< Hosea 14 >

1 Ry Israele, mimpolia mb’am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; fa nampihotrake azo o hakeo’oo.
Israel, return to the LORD your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.
2 Andeso saontsy, le mibaliha mb’am’Iehovà: ano ty hoe: Fonga afaho o hakeoo, rambeso an-kasoa, vaho hengae’ay ty banian-tsoñi’ay.
Take words with you, and return to the LORD. Tell him, "Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good, and we will offer the fruit of our lips.
3 Tsy haharombak’ anay t’i Asore; izahay tsy hiningitse an-tsoavala, le tsy hanao ty hoe amo sata-pità’aio: Ry ndrahare’ay. Fa ama’o ty hahaoniña’ ty bode-rae fiferenaiñañe.
Assyria can't save us. We won't ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, 'Our gods.' for in you the fatherless finds mercy."
4 Ho jangañeko ty fidisa-voli’ iareo; hikokoako an-tsatrin-tro, fa mitolike ty habosehako.
"I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from him.
5 Hanahake ty zono am’ Israele iraho; ie hidorenake hoe antake mandriake, vaho hirifondrifoñe hoe Libanone.
I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.
6 Handrevake o ra’eo, naho hanahake ty andramahe ty enge’e, vaho hoe Libanone ty harifondrifo’e.
His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 Himpoly iaby o mialok’ ama’eo; ho tolorañ’ aiñe manahake i ampembay, le hiraorao hoe vahe, vaho handrifondrifoñe hoe ty hamañiran-divai’ i Libanone.
They will return and dwell in his shade. They will live and be abundantly satisfied with grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Le hanao ty hoe t’i Efraime: Hanoeko inoñe ka o samposampoo? Fa nitsanoñeko naho nijiloveko, Manahake ty kile maindoñe ama’o iraho, amako ty aharendreha’o voa.
Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green fir tree; from me your fruit is found."
9 Ee te hahafohiñe o raha zao ty mahihitse, naho haharendreke o mahilalao. Amy te vantañe o lala’ Iehovào, ie orihe’ o vañoñeo, fe itsikapia’ o miolao.
Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.
