Hosea 12
1 Ephraim chases the wind and pursues the east wind all day long; he multiplies lies and violence; he makes a covenant with Assyria and sends olive oil to Egypt.
Hawa: hamosu huluane Isala: ili dunu da hahabe ganini asili gasia hamobe, da hamedei amola wadela: idafa ba: sa. Lelesu hou amola gugunufinisisu hou da bagade heda: sa. Ilia da Asilia fi ilima gousa: su hamosa, amola Idibidi fi ilima bidi lasu hou hamosa.”
2 The LORD also brings a charge against Judah. He will punish Jacob according to his ways and repay him according to his deeds.
Hina Gode da Yuda fi ilima diwaneya udidimu gala. Amola Isala: ili fi ilia hamobeba: le, E da ilima se dabe imunu. Ilia hamobeba: le, E da ilima dabemu.
3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel, and in his vigor he wrestled with God.
Ilia aowalalia eda Ya: igobe amola Iso ela da gilisili ela ame ea hagomo ganodini esala, ela da ludui. Ya: igobe da asigilaloba, e da Godema ludui.
4 Yes, he struggled with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought His favor; he found Him at Bethel and spoke with Him there —
E da a: igele dunuma luduli, osa: le heda: i. E da dinanu, a:igele dunu ema hahawane dogolegele ima: ne adole ba: i. Amola Bedele sogega, Gode da ninia aowalali dunu Ya: igobe ema misini, ema sia: i.
5 the LORD is the God of Hosts— the LORD is His name of renown.
Amo Gode da Hina Gode Bagadedafa. Ninia da Ema nodone sia: ne gadosea, Hina Gode Dio amoga sia: ne gadoma: mu.
6 But you must return to your God, maintaining love and justice, and always waiting on your God.
Amaiba: le, dilia Ya: igobe egaga fi! Dilia Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: ma, amola Ema sinidigima! Ema madela: gili, moloidafa hou hamoma. Amola Gode Ea hawa: hamosu ba: ma: ne, gebewane ouesaloma.
7 A merchant loves to defraud with dishonest scales in his hands.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunu da Ga: ina: ne dunu defele, gigiadofasu hou hamonana. Ilia da hanaiba: le ilima bidi lasu dunu ilima ogogosa. Ilia dioi defei ba: su liligi da giadofale dioi defei olelesa.
8 And Ephraim boasts: “How rich I have become! I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors, they can find in me no iniquity that is sinful.”
Ilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Defea! Ninia da bagade gagui gala. Amola ninia da dunu eno ilima liligi ogogole bidilaiba: le, ilia da ninima diwaneya udidimu da hamedei.’
9 But I am the LORD your God ever since the land of Egypt. I will again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed feast.
Be Na, dilia Hina Gode, Na da dili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, ga oule misi. Amola, dilia da hafoga: i soge ganodini, abula diasuga esalea, Na da dilima misi. Na hamomuba: le, dilia da bu abula diasu ganodini esalebe ba: mu.
10 I spoke through the prophets and multiplied their visions; I gave parables through the prophets.
Na da balofede dunu ilima sia: ne, ilima esala ba: su bagohame amoga olelei. Ilia lafidili, Na da Na fi dunuma sisasu bagohame olelei.
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? They will surely come to nothing. Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal? Indeed, their altars will be heaps of stones in the furrows of the field.
Be dilia da Gilia: de sogega, loboga hamoi ogogole ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadolala. Amo hou hamosu dunu da bogosu ba: mu. Dilia da bulamagau gawali Giliga: le sogega gobele sala. Be amogawi, oloda huluane da ma: buale, igi fawane gegedole legei ba: mu.”
12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram and Israel worked for a wife— for a wife he tended sheep.
Ninia aowalali eda, Ya: igobe, da hemonega Mesoubouda: imia sogega hobea: i. Amogawi, e da uda lamusa: , dunu eno ea sibi ouligisu hawa: hamosu.
13 But by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu Idibidi soge ganodini udigili hawa: hamonana esalu, amo gaga: ma: ne amola ouligima: ne, balofede dunu asunasi.
14 Ephraim has provoked bitter anger, so his Lord will leave his bloodguilt upon him and repay him for his contempt.
Isala: ili dunu ilia hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da ougi bagade gala. Ilia da wadela: le hamoiba: le, bogosu dabe lamu da defea. Ilia da Ema gogosiasu iabeba: le, Hina Gode da ilima se dabe imunu.
