Hooseʼaa 14
1 Yaa Israaʼel, gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiitti deebiʼi. Ati sababii cubbuu keetiitiif gufatteetii!
O Israel, returne vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen by thine iniquitie.
2 Dubbicha fudhadhuutii gara Waaqayyoo deebiʼi. Akkanas jedhiin: “Cubbuu keenya hunda nuuf dhiisi; akka nu ija arraba keenyaa siif dhiʼeessinuuf, arjummaadhaan nu simadhu.
Take vnto you words, and turne to the Lord, and say vnto him, Take away all iniquitie, and receiue vs graciously: so wil we render the calues of our lippes.
3 Asoor nu oolchuu hin dandaʼu; nu fardeen lolaa hin yaabbannu. Nu siʼachi deebinee, waan harki keenya hojjeteen, ‘Waaqota keenya’ hin jennu; daaʼimman abbaa hin qabne gara laafina sirraa argatuutii.”
Asshur shall not saue vs, neither wil we ride vpon horses, neither will we say any more to the worke of our handes, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherlesse findeth mercie.
4 “Ani gantummaa isaanii nan fayyisa, toluman isaan jaalladha; aariin koo isaan irraa deebiʼeeraatii.
I wil heale their rebellion: I wil loue them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
5 Ani Israaʼelitti akkuma fixeensaa nan taʼa; inni akkuma daraaraa ni daraara. Inni akkuma gaattiraa Libaanoon hidda isaa gad fageeffata;
I will be as the dewe vnto Israel: he shall grow as the lilie and fasten his rootes, as the trees of Lebanon.
6 dameen isaa ni guddata. Miidhaginni isaa akkuma muka ejersaa taʼa; urgaan isaa akkuma gaattiraa Libaanoon.
His branches shall spread, and his beautie shalbe as the oliue tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7 Namoonni ammas deebiʼanii gaaddisa isaa jala jiraatu. Inni akkuma midhaanii lalisa. Akkuma muka wayinii dagaaga; maqaan isaas akkuma daadhii wayinii Libaanoon beekama.
They that dwel vnder his shadow, shall returne: they shall reuiue as the corne, and florish as the vine: the sent thereof shalbe as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Yaa Efreem, ani kana caalaa waaqota tolfamoo wajjin dhimma maaliin qaba? Kan deebii siif kennee si eegu anuma. Ani akkuma muka birbirsa lalisaa ti; amanamummaan kee ana irraa dhufa.”
Ephraim shall say, What haue I to doe any more with idoles? I haue heard him, and looked vpon him: I am like a greene firre tree: vpon me is thy fruite founde.
9 Namni ogeessi eenyu? Inni waan kana ni beeka. Qalbii qabeessi eenyu? Inni waan kana ni hubata. Karaan Waaqayyoo qajeelaa dha; namni qajeelaan isa irra deema; finciltoonni garuu isa irratti gufatu.
Who is wise, and he shall vnderstande these things? and prudent, and he shall knowe them? for the wayes of the Lord are righteous, and the iust shall walke in them: but the wicked shall fall therein.
