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.
Do not rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
2 Kuonde ma idinoe cham kod kuonde mibiyoe divai ok nopidh ji; kendo divai manyien ok nokonygi.
The threshing floor and the winepress won't feed them, and the new wine will fail her.
3 Ok ginidongʼ e piny Jehova Nyasaye; Efraim nodog Misri, kendo ginicham chiemo ma ok opwodhi e piny Asuria.
They won't dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat 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 won't pour out wine offerings to the LORD, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. 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 in the day of solemn assembly, and in 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, look, they have gone away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be 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 visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Let Israel know. The prophet is a fool, and the man of the spirit is mad, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.
8 Janabi, kaachiel gi Nyasacha e jarit mar Efraim, kata kamano obadho rite e yorene duto, kendo akweda bende rite e od Nyasache.
A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler's snare is on all of his paths, and hostility 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 deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them 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 found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
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 fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, none with child, and no conception.
12 Kata ka gipidho nyithindo, to namigi gibed gi kuyo kuom moro ka moro. Okwongʼ-gi, ka alokora mi ajwangʼogi!
Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them.
13 Aseneno Efraim, mana kaka ne aneno Turo, ka opidhi kama omiyo, to Efraim nokel nyithinde ni janek.”
I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.
14 Chiwnegi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, en angʼo ma dimigi? Migi mana iye magore piny kendo thunde motwo.
Give them—LORD what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
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 wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more. All their rulers are rebels.
16 Midekre osemako Efraim, kendo tiendene ner, ok ginyag olemo. Kata ka ginywolo nyithindo, to ananeg nyithindgi ma gihero ahinyago.”
Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb."
17 Nyasacha nokwedgi nikech ok gisewinje, ginibedi joma tangni e dier ogendini.
My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
