Hosea 2
1 Say ye to your brethren: You are my people, and to your sister: Thou hast obtained mercy.
“Sọ fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ, ‘Ènìyàn mi,’ kí o sì wí fún àwọn arábìnrin rẹ ‘Àyànfẹ́ mi.’
2 Judge your mother, judge her: because she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her put away her fornications from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts.
“Ẹ bá ìyá yín wí, ẹ bá a wí, nítorí pé kì í ṣe ìyàwó mi, Èmi náà kì í sì í ṣe ọkọ rẹ̀. Jẹ́ kí ó yọ àgbèrè rẹ̀ kúrò lójú rẹ̀ àti àìṣòótọ́ kúrò ní àyà rẹ̀.
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born: and I will make her as a wilderness, and will set her as a land that none can pass through, and will kill her with drought.
Àìṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ èmi yóò tú u sí ìhòhò, Èmi yóò sì gbé e kalẹ̀ bí ọjọ́ tí a bí i. Èmi yóò ṣe ọ́ bí i aṣálẹ̀ ilẹ̀, Èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ Èmi yóò sì fi òǹgbẹ gbẹ ẹ́.
4 And I will not have mercy on her children: for they are the children of fornications.
Èmi kò ní fi àánú mi hàn sí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ nítorí ọmọ àgbèrè ni wọ́n jẹ́.
5 For their mother hath committed fornication, she that conceived them is covered with shame: for she said: I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, my oil, and my drink.
Nítorí ìyá wọn ti hùwà àgbèrè, ó sì lóyún wọn nínú ìtìjú. Ó wí pé, ‘Èmi ó tún tọ́ àwọn àyànfẹ́ mi lẹ́yìn, tó ń fún mi ní oúnjẹ àti omi, ní irun àgùntàn mi àti ọ̀gbọ̀ mi, òróró mi àti ohun mímu mi.’
6 Wherefore behold I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will stop it up with a wall, and she shall not find her paths.
Nítorí náà, èmi ó fi ẹ̀gún dì í lọ́nà, Èmi ó mọ odi yí i ká kí ó má ba à rọ́nà lọ.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them: and she shall seek them, and shall not find, and she shall say: I will go, and return to my first husband, because it was better with me then, than now.
Yóò sáré lé àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n kò ní bá wọn; yóò wá wọn ṣùgbọ́n kò ní rí wọn. Nígbà náà ni yóò sọ pé, ‘Èmi ó padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọkọ mi àkọ́kọ́ nítorí pé ó dára fún mi nígbà náà ju ìsinsin yìí lọ.’
8 And she did not know that I gave her corn and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver, and gold, which they have used in the service of Baal.
Nítorí pé kò tí ì mọ̀ pé èmi ni àti ẹni tó fún un ní ọkà, ọtí wáìnì tuntun àti òróró ẹni tí ó fún un ní fàdákà àti wúrà lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, èyí tí wọ́n lò fún Baali.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its season, and I will set at liberty my wool, and my flax, which covered her disgrace.
“Nítorí náà, èmi yóò mú ọkà mi kúrò nígbà tó bá pọ́n, èmi yóò sì mú wáìnì mi kúrò ní àsìkò rẹ̀. Èmi yóò sì gba irun àgùntàn àti ọ̀gbọ̀ mi padà ti mo ti fi fún un láti bo ìhòhò rẹ̀.
10 And now I will lay open her folly in the eyes of her lovers: and no man shall deliver her out of my hand:
Èmi yóò sì fi ìwà ìtìjú rẹ̀ hàn lójú àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀ kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbà á sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ mi,
11 And I will cause all her mirth to cease, her solemnities, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her festival times.
Èmi yóò mú gbogbo ayọ̀ rẹ̀ wá sí òpin: àjọ̀dún ọdọọdún rẹ̀, oṣù tuntun rẹ̀, ọjọ́ ìsinmi, àti gbogbo àwọn àjọ̀dún tí a yàn.
12 And I will destroy her vines, and her fig trees, of which she said: These are my rewards, which my lovers have given me: and I will make her as a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour her.
Èmi yóò pa àjàrà àti igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ rẹ̀ run, èyí tí ó pè ní èrè rẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀, Èmi yóò sọ wọ́n di igbó, àwọn ẹranko búburú yóò sì jẹ́ wọn run.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, to whom she burnt incense, and decked herself out with her earrings, and with her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord.
Èmi yóò bẹ̀ ọjọ́ Baalimu wò ní ara rẹ̀ nínú èyí tó ń fi tùràrí jóná fún Baali; tí ó fi òrùka etí àti ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ rẹ̀, ṣe ara rẹ̀ lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́, tó sì tẹ̀lé àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ. Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ni òun gbàgbé,” ni Olúwa wí.
14 Therefore, behold I will allure her, and will lead her into the wilderness: and I will speak to her heart.
“Nítorí náà, èmi yóò tàn án, Èmi ó sì mú u lọ sí ilẹ̀ aṣálẹ̀, Èmi ó fi pẹ̀lẹ́pẹ̀lẹ́ bá a sọ̀rọ̀
15 And I will give her vinedressers out of the same place, and the valley of Achor for an opening of hope: and she shall sing there according to the days of her youth, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
Níbẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti dá ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀ padà fún un, Èmi yóò fi àfonífojì Akori ṣe ìlẹ̀kùn ìrètí fún un. Yóò sì kọrin níbẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tó kúrò ní Ejibiti.
16 And it shall be in that day, saith the Lord, That she shall call me: My husband, and she shall call me no more Baali.
“Yóò sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ náà, ìwọ yóò pè mí ní ‘ọkọ mi’; ìwọ kò sì ní pè mí ní ‘olúwa à mi mọ́,’ ni Olúwa wí.
17 And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and she shall no more remember their name.
Èmi yóò mú orúkọ, àwọn òrìṣà Baali kúrò lẹ́nu rẹ̀; ìwọ kò sì ní rí orúkọ òrìṣà Baali pè mọ́.
18 And in that day I will make a covenant with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air, and with the creeping things of the earth: and I will destroy the bow, and the sword, and war out of the land: and I will make them sleep secure.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, èmi yóò ṣe májẹ̀mú fún wọn àti àwọn ẹranko igbó àti ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti àwọn ẹ̀dá tí ń rìn lórí ilẹ̀. Kí wọn má bà á bẹ̀rù ara wọn mọ́. Ọfà, idà àti ogun jíjà ni èmi ó parun ní ilẹ̀ náà kí gbogbo ènìyàn bá a lè wà ní àìléwu.
19 And I will espouse thee to me for ever: and I will espouse thee to me in justice, and judgment, and in mercy, and in commiserations.
Èmi yóò fẹ́ ọ fún ara mi títí láé; Èmi ó fẹ́ ọ ní ìwà òdodo àti òtítọ́, ní ìfẹ́ àti àánú.
20 And I will espouse thee to me in faith: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Èmi yóò fẹ́ ọ fún ara mi ní òtítọ́ ìwọ yóò sì mọ Olúwa.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day: I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth.
“Èmi yóò sì dáhùn ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí; “Èmi yóò dá àwọn ọ̀run lóhùn àwọn ọ̀run yóò sì dá ilẹ̀ lóhùn;
22 And the earth shall hear the core, and the wine, and the oil, and these shall hear Jezrahel.
ilẹ̀ náà yóò sì dá ọkà, wáìnì tuntun àti òróró lóhùn Gbogbo wọn ó sì dá Jesreeli lóhùn.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth, and I will have mercy on her that was without mercy. And I will say to that which was not my people: Thou art my people: and they shall say: Thou art my God.
Èmi ó sì gbìn ín fún ara mi lórí ilẹ̀ náà, Èmi yóò ṣàánú fún ẹni tí kò tì í ri ‘Àánú gbà.’ Èmi yóò sọ fún àwọn tí ‘Kì í ṣe ènìyàn mi pé,’ ‘Ẹ̀yin ni ènìyàn mi’; àwọn náà yóò sì wí pé, ‘Ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi.’”
