Hosea 14
1 O Israel, return to the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thy iniquity.
| שׁוּבָה יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ כִּי כָשַׁלְתָּ בַּעֲוֺנֶֽךָ׃ |
2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
| קְחוּ עִמָּכֶם דְּבָרִים וְשׁוּבוּ אֶל־יְהוָה אִמְרוּ אֵלָיו כָּל־תִּשָּׂא עָוֺן וְקַח־טוֹב וּֽנְשַׁלְּמָה פָרִים שְׂפָתֵֽינוּ׃ |
3 Ashur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Ye are] our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
| אַשּׁוּר ׀ לֹא יוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ עַל־סוּס לֹא נִרְכָּב וְלֹא־נֹאמַר עוֹד אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ אֲשֶׁר־בְּךָ יְרֻחַם יָתֽוֹם׃ |
4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for my anger is turned away from him.
| אֶרְפָּא מְשׁוּבָתָם אֹהֲבֵם נְדָבָה כִּי שָׁב אַפִּי מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ |
5 I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
| אֶהְיֶה כַטַּל לְיִשְׂרָאֵל יִפְרַח כַּשּֽׁוֹשַׁנָּה וְיַךְ שָׁרָשָׁיו כַּלְּבָנֽוֹן׃ |
6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
| יֵֽלְכוּ יֹֽנְקוֹתָיו וִיהִי כַזַּיִת הוֹדוֹ וְרֵיחַֽ לוֹ כַּלְּבָנֽוֹן׃ |
7 They that dwell under his shade shall return; they shall revive [as] the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent of it [shall be] as the wine of Lebanon.
| יָשֻׁבוּ יֹשְׁבֵי בְצִלּוֹ יְחַיּוּ דָגָן וְיִפְרְחוּ כַגָּפֶן זִכְרוֹ כְּיֵין לְבָנֽוֹן׃ |
8 Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard [him], and observed him: I [am] like a green fir-tree. From me is thy fruit found.
| אֶפְרַיִם מַה־לִּי עוֹד לָֽעֲצַבִּים אֲנִי עָנִיתִי וַאֲשׁוּרֶנּוּ אֲנִי כִּבְרוֹשׁ רַֽעֲנָן מִמֶּנִּי פֶּרְיְךָ נִמְצָֽא׃ |
9 Who [is] wise, and he shall understand these [things]? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD [are] right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them.
| מִי חָכָם וְיָבֵֽן אֵלֶּה נָבוֹן וְיֵֽדָעֵם כִּֽי־יְשָׁרִים דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה וְצַדִּקִים יֵלְכוּ בָם וּפֹשְׁעִים יִכָּשְׁלוּ בָֽם׃ 197 14 4 4 |
