Osee 14

1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.

Atgriezies, ak Israēl, pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, jo tu esi kritis sava nozieguma dēļ.

2 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.

Ņemiet šos vārdus līdz un atgriežaties pie Tā Kunga un sakāt uz Viņu: piedod visu noziegumu un parādi žēlastību, ka mēs nesam savu lūpu upurus.

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 you shall pity the orphan.

Asurs mūs neizpestīs, mēs nejāsim uz zirgiem un nesacīsim vairs uz savu roku darbu: tu esi mūsu dievs! Jo pie Tevis bāriņš atrod žēlastību.

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

Es dziedināšu viņu atkāpšanos, Es tos mīlēšu ar labu prātu, jo Mana dusmība no viņa novērsīsies.

5 I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.

Es Israēlim būšu kā rasa: viņš zaļos kā lilija un iesakņosies kā Libānas(ciedrs).

6 His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.

Viņa zari izplētīsies, un skaistums viņam būs kā eļļas kokam, un smarža viņam būs kā Libānas(ciedram).

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.

Tie, sēdēdami viņa ēnā, atkal audzinās labību un zaļos kā vīna koks; tam būs slava kā vīnam no Libānas.

8 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.

Efraīm, kas Man vēl ar dievekļiem? Es paklausīšu un viņu uzlūkošu. Es būšu kā zaļa priede, pie Manis tavs auglis rodas.

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.

Kas ir gudrs, ka saprot šās lietas? Kas ir prātīgs, ka tās atzīst? Jo Tā Kunga ceļi ir taisni, un taisnie pa tiem staigās, bet pārkāpēji pa tiem kritīs.
