Hoseas 2
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
2 “Gani tawga ninyo ang inyo kapareho nga mga Israelinhon nga ‘Akon katawhan’[a] kag ‘Ginkaluoyan.’ ”[b]
Nagpanginlalaki si Gomer
2 “Mga anak, sawaya ninyo ang inyo iloy bisan nga indi ko na siya asawa, kag indi na niya ako bana. Sawaya ninyo siya nga untaton na niya ang pagpanginlalaki. 3 Kon indi gani siya mag-untat ubahan ko siya kag mangin hublas siya pareho sang iya pagkatawo. Himuon ko siya nga pareho sang kamingawan ukon desierto, kag mapatay siya sa kauhaw. 4-5 Kag kamo nga iya mga anak indi ko pagkaluoyan, kay mga anak kamo sang babayi nga nagapanginlalaki. Makahuluya ang ginahimo sang inyo iloy nga nagbata sa inyo. Nagsiling pa siya, ‘Magalagas ako sa akon mga lalaki nga amo ang nagahatag sa akon sang akon pagkaon, tubig, mga tela nga delana[c] kag linen, lana, kag bino.’
6 “Gani kudalan ko siya sang tunukon nga mga kahoy-kahoy agod indi siya makaguwa. 7 Lagson niya ang iya mga lalaki pero indi niya sila maabtan. Pangitaon niya sila pero indi niya makita. Dayon magasiling siya, ‘Mabalik na lang ako sa akon una nga bana, kay mas maayo pa ang akon kahimtangan sadto sang sa subong.’
8 “Wala niya ginahunahuna nga ako ang naghatag sa iya sang mga uyas, duga sang ubas, lana, kag sang madamo nga pilak kag bulawan nga ginhimo nila nga imahen ni Baal.[d] 9 Gani sa tion sang tig-alani bawion ko ang mga uyas kag duga sang ubas nga ginhatag ko. Kag bawion ko man ang mga tela nga delana kag linen nga ginhatag ko para itabon sa iya pagkahublas. 10 Kag karon ubahan ko siya sa atubangan sang iya mga lalaki, kag wala sing may makaluwas sa iya sa akon kamot. 11 Pauntaton ko na ang tanan nga pinasahi nga tion sang pagsimba nga ginasaulog niya kada tuig, kada bulan, kag kada semana.[e] 12 Pierdihon ko ang iya mga tanom nga ubas kag mga kahoy nga higera nga siling niya ginbayad sa iya sang iya mga lalaki. Himuon ko ang mga talamnan sini nga masiot nga kakahuyan, kag ang mga bunga sini kaunon sang talunon nga mga sapat. 13 Silutan ko siya tungod nga may mga tion nga nagasunog siya sang insenso sa mga imahen ni Baal. Nagsuksok siya sang mga alahas kag naglagas sa iya mga lalaki, pero ako iya ginkalimtan niya. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.
14 “Pero karon, dal-on ko siya sa kamingawan kag pangaluyagan liwat hasta nga mapaluyag ko siya. 15 Paghalin namon didto ibalik ko sa iya ang iya mga talamnan sang ubas, kag himuon ko ang Kapatagan sang Acor[f] nga alagyan nga magapadumdom sang maayo nga palaabuton. Sabton niya ako pareho sang iya ginhimo sadtong bataon pa siya, sang pagguwa niya sa Egipto.”
16 Nagsiling ang Ginoo sa mga Israelinhon, “Sa sina nga tion nga magabalik kamo sa akon, pagatawgon ninyo ako nga inyo bana, kag indi na ninyo ako pagatawgon nga inyo Baal.[g] 17 Indi ko na gid kamo pagpamitlangon sang mga ngalan ni Baal. 18 Sa sina nga tion magahimo ako sang kasugtanan sa tanan nga klase sang sapat nga indi nila kamo pag-anhon. Dulaon ko sa duta sang Israel ang mga armas sa inaway pareho sang pana kag espada. Kag tungod nga wala na sing inaway, magatulog kamo nga wala sing may ginakahadlukan nga katalagman.
19 “Kabigon ko kamo nga akon asawa hasta san-o. Himuon ko sa inyo ang matarong kag husto. Higugmaon ko kamo kag kaluoyan, 20 kag mangin matutom ako sa inyo. Gani kilalahon na gid ninyo ako nga Ginoo. 21 Ako, ang Ginoo, nagasiling nga sa sina nga adlaw sabton ko ang inyo pangamuyo. Paulanon ko agod magtubo sa duta 22 ang mga uyas, ubas kag olibo para sa inyo nga ginatawag nga Jezreel.[h] 23 Paestaron ko kamo sa inyo duta bilang akon katawhan. Ipakita ko ang akon kaluoy sa inyo nga ginatawag nga Lo Ruhama.[i] Kag kamo nga ginatawag man nga Lo Ami[j] tawgon ko nga akon katawhan, kag magasiling kamo nga ako ang inyo Dios.”

Hosea 2
King James Version
2 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
Hosea 2
New King James Version
The Lord’s Love for His Unfaithful People
God’s Unfaithful People
2 “Bring[c] charges against your mother, [d]bring charges;
For (A)she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!
Let her put away her (B)harlotries from her sight,
And her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Lest (C)I strip her naked
And expose her, as in the day she was (D)born,
And make her like a wilderness,
And set her like a dry land,
And slay her with (E)thirst.
4 “I will not have mercy on her children,
For they are the (F)children of harlotry.
5 For their mother has played the harlot;
She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.
For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
(G)Who give me my bread and my water,
My wool and my linen,
My oil and my drink.’
6 “Therefore, behold,
(H)I will hedge up your way with thorns,
And [e]wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
7 She will [f]chase her lovers,
But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.
Then she will say,
(I)‘I will go and return to my (J)first husband,
For then it was better for me than now.’
8 For she did not (K)know
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.
9 “Therefore I will return and take away
My grain in its time
And My new wine in its season,
And will take back My wool and My linen,
Given to cover her nakedness.
10 Now (L)I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
And no one shall deliver her from My hand.
11 (M)I will also cause all her mirth to cease,
Her feast days,
Her New Moons,
Her Sabbaths—
All her appointed feasts.
12 “And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
Of which she has said,
‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me.’
So I will make them a forest,
And the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 I will punish her
For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense.
She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry,
And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the Lord.
God’s Mercy on His People
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
Will bring her into the wilderness,
And speak [g]comfort to her.
15 I will give her her vineyards from there,
And (N)the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;
She shall sing there,
As in (O)the days of her youth,
(P)As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
16 “And it shall be, in that day,”
Says the Lord,
“That you will call Me [h]‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me [i]‘My Master,’
17 For (Q)I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals,
And they shall be remembered by their name no more.
18 In that day I will make a (R)covenant for them
With the beasts of the field,
With the birds of the air,
And with the creeping things of the ground.
Bow and sword of battle (S)I will shatter from the earth,
To make them (T)lie down safely.
19 “I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In lovingkindness and mercy;
20 I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,
And (U)you shall know the Lord.
21 “It shall come to pass in that day
That (V)I will answer,” says the Lord;
“I will answer the heavens,
And they shall answer the earth.
22 The earth shall answer
With grain,
With new wine,
And with oil;
They shall answer [j]Jezreel.
23 Then (W)I will sow her for Myself in the earth,
(X)And I will have mercy on her who had [k]not obtained mercy;
Then (Y)I will say to those who were [l]not My people,
‘You are [m]My people!’
And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ”

English Standard Version
Israel's Unfaithfulness Punished
2 [a] Say to your brothers, (A)“You are my people,”[b] and to your sisters, (B)“You have received mercy.”[c]
2 “Plead with your mother, plead—
for (C)she is not my wife,
and I am not her husband—
that she put away (D)her whoring from her face,
and her adultery from between her breasts;
3 lest (E)I strip her naked
and make her as (F)in the day she was born,
and (G)make her like a wilderness,
and make her like a parched land,
and kill her with thirst.
4 (H)Upon her children also I will have no mercy,
(I)because they are children of whoredom.
5 For (J)their mother has played the whore;
she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For (K)she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
who (L)give me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
6 Therefore (M)I will hedge up her[d] way with thorns,
and (N)I will build a wall against her,
so that she cannot find her paths.
7 She shall pursue her lovers
but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
(O)Then she shall say,
‘I will go and return to (P)my first husband,
(Q)for it was better for me then than now.’
8 And (R)she did not know
that it was (S)I who gave her
(T)the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and who lavished on (U)her silver and gold,
(V)which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore (W)I will take back
my grain in its time,
and my wine in its season,
and (X)I will take away my wool and my flax,
which were to cover her nakedness.
10 Now (Y)I will uncover her lewdness
in the sight of her lovers,
and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
11 (Z)And I will put an end to all her mirth,
her feasts, her (AA)new moons, her (AB)Sabbaths,
and all her (AC)appointed feasts.
12 And (AD)I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
(AE)of which she said,
‘These are (AF)my wages,
which my lovers have given me.’
I will make them a forest,
(AG)and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
13 And (AH)I will punish her for (AI)the feast days of the Baals
when she burned offerings to them
and (AJ)adorned herself with her ring and jewelry,
and went after her lovers
and forgot me, declares the Lord.
The Lord's Mercy on Israel
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
and (AK)bring her into the wilderness,
and (AL)speak tenderly to her.
15 And there I will give her her vineyards
and make the Valley of Achor[e] a door of hope.
And there she shall answer (AM)as in the days of her youth,
as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
16 “And (AN)in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me ‘My Baal.’ 17 For (AO)I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more. 18 And (AP)I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground. And (AQ)I will abolish[f] the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you lie down in (AR)safety. 19 And I will betroth you to me (AS)forever. (AT)I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. 20 (AU)I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And (AV)you shall know the Lord.
21 “And (AW)in that day (AX)I will answer, declares the Lord,
I will answer the heavens,
and they shall answer the earth,
22 and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and they shall answer (AY)Jezreel,[g]
23 and (AZ)I will sow her for myself in the land.
And (BA)I (BB)will have mercy on No Mercy,[h]
and (BC)I will say to Not My People,[i] (BD)‘You are my people’;
and he shall say, ‘You are my God.’”
