< 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.
Izrel bụ osisi vaịnị dị mma, nke na-amịta mkpụrụ nke ukwuu. Dịka mkpụrụ ya na-aba ụba, otu a ka o si amụba ebe ịchụ aja ya. Dịka ala ya na-abawanyekwa ụba otu a ka o si edoziri onwe ya nkume dị nsọ.
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.
Obi ha dị aghụghọ, ma ugbu a, ha ga-ata ahụhụ maka ikpe ọmụma ha. Onyenwe anyị ga-akwatu ebe nchụaja ha, ma mebikwaa ogidi nkume nsọ ha niile.
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?
Ma ugbu a, ha ga-asị, “Anyị enweghị eze, nʼihi na anyị anaghị atụ Onyenwe anyị egwu, ma olee ihe eze nwere ike ị mere anyị?”
4 Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.
Ha na-ekwu okwu na-abaghị uru, were ịṅụ iyi na-agbakwa ndụ, ya mere ikpe ikpe jiri jupụta nʼebe niile, dịka ahịhịa ọjọọ nʼubi.
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.
Ndị bi na Sameria ga-atụ ụjọ nʼihi chi nke nwa ehi a kpụrụ akpụ dị na Bet-Aven. Ndị ya ga-eruru ya ụjụ, otu a kwa ka ndị nchụaja ya rụrụ arụ ga-esi ruoru ya ụjụ, maka ebube nke a napụrụ ya.
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.
Ha ga-eburu ha gaa Asịrịa, dịka onyinye ịnata ihuọma a ga-enye eze ukwu ahụ. A ga-emenye Ifrem ihere nʼihu, Izrel ga-ekpudokwa ihu nʼala maka mmekọrịta ya na ndị mba ọzọ.
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off, like mist on the water.
A ga-ala eze Sameria nʼiyi dịka irighiri osisi nʼelu mmiri niile,
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.
a ga-ebibicha ebe niile dị elu nke ihe ọjọọ, bụ Aven, ọ bụ ya bụ mmehie ndị Izrel, ogwu na uke ga-etolitekwa, nʼebe nchụaja ha. Mgbe ahụ ha ga-asị, ugwu ukwu niile, “Kpuchite anyị!” Sịkwa ugwu nta niile, “Dakwasị anyị!”
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.
“Site nʼụbọchị nke Gibea, gị Izrel nọ na mmehie, i nwebeghị ike site na mmehie ndị a wezuga onwe gị. Ọ bụ na agha agaghị eri ha bụ ndị na-eme ajọọ omume na 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.
Aga m abịa buso ndị mmehie a agha, nye ya ahụhụ; mba ndị ọzọ ga-ebilite megide ha, taa ha ahụhụ nʼihi ajọ omume abụọ ha.
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.
Ifrem bụ nne ehi a zụrụ azụ nke hụrụ ịzọcha ọka nʼanya, nʼihi ya, M ga-ekonye ịyagba nʼolu nʼolu ọma ya ahụ. Aga m agba Ifrem dịka ịnyịnya, Juda aghaghị ịkọ ala ubi Jekọb ga-akọze ala nye onwe ya.
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.
Ya mere, ghaanụ mkpụrụ ezi omume maka onwe unu, unu ga-aghọtakwa mkpụrụ ịhụnanya. Kọgharịakwanụ obi unu siri ike, nʼihi na ugbu a bụ oge ịchọ Onyenwe anyị, tutu ruo mgbe ọ bịara wụkwasị unu mmiri ozuzo dịka ezi omume.
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.
Ma unu akụọla mkpụrụ ajọ omume; unu aghọtakwala ihe ọjọọ dịka ihe ubi. Unu eriela mkpụrụ osisi ụgha. Nʼihi na unu atụkwasịla obi unu nʼịdị ike nke onwe unu, na nʼịdị ọtụtụ nke ndị bụ dike nʼagha unu.
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.
Nʼihi ya, ụzụ nke ibu agha aghaghị ibili nʼetiti unu, ebe unu niile e wusiri ike ga-ada. Ọ ga-ada dịka Shalman si bibie Bet Abel nʼụbọchị agha, mgbe a tụpịara ndị bụ nne na ụmụ ha.
15 So will Beth-el do to you because of your evil-doing; at dawn will the king of Israel be cut off completely.
Ọ bụ ihe dị otu a ga-adakwasị gị, Betel, nʼihi na ajọ omume gị dị ukwuu. Mgbe chi ụbọchị ahụ bọrọ, a ga-ala eze Izrel nʼiyi kpamkpam.
