Hosea 2

1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ru-hamah.

“Sọ fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ, ‘Ènìyàn mi,’ kí o sì wí fún àwọn arábìnrin rẹ ‘Àyànfẹ́ mi.’

2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she [is] not my wife, neither [am] I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, 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 make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.

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 upon her children; for they [be] the children of whoredoms.

Èmi kò ní fi àánú mi hàn sí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ nítorí ọmọ àgbèrè ni wọ́n jẹ́.

5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine 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 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that 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, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find [them: ] then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then [was it] better with me 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 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for 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 the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to cover her nakedness.

“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 will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.

Èmi yóò sì fi ìwà ìtìjú rẹ̀ hàn lójú àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀ kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbà á sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ mi,

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

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, whereof she hath said, These [are] my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

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, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat 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 bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

“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 her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came 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 at that day, saith the LORD, [that] thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt 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 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by 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 will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and [with] the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

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 betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

Èmi yóò fẹ́ ọ fún ara mi títí láé; Èmi ó fẹ́ ọ ní ìwà òdodo àti òtítọ́, ní ìfẹ́ àti àánú.

20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know 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 corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.

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 upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [them which were] 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.’”
