Hosea 9
1 Kik umor, yaye Israel; bende kik ubed gi ilo kaka ogendini mamoko. Nimar ok usebedo jo-adiera ne Nyasachu; usehero chudo mar ochot michulougo, e kuonde dino cham.
Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor.
2 Kuonde ma idinoe cham kod kuonde mibiyoe divai ok nopidh ji; kendo divai manyien ok nokonygi.
The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them.
3 Ok ginidongʼ e piny Jehova Nyasaye; Efraim nodog Misri, kendo ginicham chiemo ma ok opwodhi e piny Asuria.
They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria.
4 Ok gini olne Jehova Nyasaye misango mar divai, bende misengini ma gichiwo ok nomor Jehova Nyasaye ngangʼ. Misengini machalo kamano nochal negi mana kaka chiemb joma ywak; kendo jogo mochamogi nobed mogak. Chiemoni nobed margi giwegi; omiyo ok nokele e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.
5 Unutim angʼo e odiechiengu mowal mar nyasi, kata ka odiechienge nyasi mar Jehova Nyasaye ochopo?
What will you do on the day of worship, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 Kata ka gitony e kethruok, Misri nochokgi, kendo Memfis noikgi. Mwandu mag fedha noum gi pedo kendo kuthe noum hembegi.
For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.
7 Kinde mag kum biro kendo kinde mag ngʼado bura osechopo. Omiyo jo-Israel nyaka ngʼe wachni. Nikech richou ngʼeny kendo kinyou lich miwuoro, janabi ikwano ka ngʼama ofuwo, to ngʼat matiyo gi much Nyasaye ka janeko.
The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.
8 Janabi, kaachiel gi Nyasacha e jarit mar Efraim, kata kamano obadho rite e yorene duto, kendo akweda bende rite e od Nyasache.
There is great hate against the watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God; as for the prophet, there is a net in all his ways, and hate in the house of his God.
9 Gisedonjo matut e timbe mag miganga mana ka ndalo mag Gibea. Nyasaye nopar timbegi mamono kendo enokumgi e richogi.
They have gone deep in evil as in the days of Gibeah; he will keep in mind their wrongdoing, he will give them punishment for their sins.
10 “Kane ayudo Israel ne ochalo mana kayudo olemb mzabibu e piny motwo, kane aneno kwereu, ne chalo mana ka gima aneno olemo monyak mokwongo mar ngʼowu. To kane gibiro Baal Peor, negichiwore lamo nyiseche manono makwodo wich, kendo negibedo modwanyore mana ka gima ne giherono.
I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.
11 Duongʼ mar Efraim noweye mana ka winyo ma huyo mi lal nono, omiyo ok ginichak ginywol nyithindo, mondegi ok nobed ma yach kendo onge nyathi manomak ichne.
As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.
12 Kata ka gipidho nyithindo, to namigi gibed gi kuyo kuom moro ka moro. Okwongʼ-gi, ka alokora mi ajwangʼogi!
Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.
13 Aseneno Efraim, mana kaka ne aneno Turo, ka opidhi kama omiyo, to Efraim nokel nyithinde ni janek.”
As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.
14 Chiwnegi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, en angʼo ma dimigi? Migi mana iye magore piny kendo thunde motwo.
O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.
15 “Nikech timbegi mag anjawo e Gilgal, ne ok aherogi kanyo. Nikech timbegi mag richo, abiro riembgi oko e oda. Ok anachak ahergi; jotendgi duto gin joma timbegi richo.
All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.
16 Midekre osemako Efraim, kendo tiendene ner, ok ginyag olemo. Kata ka ginywolo nyithindo, to ananeg nyithindgi ma gihero ahinyago.”
The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.
17 Nyasacha nokwedgi nikech ok gisewinje, ginibedi joma tangni e dier ogendini.
My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him; they will be wandering among the nations.
