Hosea 2
1 “Say to your brothers—Ammi, And to your sisters—Ruhamah.
“Luonguru oweteu ni ‘Joga,’ kendo luonguru nyimineu ni ‘Joma ahero.’”
2 Plead with your mother—plead (For she [is] not My wife, and I [am] not her husband), And she turns her whoredoms from before her, And her adulteries from between her breasts,
“Kwer minu, kwere, nikech ok en jaoda, kendo ok an chwore. Onego owe wangʼ maneno mar chode kendo gi yorene mag dwanyruok.
3 Lest I strip her naked. And have set her up as [in] the day of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set her as a dry land, And have put her to death with thirst.
Ka ok kamano to abiro lonye duk modongʼ kaka ne onywole; anakete ochal kaka lop ongoro, analoke kaka lowo motwo mobaro okak, kendo ananege kod riyo mar pi.
4 And her sons I do not pity, For they [are] sons of whoredoms,
Ok anaher nyithinde, nikech gin nyithindo mane oyud e yor chode.
5 For their mother has gone whoring, Their conceiver has acted shamefully, For she has said, I go after my lovers, Those giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
Min-gi ok osebedo ja-ratiro kendo osemako ich gi anjawo. Owacho ni, ‘Abiro luwo bangʼ joherana, mamiya chiemba kod piga, yie rombe gi pamba michweyogo lewni, mo kod math.’
6 Therefore, behold, I am hedging up your way with thorns, And I have made a wall for her, And her paths she does not find.
Omiyo anagengʼ yore kod bungu maduongʼ mar kudho; abiro dinone chuth ma ok noyud yo mowuok godo oko.
7 And she has pursued her lovers, And she does not overtake them, And has sought them, and does not find [them], And she has said: I go, and I return to my first husband, For—better to me then than now.
Enolaw bangʼ jochodenego to ok nomakgi; enomanygi to ok noyudgi. Bangʼe to enowachi niya, Abiro dokne chwora mokwongo, nimar ndalono ne awinjo maber moloyo sani.
8 And she did not know that I had given to her The grain, and the new wine, and the oil. Indeed, I multiplied silver to her, And the gold they prepared for Ba‘al.
Ok osengʼeyo adier ni an ema ne amiye cham, divai manyien kod mo, an bende ema ne adhiale gi fedha gi dhahabu mangʼenygo mane gitiyo nego Baal.
9 Therefore I return, And I have taken My grain in its season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness.
“Kuom mano abiro kawo chamba ka osechiek, gi divaina manyien ka oseikore. Bende anakaw yie rombona gi pambana mitwangʼo godo lewni mane onego oum-go duge.
10 And now I reveal her dishonor before the eyes of her lovers, And none deliver her out of My hand.
Koro abiro nyiso ayanga gombo mare mar chode e lela e nyim joherane; kendo onge ngʼama nogole e lweta.
11 And I have caused all her joy to cease, Her festival, her new moon, and her Sabbath, Even all her appointed times,
Nyasi duto ma en-go anakethi: nyasi mar higa ka higa, mar dwe ka dwe, mar Sabato kod nyasi motimo juma ka juma.
12 And made desolate her vine and her fig tree, Of which she said, They [are] a wage to me, That my lovers have given to me, And I have made them for a forest, And a beast of the field has consumed them.
Anaketh yiendene mag mzabibu gi yiend ngʼopene mane owacho ni ne chudone moa kuom joherane. Abiro ketogi bunge, kendo le mag bungu nokethgi.”
13 And I have charged on her the days of the Ba‘alim, To whom she makes incense, And puts on her ring and her ornament, And goes after her lovers, And forgot Me,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Anakume kuom ndalo duto mane owangʼo ubani ne Baal; korwakore gi gik mabeyo ahinya kolombogo joherane, to an ne wiye owil koda.
14 “Therefore, behold, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken to her heart,
“Kuom mano abiro hoye, mi adhi kode e piny motimo ongoro, kendo abiro wuoyo kode gi muolo.
15 And given to her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor for an opening of hope, And she has responded there as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
Kanyo abiro dwokone puothe mar mzabibu, Kendo analos holo mar Akor obed dhood geno. Kanyo nowerie mana kaka nower kapod otin, mana ka chiengʼ mane owuok koa Misri.”
16 And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “You call Me: My husband, And do not call Me anymore: My lord.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Odiechiengʼno iniluonga ni ‘chwora,’ to ok inichak iluonga ni ‘jatenda.’
17 And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered anymore by their name.
Abiro golo nyinge mag Baal oa e dhoge. Nying Baal ok nochak owuo kuomgi kendo.
18 And I have made a covenant for them in that day, With the beast of the field, And with the bird of the heavens, And the creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down confidently.
Chiengʼno anaketnegi singruok e kindgi gi le mag thim gi winy manie kor polo, gi chwech mamol e lowo, atungʼ gi ligangla to abiro turo, kendo lweny bende anatiek e piny, mondo gik moko duto obed gi kwe.
19 And I have betrothed you to Me for all time, And betrothed you to Me in righteousness, And in judgment, and kindness, and mercies,
Abiro timo kodi singruok mar kend mondo ibed mara chuth; abiro timo kodi singruok mar kend e yo maler kendo maratiro, gihera kod kech.
20 And betrothed you to Me in faithfulness, And you have known YHWH.
Abiro timo kodi singruok mar kend e yo mar adiera, kendo ibiro yie kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
21 And it has come to pass in that day, I answer,” A declaration of YHWH, “I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E odiechiengno abiro dwoko kwayou ma boche polo, nochiw koth ne piny,
22 And the earth answers the grain, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer Jezreel.
kendo cham biro nyak e piny, kaachiel gi divai manyien kod mo zeituni, mi giduto ginyag Jezreel.
23 And I have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, You [are] My people, And he says, My God!”
Abiro pidhe e piny ne an awuon; abiro nyiso herana ni ngʼat mane aluongo ni ‘Ok jaherana.’ Anawach ni joma iluongo ni, ‘Joma ok joga,’ ni, ‘Un joga’; kendo ginidwoka ni, ‘In Nyasachwa.’”
