nga fah oru af in kahk nu faclu, Na faclu fah fokkakin wheat, grape ac olive.
23 And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
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.”
