Hosea 14
1 Turn back, O Israel, unto Jehovah thy God, For thou hast stumbled by thine iniquity.
Yípadà ìwọ Israẹli sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ ló fa ìparun rẹ!
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.
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 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.'

4 I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.

5 I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.
Èmi o dàbí ìrì sí Israẹli, wọn o sì yọ ìtànná bi ewéko lílì. Bi kedari ti Lebanoni yóò si ta gbòǹgbò.
6 Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And he hath fragrance as Lebanon.

7 Return do the dwellers under his shadow, They revive [as] corn, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.

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.
Ìwọ Efraimu, kín ló tún kù tí mo ní ṣe pẹ̀lú ère òrìṣà? Èmi ó dá a lóhùn, èmi ó sì ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ. Mo dàbí igi junifa tó ń fi gbogbo ìgbà tutù, èso tí ìwọ ń so si ń wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
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!
Ta ni ọlọ́gbọ́n? Òun yóò mòye àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí. Ta a ní ó mọ̀? Òun yóò ní ìmọ̀ wọn. Títọ́ ni ọ̀nà Olúwa àwọn olódodo si ń rìn nínú wọn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́tẹ̀ ni yóò kọsẹ̀ nínú wọn.
