Hosea 4
1 Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jo-Israel, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nigi wach modonjonugo, un ji modak e piny: “Onge adiera, onge hera, bende udagi yie ni Nyasaye nitie e piny.
Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, bantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngoba iNkosi ilempikisano labahlali belizwe; ngoba kakulaqiniso, njalo kakulamusa, njalo kakulalwazi lukaNkulunkulu elizweni.
2 Nitie mana kwongʼ, miriambo kod nek, kuo gi chode; kendo giketho singruok duto, kendo chwero remo timore monwore.
Kulokufunga, lokuqamba amanga, lokubulala, lokweba, lokufeba; bayafohla, lamacala egazi athinta amacala egazi.
3 Nikech ma, piny opongʼ gi kuyo kendo ji modak e iye dhero kendo tho; ondiegi manie thim gi winy mafuyo e kor polo gi rech manie nembe tho.
Ngenxa yalokho ilizwe lizalila, laye wonke ohlala kilo udangele, kanye lenyamazana zeganga, njalo kanye lenyoni zamazulu; yebo lenhlanzi zolwandle zizasuswa.
4 “Kik ngʼato kel wach mar donjo, kik ngʼato donjne wadgi, nimar jou chalo mana ka joma donjo ni jadolo.
Kodwa kakungabi khona umuntu ophikisayo, kangasoli omunye; ngoba abantu bakho banjengabaphikisana lompristi.
5 Uchwanyoru odiechiengʼ gotieno to jonabi bende chwanyore mana kaka un. Omiyo abiro tieko minu.
Ngakho uzakhubeka emini, yebo, lomprofethi uzakhubeka kanye lawe ebusuku; njalo ngizamchitha unyoko.
6 Joga itieko nikech chando ngʼeyo. “Nikech utamoru dwaro ngʼeyo, an bende adagiu kaka jodolona; nikech usejwangʼo chike mag Nyasachu, an bende anajwangʼ nyithindu.
Abantu bami babhujisiwe ngokuswela ulwazi; ngoba wena ulwalile ulwazi, lami ngizakwala, ukuze ungangisebenzeli njengompristi. Lokhu usuwukhohliwe umlayo kaNkulunkulu wakho, lami ngizakhohlwa abantwana bakho.
7 Kaka jodolo medore, e kaka gimedo timo richo e nyima; gisewilo duongʼ margi gi gima kelo wichkuot.
Njengokwanda kwabo ngokunjalo bonile kimi. Udumo lwabo ngizaluphendula lube lihlazo.
8 Giyiengʼ gi richo mag joga, bende gimor gi timbegi maricho.
Badla isono sabantu bami, baphakamisela umphefumulo wabo esiphambekweni sabo.
9 Kendo obiro bet ni: Kaka ji chalo e kaka jodolo bende chalo. To abiro kumogi kuom yoregigo, kendo anachulgi machal gi timbegi.
Kuzakuthi-ke njengabantu abe njalo umpristi; ngizajezisa izindlela zabo phezu kwabo, ngiphindisele izenzo zabo kubo.
10 “Gibiro chiemo to ok giniyiengʼ; gibiro chodo to ok gini nywolre, nikech giseweyo Jehova Nyasaye, mondo gichiwre
Ngoba bazakudla, kodwa bangasuthi; bawule, kodwa bangandi; ngoba bayekele ukuqaphela iNkosi.
11 ne chode, ne kongʼo machon kod kongʼo manyien, magolo winjo mar joga.
Ubuwule lewayini lewayini elitsha kususa inhliziyo.
12 Gipenjo wach kuom nyasaye molos gi bao kendo idwokogi gi yien mopa. Chuny mar chode terogi mabor; ok gin jo-adier ne Nyasachgi.
Abantu bami babuza esigodweni sabo, lentonga yabo izabatshela. Ngoba umoya wokuwula ubaduhisile, ukuze bawule besuka phansi kukaNkulunkulu wabo.
13 Gitimo misango ewi gode maboyo kendo gitimo Sewni kuonde motingʼore gi malo, e tiend yiend ober, gi omburi kod yiende mamoko madongo dongo kendo boyo, kama otimo tipo maber. Emomiyo nyiu lokore ochode to mond yawuotu to donjo e chode.
Benza imihlatshelo engqongeni zezintaba, batshisa impepha phezu kwamaqaqa, ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi, lephophula, lesihlahla esikhulu, ngoba umthunzi waso muhle. Ngenxa yalokho amadodakazi enu azawula, labomakoti benu bazafeba.
14 “Ok anakum nyiu ka gibedo ochode, kata mond yawuotu ka terore, nikech chwo giwegi ema dhi ir mon ma jochode, gi mon manie hekalu mar Baal. Joma onge ngʼeyo biro yudo chandruok!
Kangiyikuwajezisa amadodakazi enu lapho ewula, labomakoti benu lapho befeba; ngoba bona ngokwabo bazehlukanisa lamawule, basebesenza imihlatshelo kanye lezifebe zethempeli; ngakho abantu abangelakuqedisisa bazawiselwa phansi.
15 “Yaye Israel, kata obedo ni utimo anjawo mar chode, kik umi Juda donj e timbego. “Kik udhi Gilgal; kik udhi Beth Aven. Kendo kik ukwongʼru kuwacho niya, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima!’
Loba wena Israyeli uwula, uJuda kangabi lacala. Lingangeni-ke eGiligali, lingenyukeli eBeti-Aveni, lingafungilithi: Kuphila kukaJehova.
16 Jo-Israel wigi tek mana ka roya bwongʼ ma wiye tek. Ere kaka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo kwayogi e lek kaka ikwayo rombe e lek man-gi lum?
Ngoba uIsrayeli ujila njengejongosi eliyisiqholo; khathesi iNkosi izabelusa njengewundlu endaweni ebanzi.
17 Jo-Efraim oriwore gi nyiseche manono; weyeuru kamano!
UEfrayimi uhlangene lezithombe; myekele.
18 Kata ka kong-gi orumo, to gidhi nyime gi timbegi mag chode; jotendgi ohero timbe makelo wichkuot.
Okunathwayo kwabo okulamandla kusukile, bazinikela ekuwuleni, ababavikelayo bathanda ngokuthanda ihlazo.
19 Kalausi biro tingʼogi matergi mabor, kendo misenginigi nokelnegi wichkuot.”
Umoya ubabophele empikweni zawo, njalo bazakuba lenhloni ngenxa yemihlatshelo yabo.
