< Hosea 14 >
1 O Israel, returne vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen by thine iniquitie.
Dwoguru ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, yaye Israel. Richou ema osemiyo upodho.
2 Take vnto you words, and turne to the Lord, and say vnto him, Take away all iniquitie, and receiue vs graciously: so wil we render the calues of our lippes.
Kaw wechegi kendo uduog ir Jehova Nyasaye! Wachne kama: “Wenwa richowa duto, kendo yie irwakwa gi ngʼwono, mi wanapaki gi dhowa.
3 Asshur shall not saue vs, neither wil we ride vpon horses, neither will we say any more to the worke of our handes, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherlesse findeth mercie.
Asuria ok nyal resowa, bende ok wana idhi faresegi mag lweny. Ok wanachak wawach kendo ni, ‘Nyisechewa’ ne gik mwaloso gi lwetwa wawegi, nimar kuomi, ema, nyithi kiye yude kech.”
4 I wil heale their rebellion: I wil loue them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
“Anachang-gi kuom baro margi mane gibarogo, kendo anahergi maonge achuna, nimar mirimba osewuok kuomgi.
5 I will be as the dewe vnto Israel: he shall grow as the lilie and fasten his rootes, as the trees of Lebanon.
Anachal mana ka thoo mar okinyi ne Israel; kendo nolodhi mana ka ondanyo, kendo tiende nokar mana ka yiend Lebanon;
6 His branches shall spread, and his beautie shalbe as the oliue tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
bade nolodhi makee. Enobed maber ka yiend zeituni, kendo nodungʼ mangʼwe ngʼar ka yiend Lebanon.
7 They that dwel vnder his shadow, shall returne: they shall reuiue as the corne, and florish as the vine: the sent thereof shalbe as the wine of Lebanon.
Ji nochak odag e tipone. Nonyaa maber mana ka cham, kendo nonyag maber ka mzabibu mi nobed gi huma ka divai moa Lebanon.
8 Ephraim shall say, What haue I to doe any more with idoles? I haue heard him, and looked vpon him: I am like a greene firre tree: vpon me is thy fruite founde.
Yaye Efraim en angʼo ma datim gi nyiseche manonogi kendo? Anadwoke kendo rite, achalo gi obudo mangʼich, nyak mari aa kuoma.”
9 Who is wise, and he shall vnderstande these things? and prudent, and he shall knowe them? for the wayes of the Lord are righteous, and the iust shall walke in them: but the wicked shall fall therein.
En ngʼat mane mariek? Obiro fwenyo tiend gigi. En ngʼat mane manyalo fwenyo tiend wechegi? Obiro ngʼeyogi. Yore mag Jehova Nyasaye nikare, joma nikare ema wuothoe, to joma jendeke to chwanyore.
