Hosea 13
1 Kane Efraim owuoyo, to ji ne tetni, nodhiale e piny Israel. To notimo richo kuom lamo Baal, mi notho.
When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.
2 Koro gimedo timo richo, bende giloso nyisechegi mag fedha mondo gilam, ma gin kido molos gi rieko mangʼeny, magi duto gin tich jopa bepe. Wachore kuom jogi niya, “Gitimo misango gi dhano, kendo ginyodho kido molos mar nyaroya.”
And now do they add to sin, And make to them a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding — idols, A work of artisans — all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, 'The calves let them kiss.'
3 Emomiyo ginichal mana kaka ongʼwengʼo mokinyi, bende kaka thoo mar okinyi malal nono ka nyango owuok, bende kaka mihudhwe ma yamo keyo kar dino, bende kaka iro mawuok e dirisa.
Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.
4 “To An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mane ogolou ua e piny Misri. Ok unyal yango Nyasaye moro amora ma ok An, onge Jawar machielo makmana An.
And I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, And a God besides Me thou dost not know, And a Saviour — there is none save Me.
5 Ne aritou e piny motwo, maliel ka mach.
I — I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
6 Kane apidhogi ne giyiengʼ chuth; kane giseyiengʼ to sunga nomakogi; ma wigi owil koda.
According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
7 Omiyo anabi irgi ka sibuor, kendo ka kwach abiro buto negi e bath yo.
And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.
8 Anamonjgi mi ayiechgi matindo tindo mana ka ondiek ma omaa nyithinde. Anatiekgi mana ka sibuor, bende le mag bungu noyiechgi matindo tindo.
I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.
9 “Osetieku yaye Israel, nikech ok udwara, ok udwar jakonyu.
And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.
10 Ere ruodhu mondo koro oresu? Ere jotendu e miechu, mane usekwayo ni, ‘Miwa ruodh kod jotendwa?’
Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy help, Where [is] thy king now — And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, 'Give to me a king and heads?'
11 Kuom ich wangʼ mare ne amiyou ruoth kendo e mirimba ne agole oko.
I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.
12 Timbe mamono mag Efraim osekan, kendo richoge osendik e kitabu.
Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
13 Rem machalo gi mar dhako mamuoch kayo nobine, to en nyathi maonge gi rieko, ma ka sa ochopo monego owuog e ich to okia kama iwuok godo.
Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of sons.
14 “Abiro resogi kuom teko mar piny joma otho kendo anakonygi kuom tho. In tho, ere masicheni duto, kata in piny joma otho, ere kethruokni? “Ok anakeche, (Sheol h7585)
From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 kata ka obedo ni odhi maber kamano e kind owetene. Yamb yor wuok chiengʼ moa ir Jehova Nyasaye nobi, kakudho koa e piny motwo, ma pigene mag sokni mamol nodwon, kod yewni mokuny bende nodwon. Mwandune manie dechege noyaki duto.
Though he among brethren produceth fruit, Come in doth an east wind, a wind of Jehovah, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it drieth up his fountain, And become dry doth his spring, It — it spoileth a treasure — every desirable vessel.
16 Jo-Samaria nokum kuom richogi nikech gisengʼanyo ne Nyasachgi. Noneg-gi gi ligangla; nyithindgi matindo nochwad piny, to mondgi mapek nobar iyegi.”
Become desolate doth Samaria, Because she hath rebelled against her God, By sword they do fall, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!
