Hosea 10
1 Israel was a luxuriant vine, yielding fruit for himself. The more his fruit increased, the more he increased the altars. The better his land produced, the better he made the sacred pillars.
Israel ne en mzabibu malandore; ne onyago olembene owuon. Ka olembene ne medore, nomedo gero kende mag misango; kendo ka pinye ne medo mewo, to nomedo loso kido milamo.
2 Their hearts are devious; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars and demolish their sacred pillars.
Chunygi opongʼ gi miriambo kendo koro nyaka gitingʼ mana kum marom kodgi. Jehova Nyasaye nomuk kendegi mag misango kendo kitegi ma gilamo bende nokethi.
3 Surely now they will say, “We have no king, for we do not revere the LORD. What can a king do for us?”
Eka giniwachi, “Waonge ruoth nikech watamore miyo Jehova Nyasaye luor. To kata kane wan gi ruoth, to dotimonwa angʼo?”
4 They speak mere words; with false oaths they make covenants. So judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
Githoro wacho weche manono ka gikwongʼore gi miriambo, kendo giloso winjruok ma ok nyal konyogi; emomiyo buche mag larruok medore mana ka buya malandore e puothe mosepur.
5 The people of Samaria will fear for the calf of Beth-aven. Indeed, its people will mourn with its idolatrous priests— those who rejoiced in its glory— for it has been taken from them into exile.
Ji modak Samaria luoro osemako nikech nyaroya molos gi dhahabu mar Beth Aven. Joge noywage, kamano bende e kaka jodologe malamo nyiseche manono noywage, mago mosebedo gi mor kuom berne nikech osegole kuomgi kitere e twech.
6 Yes, it will be carried to Assyria as tribute to the great king. Ephraim will be seized with shame; Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols.
Enotingʼe kitere Asuria kaka mich ne ruoth maduongʼ. Efraim noma duongʼne to Israel nokuod wiye nikech nyisechene molos gi bao.
7 Samaria will be carried off with her king like a twig on the surface of the water.
Samaria kod ruodhige nolew gi malo mana ka bad yien malewo gi malo ewi pi.
8 The high places of Aven will be destroyed— it is the sin of Israel; thorns and thistles will overgrow their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
Kuonde motingʼore malo mag anjawo nokethi, en emomiyo jo-Israel timo richo. Kuthe kod buya ema biro dongo maim kendegi mag misango. Eka giniwach ne gode madongo niya, “Umwauru!” Kendo ne gode matindo niya, “Rwombreuru kuomwa!”
9 Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, and there you have remained. Did not the battle in Gibeah overtake the sons of iniquity?
“Nyaka aa ndalo mar Gibea, isebedo ka itimo richo, yaye Israel, to kanyo ema isesike. Donge lweny notieko jotim richo man Gibea?
10 I will chasten them when I please; nations will be gathered against them to put them in bondage for their double transgression.
Ka ahero to abiro kumogi; ogendini nonywaknegi, maketgi e twech kuom richogi duto.
11 Ephraim is a well-trained heifer that loves to thresh; but I will place a yoke on her fair neck. I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, and Jacob will break the hard ground.
Efraim en nyaroya mobo mohero dino cham; omiyo anatwe jok e ngʼute maberno. Anariemb Efraim, to Juda nyaka pur, kendo Jakobo biro baro lowo.
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness and reap the fruit of loving devotion; break up your unplowed ground. For it is time to seek the LORD until He comes and sends righteousness upon you like rain.
Chwouru adiera ne un uwegi, kaa-uru olemo mar hera ma ok rum, kendo baruru lopu mapok opur, nimar en kinde mar manyo Jehova Nyasaye, nyaka chop ool tim makare kuomu.
13 You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your mighty men,
To nikech usechwoyo anjawo, usekayo timbe maricho, kendo usechamo olemb miriambo. Nikech usegeno kuom tekou uwegi kendo kuom jolwenju mangʼeny,
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be demolished as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children.
kuom mano koko mar lweny biro monjo jou, ma mi kuondeu mochiel motegno nomuki, mana kaka Shalman nomuko Beth Arbel e odiechieng lweny, kama mine kod nyithindgi nodhir mopodho.
15 Thus it will be done to you, O Bethel, because of your great wickedness. When the day dawns, the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.
Ma e kaka notimre ne un bende, yaye Bethel, nikech anjawo maru duongʼ. Ka odiechiengno ochopo, ruodh Israel notiek chuth.”
