Hosea 2
1 Say to brothers your people my and to sisters your she is Shown Compassion.
“Gwa ụmụnne gị ndị nwoke Ami, ‘nke pụtara ndị m,’ gwakwa ụmụnne gị nwanyị Ruhama, nke pụtara, ‘Unu ndị m hụrụ nʼanya.’
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.
“Unu guzogidenụ nne unu, rịọọnụ ya, nʼihi na ọ bụghị nwunye m, mụ onwe m abụkwaghị di ya. Gwanụ ya ka o wezuga ịkwa iko site nʼihu ya, ya wezugakwa ịgba akwụna nke dị nʼetiti ara ya abụọ.
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.
Ma ọ bụghị otu a, aga m eyipụ ya uwe ya mee ka ọ gbara ọtọ, aga m eme ka o gbara ọtọ dị ka nʼụbọchị ahụ a mụrụ ya. Aga m eme ya ka ọ dị ka ọzara, ka ọ ghọọ nʼala kpọrọ nkụ, were akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ mee ka ọ nwụọ.
4 And children her not I will have compassion on for [are] children of prostitution they.
Agaghị m egosi ụmụ ya ebere m, nʼihi na ha bụ ụmụ a kwatara nʼiko.
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.
Nʼihi na nne ha bụ onye na-akwa iko, ọ tụrụ ime ha nʼọnọdụ ihere. Site nʼikwu sị, ‘Aghaghị m ịgbakwuru ndị enyi nwoke hụrụ m nʼanya, ndị na-enye m nri na mmiri, ajị anụ m na akwa ọcha m, mmanụ oliv m na ihe ọṅụṅụ m.’
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.
Nʼihi nke a, aga m eji ogwu na uke gbachie ya gburugburu; aga m agbachi ụzọ ya, mee ya ka ọ ghara ịma ebe ọ na-eje.
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.
Ọ ga-agbaso ndị ahụ hụrụ ya nʼanya ma ọ gaghị achụkwute ha. Ọ ga-achọ ha ma ọ gaghị ahụ ha. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-asị, ‘Ka m gaa laghachikwuru di mbụ m, nʼihi na ọ dịrị m mma mgbe ahụ karịa ugbu a.’
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.
Ma ọ kwetaghị na ihe ndị a si nʼaka m, na ọ bụ mụ nyere ya ọka, na mmanya ọhụrụ, na mmanụ oliv, na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo ndị ahụ niile nke o ji na-efe Baal.
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.
“Ya mere, aga m ewerekwa ọka m mgbe ọ chara, na mmanya ọhụrụ m mgbe oge ya ruru. Aga m anapụkwa ya akwa ajị anụ m na akwa ọcha m, nke ekwesiri iji kpuchie ọtọ ya.
10 And now I will uncover lewdness her to [the] eyes of lovers her and anyone not he will deliver her from hand my.
Ugbu a, aga m ekpughe ọtọ ya nʼihu ndị ahụ na-ahụ ya nʼanya, ọ dịkwaghị onye nwere ike ịnapụta ya site nʼaka m.
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.
Aga m eme ka obi ụtọ ya kwụsị; ọ bụladị mmemme nke afọ niile, mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ, nke ụbọchị izuike na mmemme ndị ọzọ ahụ niile a kara aka.
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.
Aga m ala ubi vaịnị ya na osisi fiig ya niile nʼiyi, nke ọ sịrị bụ ụgwọ ọrụ ya site nʼaka ndị hụrụ ya nʼanya; aga m emekwa ka ha ghọọ oke ọhịa, anụ ọhịa ga-eripịa ha.
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.
Aga m enye ya ahụhụ maka ụbọchị niile bụ nke o surere ihe na-esi isi ụtọ nye chi Baal niile, ọ chịrị mgbaaka mkpịsịaka na ihe ịchọ mma niile, jikere onwe ya, pụọ chụso ndị ahụ hụrụ ya nʼanya, ma chezọọ m,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
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.
“Nʼihi nke a, aga m arara ya, duba ya nʼime ọzara, jiri olu dị nro gwa ya okwu nʼebe ahụ.
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.
Ebe ahụ ka m ga-enyeghachi ya ubi vaịnị ya, gbanweekwa Ndagwurugwu Akọ, mee ka ọ ghọọ ọnụ ụzọ olileanya. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-azakwa m dịka o mere mgbe ọ bụ agbọghọbịa, nʼoge ahụ o si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
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.
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Ị ga-akpọ m ‘Di m,’ ị gaghị akpọkwa m ‘nna m ukwu,’ ọzọ.
17 And I will remove [the] names of the Baals from mouth her and not they will be remembered again by name their.
Nʼihi na aga m ewepụkwa aha niile nke arụsị Baal nʼegbugbere ọnụ ya, ha gaghị akpọkwa ha aha ọzọ.
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m eme ka gị na ụmụ anụ ọhịa gbaa ndụ, meekwa ka gị na ụmụ nnụnụ, na ihe niile e kere eke nʼakpụgharị nʼala gbaa ndụ. Aga m emebi ngwa agha niile, agha niile ga-akwụsịkwa. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-eme ka ị dịnaa ala nʼudo na-enweghị nsogbu, na ụjọ.
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.
Aga m ekwerekwa ịlụ gị dịka nwunye ruo ebighị ebi; aga m ekwerekwa ịlụ gị nʼezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi, nʼịhụnanya nke na-adịgide, nakwa obi ebere.
20 And I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness and you will know Yahweh.
Aga m eji ikwesi ntụkwasị obi kwere ịlụ gị. Ị ga-amatakwa Onyenwe anyị.
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.
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ m ga-azaghachi,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. “M ga-azaghachi eluigwe, ha ga-azaghachi ala.
22 And the earth it will answer the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and they they will answer Jezreel.
Ala ga-azaghachi ọka na mmanya ọhụrụ na mmanụ oliv, mgbe ahụ ha ga-azaghachi Jezril.
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.
Aga m akụkwa ya nye onwe m nʼala ahụ dịka mkpụrụ. Aga m egosi ịhụnanya m nʼahụ onye ahụ m kpọrọ, ‘Onye m na-ahụghị nʼanya.’ M ga-asịkwa ndị ahụ a kpọrọ, ‘Ndị na-abụghị ndị m,’ ‘Unu bụ ndị nke m,’ Ha ga-azakwa, ‘Chineke m ka ị bụ.’”
