< Hosea 14 >

1 Return! O Israel to Yahweh God your for you have stumbled on iniquity your.
‌ʻE ʻIsileli, tafoki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; he kuo ke tō ki lalo ʻi hoʻo hia.
2 Take with you words and return to Yahweh say to him every you will forgive iniquity and take good thing[s] so let us pay bulls lips our.
Toʻo kiate kimoutolu ʻae lea, pea tafoki kia Sihova: lea pehē kiate ia, “Toʻo atu ʻae hia kotoa pē, pea maʻu fakafiemālie ʻakimautolu: ko ia te mau ʻatu ai kiate koe ʻae ngaahi fua ʻo homau loungutu.
3 Assyria - not it will save us on horse[s] not we will ride and not we will say again gods our to [the] work of hands our that by you he is shown compassion [the] fatherless.
‌ʻE ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu ʻe ʻAsilia, ʻe ʻikai te mau heka ʻi he hoosi: pea ʻe ʻikai te mau toe pehē ki he ngāue ʻa homau nima, ‘Ko homau ʻotua ʻakimoutolu:’ he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he tamai mate ʻae ʻaloʻofa ʻiate koe.”
4 I will heal apostasy their I will love them voluntariness for it has turned away anger my from him.
“Te u fakamoʻui ʻenau fakaholomui, te u ʻofa mataʻataʻatā kiate kinautolu: he kuo afe meiate ia ʻa hoku houhau.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel it will blossom like lily and it may strike roots its like Lebanon.
Te u hangē ko e hahau ki ʻIsileli: te ne tupu ʻo hangē ko e lile, pea totolo hono aka ʻo hangē ko Lepanoni.
6 They will go young shoots its and it may be like olive tree splendor its and fragrance of it like Lebanon.
‌ʻE hoko ʻo lau lahi hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea ko hono lelei ʻe hangē ko e ʻakau ko e ʻolive, pea ko hono nanamu ʻe hangē ko Lepanoni.
7 They will return [those who] dwell in shade its they will cause to grow grain so they may blossom like vine memorial its [will be] like [the] wine of Lebanon.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he malu ʻo ia, te nau toe haʻu; te nau toe moʻui hangē ko e koane, pea tupu ʻo hangē ko e vaine: ko hono nanamu, ʻe hangē ko e uaine ʻo Lepanoni.
8 O Ephraim what? to me again to idols I I will answer and I will watch over it I [am] like a cypress tree luxuriant from me fruit your it is found.
‌ʻE pehē ʻe ʻIfalemi, Ko e hā te u toe kau ai mo e ngaahi tamapua? Kuo u fanongo, pea mamata kiate ia: ʻoku ou hangē ko e ʻakau mata ko e fea. ʻOku maʻu meiate au hoʻo fua.”
9 Who? [is] wise and let him understand these [things] discerning? and let him know them for [are] upright [the] ways of Yahweh and righteous [people] they walk in them and transgressors they stumble in them.
Ko hai ʻae poto, pea te ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? ʻAe fakapotopoto, pea te ne ʻiloʻi ia? He ko e ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova ʻoku totonu, pea ʻe ʻaʻeva ai ʻae angatonu: ka ʻe hinga hifo ai ʻae kau talangataʻa.
