Hooseʼaa 2
1 “Obboloota keessaniin, ‘Saba koo’ obboleettota keessaniin immoo, ‘Jaallatamtuu koo’ jedhaa.
Say to brothers your people my and to sisters your she is Shown Compassion.
2 “Haadha keessanitti dheekkamaa; isheetti dheekkamaa; isheen niitii koo mitiitii; anis dhirsa ishee miti. Isheen fuula ishee irraa ilaalcha ejjummaa haa balleessitu; amanamummaa dhabuus harma ishee gidduudhaa haa balleessitu.
Conduct a case with mother your conduct a case for she not [is] wife my and I not [am] husband her and let her remove prostitution her from face her and adulteries her from between breasts her.
3 Yoo kanaa achii ani wayyaa ishee irraa baasee akkuma guyyaa isheen dhalatte sanaa qullaa ishee nan hambisaa; akkuma gammoojjii ishee nan godha; lafa goggogaatti ishee nan geeddara; dheebuudhaanis ishee nan ajjeesa.
Lest I should strip her naked and I will exhibit her like [the] day was born she and I will make her like wilderness and I will make her like a land dry and I should make die her with thirst.
4 Isaan ijoollee ejjummaa waan taʼaniif, ani ijoollee isheetiif garaa hin laafu.
And children her not I will have compassion on for [are] children of prostitution they.
5 Haati isaanii amanamummaa dhabdee karaa salphinaatiin isaan ulfoofte. Isheen, ‘Ani warra na jaallatu, warra nyaata koo fi bishaan koo, warra suufii koo fi wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, warra dibataa fi dhugaatii koo naaf kennan duukaa nan buʼa’ jette.
For she has prostituted herself mother their she has acted shamefully [the] [one who] conceived them for she said I will go after lovers my [who] give food my and water my wool my and flax my oil my and drinks my.
6 Kanaafuu ani haafa qoraattiitiin daandii ishee nan cufa; akka isheen karaa ittiin baatu hin arganneef dallaa itti nan ijaara.
Therefore here I [am] about to fence up way your with thorns and I will wall up wall her and paths her not she will find.
7 Isheen michoota ishee duukaa buuti; garuu isaan hin qaqqabdu; isaan barbaaddi; garuu hin argitu. Ergasii isheen, ‘Ani akkuma duraa gara dhirsa kootti nan deebiʼa; amma caalaa yeroo sana wayya tureetii’ jetti.
And she will pursue lovers her and not she will overtake them and she will seek them and not she will find [them] and she will say I will go and I will return to husband my former for it was good for me then more than now.
8 Isheen akka ani midhaan, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitii isheedhaaf kenne, meetii fi warqee isaan Baʼaaliif dhiʼeessanis kan ishee irratti dhangalaase anuma akka taʼe hin beekne.
And she not she knows that I I gave to her the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and silver I multiplied to her and gold [which] they made into Baal.
9 “Kanaafuu ani yeroo inni bilchaatutti midhaan koo, daadhii wayinii koo haaraa illee yeroo inni qophaaʼutti irraa nan fudhadha. Ani suufii koo fi wayyaa koo kan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame kanan qullaa ishee dhoksuudhaaf kenneefis amma ishee irraa nan fudhadha.
Therefore I will return and I will take grain my at appropriate time its and new wine my at appointed time its and I will take away wool my and flax my to cover nakedness her.
10 Ani amma ijuma michoota ishee duratti addaggummaa ishee nan saaxila; namni tokko iyyuu harka koo keessaa ishee hin baasu.
And now I will uncover lewdness her to [the] eyes of lovers her and anyone not he will deliver her from hand my.
11 Ani ayyaana ishee hunda jechuunis, ayyaana ishee kan waggaa, ayyaana ishee kan gaafa baatii haaraa, ayyaana ishee kan Sanbataatii fi ayyaanota ishee kanneen murtaaʼan hunda nan hambisa.
And I will put an end to all gaiety her festival[s] her new moon[s] her and sabbath[s] her and every appointed feast her.
12 Ani muka wayinii isheetii fi muka harbuu ishee kan isheen michoota kootu naaf kenne jettu sana nan barbadeessa. Ani daggala isaan nan godha; bineensi bosonaa isaan dheeda.
And I will devastate vine[s] her and fig tree[s] her which she said [are] wage[s] they of me which they gave to me lovers my and I will make them into a thicket and it will consume them [the] animal[s] of the field.
13 Ani guyyoota isheen itti Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsite sanaaf ishee nan adaba; isheen qubeelaa fi faaya garaa garaatiin of miidhagsitee michoota ishee duukaa butee na irraanfatte” jedha Waaqayyo.
And I will visit on her [the] days of the Baals when she made smoke to them and she ornamented herself ring[s] her and jewelry her and she went after lovers her and me she forgot [the] utterance of Yahweh.
14 “Kanaafuu ani amma ishee nan sossoba; gara lafa gammoojjiitti ishee geessee jaalalaan itti nan dubbadha.
Therefore here! I [am] about to persuade her and I will lead her the wilderness and I will speak (to *L(abh)*) heart her.
15 Ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii ishee deebisee nan kennaaf; Sulula Aakooris balbala abdii nan godha. Isheen achitti akkuma gaafa shamarrummaa isheetti, akkuma gaafa biyya Gibxii baateetti sirbiti.
And I will give to her vineyards her from there and [the] valley of Achor to a door of hope and she will answer there like [the] days of youth her and like [the] day went up she from [the] land of Egypt.
16 “Ati gaafa sana” jedha Waaqayyo; “‘Dhirsa koo’ jettee na waamta; ati lammata deebitee, ‘Gooftaa koo’ naan hin jettu.
And it will be in the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh you will call husband my and not you will call me again Baal my.
17 Ani maqaawwan Baʼaal afaan isheetii nan balleessa; maqaan isaanii lammata hin dhaʼamu.
And I will remove [the] names of the Baals from mouth her and not they will be remembered again by name their.
18 Ani gaafas bineensa bosonaatii fi simbirroota samii wajjin, uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan wajjin isaaniif kakuu nan gala. Ani akka isin nagaadhaan bultaniif xiyya, goraadee fi waraana lafa irraa nan balleessa.
And I will make to them a covenant in the day that with [the] animal[s] of the field and with [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] creeping thing[s] of the ground and bow and sword and battle I will break from the land and I will make lie down them to security.
19 Ani bara baraan ofii kootiif sin kaadhimadha; ani qajeelummaa fi dhugaadhaan jaalalaa fi gara laafinaan sin kaadhimadha.
And I will betroth you to myself for ever and I will betroth you to myself in righteousness and in justice and in covenant loyalty and in compassion.
20 Ani amanamummaadhaan sin kaadhimadha; atis Waaqayyoon ni beekta.”
And I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness and you will know Yahweh.
21 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani gaafas deebii siif nan kenna; ani samiif deebii nan kenna; samiinis lafaaf deebii ni kenna;
And it will be - in the day that I will answer [the] utterance of Yahweh I will answer the heavens and they they will answer the earth.
22 laftis midhaaniif, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiif deebii kenniti; isaanis Yizriʼeeliif deebii kennu.
And the earth it will answer the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and they they will answer Jezreel.
23 Ani ofii kootiif lafa irra ishee nan dhaabbadha; ani kanan, ‘Ati jaalallee koo miti’ jedheen sana nan jaalladha. Ani warra, ‘Isin saba koo miti’ jedhaman sanaan, ‘Isin saba koo ti’ nan jedha; isaanis, ‘Ati Waaqa koo ti’ naan jedhu.”
And I will sow her for myself in the land and I will have compassion on Lo-Ruhamah and I will say to Not-People My [are] people my you and he he will say God my.
