Hosea 10
1 Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. According to the goodness of their land they have made goodly pillars.
Isirayiri yali muzabbibu ogwagaagadde, ogwabala ebibala byagwo. Ebibala bye gye byeyongera obungi, naye gye yeeyongera okuzimba ebyoto; n’ensi ye gye yeeyongera okuba engagga, gye yeeyongera okulungiya empagi ze.
2 Their heart is divided. Now they shall be found guilty. He will smite their altars. He will destroy their pillars.
Omutima gwabwe mulimba, era ekiseera kituuse omusango gubasinge. Mukama alimenya ebyoto byabwe, era alizikiriza empagi zaabwe.
3 Surely now they shall say, We have no king, for we fear not Jehovah. And the king, what can he do for us?
Olwo balyogera nti, “Tetulina kabaka kubanga tetwatya Mukama. Naye ne bwe twandibadde ne kabaka, yanditukoleddeyo ki?”
4 They speak vain words, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Basuubiza bingi, ne balayirira obwereere nga bakola endagaano; emisango kyegiva givaayo ng’omuddo ogw’obutwa mu nnimiro ennime.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven. For the people of it shall mourn over it, and the priests of it, who rejoiced over it for the glory of it, because it has departed from it.
Abatuuze b’e Samaliya bali mu ntiisa olw’ennyana ensaanuuse ey’e Besaveni. Abantu baayo baligikungubagira, ne bakabona baayo abaweereza bakatonda abalala, abaasanyukanga olw’ekitiibwa kyayo baligikungubagira, kubanga ekitiibwa kyayo kigivuddeko.
6 It shall also be carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Erisutulibwa n’etwalibwa e Bwasuli n’eweebwa kabaka omukulu ng’ekirabo. Efulayimu aliswazibwa ne Isirayiri alikwatibwa ensonyi olw’ekiteeso kye.
7 As for Samaria, its king is cut off, as foam upon the water.
Samaliya ne kabaka we balitwalibwa ng’ekibajjo eky’omuti ku mazzi n’azikirizibwa.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars, and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall on us.
Ebifo ebigulumivu eby’obutali butuukirivu birisaanyizibwawo, kye kibi kya Isirayiri. Amaggwa n’amatovu galimera ku byoto byabwe, ne gabibikka. Olwo ne bagamba ensozi nti, “Mutubuutikire,” n’obusozi nti, “Mutugweko.”
9 O Israel, thou have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood. The battle against the sons of iniquity does not overtake them in Gibeah.
Okuva mu nnaku za Gibea, wayonoona, ggwe Isirayiri era eyo gye wagugubira. Entalo tezakwatira abakozi b’ebibi mu Gibea?
10 When it is my desire, I will chastise them. And the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.
Bwe ndiba nga njagadde, ndibabonereza; amawanga galikuŋŋaana okulwana nabo, ne basibibwa mu masanga olw’ebibi byabwe eby’emirundi ebiri.
11 And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loves to tread out the grain. But I have passed over upon her fair neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah shall plow. Jacob shall break his clods.
Efulayimu nnyana ntendeke eyagala okuwuula; kyendiva nteeka ekikoligo mu nsingo ye ennungi. Ndigoba Efulayimu ne Yuda ateekwa okulima ne Yakobo ateekwa okukabala.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness. Reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he comes and rains righteousness upon you.
Musige ensigo ez’obutuukirivu, mukungule ebibala eby’okwagala okutaggwaawo; mukabale ettaka lyammwe eritali ddime, kubanga ekiseera kituuse okunoonya Mukama, okutuusa lw’alidda n’abafukako obutuukirivu.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness. Ye have reaped iniquity. Ye have eaten the fruit of lies. For thou trusted in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Naye mwasimba obutali butuukirivu ne mukungula ebibi, era mulidde ebibala eby’obulimba. Olw’okwesiga amaanyi go, n’abalwanyi bo abangi,
14 Therefore a tumult shall arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle; the mother was dashed in pieces with her sons.
olutalo kyeluliva lubawuumira mu matu, n’ebigo byammwe byonna ne bizikirizibwa, nga Sulemaani bwe yazikiriza Beswaluberi ku lunaku olw’olutalo, abakyala ba nnakazadde lwe baggundwa ku ttaka n’abaana baabwe.
15 So shall Bethel do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.
Bwe kityo bwe kiribeera, ggwe Besweri kubanga ekibi kyo kinene nnyo. Olunaku olwo bwe lulituuka, kabaka wa Isirayiri alizikiririzibwa ddala.
