Hosea 8
1 Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.
“Ket turumbete e dhogi mondo igo! Ongo ni ewi od Jehova Nyasaye, nikech ji oseketho singruokna kendo gisekwedo chikna.
2 Israel cries out to Me, “O our God, we know You!”
Jo-Israel noywakna niya, ‘Yaye Nyasachwa, wayangi!’
3 But Israel has rejected good; an enemy will pursue him.
To wasigu biro lawo Israel nikech gisekwedo gima ber.
4 They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.
Giketo ruodhi e loch ka ok gipenja; kendo giyiero jotelo ka ok gingʼeyo parona. Giloso nyiseche manono kuom fedha gi dhahabu ma gin-go, to magi kelonegi mana kethruok.
5 He has rejected your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
Yaye Samaria, wit oko nyasachi mar nyaroya! Mirimba ger kodgi. Nyaka karangʼo ma ok ginyal bedo maler?
6 For this thing is from Israel— a craftsman made it, and it is not God. It will be broken to pieces, that calf of Samaria.
Gin joma oa Israel! Nyaroyani oselos mana gi lwet dhano omiyo ok en Nyasaye. Nyaroya mar Samaria-no noto matindo tindo.
7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if it should produce, the foreigners would swallow it up.
“Gichwoyo yamo to gikayo kalausi. Gin gi cham ma ok ket wiye; kendo ok onyal kelo mogo. To kane onyalo nyago cham, to jopinje mamoko dochame duto.
8 Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like a worthless vessel.
Israel osetiek duto; kendo sani en e kind ogendini, mana kaka gima nono.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey on its own. Ephraim has hired lovers.
Gisedhi nyaka Asuria mana kaka kanyna mar bungu mabayo abaya. Efraim oseusore ne joherane.
10 Though they hire allies among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to diminish under the oppression of the king of princes.
Kata obedo ni giseusore kendgi e kind ogendini, abiro chokogi kaachiel. Gibiro lal nono kendo enosandgi e bwo loch mar ruoth maratego.
11 Though Ephraim multiplied the altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.
“Kata ka obedo ni Efraim nogero kende mangʼeny mag misango mar golo richo, kendegi osebedo mar timo richo.
12 Though I wrote for them the great things of My law, they regarded them as something strange.
Ne andiko negi gik mangʼeny mag chikena, to ne gikawogi kaka gigo ma welo kuomgi.
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.
Gichiwo misengni mokelna kendo gichamo ring misenginigo, to Jehova Nyasaye ok mor kodgi. Omiyo sani obiro paro anjawo ma gitimo kendo enokumgi kuom richogi. Ginidogi Misri.
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has multiplied its fortified cities. But I will send fire upon their cities, and it will consume their citadels.
Jo-Israel wigi osewil gi Jachwechgi, mi gigero ute mag ruodhi; Juda osechielo mier madongo mangʼeny. To anaor mach e miechgi madongogo mitiek kargi mar pondono.”
