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 give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,
2 to ok gisefwenyo ni aparo timbegi duto maricho. Richogi oduodogi, kendo ni e wangʼa ndalo duto.
And they do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.
3 “Gimoro ruoth gi timbegi marichogo, yawuot ruoth bende gimiyo mor gi miriambo.
With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.
4 Giduto gin joma terore, giore ka kendo, ma jated makati oweyo chwaloe mach nyaka otiek dwelo mi makati kuodi moromo tedo.
All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.
5 E odiechiengʼ mar nyasi ruodhwa yawuot ruoth madho divai mamer, mi riw lwetgi gi jo-ajara.
A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with 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 have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire.
7 Giduto giliet ka kendo, gikidho jotendgi. Ruodhigi bende gitieko, to onge ngʼato kuomgi maluonga.
All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.
8 “Efraim riwore gi ogendini, kendo ochalo gi makati ma ok okuot.
Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.
9 Ogendini tieko tekone, to ok ofweny. Lwar okuorore e yie wiye, to ok ongʼeyo.
Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.
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 humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
11 “Efraim chalo kaka akuch odugla mawuondo yot kendo mofuwo, giluongo Misri to gilokore gidhi Asuria.
And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.
12 Ka gidhi, to abiro bolo goka kuomgi; analwargi piny ka winy mafuyo malo. Ka anenogi ka gichokore kanyakla, to anamakgi duto.
When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.
13 Okwongʼ-gi, nikech gisebedo mabor koda! Kethruok ne gin, nikech gisekweda! Asedwaro mondo aduog-gi ira to giriambo kuoma.
Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
14 Ok giywagna koa e chunygi makmana gidengo e kitendinigi. Gichokore kanyakla ne cham kod divai manyien to giringo gijwangʼa.
And have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside against Me.
15 Ne atiegogi ma amiyo gibedo motegno to gichano gik maricho kuoma.
And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
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 turn back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!
