Hosea 2
1 Say ye unto your brethren, O Ammi ["O my people"], and unto your sisters, O Ruhamah ["O compassionated one"]:
Ke ma inge, pangon mukul Israel wiowos “Ammi,” ac mutan Israel wiowos, “Ruhamah.”.
2 Contend ye with your mother, contend, for she is no wife of mine, and I am no husband of hers, Let her then put away her paramours from before her, and her partners in adultery, from her embraces:
Tulik nutik, fahla nu yurin nina kiomtal, el finne tila mutan se kiuk ac nga tila mukul tumal. Fahla kwafe sel elan tui liki elahn kosro lal ac moul fohkfok lal.
3 Lest I strip off her under-clothing, and set her forth to view, as in the day she was born, —and make her like a wilderness, and render her like a land that is parched, and suffer her to die of thirst;
El fin tiana tui, nga fah selya elan koflufolla oana ke len se el isusla ah. Nga fah oru elan oana sie acn musrasrla ac el fah misa ke malu.
4 And, on her children, not have compassion, —because, the children of paramours, they are.
Nga fah tia pakomuta tulik natul, mweyen elos tulik nutin sie mutan kosro.
5 For their mother, hath been unchaste, and she that conceived them, hath caused shame, —for she said, Let me go after my lovers! who used to give my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, mine oil, and my drink.
Mutan sac el sifacna fahk mu, “Nga ac som nu yurin mukul nga orek pwar se — elos se mwe mongo nak ac kof nimuk, unen sheep ac nuknuk linen, oil in olive ac wain.”
6 Therefore, behold me! hedging up her way, with thorns, —and I will wall her in, and, her footpaths, shall she not find.
Ke ma inge, nga ac kalsalak ke kokul, ac etoak sie pot in kosralla.
7 And, when she shall pursue her lovers, and not overtake them, and shall seek them and not find, then will she say, Let me go my way now! and return unto my first husband, for it was better with me, then, than, now!
El ac kasrusr ukwe mukul el orek pwar nu se tuh el ac fah tia sonolos. El ac fah sokolos tuh el ac fah tia konalosyak. Na el ac fah fahk, “Nga ac folokla nu yurin mukul tumuk ah. Wo nu sik ke pacl se nga muta yorol ah liki na inge.”
8 But, she, owneth not, that, I, gave her—the corn, and the new wine and the oil, —silver, also increased I unto her, and gold—[which] they offered to Baal!
El ac fah tiana akkalemye lah nga pa kital wheat, wain, oil in olive, ac silver ac gold nukewa ma el alyalukin nu sel Baal.
9 Therefore, will I again take away my corn, in the time thereof, and my new wine, in the season thereof, —and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to hide her shame.
Ouinge ke pacl in kosrani nga fah folokonma mwe sang luk nu sel ke wheat ac wain, ac nga fah eisla unen sheep ac nuknuk linen ma nga tuh sang elan nukum.
10 Now, therefore, will I expose her unseemliness, before the eyes of her lovers, —and no, man, shall deliver her out of my hand!
Nga fah akkoflufolyal ye mutun mwet el orek pwar yoro, ac wangin sie fah ku in molella liki ku luk.
11 And I will cause to cease all her mirth, her pilgrim-festival, her new moon and her sabbath, —and her every appointed meeting;
Nga fah oru tuh pacl in engan lal nukewa in wanginla — pwar lal ke yac nukewa, malem nukewa, Sabbath nukewa — aok, toeni in alyalu nukewa lal.
12 And will lay waste her vine and her fig- tree, as to which she hath said, A present, are they for myself, which my lovers, have given me, —and I will make of them a thicket, and the wild beasts of the field shall devour them.
Nga fah kunausla ima in grape lal ac sak fig sunal su el fahk mu mukul kawuk lal sang lal. Nga fah ekulla ima in grape lal ac sak sunal tuh in oana yen mwesis. Kosro lemnak uh ac fah kunausla.
13 So will I visit upon her the days of the Baals, unto whom she used to burn incense, and decked herself with her nose-ring and her jewelry, and went her way after her lovers, —whereas, me, she forgat, Declareth Yahweh.
Nga fah kael ke pacl el tuh mulkinyula ac esukak mwe keng nu sel Baal, ac pacl el naweyukla som ukwe mukul kawuk lal. Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
14 Therefore, lo! I, am going to persuade her, and, though I conduct her forth into wilderness, yet will I speak unto her heart.
Ouinge nga fah sifil folokunulla nu yen mwesis, ac nga fah kaskas kulang nu sel in akwoye insial.
15 Then will I give to her her vineyards from thence, and the vale of Achor ["trouble"] 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.
Nga fah folokonang nu sel ima in grape lal meet ah, ac oru tuh Infahlfal in Lokoalok in ekla mutunoa lun finsrak. El fah topukyu we oana el tuh topukyu ke el fusr ac ilme liki facl Egypt.
16 And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, that she will call me Ishi ["My husband"], and will not call me any more, Baali ["Mine owner"].
Na el fah sifilpa pangon mu nga mukul tumal — el ac fah tia sifilpa pangon mu nga Baal lal.
17 So will I take away the names of the Baals, out of her mouth, —and they shall not be called to mind any more, by their name.
Nga fah tiana fuhlela elan sifilpa fahkla ine se inge “Baal.”
18 And I will solemnize to them a covenant, in that day, with the wild-beast of the field, and with the bird of the heavens, and the creeping thing of the ground, —and, bow and sword and battle, will I break in pieces out of the land, so will I cause them to lie down, in security.
Ke pacl sac, nga fah oru sie wulela yurin kosro lemnak nukewa ac won sohksok uh, elos in tia akkolukye mwet luk. Nga fah oayapa eosla kufwen mwet mweun nukewa liki acn uh — cutlass ac mwe pisr nukewa — ac nga fah oru tuh mwet luk uh in muta in misla ac tia sensen.
19 And I will take thee unto myself, unto times age-abiding, —yea I will take thee unto myself, in righteousness and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in abounding compassion:
Israel, nga fah eis kom in mutan kiuk nwe tok; Nga ac fah pwayena ac suwosna nu sum; Nga fah akkalemye pakoten ac lungse kawil luk nu sum.
20 Yea I will take thee unto myself, in faithfulness, —So shalt thou know Yahweh.
Nga fah karinganang wulela luk nu sum, Ac kom fah akilen lah pwaye nga pa LEUM GOD.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will respond, Declareth Yahweh, I will respond to the heavens, —and, they, shall respond to the earth;
In pacl sac nga fah topuk pre lun Israel, mwet luk.
22 And, the earth, shall respond to the corn, and to the new wine and to the oil, —and, they, shall respond to Jezreel ["Whom GOD scattereth," "Whom GOD soweth"].
Nga fah oru af in kahk nu faclu, Na faclu fah fokkakin wheat, grape ac olive.
23 So will I sow her unto me in the land, and will have compassion upon the uncompassionated one ["Lo-ruhamah"], —and will say to him who was No-people-of-mine ["Lo-ammi"], My people, thou art, and, he, shall say, My God!
Nga fah oaki mwet luk fin acn uh, ac oru tuh elos in sun wo ouiya. Nga fah pakoten nu selos su ekin “Tia Pakomuteyuk,” Ac nu selos su ekin “Tia Mwet Luk,” Nga fah fahk, “Kowos mwet luk,” Ac elos fah topuk, “Kom God lasr.”
