Hosea 2
1 Say to your brothers, 'My people!' and to your sisters, 'You have been shown compassion.'”
“Luonguru oweteu ni ‘Joga,’ kendo luonguru nyimineu ni ‘Joma ahero.’”
2 Bring a lawsuit against your mother, bring a lawsuit, for she is not my wife, and neither am I her husband. Let her put away her prostitution from before herself, and her acts of adultery from between her breasts.
“Kwer minu, kwere, nikech ok en jaoda, kendo ok an chwore. Onego owe wangʼ maneno mar chode kendo gi yorene mag dwanyruok.
3 If not, I will strip her naked and show her nakedness as on the day that she was born. I will make her like the wilderness, like a parched land, and I will make her die from thirst.
Ka ok kamano to abiro lonye duk modongʼ kaka ne onywole; anakete ochal kaka lop ongoro, analoke kaka lowo motwo mobaro okak, kendo ananege kod riyo mar pi.
4 I will not have any mercy on her children, for they are children of prostitution.
Ok anaher nyithinde, nikech gin nyithindo mane oyud e yor chode.
5 For their mother has been a prostitute, and she who conceived them has acted shamefully. She said, “I will go after my lovers, for they give me my bread and water, my wool and flax, my oil and drink.”
Min-gi ok osebedo ja-ratiro kendo osemako ich gi anjawo. Owacho ni, ‘Abiro luwo bangʼ joherana, mamiya chiemba kod piga, yie rombe gi pamba michweyogo lewni, mo kod math.’
6 Therefore I will build up a hedge to block her way with thorns. I will build up a wall against her so she cannot find her way.
Omiyo anagengʼ yore kod bungu maduongʼ mar kudho; abiro dinone chuth ma ok noyud yo mowuok godo oko.
7 She will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them. She will seek them, but she will not find them. Then she will say, “I will return to my first husband, for it was better for me then than it is now.”
Enolaw bangʼ jochodenego to ok nomakgi; enomanygi to ok noyudgi. Bangʼe to enowachi niya, Abiro dokne chwora mokwongo, nimar ndalono ne awinjo maber moloyo sani.
8 For she had not known that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil, and who lavished on her silver and gold, which they then used for Baal.
Ok osengʼeyo adier ni an ema ne amiye cham, divai manyien kod mo, an bende ema ne adhiale gi fedha gi dhahabu mangʼenygo mane gitiyo nego Baal.
9 So I will take back her grain at harvest time, and my new wine in its season. I will take back my wool and flax that were used to cover her nakedness.
“Kuom mano abiro kawo chamba ka osechiek, gi divaina manyien ka oseikore. Bende anakaw yie rombona gi pambana mitwangʼo godo lewni mane onego oum-go duge.
10 Then I will strip her naked in the sight of her lovers, and no one will rescue her out of my hand.
Koro abiro nyiso ayanga gombo mare mar chode e lela e nyim joherane; kendo onge ngʼama nogole e lweta.
11 I will also cause all her celebrations to cease— her feasts, her new moon celebrations, her Sabbaths, and all her appointed festivals.
Nyasi duto ma en-go anakethi: nyasi mar higa ka higa, mar dwe ka dwe, mar Sabato kod nyasi motimo juma ka juma.
12 “I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, 'These are the wages that my lovers gave me.' I will make them a forest, and the animals of the field will eat them.
Anaketh yiendene mag mzabibu gi yiend ngʼopene mane owacho ni ne chudone moa kuom joherane. Abiro ketogi bunge, kendo le mag bungu nokethgi.”
13 I will punish her for the feast days of the Baals, when she burned incense to them, when she adorned herself with her rings and jewelry, and she went after her lovers and forgot me— this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Anakume kuom ndalo duto mane owangʼo ubani ne Baal; korwakore gi gik mabeyo ahinya kolombogo joherane, to an ne wiye owil koda.
14 So I am going to win her back. I will bring her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.
“Kuom mano abiro hoye, mi adhi kode e piny motimo ongoro, kendo abiro wuoyo kode gi muolo.
15 I will give her back her vineyards, and the Valley of Achor as a door of hope. She will answer me there as she did in the days of her youth, as in the days that she came out of the land of Egypt.
Kanyo abiro dwokone puothe mar mzabibu, Kendo analos holo mar Akor obed dhood geno. Kanyo nowerie mana kaka nower kapod otin, mana ka chiengʼ mane owuok koa Misri.”
16 “It will be in that day—this is Yahweh's declaration— that you will call me, 'My husband,' and you will no longer call me, 'My Baal.'
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Odiechiengʼno iniluonga ni ‘chwora,’ to ok inichak iluonga ni ‘jatenda.’
17 For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth; their names will not be remembered anymore.”
Abiro golo nyinge mag Baal oa e dhoge. Nying Baal ok nochak owuo kuomgi kendo.
18 “On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts in the fields, with the birds in the sky, and with the crawling things on the ground. I will drive away the bow, the sword, and the battle from the land, and I will make you lie down in safety.
Chiengʼno anaketnegi singruok e kindgi gi le mag thim gi winy manie kor polo, gi chwech mamol e lowo, atungʼ gi ligangla to abiro turo, kendo lweny bende anatiek e piny, mondo gik moko duto obed gi kwe.
19 I will promise to be your husband forever. I will promise to be your husband in righteousness, justice, covenant faithfulness, and mercy.
Abiro timo kodi singruok mar kend mondo ibed mara chuth; abiro timo kodi singruok mar kend e yo maler kendo maratiro, gihera kod kech.
20 I will pledge myself to you in faithfulness, and you will know Yahweh.
Abiro timo kodi singruok mar kend e yo mar adiera, kendo ibiro yie kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
21 On that day, I will answer—this is Yahweh's declaration— I will answer the heavens, and they will answer the earth.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E odiechiengno abiro dwoko kwayou ma boche polo, nochiw koth ne piny,
22 The earth will answer the grain, the new wine and the oil, and they will answer Jezreel.
kendo cham biro nyak e piny, kaachiel gi divai manyien kod mo zeituni, mi giduto ginyag Jezreel.
23 I will plant her for myself in the land, and I will have mercy on Lo-Ruhamah. I will say to Lo-Ammi, 'You are Ammi Attah,' and they will say to me, 'You are my God.'”
Abiro pidhe e piny ne an awuon; abiro nyiso herana ni ngʼat mane aluongo ni ‘Ok jaherana.’ Anawach ni joma iluongo ni, ‘Joma ok joga,’ ni, ‘Un joga’; kendo ginidwoka ni, ‘In Nyasachwa.’”
