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.
Oasr kas toasr lun LEUM GOD lain mwet su muta in acn se inge. Israel, porongo ma El fahk: “Wangin inse pwaye ku kulang fin acn uh, ac mwet uh tiana etu ke God.
2 Cursing, and lying, and murder, and theft, and adultery abound in the land, and they mingle blood with blood.
Elos orala wulela ac kunausla. Elos kikiap, akmas, pisrapasr ac kosro. Ma koluk uh yokelik, ac akmas uh fususeni.
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:
Ke ma inge kof fin acn uh ac fah wanginla, ac ma nukewa fin acn uh ac fah misa. Kain kosro nukewa ac won uh, oayapa ik, ac fah misa.”
4 that neither any one may plead, nor any one reprove [another]; but my people are as a priest spoken against.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos in tia sufan kutena mwet ku kaelos — kowos mwet tol pa nga lain uh.
5 Therefore they shall fall by day, and the prophet with you shall fall: I have compared your mother to night.
Kowos tukulkul na ke len ac fong, ac mwet palu elos oapana kowos, tukulkul na. Nga fah kunausla Israel, su nina kiowos.
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.
Mwet luk elos ac fah lisyukla mweyen wangin etu lalos keik. Kowos mwet tol, kowos tia pac eteyu, ac kowos pilesru luti luk. Ke ma inge, nga fah pilesrekowos ac nga fah tia akilen wen nutuwos su pangon mu elos mwet tol luk.
7 According to their multitude, so they sinned against me: I will turn their glory into shame.
“Ke pisen mwet tol uh puseni, ma koluk lainyu uh yokelik pac; ke ma inge nga fah ekulla fulat lowos nu ke mwekin.
8 They will devour the sins of my people, and will set their hearts on their iniquities.
Kowos kasrupi ke sripen ma koluk lun mwet luk, ouinge kowos lungse tuh ma koluk lalos in yokelik na.
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.
Mwe kai nu sin mwet uh ac fah orek pac nu suwos. Nga fah kai kowos ac kowos fah eis molin ma koluk lowos.
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.
Kowos fah mongo ac tia kihpi. Kowos fah orek kosro ke nien alu lun mwet pegan in oasr tulik nutuwos, tuh ac fah wangin tulik nutuwos, mweyen kowos forla likiyu in fahsr tukun god saya.”
11 The heart of my people has gladly engaged in fornication and wine and strong drink.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wain mah ac wain sasu, kewa na akwelye nunak lun mwet luk.
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.
Elos sukok kas in kasru sin sie polosak! Ac elos nunku mu soko sikal sak ku in fahk nu selos ma elos ke etu. Elos sisyula. Oana sie mutan su orek kosro ac eis molin kosro lal, elos eisalosyang sifacna nu sin god ngia.
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.
Elos oru kisa lalos ke nien alyalu fin mangon eol uh, ac esukak mwe keng yen lullul ye sak lulap fin inging uh. “Ke ma inge acn nutuwos elos orek kosro in eis molo, ac mutan kien wen nutuwos elos orek kosro.
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.
Tusruk, nga ac fah tia kaelos ke ma elos oru inge, mweyen kowos sifacna fahsri mutan kosro ke nien alu lun mwet pegan ac orek kisa yorolos. Oana soakas se ma fahk mu, ‘Mutanfahl se ma wangin etauk la ac fah musalla.’
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.
“Kowos mwet Israel finne tia inse pwaye nu sik, lela mwet Judah in tia tafongla ke lumah sac pacna. Nimet alu in acn Gilgal ku Bethaven, ku orek wulela we ke Inen LEUM GOD moul.
16 For Israel was maddened like a mad heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a wide place.
Mwet Israel elos srangesr lohng kas oana soko cow fusr. Nga ac ku in kitalos fuka oana sheep fusr in imae?
17 Ephraim, joined with idols, has laid stumbling blocks in his own way.
Mwet Israel elos oan ye ku lun ma sruloala. Tari, sang lungse laltal.
18 He has chosen the Chananites: they have grievously gone a-whoring: they have loved dishonour through her insolence.
Ke pacl elos arulana sruhila ke nim wain, elos orek pwar yurin mutan kosro su kukakin manolos; ouinge elos pilesrala fulat lalos ac sifacna akmwekinyalos.
19 You are a blast of wind in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
Elos fah ukyukla oana ke ku lun eng uh okla ma uh, ac elos fah mwekin ke mwe kisa pegan ma elos oru.”
