Oseas 14

Bible Darby

1Samarie portera son iniquité, car elle s’est révoltée contre son Dieu ; ils tomberont par l’épée, leurs petits enfants seront écrasés, et on fendra le ventre à leurs femmes enceintes.

2*Israël, reviens à l’Éternel, ton Dieu, car tu es tombé par ton iniquité.

3Prenez avec vous des paroles, et revenez à l’Éternel ; dites-lui : Pardonne toute iniquité, et accepte ce qui est bon, et nous [te] rendrons les sacrifices de nos lèvres.

4L’Assyrie ne nous sauvera pas ; nous ne monterons pas sur des chevaux, et nous ne dirons plus : Notre Dieu, à l’œuvre de nos mains ; car, auprès de toi, l’orphelin trouve la miséricorde.

5Je guérirai leur abandon [de moi], je les aimerai librement, car ma colère s’est détournée d’eux.

6Je serai pour Israël comme la rosée ; il fleurira comme le lis, et il poussera ses racines comme le Liban.

7Ses rejetons s’étendront, et sa magnificence sera comme l’olivier, et son parfum, comme le Liban :

8ils reviendront s’asseoir sous son ombre, ils feront vivre le froment, et ils fleuriront comme une vigne ; leur renommée sera comme le vin du Liban.

9Éphraïm [dira] : Qu’ai-je plus à faire avec les idoles ? – Moi, je lui répondrai et je le regarderai. – Moi, je suis comme un cyprès vert. – De moi provient ton fruit.

10Qui est sage ? il comprendra ces choses ; et intelligent ? il les connaîtra ; car les voies de l’Éternel sont droites, et les justes y marcheront, mais les transgresseurs y tomberont.

Reina-Valera 1909

1CONVIÉRTETE, oh Israel, á Jehová tu Dios: porque por tu pecado has caído.

2Tomad con vosotros palabras, y convertíos á Jehová, y decidle: Quita toda iniquidad, y acepta el bien, y daremos becerros de nuestros labios.

3No nos librará Assur; no subiremos sobre caballos, ni nunca más diremos á la obra de nuestras manos: Dioses nuestros: porque en ti el huérfano alcanzará misericordia.

4Yo medicinaré su rebelión, amarélos de voluntad: porque mi furor se apartó de ellos.

5Yo seré á Israel como rocío; él florecerá como lirio, y extenderá sus raíces como el Líbano.

6Extenderse han sus ramos, y será su gloria como la de la oliva, y olerá como el Líbano.

7Volverán, y se sentarán bajo de su sombra: serán vivificados como trigo, y florecerán como la vid: su olor, como de vino del Líbano.

8Ephraim dirá: ¿Qué más tendré ya con los ídolos? Yo lo oiré, y miraré; yo seré á él como la haya verde: de mí será hallado tu fruto.

9¿Quién es sabio para que entienda esto, y prudente para que lo sepa? Porque los caminos de Jehová son derechos, y los justos andarán por ellos: mas los rebeldes en ellos caerán.

King James Version

1O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

2Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

3Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

4I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

5I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

6His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

7They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

8Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

9Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

World English Bible

1Israel, return to the LORD your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.

2Take words with you, and return to the LORD. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good; so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.

3Assyria 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“I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.

5I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.

6His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.

7Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is found.”

9Who 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.
