Hosea 14
1 Israel, return to YHWH your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.
Yaa Israaʼel, gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiitti deebiʼi. Ati sababii cubbuu keetiitiif gufatteetii!
2 Take words with you, and return to YHWH. Tell him, "Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good, and we will offer the fruit of our lips.
Dubbicha fudhadhuutii gara Waaqayyoo deebiʼi. Akkanas jedhiin: “Cubbuu keenya hunda nuuf dhiisi; akka nu ija arraba keenyaa siif dhiʼeessinuuf, arjummaadhaan nu simadhu.
3 Assyria can't save us. We won't ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, 'Our gods.' for in you the fatherless finds mercy."
Asoor nu oolchuu hin dandaʼu; nu fardeen lolaa hin yaabbannu. Nu siʼachi deebinee, waan harki keenya hojjeteen, ‘Waaqota keenya’ hin jennu; daaʼimman abbaa hin qabne gara laafina sirraa argatuutii.”
4 "I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from him.
“Ani gantummaa isaanii nan fayyisa, toluman isaan jaalladha; aariin koo isaan irraa deebiʼeeraatii.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.
Ani Israaʼelitti akkuma fixeensaa nan taʼa; inni akkuma daraaraa ni daraara. Inni akkuma gaattiraa Libaanoon hidda isaa gad fageeffata;
6 His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
dameen isaa ni guddata. Miidhaginni isaa akkuma muka ejersaa taʼa; urgaan isaa akkuma gaattiraa Libaanoon.
7 They will return and dwell in his shade. They will live and be abundantly satisfied with grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
Namoonni ammas deebiʼanii gaaddisa isaa jala jiraatu. Inni akkuma midhaanii lalisa. Akkuma muka wayinii dagaaga; maqaan isaas akkuma daadhii wayinii Libaanoon beekama.
8 Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green fir tree; from me your fruit is found."
Yaa Efreem, ani kana caalaa waaqota tolfamoo wajjin dhimma maaliin qaba? Kan deebii siif kennee si eegu anuma. Ani akkuma muka birbirsa lalisaa ti; amanamummaan kee ana irraa dhufa.”
9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of YHWH are right, and the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.
Namni ogeessi eenyu? Inni waan kana ni beeka. Qalbii qabeessi eenyu? Inni waan kana ni hubata. Karaan Waaqayyoo qajeelaa dha; namni qajeelaan isa irra deema; finciltoonni garuu isa irratti gufatu.
