Hosea 7
1 e kinde ka kinde madwaro changoe Israel, to richo mag Efraim elore kendo timbe mahundu mag Samaria fwenyore. Gihero wacho miriambo, jokwoge turo udi, jonjore mayo ji e yore;
When I woulde haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of Samaria: for they haue dealt falsly: and the theefe commeth in, and the robber spoyleth without.
2 to ok gisefwenyo ni aparo timbegi duto maricho. Richogi oduodogi, kendo ni e wangʼa ndalo duto.
And they consider not in their hearts, that I remember all their wickednes: now their owne inuentions haue beset them about: they are in my sight.
3 “Gimoro ruoth gi timbegi marichogo, yawuot ruoth bende gimiyo mor gi miriambo.
They make the King glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies.
4 Giduto gin joma terore, giore ka kendo, ma jated makati oweyo chwaloe mach nyaka otiek dwelo mi makati kuodi moromo tedo.
They are all adulterers, and as a very ouen heated by ye baker, which ceaseth from raysing vp, and from kneading ye dough vntill it be leauened.
5 E odiechiengʼ mar nyasi ruodhwa yawuot ruoth madho divai mamer, mi riw lwetgi gi jo-ajara.
This is the day of our King: the princes haue made him sicke with flagons of wine: he stretcheth out his hand to scorners.
6 Chunygi chalo gi kendo, gidhi ire ka gisechano timo timbe mochido. Gombogi liet ka maa otieno, kochopo okinyi to omuoch ka mach maliel.
For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen whiles they lie in waite: their baker sleepeth all the night: in the morning it burneth as a flame of fire.
7 Giduto giliet ka kendo, gikidho jotendgi. Ruodhigi bende gitieko, to onge ngʼato kuomgi maluonga.
They are all hote as an ouen, and haue deuoured their iudges: all their Kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth vnto me.
8 “Efraim riwore gi ogendini, kendo ochalo gi makati ma ok okuot.
Ephraim hath mixt himselfe among the people. Ephraim is as a cake on the hearth not turned.
9 Ogendini tieko tekone, to ok ofweny. Lwar okuorore e yie wiye, to ok ongʼeyo.
Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray heares are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not.
10 Tok teko mar jo-Israel bedonegi janeno ka ngʼadonegi bura, to kata magi duto timorene, to ok oduogi ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache, kata mana manye.
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the Lord their God, nor seeke him for all this.
11 “Efraim chalo kaka akuch odugla mawuondo yot kendo mofuwo, giluongo Misri to gilokore gidhi Asuria.
Ephraim also is like a doue deceiued, without heart: they call to Egypt: they go to Asshur.
12 Ka gidhi, to abiro bolo goka kuomgi; analwargi piny ka winy mafuyo malo. Ka anenogi ka gichokore kanyakla, to anamakgi duto.
But when they shall go, I will spred my net vpon them, and drawe them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastice them as their congregation hath heard.
13 Okwongʼ-gi, nikech gisebedo mabor koda! Kethruok ne gin, nikech gisekweda! Asedwaro mondo aduog-gi ira to giriambo kuoma.
Wo vnto them: for they haue fled away from me: destruction shalbe vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me: though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lyes against me.
14 Ok giywagna koa e chunygi makmana gidengo e kitendinigi. Gichokore kanyakla ne cham kod divai manyien to giringo gijwangʼa.
And they haue not cryed vnto me with their hearts, when they houled vpon their beds: they assembled themselues for corne, and wine, and they rebell against me.
15 Ne atiegogi ma amiyo gibedo motegno to gichano gik maricho kuoma.
Though I haue boud and strengthened their arme, yet doe they imagine mischiefe against me.
16 Gitamore duogo ir Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo; gichalo atungʼ ma ok nyal tigo. Jotendgi noneg gi ligangla nikech wechegi mag nyadhi. Kuom mano nojargi e piny Misri.”
They returne, but not to the most high: they are like a deceitfull bowe: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongues: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
