Osee 14
1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God; for the people have fallen through thine iniquities.
Yípadà ìwọ Israẹli sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ ló fa ìparun rẹ!
2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that ye may not receive [the reward of] unrighteousness, but that ye may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit of our lips.
Ẹ gba ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa gbọ́, kí ẹ sì yípadà sí Olúwa. Ẹ sọ fún un pé, “Darí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa jì wá kí o sì fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ gbà wá, kí àwa kí ó lè fi ètè wa sán an fún ọ
3 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 thee shall pity the orphan.

4 I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him.

5 I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.
Èmi o dàbí ìrì sí Israẹli, wọn o sì yọ ìtànná bi ewéko lílì. Bi kedari ti Lebanoni yóò si ta gbòǹgbò.
6 His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.

7 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.

9 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.
