Hosea 14
1 O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
Yípadà ìwọ Israẹli sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ ló fa ìparun rẹ!
2 Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah; say unto him, Forgive all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously; so will we render the calves 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 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Thou art] our God; because in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
Asiria kò le gbà wá là; a kò ní í gorí ẹṣin ogun. A kò sì ní tún sọ ọ́ mọ́ láé, ‘Àwọn ni òrìṣà wa’ sí àwọn ohun tí ó fi ọwọ́ wa ṣe; nítorí pé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ ni àwọn aláìní baba tí ń rí àánú.”
4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.
“Èmi wo àgàbàgebè wọn sàn, Èmi ó sì fẹ́ràn wọn, lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́, nítorí ìbínú mi ti yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn.
5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Èmi o dàbí ìrì sí Israẹli, wọn o sì yọ ìtànná bi ewéko lílì. Bi kedari ti Lebanoni yóò si ta gbòǹgbò.
6 His shoots shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

7 They shall return and sit under his shadow; they shall revive [as] corn, and blossom as the vine: the renown thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

8 Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? (I answer [him], and I will observe him.) I am like a green fir-tree. — From me is thy fruit found.
Ìwọ Efraimu, kín ló tún kù tí mo ní ṣe pẹ̀lú ère òrìṣà? Èmi ó dá a lóhùn, èmi ó sì ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ. Mo dàbí igi junifa tó ń fi gbogbo ìgbà tutù, èso tí ìwọ ń so si ń wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? intelligent, and he shall know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors shall fall therein.
