Hosea 14
1 O ISRAEL, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
Yaa Israaʼel, gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiitti deebiʼi. Ati sababii cubbuu keetiitiif gufatteetii!
2 Take with you words, and return unto the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we render [as] bullocks [the offering 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 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Ye are] our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth 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 backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
“Ani gantummaa isaanii nan fayyisa, toluman isaan jaalladha; aariin koo isaan irraa deebiʼeeraatii.
5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Ani Israaʼelitti akkuma fixeensaa nan taʼa; inni akkuma daraaraa ni daraara. Inni akkuma gaattiraa Libaanoon hidda isaa gad fageeffata;
6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
dameen isaa ni guddata. Miidhaginni isaa akkuma muka ejersaa taʼa; urgaan isaa akkuma gaattiraa Libaanoon.
7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive [as] the corn, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as 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 [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir tree; from me is thy fruit 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, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein.
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.
