Hosiya 2
1 “Gwa ụmụnne gị ndị nwoke Ami, ‘nke pụtara ndị m,’ gwakwa ụmụnne gị nwanyị Ruhama, nke pụtara, ‘Unu ndị m hụrụ nʼanya.’
Say ye to your brothers, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 “Unu guzogidenụ nne unu, rịọọnụ ya, nʼihi na ọ bụghị nwunye m, mụ onwe m abụkwaghị di ya. Gwanụ ya ka o wezuga ịkwa iko site nʼihu ya, ya wezugakwa ịgba akwụna nke dị nʼetiti ara ya abụọ.
Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, nor am I her husband. And let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,
3 Ma ọ bụghị otu a, aga m eyipụ ya uwe ya mee ka ọ gbara ọtọ, aga m eme ka o gbara ọtọ dị ka nʼụbọchị ahụ a mụrụ ya. Aga m eme ya ka ọ dị ka ọzara, ka ọ ghọọ nʼala kpọrọ nkụ, were akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ mee ka ọ nwụọ.
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.
4 Agaghị m egosi ụmụ ya ebere m, nʼihi na ha bụ ụmụ a kwatara nʼiko.
Yea, I will have no mercy upon her sons, for they are sons of whoredom,
5 Nʼihi na nne ha bụ onye na-akwa iko, ọ tụrụ ime ha nʼọnọdụ ihere. Site nʼikwu sị, ‘Aghaghị m ịgbakwuru ndị enyi nwoke hụrụ m nʼanya, ndị na-enye m nri na mmiri, ajị anụ m na akwa ọcha m, mmanụ oliv m na ihe ọṅụṅụ m.’
for their mother has played the harlot. She who conceived them has done shamefully, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
6 Nʼihi nke a, aga m eji ogwu na uke gbachie ya gburugburu; aga m agbachi ụzọ ya, mee ya ka ọ ghara ịma ebe ọ na-eje.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
7 Ọ ga-agbaso ndị ahụ hụrụ ya nʼanya ma ọ gaghị achụkwute ha. Ọ ga-achọ ha ma ọ gaghị ahụ ha. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-asị, ‘Ka m gaa laghachikwuru di mbụ m, nʼihi na ọ dịrị m mma mgbe ahụ karịa ugbu a.’
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them. And she shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better with me then than now.
8 Ma ọ kwetaghị na ihe ndị a si nʼaka m, na ọ bụ mụ nyere ya ọka, na mmanya ọhụrụ, na mmanụ oliv, na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo ndị ahụ niile nke o ji na-efe Baal.
For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
9 “Ya mere, aga m ewerekwa ọka m mgbe ọ chara, na mmanya ọhụrụ m mgbe oge ya ruru. Aga m anapụkwa ya akwa ajị anụ m na akwa ọcha m, nke ekwesiri iji kpuchie ọtọ ya.
Therefore I will take back my grain in the time of it, and my new wine in the season of it, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Ugbu a, aga m ekpughe ọtọ ya nʼihu ndị ahụ na-ahụ ya nʼanya, ọ dịkwaghị onye nwere ike ịnapụta ya site nʼaka m.
And now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 Aga m eme ka obi ụtọ ya kwụsị; ọ bụladị mmemme nke afọ niile, mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ, nke ụbọchị izuike na mmemme ndị ọzọ ahụ niile a kara aka.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 Aga m ala ubi vaịnị ya na osisi fiig ya niile nʼiyi, nke ọ sịrị bụ ụgwọ ọrụ ya site nʼaka ndị hụrụ ya nʼanya; aga m emekwa ka ha ghọọ oke ọhịa, anụ ọhịa ga-eripịa ha.
And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 Aga m enye ya ahụhụ maka ụbọchị niile bụ nke o surere ihe na-esi isi ụtọ nye chi Baal niile, ọ chịrị mgbaaka mkpịsịaka na ihe ịchọ mma niile, jikere onwe ya, pụọ chụso ndị ahụ hụrụ ya nʼanya, ma chezọọ m,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says Jehovah.
14 “Nʼihi nke a, aga m arara ya, duba ya nʼime ọzara, jiri olu dị nro gwa ya okwu nʼebe ahụ.
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak soothingly to her.
15 Ebe ahụ ka m ga-enyeghachi ya ubi vaịnị ya, gbanweekwa Ndagwurugwu Akọ, mee ka ọ ghọọ ọnụ ụzọ olileanya. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-azakwa m dịka o mere mgbe ọ bụ agbọghọbịa, nʼoge ahụ o si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Ị ga-akpọ m ‘Di m,’ ị gaghị akpọkwa m ‘nna m ukwu,’ ọzọ.
And it shall be at that day, says Jehovah, that thou shall call me Ishi, and shall no more call me Baali.
17 Nʼihi na aga m ewepụkwa aha niile nke arụsị Baal nʼegbugbere ọnụ ya, ha gaghị akpọkwa ha aha ọzọ.
For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
18 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m eme ka gị na ụmụ anụ ọhịa gbaa ndụ, meekwa ka gị na ụmụ nnụnụ, na ihe niile e kere eke nʼakpụgharị nʼala gbaa ndụ. Aga m emebi ngwa agha niile, agha niile ga-akwụsịkwa. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-eme ka ị dịnaa ala nʼudo na-enweghị nsogbu, na ụjọ.
And in that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 Aga m ekwerekwa ịlụ gị dịka nwunye ruo ebighị ebi; aga m ekwerekwa ịlụ gị nʼezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi, nʼịhụnanya nke na-adịgide, nakwa obi ebere.
And I will betroth thee to me forever. Yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.
20 Aga m eji ikwesi ntụkwasị obi kwere ịlụ gị. Ị ga-amatakwa Onyenwe anyị.
I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness, and thou shall know Jehovah.
21 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ m ga-azaghachi,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. “M ga-azaghachi eluigwe, ha ga-azaghachi ala.
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah. I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth,
22 Ala ga-azaghachi ọka na mmanya ọhụrụ na mmanụ oliv, mgbe ahụ ha ga-azaghachi Jezril.
and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel.
23 Aga m akụkwa ya nye onwe m nʼala ahụ dịka mkpụrụ. Aga m egosi ịhụnanya m nʼahụ onye ahụ m kpọrọ, ‘Onye m na-ahụghị nʼanya.’ M ga-asịkwa ndị ahụ a kpọrọ, ‘Ndị na-abụghị ndị m,’ ‘Unu bụ ndị nke m,’ Ha ga-azakwa, ‘Chineke m ka ị bụ.’”
And I will sow her to me in the earth. And I will have mercy upon her who had not obtained mercy. And I will say to those who were not my people, Thou are my people, and they shall say, My God.
