< Hosea 4 >

1 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu Isala: ili soge ganodini esala, ilima diwaneya udidisa. Isala: ili fi! Ea sia: nabima! E da amane sia: sa, “Noga: i fa: no bobogesu hou amola asigi hou da Isala: ili soge ganodini hamedafa gala. Amola Na fi dunu da Na da Godedafa hame sia: sa.
2 There is nothing but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery. They break out, and blood touches blood.
Ilia da sia: dafawane ilegei amo giadofasa. Ilia da ogogosa amola fane legesa amola wamolasa amola inia uda adole laha. Wadela: i hou da bagade heda: sa amola ilia da fane legesu hou mae fisili hamonana.
3 Therefore the land shall mourn, and everyone who dwells in it shall languish with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens. Yea, the fishes of the sea shall also be taken away.
Amaiba: le, ilia soge da hafoga: i hamoi dagoi ba: mu amola liligi huluane amogawi esalebe da bogogia: i dagoi ba: mu. Ohe huluane amola sio amola menabo huluanedafa da bogogia: i dagoi ba: mu.”
4 Yet, let no man strive, nor let any man reprove, for thy people are as those who strive with the priest.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunudafa ilima mae diwaneya udidima amola gagabole mae sia: ma: ma! Na da dili gobele salasu dunu dilima fawane egane sia: sa.
5 And thou shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night. And I will destroy thy mother.
Esohaga amola gasia dilia da udigili gagaoui agoane hawa: hamonana amola balofede dunu da dili defele hamosa. Na da dilia ame Isala: ili amo wadela: lesimu.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because thou have rejected knowledge, I also will reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me. Since thou have forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy sons.
Na fi dunu da Nama Na da Godedafa hame sia: beba: le, ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Dilia gobele salasu dunu da Nama Na da Godedafa hame sia: sa amola Na olelesu hame naba. Amaiba: le, Na da dilia gofelalia Nama gobele salasu hamoma: ne hame ilegemu.
7 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
Dilia gobele salasu dunu idi da heda: sea, dilia Nama wadela: i hou hamobe da amo defele heda: sa. Amaiba: le, Na da wali dunu da dilima nodosu hou hamosa amo afadenene, ilia dilima higamu, amola dilia da gogosiamu.
8 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
Na fi dunu da wadela: le hamobeba: le, dilia da bagade gaguiwane ba: sa. Amaiba: le, dilia da ili baligiliwane wadela: i hou hamoma: ne, dilia da hanai.
9 And it shall be, like people, like priest. And I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings.
Dilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia se nabasu defele lamu. Na da dilima se imunu. Amola dilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, dilima dabemu.
10 And they shall eat, and not have enough. They shall play the harlot, and shall not increase, because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
Dilia da gobele salasu amoga dilia la: idi amo nanu, bu ha: i ba: mu. Dilia da mano lasu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadomu, be dilia da mano hame lamu. Bai dilia da Nama baligi fa: le, eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima fa: no bobogelala.”
11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu da waini hano yaolo amola gaheabolo bagade nabeba: le, gagaoui agoane hamosa.
12 My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declares to them, for the spirit of whoredom has caused them to err, and they have played the harlot, departing from under their God.
Ilia da udigili ifa amoga hobea misunu hou adole ba: sa. Ifa da ilia dawa: mu hanai liligi ilima adole iaha. Ilia da Na yolesi dagoi. Uda amo da hina: da: i bidi lasu defele, ilila: da: i ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima i dagoi.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow of it is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.
Ilia goumi da: iya sema sogebi amoga gobele salasu hou hamonana amola agolo da: iya ifa sedade amomodai haguduga gabusiga: manoma gobesisa. Bai amo ifa ilia ougiha: i da hisi noga: idafa. Amo hamobeba: le, didiwilali da hina: da: i bidi lasu uda agoane hawa: hamonana, amola dilia nawi ilia da inia dunu adole lasu hou hamosa.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery. For themselves go apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes. And the people who do not understand shall be overthrown.
Be amo hamobeba: le, Na da ilima se hame imunu. Bai dilisu amola da sia: ne gadosu diasu hina: da: i bidi lasu uda amola gilisili lalala amola ili gilisili, hame lalegagui dunu defele, ogogosu gobele salasu hou hamonana. Musa: malasu defele, ‘Dunu fi da asigi dawa: su hame galea, ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.’
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend, and come not ye to Gilgal, nor go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Jehovah lives.
Dilia Isala: ili fi dunu da Nama baligi fa: i dagoi. Be Yuda fi dunu da amo defele hamomu da defea hame. Dilia Giliga: le o Bedele amoma nodone sia: ne gadosu hou mae hamoma. Amola amogawi, Esalalalusu Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le, dafawane ilegele sia: mae sia: ma.
16 For Israel has behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Now Jehovah will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
Isala: ili dunu da ‘miule’ (dougi agoai) amo ilia gawamaga: i hou defele gala. Dunu da gisi noga: i sogega sibi mano ilima ha: i nasu iaha. Be Na da habodane amo defele, Isala: ili dunuma ha: i manudafa ima: bela: ?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols, let him alone.
Isala: ili dunu da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amo ilia gasaga gagulaligi dagoi. Defea! Ilisu ilia logo fodoi amoga masa: ne yolesima!
18 Their drink has become sour. They play the harlot continually. Her rulers dearly love shame.
Ilia waini hano bagade nalu, hahawane hina: da: i bidi lasu hou defele hamonana. Ilia da ilima nodosu hou mae dawa: le, gogosiasu fawane hanai gala.
19 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings, and they shall be put to shame because of their sacrifices.
Ilia da foga mini masunu agoai ba: mu. Amola ilia da hame lalegagui ogogosu gobele salasu hou hamobeba: le, gogosiamu.”
