Hosia 7
1 Na da Na fi Isala: ili amo bu uhinisimusa: amola ili bu bagade gaguma: ne hamomusa: dawa: sea, Na da ilia wadela: i hou hamonanebe fawane ba: sa. Ilia enoma enoma wamolasa. Ilia da inia diasu gadelale sa: ili, wamolasa. Ilia logoga eno dunu gagulaligili, liligi wamolasa.
“and when I wanted to heal them [again], [I did not do it, ] [because] I saw the wicked things that [the people of] Samaria [city] and [other places in] Israel [DOU] have done. They constantly deceive others; bandits rob people in the streets.
2 Na da ilia wadela: i hou hame gogolemu. Be ilia da amoga hamedafa dawa: Ilia wadela: i hou da ilia hou huluane sisiga: sa. Amola Na da amo wadela: i hou ayale ba: lumu hamedei.”
But they do not realize that I do not forget all the evil things that they do. [It is as though] they are surrounded by [all] the sins that they commit; and [it is though] those sins are [always right] in front of me [MTY].
3 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dunu da wadela: le ilegele, hina bagade amola ea ouligisu dunu ilima ogogosa.
Their king is delighted with the wicked things that the people do; his officials are happy about the people’s lies.
4 Ilia huluane da odoga: su dunu. Ilia higa: i hou da laluga gobele nasu ganodini ginabisibi agoane gala. Agi ga: gi hamosu dunu da falaua momagele, agi ga: gi egegema: ne, lalu gegesosa. Amo ogogosu dunu ilia hou da agoaiwane gala.
[The king and his officials] are all treacherous. [They are always eager to do wicked things; ] they are like [SIM] an oven that is [very] hot: a baker mixes the dough and waits for it to expand, and he does not [need to] cause the oven to become hotter.
5 Ilia da hina bagade ea lolo nabe esoga, hina bagade amola ea ouligisu dunu ilima waini hano bagade iabeba: le, hina amola ea ouligisu dunu da feloale amola gagaoui agoane ba: i.
The king and his officials get very drunk during their festivals, carousing with others who also do foolish things.
6 Dafawane! Ilia da wadela: i ilegei hamobeba: le, gobele nasu lalu agoane nesu. Gasi afaega ilia ougi da nenanu, hahabe lalu agoane heloa: gala: i.
The officials angrily plan to murder the king; it is like [SIM] they have an oven in their inner beings. All during the night their [eagerness/wanting to murder the king] is like a fire that is smouldering, but in the morning it becomes like [MET] a roaring fire.
7 Ilia ougi da gia: i bagadeba: le, ilia da ilia ouligisu dunu fane lelegei. Ilia hina bagade huluane da eno baligia enoenoia fane lelegei dagoi ba: i, be dunu afae da Nama ili fidima: ne hamedafa sia: ne gadosa.”
All those officials are like [MET] hot flames that completely burn up their rulers, so all their kings are murdered, and no one pleads with me [to help them].”
8 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunu da agi ga: gi gogobei agoane gala. Ilia da ili sisiga: le fifi asi gala da ili fidimu dawa: sa.
“[The leaders of] Israel join with leaders of [godless] nations; so [the leaders of] Israel are [as worthless as] a pancake that is cooked on only one side.
9 Be ilia ga fi ili fidimu dawa: beba: le, ilila: gasa da fisi dagoi ba: sa. Be amo ilia hame dawa: Ilia eso da mugamu gadenei, be amo ilia hame dawa:
Joining with the rulers of foreign nations has caused Israel to be a weak [nation], but the Israelis do not realize that. Israel has become [like] [MET] a gray-haired old man, but the people of Israel do not realize it.
10 Isala: ili fi dunu ilia gasa fi hou da fedege agoane ilima diwaneya udidisa. Se nabasu hou bagade da ilima doaga: i dagoi. Be amo mae dawa: le, ilia da Na, ilia Hina Gode, Nama hame sinidigi.
Their being proud [PRS] testifies against them, but in spite of that, they do not return to [me], Yahweh, their God, or [even] try to know me.
11 Isala: ili da gagaoui musuni defele, udigili dadoula hahagila ahoa. Degabo ilia da Idibidi ilia ili fidima: ne wele adole ba: sa. Amalu, ilia Asilia amoma hehenasa.
[The people of] Israel have become foolish and stupid like [SIM] doves. [First] they called out to Egypt [to help them], [and then] they sought help from Assyria.
12 Be ilia da sio agoane baligili ahoasea, Na da ili gagulaligima: ne, efega ididiginisimu. Ilia wadela: i hou bagade hamobeba: le, Na da ilima se imunu.
But wherever they go [to get help], [I will not allow them to succeed]; [it will be as though] [MET] I will throw a net over them like [SIM] [a hunter uses a net to capture] birds; I will punish them for the evil things that they do.
13 Ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu! Ilia da Na yolesiagai amola Nama lelei dagoi. Ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu! Na da ili gaga: musa: dawa: i, be ilia da Nama ogogole fawane nodone sia: ne gadosu.
Terrible things will happen to them because they abandoned/deserted me! They will be destroyed because they rebelled against me. I wanted to rescue them, but they tell lies about me.
14 Ilia da Nama moloiwane hame sia: ne gadoi. Be ilia da udigili hame lalegagui dunu agoane, ili gobele gisalu gagala: sa amola a: iya gusa: sa. Ilia da gagoma amola waini hano adole ba: ma: ne sia: ne gadosea, ilia da hame lalegagui dunu agoane ilia da: i fofa: ginisisa. Dafawane! Ilia da lelesu dunudafa!
They do not cry out to me sincerely [IDM]; they [only] lie on their beds and wail. They gather together and ask [me to give them] grain and wine, but they turn away from me.
15 Na da ili fofoi amola ilima gasa i. Be ilia da Na wadela: ma: ne ilegesu.
I trained/taught them and enabled them to become strong, but now they plan [to do] evil things to me.
16 Ilia da Na yolesili, gasa hame ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima fa: no bobogelalu. Ilia da guga: loi oulali defele, molole hamomu hamedei. Ilia ouligisu dunu da gasa fili sia: beba: le, ilia da ludulala se nabawene bogomu. Amasea Idibidi dunu da oumu.
They have rejected me, their Great God, and turned to their god Baal; they are [as useless] as [SIM] a crooked bow. Their leaders boast [that they are very strong], but they will be killed by [their enemies’] swords. As a result, [the people of] Egypt will laugh at them.”
