1 Israel, return to the LORD your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.
Yípadà ìwọ Israẹli sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ ló fa ìparun rẹ!
2 Take words with you, and return to the LORD. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good; so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.
Ẹ gba ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa gbọ́, kí ẹ sì yípadà sí Olúwa. Ẹ sọ fún un pé, “Darí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa jì wá kí o sì fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ gbà wá, kí àwa kí ó lè fi ètè wa sán an fún ọ
3 Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”

4 “I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
“Èmi wo àgàbàgebè wọn sàn, Èmi ó sì fẹ́ràn wọn, lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́, nítorí ìbínú mi ti yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.
Èmi o dàbí ìrì sí Israẹli, wọn o sì yọ ìtànná bi ewéko lílì. Bi kedari ti Lebanoni yóò si ta gbòǹgbò.

8 Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is found.”

9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
