< Hosea 10 >
1 Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.
Isiraeli aarĩ ta mũthabibũ watheeremaga, nake agĩĩciarĩra maciaro. O ũrĩa maciaro make maingĩhaga-rĩ, noguo nake aakaga igongona nyingĩ; o ũrĩa bũrũri wake wagaacagĩra-rĩ, noguo aagemagia mahiga make marĩa maamũre ma kũhooyagwo.
2 Their mind is taken away; now they will be made waste: he will have their altars broken down, he will give their pillars to destruction.
Ngoro ciao nĩ cia maheeni, na rĩu no nginya marĩhio wĩhia wao. Jehova nĩakamomora igongona ciao, na athũkangie mahiga macio mao maamũre ma kũhooyagwo.
3 Now, truly, they will say, We have no king, we have no fear of the Lord; and the king, what is he able to do for us?
Ningĩ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “Tũtirĩ na mũthamaki, tondũ tũtiigana gũtĩĩa Jehova. No o na korwo twarĩ na mũthamaki-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩahotire gũtwĩkĩra?”
4 Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.
Meranagĩra ciĩranĩro nyingĩ, na makehĩta mĩĩhĩtwa ya maheeni, na magathondeka irĩkanĩro; nĩ ũndũ ũcio maciira makunũkaga ta mahuti marĩ ũrogi marĩa mameraga hianyũ-inĩ.
5 The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight.
Andũ arĩa matũũraga Samaria metangaga nĩ ũndũ wa mũhianano wa njaũ ĩrĩa ya Bethi-Aveni. Amu andũ akuo nĩmakamĩcakaĩra, na noguo athĩnjĩri-ngai a mĩhianano ĩyo mageeka arĩa makenagĩra riiri wayo, tondũ nĩyeheretio kuuma kũrĩ o, ĩgathaamĩrio kũndũ kũngĩ.
6 And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.
Nayo ĩgaatwarwo Ashuri, ĩtuĩke kĩheo kũrĩ mũthamaki ũcio mũnene. Efiraimu nĩagaconorithio; Isiraeli nake nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yake ya mĩtĩ.
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off, like mist on the water.
Samaria na mũthamaki wakuo magaathererio ta karũhonge karĩ igũrũ wa maaĩ, maniinwo.
8 And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.
Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwĩkagĩrwo waganu nĩgũkanangwo, na nĩkuo kwene wĩhia wa Isiraeli. Mĩigua na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ nĩcio igaakũra kuo, nacio ihumbĩre igongona ciao. Nao andũ nĩmakeera irĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũhumbĩrei!” na macooke meere tũrĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩrei!”
9 O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah.
“Wee Isiraeli-rĩ, kuuma o matukũ-inĩ ma Gibea ũtũũrĩte wĩhagia, na ũguo noguo ũtũũraga. Githĩ mbaara ndĩakinyĩire eeki ũũru kũu Gibea?
10 I will come and give them punishment; and the peoples will come together against them when I give them the reward of their two sins.
Rĩrĩa niĩ ngenda, nĩngamaherithia; ndũrĩrĩ nĩigacookanĩrĩra, imokĩrĩre nĩguo imoohe imatahe nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao kũingĩha.
11 And Ephraim is a trained cow, taking pleasure in crushing the grain; but I have put a yoke on her fair neck; I will put a horseman on the back of Ephraim; Judah will be working the plough, Jacob will be turning up the earth.
Efiraimu nĩ moori menyerie wĩra ĩrĩa yendete gũkonyora ngano; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamĩoha icooki ngingo-inĩ yayo thaka. Nĩngatwarithia Efiraimu, Juda no nginya agaacimba na mũraũ, nake Jakubu no nginya agaacimba gĩtira.
12 Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.
Rĩu-rĩ, mwĩhaandĩrei ũhoro wa ũthingu, nĩguo mwĩgethere maciaro ma wendo ũtathiraga, na mũciimbe mĩgũnda yanyu ya ngamba; nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩ ikinyu rĩa kũrongooria Jehova, nginya rĩrĩa agooka, oirie mbura ya ũthingu igũrũ rĩanyu.
13 You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.
No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũhaandĩte waganu, mũkagetha ũũru; inyuĩ mũrĩĩte maciaro ma maheeni. Tondũ mwĩhokaga hinya wanyu inyuĩ ene, o na wa njamba cianyu nyingĩ cia ita-rĩ,
14 So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.
mũrurumo wa mbaara nĩũgokĩrĩra andũ aku. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ciikaro ciaku iria nũmu nĩikaanangwo, o ta ũrĩa Shalimani aanangire Bethi-Arabeli mũthenya ũrĩa wa mbaara, rĩrĩa manyina ma twana maatungumanirio thĩ hamwe na twana twao.
15 So will Beth-el do to you because of your evil-doing; at dawn will the king of Israel be cut off completely.
Ũguo noguo ũgeekwo wee Betheli, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu waku mũnene. Rĩrĩa mũthenya ũcio ũgaakĩa-rĩ, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakaniinwo biũ.
