< Hosea 7 >

1 When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the troop of robbers ravages outside.
yeroo ani Israaʼelin fayyisutti cubbuun Efreem saaxilamee yakki Samaariyaas ifatti baafama. Isaan nama gowwoomsu; hattuun cabsitee mana seenti; saamtonni daandii irratti nama saamu;
2 And they do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own doings have surrounded them; they are before my face.
isaan garuu akka ani jalʼina isaanii hunda yaadadhu hin hubatan. Cubbuun isaanii isaan marseera; yeroo hundas fuula koo dura jira.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the rulers with their lies.
“Isaan hammina isaaniitiin mootii, soba isaaniitiin immoo ilmaan mootii gammachiisu.
4 They are all adulterers. They are as an oven heated by the baker. He ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Isaan hundinuu ejjitoota, akkuma badaa ibiddaa kan tolchituun tokko yeroo bukoo sukkuumanii jalqabee hamma inni bukaaʼutti itti tuttuquu hin barbaannee ti.
5 On the day of our king the rulers made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
Guyyaa ayyaana mootii keenyaatti ilmaan moototaa daadhii wayiniitiin finiinan; innis qoostota wajjin harka isaa diriirsa.
6 For they have made their heart ready like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
Akkuma badaa ibiddaatti garaa isaanii qopheessaniiru; isaan dabaan gara isaatti dhiʼaatu. Aariin isaanii halkan guutuu irraa hin galu; ganama immoo akkuma arraba ibiddaa balaliʼa.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings are fallen. There is none among those who call to me.
Hundi isaanii akkuma badaa ibiddaa hoʼu; bulchitoota isaaniis ni fixu. Mootonni isaanii hundinuu ni dhumu; tokkoon isaanii iyyuu na hin waammatan.
8 Ephraim, he mixes himself among the peoples. Ephraim is a cake not turned.
“Efreem sabootaan walitti makama; Efreem maxinoo gara hin galfaminii dha.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he does not know. Yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he does not know.
Namoonni ormaa humna isaa nyaatan; inni garuu hin hubatu. Arriin isatti baʼe; inni garuu hin beeku.
10 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Yet they have not returned to Jehovah their God, nor sought him for all this.
Of tuulummaan Israaʼel dhugaa isatti baʼa; inni garuu utuu wanni kun hundi akkana taʼee jiruu, gara Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatti hin deebiʼu yookaan isa hin barbaaddatu.
11 And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
“Efreem akkuma gugee gowwaa sammuu hin qabnee ti; isaan Gibxin waammatu; isaan gara Asooritti deebiʼu.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them. I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
Yommuu isaan deeman ani kiyyoo koo isaan irra nan buusa; ani akkuma simbirroo samii gad isaan nan harkisa. Ani yommuun akka isaan walii wajjin yaaʼan dhagaʼutti, isaan nan qaba.
13 Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Waan narraa goraniif isaaniif wayyoo! Waan natti fincilaniif badiisni isaaniif mala! Ani isaan furuu nan barbaada; isaan garuu waaʼee koo soba dubbatu.
14 And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They rebel against me.
Isaan garaa isaanii guutuudhaan gara kootti hin iyyatan; garuu siree isaanii irra tataaʼanii booʼu. Isaan midhaanii fi daadhii wayiniitiif walitti qabamu; garuu natti fincilu.
15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they devise mischief against me.
Ani leenjiseen irree isaanii jajjabeesse; isaan garuu waan hamaa natti yaadu.
16 They return, but not to him on high. They are like a deceitful bow. Their rulers shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Isaan gara Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitti hin deebiʼan; isaan akkuma xiyya jalʼatee ti. Hooggantoonni isaanii sababii soba dubbataniif goraadeedhaan dhumu. Sababii kanaaf isaan biyya Gibxitti ni tuffatamu.
