Hosea 2
1 "Say to your brothers, 'My People.' and to your sisters, 'Compassion.'
“Obboloota keessaniin, ‘Saba koo’ obboleettota keessaniin immoo, ‘Jaallatamtuu koo’ jedhaa.
2 Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, 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 make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her 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 Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;
Isaan ijoollee ejjummaa waan taʼaniif, ani ijoollee isheetiif garaa hin laafu.
5 For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me 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, look, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.
Kanaafuu ani haafa qoraattiitiin daandii ishee nan cufa; akka isheen karaa ittiin baatu hin arganneef dallaa itti nan ijaara.
7 She will follow after her lovers, but she won't overtake them; and she will seek them, but won't find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me 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 For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
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 will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered 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 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will 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 I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
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 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, 'These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,' and the animals of the field shall eat 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 I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me," says the LORD.
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, look, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
“Kanaafuu ani amma ishee nan sossoba; gara lafa gammoojjiitti ishee geessee jaalalaan itti nan dubbadha.
15 I will give her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came 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 It will be in that day," says the LORD, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'
“Ati gaafa sana” jedha Waaqayyo; “‘Dhirsa koo’ jettee na waamta; ati lammata deebitee, ‘Gooftaa koo’ naan hin jettu.
17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
Ani maqaawwan Baʼaal afaan isheetii nan balleessa; maqaan isaanii lammata hin dhaʼamu.
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the crawling creatures of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
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 I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
Ani bara baraan ofii kootiif sin kaadhimadha; ani qajeelummaa fi dhugaadhaan jaalalaa fi gara laafinaan sin kaadhimadha.
20 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
Ani amanamummaadhaan sin kaadhimadha; atis Waaqayyoon ni beekta.”
21 It will happen in that day, I will respond," says the LORD, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to 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 will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
laftis midhaaniif, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiif deebii kenniti; isaanis Yizriʼeeliif deebii kennu.
23 And I will sow her for myself in the land; and I will compassion on No Compassion; and I will say to Not My People, 'You are my people;' and they will say, '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.”
