Hosea 14
1 O Israel, returne vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen by thine iniquitie.
Lọghachikwutenụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, unu ndị Izrel; nʼihi na ọ bụ mmehie unu wetaara unu ịsọ ngọngọ.
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.
Chịrịnụ okwu nʼọnụ unu lọghachikwute Onyenwe anyị. Gwanụ ya sị, “Gbaghara mmehie anyị niile, jirikwa ihuọma nabata anyị, ka anyị si otu a jiri egbugbere ọnụ anyị chụọrọ gị aja.
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.
Ndị Asịrịa enweghị ike ịzọpụta anyị, ọ bụghị nʼelu ịnyịnya agha ka anyị ga-anọkwasị. Anyị agaghị asịkwa ‘Chi anyị ka unu bụ’ nye ihe ndị ahụ anyị jiri aka anyị pịa, nʼihi na nʼime gị, ka ndị na-enweghị nne na nna na-achọta obi ebere.”
4 I wil heale their rebellion: I wil loue them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
“Aga m agwọ ndaghachi azụ ha, jiri obi m niile hụ ha nʼanya, nʼihi na iwe m esitela nʼebe ha nọ chigharịa.
5 I will be as the dewe vnto Israel: he shall grow as the lilie and fasten his rootes, as the trees of Lebanon.
Aga m adịrị Izrel dịka igirigi. Ọ ga-amakwa ifuru dịka okoko lili. Dịka osisi sida nke Lebanọn, mgbọrọgwụ ya ga-abami nʼime ala;
6 His branches shall spread, and his beautie shalbe as the oliue tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
ome ya ga-awasa, ịma mma ya ga-adịkwa ka osisi oliv, isisi ọma ọ na-esi ga-adị ka isi osisi sida nke Lebanọn.
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.
Ha ga-ebi nʼokpuru ndo m. Ha ga-etolite dịka osisi ọka dị ndụ. Ha ga-ama ifuru dịka osisi ubi vaịnị, a ga-amatakwa ha nʼebe niile dịka e si mara mmanya e mere na Lebanọn.
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.
Gị Ifrem, gịnị ka mụ na arụsị nwekọrọ? Mụ onwe m ga-aza ya, ma lekọtakwa ya. Mụ onwe m dịkwa ka osisi junipa dị ndụ. Ịmị mkpụrụ gị na-esitekwa nʼebe m nọ abịa.”
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.
Onye bụ onye amamihe? Ha ga-aghọta ihe ndị a. Onye bụ onye nwere uche nghọta? Ha ga-aghọta ihe ọ pụtara. Nʼihi na ụzọ Onyenwe anyị bụ ezi ụzọ. Ndị ezi omume na-ejekwa ije na ha, ma ndị na-enupu isi na-asọ ngọngọ nʼime ha.
