Oseas 2
1 Ibagayo kadagiti kakabsatyo a lallaki, 'Dagiti tattaok!' ken kadagiti kakabsatyo a babbai, ''Naipakitan kadakayo ti asi.'''
[At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
2 Idarumyo ti inayo, idarumyo, gapu ta saan nga isuna ti asawak, ken saan met a siak ti asawana. Iwaksina koma ti kinabalangkantisna, ken ti pannakikamalalana iti nagbaetan dagiti susona.
[Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
3 Ta no saan, labusakto isuna ket ipakitak ti kinalamolamona kas iti aldaw a pannakaipasngayna. Pagbalinekto isuna a kas iti let-ang, kas iti namaga a daga, ket papatayekto isuna gapu iti pannakawaw.
If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
4 Diakto kaasian dagiti annakna, gapu ta annak ida ti kinabalangkantis.
I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
5 Ta maysa a balangkantis ti inada, ken nagtignay a nakababain ti nangisikog kadakuada. Kinunana, “Surotekto dagiti kaayan-ayatko, ta ik-ikkandak iti tinapay ken danumko, dagiti pagan-anayko a de lana ken linen, ti lanak ken inumek.”
Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
6 Ngarud, agaladakto kadagiti siit a mangserra iti dalanna. Mangipatakderakto iti pader tapno saanna a masarakan ti dalanna.
So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
7 Surotennanto dagiti kaayan-ayatna, ngem saannanto ida a makamatan. Sapulenna ida ngem saannanto ida a mabirokan. Ket ibagananto, “Agsubliak iti immuna nga asawak, ta nasaysayaat kaniak idi ngem ita.”
They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are now.’
8 Ta saanna nga ammo a siak ti nangted kenkuana iti bukel, ti baro nga arak ken ti lana, ken nangted kenkuana iti aglaplapusanan a pirak ken balitok, nga inusarda a maipaay kenni Baal.
But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship Baal.
9 Isu nga alaekto me laeng dagiti bukelna iti tiempo ti panagaapit, ken ti baro nga arakko iti panawenna. Alaekto met laeng dagiti pagan-anayko a de lana ken linen a nausar a mangabbong iti kinalamolamona.
Therefore I will return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
10 Kalpasanna, labusakto isuna iti sangoanan dagiti kaayan-ayatna, ket awanto ti mangispal kenkuana manipud iti imak.
I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
11 Pagsardengekto pay dagiti amin a panagrambakna— dagiti padayana, dagiti panagrambakna iti baro a bulan, dagiti Aldaw a Panaginanana, ken amin a naituding a fiestana.
I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
12 “Dadaelekto dagiti kaubasanna ken dagiti kayona nga igos, ti nangibagaanna a, “Dagitoy dagiti tangdanko nga inted kaniak dagiti kaayan-ayatko.” Pagbalinekto ida a kabakiran, ken kanento dagitoy dagiti ayup iti tay-ak.
I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
13 Dusaekto isuna gapu kadagiti aldaw a fiesta dagiti Baal, idi nangpuor isuna iti insenso para kadakuada, idi inarkosanna ti bagina kadagiti singsing ken alahasna, ket simmurot isuna kadagiti kaayan-ayatna ket linipatnak.” Daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
14 Isu a magun-odkonto manen isuna. Ipankonto isuna iti let-ang ket agsaoakto a siaalumanay kenkuana.
But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
15 Isublikto kenkuana dagiti kaubasanna, ken ti tanap ti Akor a kas ruangan ti namnama. Sungbatannakto sadiay a kas iti inaramidna idi panawen ti kinaagtutubona, kas kadagiti aldaw a rimmuar isuna iti daga ti Egipto.
I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
16 “Iti daytanto nga aldaw”— daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—”nga awagannakto a, 'Ti asawak,' ket saanakton a pulos nga awagan a, 'Ti Baalko.'
At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
17 Ta ikkatekto dagiti nagan dagiti Baal iti ngiwatna; saanton a pulos a malagip dagiti naganda.”
I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
18 “Iti dayta nga aldaw, makitulagakto kadakuada ken kadagiti narungsot nga ayup iti tay-ak, kasta met kadagiti billit iti tangatang, ken kadagiti amin nga agkarkarayam iti daga. Ikkatekto ti bai, ti kampilan, ken ti gubat iti daga, ket paiddaenkanto iti kinatalged.
At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
19 Ikarik nga agbalinnakto nga asawam iti agnanayon. Ikarik nga agbalinakto nga asawam iti kinalinteg, iti hustisia, iti kinapudno iti tulag, ken iti asi.
I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
20 Ikarik nga agbalinakto nga asawam iti kinapudno. Ket maam-ammonakto, siak a ni Yahweh.
I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
21 Ket iti dayta nga aldaw, sumungbatakto”—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. “Sungbatakto dagiti langit, ket sungbatandanto ti daga.
At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
22 Sungbatanto ti daga ti bukel, ti baro nga arak ken ti lana, ket sungbatandanto ti Jezreel.
and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
23 Imulakto isuna iti daga nga agpaay kaniak, ket kaasiakto ti Lo-ruhama. Ibagakto iti Lo-ammi, 'Dakayo dagiti Ammi-atta,' ket ibagadanto kaniak, 'Sika ti Diosko.”'
[At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
