OET (OET-RV) Yisrael, return to your god Yahweh,
 ⇔ because you’ve stumbled as a result of your iniquity.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:1–3: Hosea pleads with his fellow Israelites to return to the LORD

Hosea is the speaker in this section. He urges the people of Israel to acknowledge their sin and their need for the LORD. He gives them an example of a prayer that will express their repentance. Here are some other examples of section headings:

Hosea’s Plea to Israel (GNT)

Turn back to the Lord (CEV)

14:1a

Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God,

Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God: In this clause, Hosea urges the nation of Israel to return to the LORD. This clause implies that the people are to repent and submit to the LORD.See Andersen and Freedman, Patterson and Hill, Garrett, Dearman, Carroll, Davies, McComiskey, and Macintosh.

O Israel: Here Hosea addressed the people of Israel directly. Some versions have added the word O to make it clear that O Israel is a term of address (vocative). Use a vocative that is natural in your language when a person speaks to a group of people.

The name Israel is a figure of speech that represents all the people of Israel.This is indicated by the plural pronouns in 14:2–3. Some versions translate this meaning explicitly. For example:

Return to the Lord your God, people of Israel. (GNT)

Return…to the LORD your God: In Hebrew, the form of the word Return here indicates an invitation or plea.BHRG 19.4 2. The imperative form (i) Directives d. Invitation. Also Wood (page 223). Another way to translate Return is “come back.” For example:

Israel, come back to Yahweh your God (NJB)

The Hebrew preposition translated as to indicates that the people need to fully and seriously return to the LORD.The Hebrew preposition is ʿad, BDB (#5704). McComiskey (page 229) comments that the phrase with this preposition stresses the extent of the action. It is stronger than the more frequently occurring phrase with ʿel that stresses direction. Macintosh (page 560) adds that the preposition denotes steady deliberation and seriousness of purpose that is necessary from the beginning to complete the large task. Some versions make this meaning more explicit by repeating the plea or by adding special punctuation. For example:

Israel, return! Come back to the Lord your God. (CEV)

the LORD your God: The pronoun your in this phrase is a reminder to the people that the LORD is still their God, in spite of their sins.Patterson and Hill (page 85) and Davies (page 298). In some languages, this pronoun may imply that the LORD is not Hosea’s God. If that is true in your language, you may use the inclusive pronoun “our.”

14:1b

for you have stumbled by your iniquity.

for you have stumbled by your iniquity: This clause states the reason for Hosea’s plea.

In Hebrew the clause begins with a word that introduces a reason. Some versions, such as the BSB above, translate this word as “because” or for.

Some other versions leave the reason implied. Use a natural way in your language to indicate that this clause is a reason.

The Hebrew word for iniquity is the same word that the BSB translates as “iniquity” in Hosea 13:12. See the note there on “iniquity…sin” for more information.

stumbled: The literal meaning is to fall physically. Here it has the figurative meaning of “to fail” or to be “ruined.”Hubbard (page 225) and McComiskey (page 229). TWOT (#1050) says that the verb usually describes physical falling, but numerous times the figurative use of failure or ruin occurs. The people have sinned and have experienced ruin and failure as a result.

Here are two ways to translate this meaning:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

שׁ֚וּבָ⁠ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֖ד יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑י⁠ךָ כִּ֥י כָשַׁ֖לְתָּ בַּ⁠עֲוֺנֶֽ⁠ךָ

return, Yisrael until YHWH God_of,your that/for/because/then/when stumbled on,iniquity_of,your

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because you have stumbled in your iniquity, return, Israel, to Yahweh your God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שׁ֚וּבָ⁠ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֖ד

return, Yisrael until

The speaker is speaking to the Israelites as if they had physically been walking away but could Return to walk back to Yahweh. He means that they should repent of living in ways that are displeasing to Yahweh and instead live in the manner in which Yahweh wants people to live. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You, Israel, should once again start obeying Yahweh]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹהֶ֑י⁠ךָ

God_of,your

The speaker is not using this possessive form your God to indicate that Israel possesses or controls Yahweh. Rather, he is using these words to indicate that Yahweh is the God whom Israel was meant to worship. Alternate translation: [the God whom you worship]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כָשַׁ֖לְתָּ בַּ⁠עֲוֺנֶֽ⁠ךָ

stumbled on,iniquity_of,your

The speaker is speaking of the ruin that the people’s sin has brought upon them as if they had physically stumbled. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you have fallen into ruin because of your iniquity]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בַּ⁠עֲוֺנֶֽ⁠ךָ

on,iniquity_of,your

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of iniquity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [because of your sinful ways]
