Hosea 5
1 Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.
“Winjuru ma, un jodolo! Chikuru itu, un jo-Israel! Winjuru, yaye jood ruoth! Kumni obironu: Usebedo obadho e Mizpa, gogo mopedhi ewi Tabor.
2 They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.
Joma ongʼanyo ni e tho malich. Abiro kumogi giduto.
3 I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.
Angʼeyo gik moko duto kuom Efraim; onge gima opondona kuom jo-Israel. Efraim, un to usedoko kaka ochot; to jo-Israel timo timbe modwanyore.
4 Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.
“Timbegi omonogi duogo ir Nyasachgi. Tim marach mar chode ni e chunygi; ok giyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
5 And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.
Sungruok mar jo-Israel nyiso rachgi; jo-Israel kaachiel gi Efraim podho e richogi; kendo jo-Juda bende podho kodgi.
6 They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.
Ka gidhi gi kweth dhogi kaachiel gi chiachgi mondo gitim misengni ni Jehova Nyasaye, to ok giniyude nikech osewuok moa kuomgi.
7 They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
Gisebedo joma ok jo-adiera ni Jehova Nyasaye; ginywolo nyithindo ma kimirwa. Sewni ma gitimo ka dwe owuok biro tiekogi kaachiel gi puothegi.
8 Let the horn be sounded in Gibeah and in Ramah; give a loud cry in Beth-aven, They are after you, O Benjamin.
“Gouru turumbete e dala mar Gibea, gouru abu e dala mar Rama. Gouru nduru mar lweny e dala mar Beth Aven; yaye, jo-Benjamin teluru.
9 Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.
Efraim biro bet gunda ka chiengʼ makumogie ochopo. Alando gima nyaka timre e kind dhout Israel.
10 The rulers of Judah are like those who take away a landmark; I will let loose my wrath on them like flowing water.
Jotend Juda chalo gi joma ochoro kite man e kiewo. Abiro olo mirimba kuomgi mana ka pi oula.
11 Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.
Jo-Efraim ibiro toyo ka bura oloyogi, nikech giketo chunygi mar luwo nyiseche manono.
12 And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.
Achalo gi oguyo ne jo-Efraim, achalo gima otop ne jo-Juda.
13 When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.
“Ka Efraim noneno tuone, kendo Juda oneno adhondene, eka Efraim nodwaro kony kuom Asuria, kendo gikwayo kony ir ruoth maduongʼ. To ok onyal thiedhou, ok onyal thiedho adhondeu.
14 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.
Abiro bedo ka sibuor ni Efraim, kaka sibuor malich ni Juda. Abiro kidhogi matindo tindo bangʼe to abiro weyogi. Anatingʼ-gi matergi mabor, maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi.
15 I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.
Bangʼe to anadog kar dakna, nyaka chop kinde maginiyie ni giseketho. Giniduog ira ka gidwara gi chunygi duto nikech thagruok malit magiseyudo.”
