Osee 4
1 Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jo-Israel, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nigi wach modonjonugo, un ji modak e piny: “Onge adiera, onge hera, bende udagi yie ni Nyasaye nitie e piny.
2 Cursing, and lying, and murder, and theft, and adultery abound in the land, and they mingle blood with blood.
Nitie mana kwongʼ, miriambo kod nek, kuo gi chode; kendo giketho singruok duto, kendo chwero remo timore monwore.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and shall be diminished with all that dwell in it, with the wild beasts of the field, and the reptiles of the earth, and with the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea shall fail:
Nikech ma, piny opongʼ gi kuyo kendo ji modak e iye dhero kendo tho; ondiegi manie thim gi winy mafuyo e kor polo gi rech manie nembe tho.
4 that neither any one may plead, nor any one reprove [another]; but my people are as a priest spoken against.
“Kik ngʼato kel wach mar donjo, kik ngʼato donjne wadgi, nimar jou chalo mana ka joma donjo ni jadolo.
5 Therefore they shall fall by day, and the prophet with you shall fall: I have compared your mother to night.
Uchwanyoru odiechiengʼ gotieno to jonabi bende chwanyore mana kaka un. Omiyo abiro tieko minu.
6 My people are like as if they had no knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall not minister as priest to me: and [as] you has forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
Joga itieko nikech chando ngʼeyo. “Nikech utamoru dwaro ngʼeyo, an bende adagiu kaka jodolona; nikech usejwangʼo chike mag Nyasachu, an bende anajwangʼ nyithindu.
7 According to their multitude, so they sinned against me: I will turn their glory into shame.
Kaka jodolo medore, e kaka gimedo timo richo e nyima; gisewilo duongʼ margi gi gima kelo wichkuot.
8 They will devour the sins of my people, and will set their hearts on their iniquities.
Giyiengʼ gi richo mag joga, bende gimor gi timbegi maricho.
9 And the priest shall be as the people: and I will avenge on them their ways, and I will recompense to them their counsels.
Kendo obiro bet ni: Kaka ji chalo e kaka jodolo bende chalo. To abiro kumogi kuom yoregigo, kendo anachulgi machal gi timbegi.
10 And they shall eat, and shall not be satisfied: they have gone a-whoring, and shall by no means prosper: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
“Gibiro chiemo to ok giniyiengʼ; gibiro chodo to ok gini nywolre, nikech giseweyo Jehova Nyasaye, mondo gichiwre
11 The heart of my people has gladly engaged in fornication and wine and strong drink.
ne chode, ne kongʼo machon kod kongʼo manyien, magolo winjo mar joga.
12 They asked counsel by [means of] signs, and they reported answer to them by their staves: they have gone astray in a spirit of whoredom, and gone grievously a-whoring from their God.
Gipenjo wach kuom nyasaye molos gi bao kendo idwokogi gi yien mopa. Chuny mar chode terogi mabor; ok gin jo-adier ne Nyasachgi.
13 They have sacrificed on the tops of the mountains, and on the hills they have sacrificed under the oak and poplar, and under the shady tree, because the shade was good: therefore your daughters shall go a-whoring, and your daughters-in-law shall commit adultery.
Gitimo misango ewi gode maboyo kendo gitimo Sewni kuonde motingʼore gi malo, e tiend yiend ober, gi omburi kod yiende mamoko madongo dongo kendo boyo, kama otimo tipo maber. Emomiyo nyiu lokore ochode to mond yawuotu to donjo e chode.
14 And I will not visit upon your daughters when they shall commit fornication, nor your daughters-in-law when they shall commit adultery: for they themselves mingled themselves with harlots, and sacrificed with polluted ones, and the people that understood not entangled itself with a harlot.
“Ok anakum nyiu ka gibedo ochode, kata mond yawuotu ka terore, nikech chwo giwegi ema dhi ir mon ma jochode, gi mon manie hekalu mar Baal. Joma onge ngʼeyo biro yudo chandruok!
15 But you, O Israel, be not ignorant, and go you not, [men of] Juda, to Galgala; and go not up to the house of On, and swear not by the living Lord.
“Yaye Israel, kata obedo ni utimo anjawo mar chode, kik umi Juda donj e timbego. “Kik udhi Gilgal; kik udhi Beth Aven. Kendo kik ukwongʼru kuwacho niya, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima!’
16 For Israel was maddened like a mad heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a wide place.
Jo-Israel wigi tek mana ka roya bwongʼ ma wiye tek. Ere kaka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo kwayogi e lek kaka ikwayo rombe e lek man-gi lum?
17 Ephraim, joined with idols, has laid stumbling blocks in his own way.
Jo-Efraim oriwore gi nyiseche manono; weyeuru kamano!
18 He has chosen the Chananites: they have grievously gone a-whoring: they have loved dishonour through her insolence.
Kata ka kong-gi orumo, to gidhi nyime gi timbegi mag chode; jotendgi ohero timbe makelo wichkuot.
19 You are a blast of wind in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
Kalausi biro tingʼogi matergi mabor, kendo misenginigi nokelnegi wichkuot.”
