Hosea 2
1 Say to brothers your people my and to sisters your she is Shown Compassion.
“Ha ũhoro wa ariũ a thoguo, meere atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ akwa’, na ha ũhoro wa aarĩ a thoguo, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ endwa akwa’.
2 Conduct a case with mother your conduct a case for she not [is] wife my and I not [am] husband her and let her remove prostitution her from face her and adulteries her from between breasts her.
“Thaithai nyina wanyu, mũthaithei, nĩgũkorwo we ti mũtumia wakwa, na niĩ ndirĩ mũthuuriwe. Nĩeherie maũndũ ma ũtharia ũthiũ-inĩ wake, na athengie ũmaraya gatagatĩ-inĩ ka nyondo ciake.
3 Lest I should strip her naked and I will exhibit her like [the] day was born she and I will make her like wilderness and I will make her like a land dry and I should make die her with thirst.
Akorwo ti ũguo ndĩmũrute nguo aikare arĩ njaga, na ndũme aikare njaga o ta mũthenya ũrĩa aaciarirwo; ngaamũtua ta werũ, na ndĩmũgarũre atuĩke bũrũri mũngʼaru, na ndĩmũũrage na nyoota.
4 And children her not I will have compassion on for [are] children of prostitution they.
Ndikaiguĩra ciana ciake tha, tondũ nĩ ciana cia ũtharia.
5 For she has prostituted herself mother their she has acted shamefully [the] [one who] conceived them for she said I will go after lovers my [who] give food my and water my wool my and flax my oil my and drinks my.
Nyina wao akoretwo akĩhũũra ũmaraya, na aagĩire nda ciao na njĩra cia ũũra-thoni. Nĩ ũndũ oigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũrũmĩrĩra endwa akwa, arĩa maaheaga irio ciakwa na maaĩ makwa, na guoya wakwa wa ngʼondu o na gatani yakwa, maguta makwa o na kĩrĩa nyuuaga.’
6 Therefore here I [am] about to fence up way your with thorns and I will wall up wall her and paths her not she will find.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo nĩngũhinga njĩra yake na mĩigua, ndĩmũirigĩre thĩinĩ, aage njĩra ya kuumĩra.
7 And she will pursue lovers her and not she will overtake them and she will seek them and not she will find [them] and she will say I will go and I will return to husband my former for it was good for me then more than now.
Nĩagatengʼeria endwa ake na ndakamakinyĩra. Akaamacaria na ndakamona. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩagacooka oige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũcooka kũrĩ mũthuuri wakwa wa mbere, nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndaikarĩte wega gũkĩra rĩu.’
8 And she not she knows that I I gave to her the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and silver I multiplied to her and gold [which] they made into Baal.
Mũtumia ũcio nĩagire kũmenya atĩ nĩ niĩ ndaamũheaga ngano, na ndibei ya mũhihano, o na maguta, na ngamũingĩhĩria betha na thahabu, iria maahũthagĩra gũthondeka ngai ĩrĩa ĩĩtagwo Baali.
9 Therefore I will return and I will take grain my at appropriate time its and new wine my at appointed time its and I will take away wool my and flax my to cover nakedness her.
“Tondũ ũcio nĩngoya ngano yakwa yakũra, na ndibei yakwa ya mũhihano yagĩrĩra, na ndĩmũtunye guoya wakwa wa ngʼondu na gatani yakwa, o iria ciarĩ cia kũmũhumbĩra njaga yake.
10 And now I will uncover lewdness her to [the] eyes of lovers her and anyone not he will deliver her from hand my.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩngaguũria maũndũ make ma waganu endwa ake mamwĩroreire; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamũteithũra moko-inĩ makwa.
11 And I will put an end to all gaiety her festival[s] her new moon[s] her and sabbath[s] her and every appointed feast her.
Nĩnganiina ikeno ciake ciothe, arĩ cio: ciathĩ ciake cia mwaka o mwaka, na Tũrũgamo twake twa mweri, na mĩthenya yake ya Thabatũ, na ciathĩ ciake ciothe iria nyamũre.
12 And I will devastate vine[s] her and fig tree[s] her which she said [are] wage[s] they of me which they gave to me lovers my and I will make them into a thicket and it will consume them [the] animal[s] of the field.
Nĩngathũkangia mĩthabibũ yake na mĩkũyũ yake, ĩrĩa oigire nĩ irĩhi rĩake kuuma kũrĩ endwa ake; nĩngamĩtua ihinga, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka nĩikamĩrĩa.”
13 And I will visit on her [the] days of the Baals when she made smoke to them and she ornamented herself ring[s] her and jewelry her and she went after lovers her and me she forgot [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngamũherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthenya ĩrĩa acinĩire Baali ũbumba; rĩrĩa eegemagia na icũhĩ, na mathaga ma goro, na akĩrũmĩrĩra endwa ake, no akĩriganĩrwo nĩ niĩ.
14 Therefore here! I [am] about to persuade her and I will lead her the wilderness and I will speak (to *L(abh)*) heart her.
“Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo nĩngũmũguucĩrĩria na waara; ngũmũtongoria nginya werũ-inĩ, na ndĩmwarĩrie na ciugo cia wendo.
15 And I will give to her vineyards her from there and [the] valley of Achor to a door of hope and she will answer there like [the] days of youth her and like [the] day went up she from [the] land of Egypt.
Kũu nĩkuo ngaamũcookeria mĩgũnda yake ya mĩthabibũ, na ndue Kĩanda kĩa Akori mũrango wa mwĩhoko. Kũu nĩkuo akaina o ta ũrĩa ainaga matukũ-inĩ ma ũnini wake, aine ta ũrĩa ainire mũthenya ũrĩa aambatire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.”
16 And it will be in the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh you will call husband my and not you will call me again Baal my.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩũkanjĩta ‘Mũthuuri wakwa’; ndũkanjĩta rĩngĩ ‘Mwathi wakwa’.
17 And I will remove [the] names of the Baals from mouth her and not they will be remembered again by name their.
Nĩngeheria marĩĩtwa ma Baali kuuma mĩromo-inĩ yake; marĩĩtwa macio matikagwetwo rĩngĩ.
18 And I will make to them a covenant in the day that with [the] animal[s] of the field and with [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] creeping thing[s] of the ground and bow and sword and battle I will break from the land and I will make lie down them to security.
Mũthenya ũcio nĩngathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra gũkũ thĩ nĩ ũndũ wao. Ũta, na rũhiũ rwa njora, na mbaara nĩngaciniina bũrũri-inĩ, nĩgeetha othe makomage marĩ na thayũ.
19 And I will betroth you to myself for ever and I will betroth you to myself in righteousness and in justice and in covenant loyalty and in compassion.
Nĩngakũũria ũtuĩke mũtumia wakwa nginya tene; ngaakũũria ũtuĩke wakwa ũhoro-inĩ wa ũthingu na wa kĩhooto, ngũũrie ndĩ na wendo na tha.
20 And I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness and you will know Yahweh.
Nĩngakũũria ũtuĩke wakwa na wĩhokeku, nawe nĩũgetĩkĩra Jehova.”
21 And it will be - in the day that I will answer [the] utterance of Yahweh I will answer the heavens and they they will answer the earth.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngacookia ũhoro; nĩngacookeria matu ũhoro, namo matu macookerie thĩ ũhoro;
22 And the earth it will answer the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and they they will answer Jezreel.
nayo thĩ ĩcookerie ngano, na ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta ũhoro, nacio nĩigacookeria Jezireeli ũhoro.
23 And I will sow her for myself in the land and I will have compassion on Lo-Ruhamah and I will say to Not-People My [are] people my you and he he will say God my.
Nĩngamũhaanda bũrũri-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wakwa mwene; nĩngonania wendo wakwa harĩ ũrĩa nderĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndikwendete’. Arĩa nderĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũtirĩ andũ akwa’, nĩngameera atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ akwa’; na mũndũ o mũndũ oige atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa.’”
