Hosea 13
1 When the words of my law came from Ephraim, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he did evil through the Baal, death overtook him.
Yeroo Efreem dubbatetti namoonni ni hollatan; inni Israaʼel keessatti ol ol jedhee ture. Garuu yakka Baʼaalin waaqeffachuutiin duʼe.
2 And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.
Isaan ammas itti deddeebiʼanii cubbuu hojjetu; meetii ofii isaaniitiin waaqa tolfamaa tolfatu; fakkii mimmiidhagaa kanneen hundi isaanii harka ogeeyyiitiin hojjetaman. Waaʼee saba kanaas, “Isaan nama qalanii aarsaa dhiʼeessu; waaqa tolfamaa jabbiis ni dhungatu!” jedhame.
3 So they will be like the morning cloud, like the dew which goes early away, like the dust of the grain which the wind is driving out of the crushing-floor, like smoke going up from the fireplace.
Kanaafuu isaan akkuma hurrii ganamaa, akkuma fixeensa barii baduu, akkuma habaqii oobdii midhaan itti dhaʼan irraa kaʼuu akkuma aara foddaadhaan baʼuu ni taʼu.
4 But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt; you have knowledge of no other God and there is no saviour but me.
“Ani garuu yeroo ati Gibxii baatee jalqabee Waaqayyo Waaqa kee ti. Ati ana malee Waaqa tokko illee beekuu hin qabdu; ana malee fayyisaa tokko illee hin qabdu.
5 I had knowledge of you in the waste land where no water was.
Ani gammoojjii keessatti, biyya hoʼa gubaa keessatti si kunuunseera.
6 When I gave them food they were full, and their hearts were full of pride, and they did not keep me in mind.
Yeroo ani isaan sooretti ni quufan; isaan yeroo quufanitti of tuulan; ergasii immoo na irraanfatan.
7 So I will be like a lion to them; as a cruel beast I will keep watch by the road;
Kanaafuu ani akkuma leencaa isaanitti nan taʼa; akkuma qeerransaa riphee daandii irratti isaan nan eeggadha.
8 I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.
Ani akkuma amaaketa ilmaan ishee jalaa fudhatamaniitti isaan lolee garaa isaanii nan baqaqsa. Ani akkuma leencaatti qorqee isaan nan nyaadha; bineensi bosonaa gargar isaan ciccira.
9 I have sent destruction on you, O Israel; who will be your helper?
“Yaa Israaʼel, waan ana gargaaraa kee mormiteef ati baddeerta.
10 Where is your king, that he may be your saviour? and all your rulers, that they may take up your cause? of whom you said, Give me a king and rulers.
Akka si oolchuuf mootiin kee eessa jira? Bulchitoonni kee warri magaalaa kee hunda keessaa kanneen ati, ‘Mootii fi ilmaan moototaa naaf kenni’ jettee kadhatte sun eessa jiru?
11 I have given you a king, because I was angry, and have taken him away in my wrath.
Ani aarii kootiin mootii siifan kenne; dheekkamsa kootiin immoo isa sirraa nan fudhadhe.
12 The wrongdoing of Ephraim is shut up; his sin is put away in secret.
Balleessaan Efreem walitti kuufamee cubbuun isaas galmeeffameera.
13 The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.
Miixuun akkuma dubartii ciniinsuun qabatteetti isatti dhufa; inni garuu daaʼima wallaalaa dha; inni yommuu yeroon gaʼutti, gadameessa keessaa baʼuu hin fedhu.
14 I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity. (Sheol h7585)
“Ani saba kana humna awwaalaa jalaa nan baraara; duʼa jalaa isaan nan baasa. Yaa duʼa, dhaʼichi kee meerre? Yaa awwaala, balleessuun kee meerre? “Ani gara laafina tokko illee hin qabaadhu; (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he gives fruit among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the waste land, and his spring will become dry, his fountain will be without water: it will make waste the store of all the vessels of his desire.
Yoo inni obboloota ofii gidduu jireenya tolaa jiraate iyyuu, bubbeen baʼaa Waaqayyo biraa ni dhufa; lafa gammoojjii keessaa ni bubbisa; burqaan isaa bishaan dhaba; boolli bishaan isaas ni goga. Mankuusni isaa, qabeenyi inni qabu hundis ni saamama.
16 Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open.
Sabni Samaariyaa waan Waaqa isaatti fincileef gatii balleessaa isaa ni argata. Isaan goraadeedhaan dhumu; daaʼimman isaanii lafatti harcaafamu; dubartoonni isaanii kanneen ulfa qabanis ni baqaqfamu.”
