< Hosea 14 >
1 [You people of] Israel, return to Yahweh our God. You are being punished because of the sins which you have committed.
१हे इस्राएल, अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा के पास लौट आ, क्योंकि तूने अपने अधर्म के कारण ठोकर खाई है।
2 So now return to Yahweh and say [MTY] this to him: “Forgive us for all the sins that we have committed, and kindly accept (us/our sacrifices) in order that we may thank/praise you [IDM].
२बातें सीखकर और यहोवा की ओर लौटकर, उससे कह, “सब अधर्म दूर कर; अनुग्रह से हमको ग्रहण कर; तब हम धन्यवाद रूपी बलि चढ़ाएँगे।
3 [We admit that] Assyria will not save us, and our war horses will not save us, either. We will never again say, ‘You are our gods’ to [the idols that] we [SYN] have made. You are the one who acts mercifully to orphans.”
३अश्शूर हमारा उद्धार न करेगा, हम घोड़ों पर सवार न होंगे; और न हम फिर अपनी बनाई हुई वस्तुओं से कहेंगे, ‘तुम हमारे ईश्वर हो;’ क्योंकि अनाथ पर तू ही दया करता है।”
4 [Yahweh says, “If they say that to me, ] I will forgive them for having (turned away from/abandoned) me, and I will love them with all my inner being, because I [PRS] will have stopped being angry with them.
४मैं उनकी भटक जाने की आदत को दूर करूँगा; मैं सेंत-मेंत उनसे प्रेम करूँगा, क्योंकि मेरा क्रोध उन पर से उतर गया है।
5 I will be to the people of Israel like dew [that refreshes the soil]. When I do that, they will [become as delightful as] [MET] lilies are when they are blooming. [No one will be able to conquer them; ] they will be [as unmovable as] [SIM] the roots [of cedar trees].
५मैं इस्राएल के लिये ओस के समान होऊँगा; वह सोसन के समान फूले-फलेगा, और लबानोन के समान जड़ फैलाएगा।
6 [Their good influence will spread] like [MET] the branches of a tree. They will be like [SIM] beautiful olive trees, and [they will be as delightful as] [SIM] the aroma of the cedar [trees in] Lebanon.
६उसकी जड़ से पौधे फूटकर निकलेंगे; उसकी शोभा जैतून की सी, और उसकी सुगन्ध लबानोन की सी होगी।
7 People will [come to them to be protected] [like people are protected from the hot sun by being] [MET] in the shade [of a tree]. They [will (flourish/be strong) like] [SIM] grain that grows well. They will [be successful like] a vineyard [in which grapes grow abundantly]. They will become as famous/well-known as [SIM] the wines from Lebanon.
७जो उसकी छाया में बैठेंगे, वे अन्न के समान बढ़ेंगे, वे दाखलता के समान फूले-फलेंगे; और उसकी कीर्ति लबानोन के दाखमधु की सी होगी।
8 [You people of] Israel, do not [RHQ] have anything more to do with idols; if you [get rid of your idols], I will answer your [prayers] and take care of you. I am like [MET] a strong/green pine tree, and your blessings come from me.”
८एप्रैम कहेगा, “मूरतों से अब मेरा और क्या काम?” मैं उसकी सुनकर उस पर दृष्टि बनाए रखूँगा। मैं हरे सनोवर सा हूँ; मुझी से तू फल पाया करेगा।
9 Those who are wise will understand the things [about which I have written]. Those who think well will pay careful attention to them. The things that Yahweh wants us to do [MET] are right; righteous people will conduct their lives adhering to them. But those who rebel against Yahweh will be ruined.
९जो बुद्धिमान हो, वही इन बातों को समझेगा; जो प्रवीण हो, वही इन्हें बूझ सकेगा; क्योंकि यहोवा के मार्ग सीधे हैं, और धर्मी उनमें चलते रहेंगे, परन्तु अपराधी उनमें ठोकर खाकर गिरेंगे।
