Hosea 2
1 [At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
“Amaiba: le, dia na: iyado Isala: ili dunu ilima amo dio asulima, “Gode Ea fi dunu” amola “Hina Gode da ilima asigisa.”
2 [Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
“Na mano dilia! Dilia ha: giwane dilia amema edegema. E da wali na uda hame. Amola na da wali ea dunu hame. Amola inia: dunu adole lasu hou amola hina da: iga bidi lasu hou yolema: ne ha: giwane sia: ma.
3 If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
Be e da dilia sia: i defele hame hamosea, Na da ea abula gagadelale fasili, bu da: i nabado hi musa: emea lalelegei amo defele ba: ma: mu. Amola Na da e soge hano hamedei amola ifa hame heda: i, amo defele hamomu. Amola e da hano hanaga bogomu.
4 I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
5 Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
Na da ema amola ea manoma hame asigimu. Bai ea mano da inia: wamomanoba: le, e da hame gogosiasa amola hame beda: sa. Amola uda da hisu amane sia: i, ‘Na da na gilisili golabe dunu ilima masunu. Ilia da nama ha: i manu amola hano, sibi hinabo, abula, olife susuligi amola waini hano iaha.’
6 So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
Amaiba: le, Na da asili, aya: gaga: nomei aya: lidili, ea masunu logo hedofama: ne gagomu.
7 They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are now.’
E da ea sasagesu dunu gagumusa: hehenamu amomane hame gagulaligimu. Ea da amo hogomu be amomane hame ba: mu. Amalalu, e da amane sia: mu, ‘Na ni musa: fi dunu ema sinidigimu. Amola musa: esalusu amo dawa: le, waha esalebe we dawa: loba da musa: esalusu amo da defeadafa dawa: sa.’
8 But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship Baal.
Ea da gagoma, waini, olife susuligi, silifa amola gouli amoga Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu. Be amo liligi huluane Na da ema i dagoi, amo e da hamedafa dawa: i.
9 Therefore I will return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
Amaiba: le, na da gamisu eso amoga gagoma amola waini hano Na ema i, amo bu Ni lamu. Amola wulo amola abula Na ema gasisa: lima: ne i, amo bu Ni lamu.
10 I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
Amola Na da ea sasagesu dunu ilia si da: iya ea abula sali gagadelale fasimu. Amola Na gasa bagadeba: le, e da enoga gaga: mu hamedei ba: mu.
11 I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
Na da ea lolo nabe gilisisu huluane, ea odega amola oubiga amola Sa: bade amola sia: ne gadosu gilisisu, amo huluane Na da dagolesimu.
12 I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
Na da ea waini efe sagai amola figi ifa (amo da ea gilisili golabe dunu ilia da ema dabe agoane i e da sia: su) amo huluane wadela: lesimu. Na da amo wadela: lesisia, soge da hafoga: i wadela: i soge agoane ba: mu. Amola sigua ohe da amo wadela: lesimu.
13 I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
Na da ema se bagade imunu. Bai eso bagohame, e da Na gogolele, ogogosu ‘gode’ Ba: ile ema gabusiga: manoma gobele salasu amola nina: hamosu liligi gaga: ne ea sasagesu dunu ilia ahoabe fa: no bobogesu,” Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
14 But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
“Amaiba: le, Na da e bu hafoga: i sogega oule masunu. Amogawi, Na da e Nama bu sinidigima: ne, asigi sia: sia: mu.
15 I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
Na da ea musa: waini efe sagai duga: i amo ema bu imunu. Na da Bidi Hamosu Fago afadenene, bu hahawane misunu logo holei agoane hamomu. E da ea a: fini esoga Idibidi yolesili, Nama asigi galu. Amo defele, e da Nama bu asigimu.
16 At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
Amasea, e da bu Nama ‘Nagoa’ sia: mu. E da Nama ‘Na Ba: ile’ amo bu hame sia: mu.
17 I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
Amola e da Ba: ile ea dio bu hamedafa sia: ma: ne, Na da hamomu.
18 At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
Amo esoha, Na da sigua ohe amola sio fi huluane ilima gousa: su hamomu. Ilia da Na fi dunu hamedafa wadela: lesima: ne, Na da gousa: su hamomu. Amola Na da Isala: ili sogega gegesu liligi (gobihei sedade amola dadi) amo huluane samogele fasimu. Amasea, Na hamobeba: le, Na fi dunu da olofole amola gaga: iwane esalumu.
19 I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
Isala: ili fi! Na da di Na uda hamomu! Na da di hamedafa yolesimu. Na da dima asigidafa hou amola gogolema: ne olofosu hou olelemu. Amola di da Na udadafa agoane esalalalumu.
20 I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
Na da Na dafawane ilegei sia: i noga: le ouligili, di Na udadafa hamomu. Amola di da Nama dia Hina Godedafa sia: mu.
21 At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
22 and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
Amo esoga Na da Na fi Isala: ili dunu ilia sia: ne gadosa adole ba: i liligi ilima imunu. Na da gibu defele imunu. Amasea, osoboga gagoma amola waini fage amola olife fage bagade heda: lebe ba: mu.
23 [At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
Na da hamobeba: le, Na fi dunu da ilia sogega hahawane amola bagade gaguiwane esalebe ba: mu. Na da musa: Na fi dunuma, ‘Ilima hame Asigisa’ dio asuli. Be Na da ilima asigidafa hou bu olelemu. Amola Na musa: Na fi dunuma ‘Na fi dunu hame’ dio asuli. Be Na da fa: no ‘Dilia da Na fidafa dunu’ ilima sia: mu. Amola ilia da Nama amane sia: mu, ‘Di da ninia Gode.’”
