Hosea 2
1 Ke ma inge, pangon mukul Israel wiowos “Ammi,” ac mutan Israel wiowos, “Ruhamah.”.
“Say to your brothers, ‘You are my people,’ and to your sister, ‘You have obtained mercy.’
2 Tulik nutik, fahla nu yurin nina kiomtal, el finne tila mutan se kiuk ac nga tila mukul tumal. Fahla kwafe sel elan tui liki elahn kosro lal ac moul fohkfok lal.
Judge your mother, judge: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove her fornications from before her face and her adulteries from between her breasts.
3 El fin tiana tui, nga fah selya elan koflufolla oana ke len se el isusla ah. Nga fah oru elan oana sie acn musrasrla ac el fah misa ke malu.
Otherwise, I may expose her nakedness and set her as on the day of her birth, and I may establish her as a wilderness and set her as an impassable land, and I may execute her with thirst.
4 Nga fah tia pakomuta tulik natul, mweyen elos tulik nutin sie mutan kosro.
And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.
5 Mutan sac el sifacna fahk mu, “Nga ac som nu yurin mukul nga orek pwar se — elos se mwe mongo nak ac kof nimuk, unen sheep ac nuknuk linen, oil in olive ac wain.”
For their mother has been fornicating; she who conceived them has been brought to ruin. 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 Ke ma inge, nga ac kalsalak ke kokul, ac etoak sie pot in kosralla.
Because of this, behold, I will fence in your way with thorns, and I will surround it with a wall, and she will not find her paths.
7 El ac kasrusr ukwe mukul el orek pwar nu se tuh el ac fah tia sonolos. El ac fah sokolos tuh el ac fah tia konalosyak. Na el ac fah fahk, “Nga ac folokla nu yurin mukul tumuk ah. Wo nu sik ke pacl se nga muta yorol ah liki na inge.”
And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not obtain them, and she will seek them, but she will not find them, and she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, because it was to some extent better for me then, than it is now.’
8 El ac fah tiana akkalemye lah nga pa kital wheat, wain, oil in olive, ac silver ac gold nukewa ma el alyalukin nu sel Baal.
And she did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and that I increased her silver and gold, which they made into Baal.
9 Ouinge ke pacl in kosrani nga fah folokonma mwe sang luk nu sel ke wheat ac wain, ac nga fah eisla unen sheep ac nuknuk linen ma nga tuh sang elan nukum.
For this reason, I will turn back, and I will take away my grain in its time and my wine in its time, and I will set free my wool and my flax, which had covered her disgrace.
10 Nga fah akkoflufolyal ye mutun mwet el orek pwar yoro, ac wangin sie fah ku in molella liki ku luk.
And now, I will reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.
11 Nga fah oru tuh pacl in engan lal nukewa in wanginla — pwar lal ke yac nukewa, malem nukewa, Sabbath nukewa — aok, toeni in alyalu nukewa lal.
And I will cause all her joy to cease: her solemnities, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her feast dates.
12 Nga fah kunausla ima in grape lal ac sak fig sunal su el fahk mu mukul kawuk lal sang lal. Nga fah ekulla ima in grape lal ac sak sunal tuh in oana yen mwesis. Kosro lemnak uh ac fah kunausla.
And I will corrupt her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, ‘These rewards, they are mine, my lovers have given them to me.’ And I will place her in a narrow forest, and the beasts of the field will devour her.
13 Nga fah kael ke pacl el tuh mulkinyula ac esukak mwe keng nu sel Baal, ac pacl el naweyukla som ukwe mukul kawuk lal. Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
And I will inflict on her the days of the Baals, for whom she burned incense, and ornamented herself with earrings and necklace, and went after her lovers, and forgot about me,” says the Lord.
14 Ouinge nga fah sifil folokunulla nu yen mwesis, ac nga fah kaskas kulang nu sel in akwoye insial.
“Because of this, behold, I will attract her, and I will lead her into the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart.
15 Nga fah folokonang nu sel ima in grape lal meet ah, ac oru tuh Infahlfal in Lokoalok in ekla mutunoa lun finsrak. El fah topukyu we oana el tuh topukyu ke el fusr ac ilme liki facl Egypt.
And I will give to her, from the same place, her vinedressers, and the valley of Achor as a passage of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the days of her ascension from the land of Egypt.
16 Na el fah sifilpa pangon mu nga mukul tumal — el ac fah tia sifilpa pangon mu nga Baal lal.
And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “that she will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and she will no longer call me, ‘My Baal.’
17 Nga fah tiana fuhlela elan sifilpa fahkla ine se inge “Baal.”
And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name.
18 Ke pacl sac, nga fah oru sie wulela yurin kosro lemnak nukewa ac won sohksok uh, elos in tia akkolukye mwet luk. Nga fah oayapa eosla kufwen mwet mweun nukewa liki acn uh — cutlass ac mwe pisr nukewa — ac nga fah oru tuh mwet luk uh in muta in misla ac tia sensen.
And in that day, I will strike a deal with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creatures of the earth. And I will crush the bow and the sword, and I will wipe away war from the earth. And I will let them sleep securely.
19 Israel, nga fah eis kom in mutan kiuk nwe tok; Nga ac fah pwayena ac suwosna nu sum; Nga fah akkalemye pakoten ac lungse kawil luk nu sum.
And I will betroth you to me forever, and I will betroth you to me in justice and judgment, and in mercy and compassion.
20 Nga fah karinganang wulela luk nu sum, Ac kom fah akilen lah pwaye nga pa LEUM GOD.
And I will wed you to me in faith, and you will know that I am the Lord.
21 In pacl sac nga fah topuk pre lun Israel, mwet luk.
And this will happen in that day: I will listen closely,” says the Lord. “I will hear the heavens, and they will hear the earth.
22 Nga fah oru af in kahk nu faclu, Na faclu fah fokkakin wheat, grape ac olive.
And the land will pay attention to the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and these will hear Jezreel.
23 Nga fah oaki mwet luk fin acn uh, ac oru tuh elos in sun wo ouiya. Nga fah pakoten nu selos su ekin “Tia Pakomuteyuk,” Ac nu selos su ekin “Tia Mwet Luk,” Nga fah fahk, “Kowos mwet luk,” Ac elos fah topuk, “Kom God lasr.”
And I will plant her for me in the land, and I will have mercy on her, though she had been called Without Mercy. And I will say to Not My People, ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
