< Hosea 14 >
1 Israel, be thou conuertid to thi Lord God, for thou fellist doun in thi wickidnesse.
Lọghachikwutenụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, unu ndị Izrel; nʼihi na ọ bụ mmehie unu wetaara unu ịsọ ngọngọ.
2 Take ye wordis with you, and be ye conuertid to the Lord; and seie ye to hym, Do thou awei al wickidnesse, and take thou good; and we schulen yelde the caluys of oure lippis.
Chịrịnụ okwu nʼọnụ unu lọghachikwute Onyenwe anyị. Gwanụ ya sị, “Gbaghara mmehie anyị niile, jirikwa ihuọma nabata anyị, ka anyị si otu a jiri egbugbere ọnụ anyị chụọrọ gị aja.
3 Assur schal not saue vs, we schulen not stie on hors; and we schulen no more seie, Oure goddis ben the werkis of oure hondis; for thou schalt haue merci on that modirles child, which is in thee.
Ndị Asịrịa enweghị ike ịzọpụta anyị, ọ bụghị nʼelu ịnyịnya agha ka anyị ga-anọkwasị. Anyị agaghị asịkwa ‘Chi anyị ka unu bụ’ nye ihe ndị ahụ anyị jiri aka anyị pịa, nʼihi na nʼime gị, ka ndị na-enweghị nne na nna na-achọta obi ebere.”
4 Y schal make hool the sorewis of hem; Y schal loue hem wilfuli, for my strong veniaunce is turned awei fro hem.
“Aga m agwọ ndaghachi azụ ha, jiri obi m niile hụ ha nʼanya, nʼihi na iwe m esitela nʼebe ha nọ chigharịa.
5 Y schal be as a dew, and Israel schal buriowne as a lilie. And the root therof schal breke out as of the Liban;
Aga m adịrị Izrel dịka igirigi. Ọ ga-amakwa ifuru dịka okoko lili. Dịka osisi sida nke Lebanọn, mgbọrọgwụ ya ga-abami nʼime ala;
6 the braunchis therof schulen go. And the glorye therof schal be as an olyue tree, and the odour therof schal be as of the Liban.
ome ya ga-awasa, ịma mma ya ga-adịkwa ka osisi oliv, isisi ọma ọ na-esi ga-adị ka isi osisi sida nke Lebanọn.
7 Thei schulen be conuertid, and sitte in the schadewe of hym; thei schulen lyue bi wheete, and schulen buriowne as a vyne. The memorial therof schal be as the wyne of Liban.
Ha ga-ebi nʼokpuru ndo m. Ha ga-etolite dịka osisi ọka dị ndụ. Ha ga-ama ifuru dịka osisi ubi vaịnị, a ga-amatakwa ha nʼebe niile dịka e si mara mmanya e mere na Lebanọn.
8 Effraym, what schulen idols do more to me? Y schal here him, and Y schal dresse him as a greene fir tree. Thi fruit is foundun of me.
Gị Ifrem, gịnị ka mụ na arụsị nwekọrọ? Mụ onwe m ga-aza ya, ma lekọtakwa ya. Mụ onwe m dịkwa ka osisi junipa dị ndụ. Ịmị mkpụrụ gị na-esitekwa nʼebe m nọ abịa.”
9 Who is wijs, and schal vndurstonde these thingis? who is vndurstondyng, and schal kunne these thingis? For the weies of the Lord ben riytful, and iust men schulen go in tho; but trespassours schulen falle in tho.
Onye bụ onye amamihe? Ha ga-aghọta ihe ndị a. Onye bụ onye nwere uche nghọta? Ha ga-aghọta ihe ọ pụtara. Nʼihi na ụzọ Onyenwe anyị bụ ezi ụzọ. Ndị ezi omume na-ejekwa ije na ha, ma ndị na-enupu isi na-asọ ngọngọ nʼime ha.
