Hosea 7
1 Sa dihang gusto nako ayohon ang Israel, mabutyag gayod ang sala sa Efraim, bisan paman ang mga daotang binuhatan sa Samaria, kay nagbuhat sila ug pagpangilad; mosulod ang kawatan, ug mosulong sa kadalanan ang panon sa mga tulisan.
When I was willing to heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the malice of Samaria, for they had been manufacturing lies. And the thief steals from inside, the robber from outside.
2 Wala nila maamgohi sa ilang kasingkasing nga nahinumdoman nako ang tanan nilang mga daotang binuhatan. Karon gipalibotan sila sa daotan nilang binuhatan; ug nasayran nako kining tanan.
And, so that they may not say in their hearts that I am the one who has called to mind all of their wickedness: now their own inventions have encircled them. These things have happened in my presence.
3 Pinaagi sa ilang pagkadaotan gilipay nila ang hari, ug pinaagi ilang mga bakak gilipay usab nila ang mga opisyal.
The king has rejoiced at their wickedness, and the leaders have rejoiced in their lies.
4 Maluibon silang tanan, sama sa gipainit nga pugon sa panadero, nga moundang sa pagsiga sa kalayo gikan sa pagmasa sa harina hangtod nga motubo kini.
They are all adulterers; like an oven heating up before baking, the city rested a little before the leaven was mixed in, until the whole was leavened.
5 Sa adlaw sa among hari gisakit sa mga opisyal ang ilang mga kaugalingon pinaagi sa makapainit nga bino. Gituy-od niya ang iyang kamot niadtong nagbiaybiay.
On the day of our king, the leaders began to be mad with wine; he extended his hand with those who fabricate illusions.
6 Tungod kay sama sa pugon ang ilang kasingkasing, gihimo nila ang ilang malimbongon nga laraw. Nag-aso-aso ang ilang kasuko sa tibuok gabii; ug sa pagkabuntag misilaob kini sama sa nagdilaab nga kalayo.
For they have used their heart like an oven, while he laid snares for them; he slept through the night baking them, and by morning he himself was heated like a burning fire.
7 Hilabihan ang ilang kainit sama sa pugon, ug gilamoy nila kadtong nagdumala kanila. Nangalaglag ang tanan nilang mga hari; ug walay bisan usa kanila nga mitawag kanako.
They have all become hot like an oven, and they have devoured their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one who calls to me among them.
8 Nakig-abin si Efraim uban sa mga katawhan. Sama sa lapad nga tinapay si Efraim nga wala pa mabali.
Ephraim himself has been mingled with the nations. Ephraim has become like bread, baked under ashes, that has not been turned over.
9 Gilamoy sa mga langyaw ang iyang kusog, apan wala siya nasayod niini. Giwisik-wisikan siya ug mga puti nga buhok, apan wala siya masayod niini.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he did not know it. And grey hairs also have spread across him, and he is ignorant of it.
10 Ang pagkamahitas-on sa Israel mao gayod ang nagpamatuod batok kaniya; bisan pa niana, wala sila mibalik kang Yahweh nga ilang Dios, ni wala sila midangop kaniya, bisan pa niining tanan.
And the pride of Israel will be brought low before his face, for they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all of this.
11 Sama sa salampati ang Efraim, tanga ug walay alamag, nga nagtawag sa Ehipto, unya milupad didto sa Asiria.
And Ephraim has become like a pigeon that has been led astray, not having a heart; for they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
12 Sa dihang moadto sila, isabwag ko kanila ang akong pukot, birahon ko sila paubos sama sa mga langgam sa kawanangan. Silotan ko sila sa ilang pagpanon.
And when they will set out, I will spread my net over them. I will pull them down like the birds of the sky; I will cut them down in accordance with the reports of their meetings.
13 Kaalaot nila! Kay mibulag sila gikan kanako. Modangat na kanila ang kadaot! Nagmasinupakon sila batok kanako! Luwason ko unta sila, apan nagsulti sila ug mga bakak batok kanako.
Woe to them, for they have withdrawn from me. They will waste away because they have been dishonest with me. And I redeemed them, and they have spoken lies against me.
14 Wala sila mihilak kanako sa tibuok nilang kasingkasing, apan midangoyngoy lamang sila sa ilang higdaanan. Nagtigom silang tanan ug trigo ug bag-ong bino, unya mibiya sila kanako.
And they have not cried out to me in their heart, but they howled on their beds. They have obsessed about wheat and wine; they have withdrawn from me.
15 Bisan ug gimatuto ko sila ug gilig-on ang ilang mga bukton, karon naglaraw sila ug daotan batok kanako.
And I have educated them, and I have reinforced their arms; and they have imagined evil against me.
16 Mibalik sila, apan wala sila mibalik kanako, ang Labing Halangdon. Sama sila sa udyong nga dili makapana. Mangalaglag gayod ang ilang mga opisyal tungod sa kabastos sa ilang mga dila. Mahimo kining ibiaybiay sa yuta sa Ehipto ngadto sa Israel.
They returned so that they might be without a yoke. They have become like a deceitful bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of the madness of their words. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
