होशे 14
1 ए इस्राएल, परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरकहाँ फर्क, किनकि आफ्ना अपराधको कारणले तिमीहरू पतित भएका छौ ।
[You people of] Israel, return to Yahweh our God. You are being punished because of the sins which you have committed.
2 आफ्नो साथमा वचन लेओ र परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्क । उहाँलाई भन, “हाम्रा सबै अपराध क्षमा गर्नुहोस् र जे असल छ त्यो ग्रहण गर्नुहोस्, ताकि तपाईंलाई हामी आफ्ना ओठको फल चढाउन सकौं ।
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 अश्शूरले हामीलाई बचाउनेछैन । हामी युद्ध गर्नलाई घोडाहरूमा सवार हुनेछैनौं । न त आफ्ना हातले बनाएका कुरालाई हामी यसो भन्नेछौं, ‘तपाईं हाम्रा देवता हुनुहुन्छ,’ किनकि तपाईंमा नै टुहुरोले दया पाउँछ ।”
[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 “तिनीहरू तर्केका भए पनि म निको पार्नेछु, म तिनीहरूलाई सित्तैंमा प्रेम गर्नेछु, किनकि त्यसप्रतिको मेरो रिस मरेको छ ।
[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 इस्राएलको निम्ति म शीतझैं हुनेछु । लिली फूलझैं त्यो फुल्नेछ र लेबनानको देवदारुझैं त्यसले जरा गाड्नेछ ।
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 त्यसका हाँगाहरू फैलिनेछन् । त्यसको सुन्दरता जैतूनको रूखझैं हुनेछ, र त्यसको सुगन्ध लेबनानको देवदारुझैं हुनेछ ।
[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 त्यसको छहारीमा बस्ने मानिसहरू फर्कनेछन् । तिनीहरू अन्नझैं बढ्नेछन् र दाखको बोटझैं फुल्नेछन् । त्यसको ख्याति लेबनानको दाखमद्यझैं हुनेछ ।
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 ए एफ्राइम, मूर्तिहरूसँग मेरो अरू के काम छ? म त्यसलाई जवाफ दिनेछु र त्यसको वास्ता गर्नेछु । म सल्लोको रूखझैं हुँ, जसका पातहरू सधैं हरिया हुन्छन्, र मबाट नै तेरो फल आउँछ ।”
[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 को बुद्धिमान छ, जसले यी कुराहरू बुझ्न सक्छ? कसले कुराहरू बुझ्छ जसले गर्दा उसले ती जान्न सक्छ? किनकि परमप्रभुका मार्गहरू ठिक हुन्छन्, र धर्मीचाहिं तिनमा हिँड्छन्, तर विद्रोह गर्नेहरूचाहिं तिनमा ठेस खानेछन् ।
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.
