< Hosea 14 >

1 Israeli vahe'mota kumi'tamimo tamazeri tanafa hu'negu tamagu'a rukrahe huta Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofontega eho.
[You people of] Israel, return to Yahweh our God. You are being punished because of the sins which you have committed.
2 Hagi tamagra Ra Anumzamofonte ete rukrahe huta eta kumitamia amanage huta eme huama hiho. Miko kumitia atrenerantenka kasunku hurantenka tavaregeta kagia ahentesga hugantamneno.
So now return to Yahweh and say [MTY] this to him: “Forgive us for all the sins that we have committed, and kindly accept (us/our sacrifices) in order that we may thank/praise you [IDM].
3 Hagi Asiria vahe'mo'za tagura ovazigahaze. Tagra ha' vahe'mo'zama vano nehu'za ha'ma nehaza hosi afu agumpina vano osugosune. Ana nehuta tagra'ama troma hunte'nona zankura ru'enena tagri anumzane huta osugosune. Na'ankure kagrake'za megusa mofavreraminkura kasunkura hunezmantane.
[We admit that] Assyria will not save us, and our war horses will not save us, either. We will never again say, ‘You are our gods’ to [the idols that] we [SYN] have made. You are the one who acts mercifully to orphans.”
4 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagri'ma natreta havi tamavu tamava'ma nehaza zampintira tamavre'na tamazeri so'e hugahue. Na'ankure tamagri'ma narimpama aheneramantoa zamo'a evuramie.
[Yahweh says, “If they say that to me, ] I will forgive them for having (turned away from/abandoned) me, and I will love them with all my inner being, because I [PRS] will have stopped being angry with them.
5 Hagi Israeli vahetera Nagra ata ko'ma eramiaza hanuge'za, lili flauamo amosre ahenteaza nehu'za Lebanoni zaza sida zafamo'ma nehiaza hu'za arafu'nazmia mopafina atre'nageno amefenkame uramigahie.
I will be to the people of Israel like dew [that refreshes the soil]. When I do that, they will [become as delightful as] [MET] lilies are when they are blooming. [No one will be able to conquer them; ] they will be [as unmovable as] [SIM] the roots [of cedar trees].
6 Ana nehu'za olivi zafamofo agatamo'ma tragun tragu huno hageno vuno eno nehiankna nehanageno, mana'zmimo'a Lebanoni zaza sida zafamofo amosremo'ma neviankna mana vugahaze.
[Their good influence will spread] like [MET] the branches of a tree. They will be like [SIM] beautiful olive trees, and [they will be as delightful as] [SIM] the aroma of the cedar [trees in] Lebanon.
7 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ete e'za, Nagri turunapinka mani'neza hoza ante'nageno witi zamimo'a rama'a raga renentenige'za, rama'a hoza vasagegahaze. Zamagra grepimo afova tretre'ma huno hageaza nehanageno, Lebanoni wainimofo agenkemo'ma haruharuma nehiaza huno zamagenkemo'a haruharu hugahie.
People will [come to them to be protected] [like people are protected from the hot sun by being] [MET] in the shade [of a tree]. They [will (flourish/be strong) like] [SIM] grain that grows well. They will [be successful like] a vineyard [in which grapes grow abundantly]. They will become as famous/well-known as [SIM] the wines from Lebanon.
8 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mota, kaza osu havi anumzana mago'enena avako osuta atreho! Nagra nunamu tamirera nona huneramante'na kegava huneramantoe. Nagra saipresi zafagna hu'nogeta, Nagripinti zafa raga neragize.
[You people of] Israel, do not [RHQ] have anything more to do with idols; if you [get rid of your idols], I will answer your [prayers] and take care of you. I am like [MET] a strong/green pine tree, and your blessings come from me.”
9 Hagi knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'za amama nehua nanekea antahi ama' hugahaze. Hagi ama' antahi'zane vahe'mo'za amama nehua nanekea ani' hugahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo avu'ava zamo'a tamage huno fatgo hu'neanki'za, fatgo zamavu zamava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za Agrira nevaririze. Hianagi kumi vahe'mo'za tanafa hu'za traka nehaze.
Those who are wise will understand the things [about which I have written]. Those who think well will pay careful attention to them. The things that Yahweh wants us to do [MET] are right; righteous people will conduct their lives adhering to them. But those who rebel against Yahweh will be ruined.
