Hosea 14
1 Turn back, O Israel, unto Jehovah thy God, For thou hast stumbled by thine iniquity.
Lọghachikwutenụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, unu ndị Izrel; nʼihi na ọ bụ mmehie unu wetaara unu ịsọ ngọngọ.
2 Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah, Say ye unto Him: 'Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we do render the fruit of our lips.
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 Asshur doth not save us, on a horse we ride not, Nor do we say any more, Our God, to the work of our hands, For in Thee find mercy doth the fatherless.'
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 I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.
“Aga m agwọ ndaghachi azụ ha, jiri obi m niile hụ ha nʼanya, nʼihi na iwe m esitela nʼebe ha nọ chigharịa.
5 I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.
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 Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And he hath fragrance as Lebanon.
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 Return do the dwellers under his shadow, They revive [as] corn, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.
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 O Ephraim, what to Me any more with idols? I — I afflicted, and I cause him to sing: 'I [am] as a green fir-tree,' From Me is thy fruit found.
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] wise, and doth understand these? Prudent, and knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!
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.
