Hosea 2
1 Say ye to your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
“Obboloota keessaniin, ‘Saba koo’ obboleettota keessaniin immoo, ‘Jaallatamtuu koo’ jedhaa.
2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she [is] not my wife, neither [am] I her husband: let her therefore put away her prostitutions out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
“Haadha keessanitti dheekkamaa; isheetti dheekkamaa; isheen niitii koo mitiitii; anis dhirsa ishee miti. Isheen fuula ishee irraa ilaalcha ejjummaa haa balleessitu; amanamummaa dhabuus harma ishee gidduudhaa haa balleessitu.
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
Yoo kanaa achii ani wayyaa ishee irraa baasee akkuma guyyaa isheen dhalatte sanaa qullaa ishee nan hambisaa; akkuma gammoojjii ishee nan godha; lafa goggogaatti ishee nan geeddara; dheebuudhaanis ishee nan ajjeesa.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they [are] the children of lewdness.
Isaan ijoollee ejjummaa waan taʼaniif, ani ijoollee isheetiif garaa hin laafu.
5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
Haati isaanii amanamummaa dhabdee karaa salphinaatiin isaan ulfoofte. Isheen, ‘Ani warra na jaallatu, warra nyaata koo fi bishaan koo, warra suufii koo fi wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, warra dibataa fi dhugaatii koo naaf kennan duukaa nan buʼa’ jette.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
Kanaafuu ani haafa qoraattiitiin daandii ishee nan cufa; akka isheen karaa ittiin baatu hin arganneef dallaa itti nan ijaara.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find [them]: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then [was it] better with me than now.
Isheen michoota ishee duukaa buuti; garuu isaan hin qaqqabdu; isaan barbaaddi; garuu hin argitu. Ergasii isheen, ‘Ani akkuma duraa gara dhirsa kootti nan deebiʼa; amma caalaa yeroo sana wayya tureetii’ jetti.
8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Baal.
Isheen akka ani midhaan, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitii isheedhaaf kenne, meetii fi warqee isaan Baʼaaliif dhiʼeessanis kan ishee irratti dhangalaase anuma akka taʼe hin beekne.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will recover my wool and my flax [given] to cover her nakedness.
“Kanaafuu ani yeroo inni bilchaatutti midhaan koo, daadhii wayinii koo haaraa illee yeroo inni qophaaʼutti irraa nan fudhadha. Ani suufii koo fi wayyaa koo kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame kanan qullaa ishee dhoksuudhaaf kenneefis amma ishee irraa nan fudhadha.
10 And now will I disclose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
Ani amma ijuma michoota ishee duratti addaggummaa ishee nan saaxila; namni tokko iyyuu harka koo keessaa ishee hin baasu.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
Ani ayyaana ishee hunda jechuunis, ayyaana ishee kan waggaa, ayyaana ishee kan gaafa baatii haaraa, ayyaana ishee kan Sanbataatii fi ayyaanota ishee kanneen murtaaʼan hunda nan hambisa.
12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig-trees, of which she hath said, These [are] my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Ani muka wayinii isheetii fi muka harbuu ishee kan isheen michoota kootu naaf kenne jettu sana nan barbadeessa. Ani daggala isaan nan godha; bineensi bosonaa isaan dheeda.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, in which she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the LORD.
Ani guyyoota isheen itti Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsite sanaaf ishee nan adaba; isheen qubeelaa fi faaya garaa garaatiin of miidhagsitee michoota ishee duukaa butee na irraanfatte” jedha Waaqayyo.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her.
“Kanaafuu ani amma ishee nan sossoba; gara lafa gammoojjiitti ishee geessee jaalalaan itti nan dubbadha.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came from the land of Egypt.
Ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii ishee deebisee nan kennaaf; Sulula Aakooris balbala abdii nan godha. Isheen achitti akkuma gaafa shamarrummaa isheetti, akkuma gaafa biyya Gibxii baateetti sirbiti.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, [that] thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
“Ati gaafa sana” jedha Waaqayyo; “‘Dhirsa koo’ jettee na waamta; ati lammata deebitee, ‘Gooftaa koo’ naan hin jettu.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Ani maqaawwan Baʼaal afaan isheetii nan balleessa; maqaan isaanii lammata hin dhaʼamu.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and [with] the creeping animals of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down in safety.
Ani gaafas bineensa bosonaatii fi simbirroota samii wajjin, uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan wajjin isaaniif kakuu nan gala. Ani akka isin nagaadhaan bultaniif xiyya, goraadee fi waraana lafa irraa nan balleessa.
19 And I will betroth thee to me for ever; yes, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies.
Ani bara baraan ofii kootiif sin kaadhimadha; ani qajeelummaa fi dhugaadhaan jaalalaa fi gara laafinaan sin kaadhimadha.
20 I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
Ani amanamummaadhaan sin kaadhimadha; atis Waaqayyoon ni beekta.”
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani gaafas deebii siif nan kenna; ani samiif deebii nan kenna; samiinis lafaaf deebii ni kenna;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
laftis midhaaniif, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiif deebii kenniti; isaanis Yizriʼeeliif deebii kennu.
23 And I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [them who were] not my people, Thou [art] my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.
Ani ofii kootiif lafa irra ishee nan dhaabbadha; ani kanan, ‘Ati jaalallee koo miti’ jedheen sana nan jaalladha. Ani warra, ‘Isin saba koo miti’ jedhaman sanaan, ‘Isin saba koo ti’ nan jedha; isaanis, ‘Ati Waaqa koo ti’ naan jedhu.”
