Hosea 2
1 “Say to your brothers—Ammi, And to your sisters—Ruhamah.
“Obboloota keessaniin, ‘Saba koo’ obboleettota keessaniin immoo, ‘Jaallatamtuu koo’ jedhaa.
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,
“Haadha keessanitti dheekkamaa; isheetti dheekkamaa; isheen niitii koo mitiitii; anis dhirsa ishee miti. Isheen fuula ishee irraa ilaalcha ejjummaa haa balleessitu; amanamummaa dhabuus harma ishee gidduudhaa haa balleessitu.
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.
Yoo kanaa achii ani wayyaa ishee irraa baasee akkuma guyyaa isheen dhalatte sanaa qullaa ishee nan hambisaa; akkuma gammoojjii ishee nan godha; lafa goggogaatti ishee nan geeddara; dheebuudhaanis ishee nan ajjeesa.
4 And her sons I do not pity, For they [are] sons of whoredoms,
Isaan ijoollee ejjummaa waan taʼaniif, ani ijoollee isheetiif garaa hin laafu.
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.
Haati isaanii amanamummaa dhabdee karaa salphinaatiin isaan ulfoofte. Isheen, ‘Ani warra na jaallatu, warra nyaata koo fi bishaan koo, warra suufii koo fi wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, warra dibataa fi dhugaatii koo naaf kennan duukaa nan buʼa’ jette.
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.
Kanaafuu ani haafa qoraattiitiin daandii ishee nan cufa; akka isheen karaa ittiin baatu hin arganneef dallaa itti nan ijaara.
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.
Isheen michoota ishee duukaa buuti; garuu isaan hin qaqqabdu; isaan barbaaddi; garuu hin argitu. Ergasii isheen, ‘Ani akkuma duraa gara dhirsa kootti nan deebiʼa; amma caalaa yeroo sana wayya tureetii’ jetti.
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.
Isheen akka ani midhaan, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitii isheedhaaf kenne, meetii fi warqee isaan Baʼaaliif dhiʼeessanis kan ishee irratti dhangalaase anuma akka taʼe hin beekne.
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.
“Kanaafuu ani yeroo inni bilchaatutti midhaan koo, daadhii wayinii koo haaraa illee yeroo inni qophaaʼutti irraa nan fudhadha. Ani suufii koo fi wayyaa koo kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame kanan qullaa ishee dhoksuudhaaf kenneefis amma ishee irraa nan fudhadha.
10 And now I reveal her dishonor before the eyes of her lovers, And none deliver her out of My hand.
Ani amma ijuma michoota ishee duratti addaggummaa ishee nan saaxila; namni tokko iyyuu harka koo keessaa ishee hin baasu.
11 And I have caused all her joy to cease, Her festival, her new moon, and her Sabbath, Even all her appointed times,
Ani ayyaana ishee hunda jechuunis, ayyaana ishee kan waggaa, ayyaana ishee kan gaafa baatii haaraa, ayyaana ishee kan Sanbataatii fi ayyaanota ishee kanneen murtaaʼan hunda nan hambisa.
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.
Ani muka wayinii isheetii fi muka harbuu ishee kan isheen michoota kootu naaf kenne jettu sana nan barbadeessa. Ani daggala isaan nan godha; bineensi bosonaa isaan dheeda.
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.
Ani guyyoota isheen itti Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsite sanaaf ishee nan adaba; isheen qubeelaa fi faaya garaa garaatiin of miidhagsitee michoota ishee duukaa butee na irraanfatte” jedha Waaqayyo.
14 “Therefore, behold, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken to her heart,
“Kanaafuu ani amma ishee nan sossoba; gara lafa gammoojjiitti ishee geessee jaalalaan itti nan dubbadha.
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.
Ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii ishee deebisee nan kennaaf; Sulula Aakooris balbala abdii nan godha. Isheen achitti akkuma gaafa shamarrummaa isheetti, akkuma gaafa biyya Gibxii baateetti sirbiti.
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.
“Ati gaafa sana” jedha Waaqayyo; “‘Dhirsa koo’ jettee na waamta; ati lammata deebitee, ‘Gooftaa koo’ naan hin jettu.
17 And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered anymore by their name.
Ani maqaawwan Baʼaal afaan isheetii nan balleessa; maqaan isaanii lammata hin dhaʼamu.
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.
Ani gaafas bineensa bosonaatii fi simbirroota samii wajjin, uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan wajjin isaaniif kakuu nan gala. Ani akka isin nagaadhaan bultaniif xiyya, goraadee fi waraana lafa irraa nan balleessa.
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,
Ani bara baraan ofii kootiif sin kaadhimadha; ani qajeelummaa fi dhugaadhaan jaalalaa fi gara laafinaan sin kaadhimadha.
20 And betrothed you to Me in faithfulness, And you have known YHWH.
Ani amanamummaadhaan sin kaadhimadha; atis Waaqayyoon ni beekta.”
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.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani gaafas deebii siif nan kenna; ani samiif deebii nan kenna; samiinis lafaaf deebii ni kenna;
22 And the earth answers the grain, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer Jezreel.
laftis midhaaniif, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiif deebii kenniti; isaanis Yizriʼeeliif deebii kennu.
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!”
Ani ofii kootiif lafa irra ishee nan dhaabbadha; ani kanan, ‘Ati jaalallee koo miti’ jedheen sana nan jaalladha. Ani warra, ‘Isin saba koo miti’ jedhaman sanaan, ‘Isin saba koo ti’ nan jedha; isaanis, ‘Ati Waaqa koo ti’ naan jedhu.”
