Oseas 14
1 Israel, agsublika kenni Yahweh a Diosmo, ta natnagka gapu kadagiti basbasolmo.
Return, Israel, to the Lord your God, because your sins have brought you down.
2 Iyebkasyo ti panagbabawiyo kadagiti basbasolyo ket agsublikayo kenni Yahweh. Ibagayo kenkuana, “Pakawanennakami kadagiti amin a basbasolmi ken awatennakami nga addaan ti pabor, tapno maidatonmi kenka ti pammadayawmi, dagiti sasao ken dagiti kantami a pagdayaw.
Take words like these with you and come back to the Lord, saying to him, “Please take away all our guilt, accept what is good, and we will repay you with praise from our lips.
3 Saannakaminto nga isalakan ti Asiria; saankaminto nga agsakay kadagiti kabalio tapno makigubat. Saanminton nga ibaga ti aramid dagiti imami, 'Dakayo dagiti diosmi,' ta sika ti pakasarakan dagiti ulila iti asi.”
Assyria can't save us; we will not ride our warhorses; we will never again say ‘You are our gods’ to the idols we have made. For in you orphans find mercy.”
4 ”Paimbagekto ida no agsublida kaniak kalpasan a tinallikodandak; ayatekto ida a siwayawaya, ta bimmaawen ti pungtotko iti Israel.
I will heal their unfaithfulness; I will love them freely, for I'm not angry with them any more.
5 Maiyarigakto iti linnaaw iti Israel; agsabongto a kas iti lirio ken agramutto a kas iti kayo a sedro iti Libano.
I will be like the dew to Israel, they will blossom like lilies, they will send down roots like the cedars of Lebanon.
6 Rumangpayanto dagiti sangana; ti kinapintasna ket kaslanto kadagiti kayo ti olibo, ken ti banglona ket kas kadagiti sedro iti Libano.
They shall send out new shoots, their splendor will be like the olive tree, their scent will be like the cedars of Lebanon.
7 Agsublinto dagiti tattao nga agnaed iti salinongna; lumangtodanto a kas iti trigo ken agsabongda a kas kadagiti pinuon ti ubas. Maiyarigto ti kinalatakna iti arak ti Libano.
Those who live under their shade shall return, they will flourish like grain, they will blossom like the vine, and they will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ibaganto ti Efraim, 'Ania pay la ti aramidek kadagiti didiosen?' Sungbatak ken aywanakto isuna. Maiyarigak iti saleng a kanayon a nalangto dagiti bulbulongna; siak ti pagtataudan dagiti bungayo.”
Ephraim, how much more do I have to warn you about idols? I have answered and now I am watching. I am like a tree that is evergreen; your fruit is found in me.
9 Siasino ti masirib a makaawat kadagitoy a banbanag? Siasino ti makaaawat kadagitoy tapno maammoanna dagitoy? Ta nalinteg dagiti wagas ni Yahweh, dagitoy ket suroten dagiti nalinteg, ngem maitibkolto kadagitoy dagiti nasukir.
Who is wise to understand these things? Who has discernment in understanding them? The Lord's paths are right—the good follow them, but rebels trip and fall along the way.
