Hosea 10
1 Israel ne en mzabibu malandore; ne onyago olembene owuon. Ka olembene ne medore, nomedo gero kende mag misango; kendo ka pinye ne medo mewo, to nomedo loso kido milamo.
Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.
2 Chunygi opongʼ gi miriambo kendo koro nyaka gitingʼ mana kum marom kodgi. Jehova Nyasaye nomuk kendegi mag misango kendo kitegi ma gilamo bende nokethi.
Their mind is taken away; now they will be made waste: he will have their altars broken down, he will give their pillars to destruction.
3 Eka giniwachi, “Waonge ruoth nikech watamore miyo Jehova Nyasaye luor. To kata kane wan gi ruoth, to dotimonwa angʼo?”
Now, truly, they will say, We have no king, we have no fear of the Lord; and the king, what is he able to do for us?
4 Githoro wacho weche manono ka gikwongʼore gi miriambo, kendo giloso winjruok ma ok nyal konyogi; emomiyo buche mag larruok medore mana ka buya malandore e puothe mosepur.
Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.
5 Ji modak Samaria luoro osemako nikech nyaroya molos gi dhahabu mar Beth Aven. Joge noywage, kamano bende e kaka jodologe malamo nyiseche manono noywage, mago mosebedo gi mor kuom berne nikech osegole kuomgi kitere e twech.
The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight.
6 Enotingʼe kitere Asuria kaka mich ne ruoth maduongʼ. Efraim noma duongʼne to Israel nokuod wiye nikech nyisechene molos gi bao.
And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.
7 Samaria kod ruodhige nolew gi malo mana ka bad yien malewo gi malo ewi pi.
As for Samaria, her king is cut off, like mist on the water.
8 Kuonde motingʼore malo mag anjawo nokethi, en emomiyo jo-Israel timo richo. Kuthe kod buya ema biro dongo maim kendegi mag misango. Eka giniwach ne gode madongo niya, “Umwauru!” Kendo ne gode matindo niya, “Rwombreuru kuomwa!”
And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.
9 “Nyaka aa ndalo mar Gibea, isebedo ka itimo richo, yaye Israel, to kanyo ema isesike. Donge lweny notieko jotim richo man Gibea?
O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah.
10 Ka ahero to abiro kumogi; ogendini nonywaknegi, maketgi e twech kuom richogi duto.
I will come and give them punishment; and the peoples will come together against them when I give them the reward of their two sins.
11 Efraim en nyaroya mobo mohero dino cham; omiyo anatwe jok e ngʼute maberno. Anariemb Efraim, to Juda nyaka pur, kendo Jakobo biro baro lowo.
And Ephraim is a trained cow, taking pleasure in crushing the grain; but I have put a yoke on her fair neck; I will put a horseman on the back of Ephraim; Judah will be working the plough, Jacob will be turning up the earth.
12 Chwouru adiera ne un uwegi, kaa-uru olemo mar hera ma ok rum, kendo baruru lopu mapok opur, nimar en kinde mar manyo Jehova Nyasaye, nyaka chop ool tim makare kuomu.
Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.
13 To nikech usechwoyo anjawo, usekayo timbe maricho, kendo usechamo olemb miriambo. Nikech usegeno kuom tekou uwegi kendo kuom jolwenju mangʼeny,
You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.
14 kuom mano koko mar lweny biro monjo jou, ma mi kuondeu mochiel motegno nomuki, mana kaka Shalman nomuko Beth Arbel e odiechieng lweny, kama mine kod nyithindgi nodhir mopodho.
So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.
15 Ma e kaka notimre ne un bende, yaye Bethel, nikech anjawo maru duongʼ. Ka odiechiengno ochopo, ruodh Israel notiek chuth.”
So will Beth-el do to you because of your evil-doing; at dawn will the king of Israel be cut off completely.
