Hosea 14
1 Mwet Israel, foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD lowos. Ma koluk lowos oru kowos in tukulkul ac ikori.
Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.
2 Foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD, ac oru tuh pre se inge in mwe kisa lowos nu sel: “Sisla ma koluk lasr ac porongo pre lasr, ac kut fah kaksakin kom oana ke kut tuh wulela nu sum kac.
Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that you may not receive [the reward of] unrighteousness, but that you may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit of our lips.
3 Tuh Assyria tia ku in molikutla, ac horse in mweun tia pac ku in loangekut. Kut fah tiana sifilpa fahk nu ke ma sruloala lasr mu elos god lasr. O LEUM GOD, kom fahkak pakoten nu sin mwet mukaimtal!”
Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in you shall pity the orphan.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah folokonma mwet luk nu yuruk. Nga fah lungse elos ke insiuk nufon; Nga tia sifilpa mulat selos.
I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him.
5 Nga fah oana af yen pao Nu sin mwet Israel. Elos ac farengelik oana ros; Elos ac okahla arulana ku, Oana sak in acn Lebanon.
I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.
6 Elos fah moulyak ke srun sasu Ac kato oana sak olive. Elos ac fah fo loslos Oana sak cedar in acn Lebanon.
His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.
7 Elos ac sifilpa muta ye karinginyuk luk. Elos fah taknelik fiten wheat, Ac fahko kac ac fah pus oana ima in grape. Elos ac fah pwengpeng oana wain in acn Lebanon.
They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus.
8 Mwet Israel ac fah tia sifil alu nu ke ma sruloala. Nga ac fah topuk pre lalos ac karinganulos. Nga fah sonolosi oana soko sak folfol insroa, Mwe insewowo lalos nukewa fah tuku yuruk me.”
What [has] he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is your fruit found.
9 Lela elos su lalmwetmet in kalem ke ma simla inge, ac in filiya in oan insialos. Inkanek lun LEUM GOD suwohs, ac mwet suwoswos elos moul ke sripen elos fahsr kac, a mwet orekma koluk elos tukulkul ac ikori mweyen elos tia fahsr kac.
Who is wise, and will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.
