Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
Aṅụrịla ọṅụ, gị Izrel, ka obi ghara ịtọkwa gị ụtọ dịka ọ na-atọ ndị mba ọzọ, nʼihi na ị jụla Chineke gị, bido ịgba akwụna i hụrụ ụgwọ ọrụ ịkwa iko nʼanya nʼelu ebe ịzọcha ọka niile.
2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
Ebe ịzọcha mkpụrụ ọka na ebe ịzọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị agaghị azụ ha nri, mmanya ọhụrụ ga-agharịpụ ha.
3 They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.
Ha agaghị anọgidekwa nʼala Onyenwe anyị, ma Ifrem ga-alaghachi nʼala Ijipt nọdụ nʼAsịrịa rie nri rụrụ arụ.
4 They shall pour out no [offerings of] wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
Ha agaghị awụsa ihe ọṅụṅụ dịka aja nye Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọdịghị aja ha ga-achụ ga-atọ ya ụtọ. Aja ndị a ga-adị ha ka nri nke ndị na-eru ụjụ si dị. Onye ọbụla riri nri ndị a ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha. Nri ndị a ga-adịrị naanị ha onwe ha, ha agaghị ewebata ya nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
5 What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
Gịnị ọzọ ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị mmemme unu ndị ahụ a kara aka, ma nʼụbọchị mmemme nke Onyenwe anyị?
6 For behold, they are gone away because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Moph shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
A sịkwa na ha agbanarị mbibi, ndị Ijipt ga-achịkọta ha. Ndị Memfis ga-elikwa ha. Akụnụba nke ọlaọcha ha ka uke ga-ewekọrọ, ogwu na uke ga-etokwa nʼime ebe obibi ha niile,
7 The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know [it]: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity.
Ụbọchị niile nke ntaramahụhụ na-abịa, Ụbọchị ngụkọta ihe abịala nso. Ka Izrel mara nke a. Nʼihi na ịba ụba nke mmehie unu adịla ukwuu, nʼihi na ịkpọ asị unu akarịala, unu na-agụ onye amụma dịka onye nzuzu, na-agụkwa onye nwee Mmụọ nke Chineke dịka onye na-ayị ara.
8 Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? [nay] the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God.
Ma onye amụma bụ onye nche Chineke, na-eche Ifrem nche, ma igbudu nke ọnya jupụtara nʼụzọ ya niile, ịkpọ asị dịkwa nʼime nʼụlọnsọ Chineke ya.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Ha emerụọla onwe ha ebe ọ dị ukwuu, dịka ọ dị nʼụbọchị Gibea. Ọ ga-echeta njehie ha. Ọ ga-enye ha ntaramahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ha niile.
10 I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover.
“Mgbe m chọtara Izrel, ọ dị ka m chọtara mkpụrụ grepu nʼọzara; mgbe m hụrụ nna nna unu ha, ọ dị ka ihu mkpụrụ bụ ụzọ chaa nʼelu osisi fiig. Ma mgbe ha bịaruru na Baal-Peoa, ha doro onwe ha nsọ nyefee nʼaka arụsị ahụ na-eweta ihere, si otu a ghọọ ndị rụrụ arụ, dịka ihe ndị ahụ ha hụrụ nʼanya si bụrụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, — no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
Nsọpụrụ Ifrem nwere ga-efefu dị ka nnụnụ, nʼihi na ọmụmụ nwa agaghị adị, a gaghị atụkwa ime, agaghị adịkwa ime.
12 For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that] not a man [remain]: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!
A sịkwa na ha azụlite ụmụ ha, aghaghị m ime ka ha nwụọ. Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ha, mgbe m si nʼebe ha nọ wezuga onwe m.
13 Ephraim, as I saw [him], was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
Ahụla m na Ifrem yiri Taịa, bụ ihe akụnyere nʼala mara mma. Ma Ifrem ga-eji aka ya kpọpụta ụmụ ya nye ndị ga-egbu ha.”
14 Give them, Jehovah — what wilt thou give? — give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Biko, Onyenwe anyị nye ha. Gịnị ka i kwesiri inye ha? Nye ha akpanwa nke nwa na-adịghị anọgide nʼime ya, na ara nke mmiri ara na-adịghị.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious.
“Ihe ọjọọ ha niile bidoro na Gilgal, akpọrọ m ha asị nʼebe ahụ. Nʼihi omume mmehie ha niile, aghaghị m isite nʼụlọ m chụpụ ha. Agaghị m ahụkwa ha nʼanya ọzọ, ndị ndu ha niile bụ ndị nnupu isi.
16 Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
Etigbuola Ifrem, mgbọrọgwụ ha akpọnwụọla, ha agaghị amịkwa mkpụrụ. A sịkwarị na ha amụọ ụmụ, aga m egbu ụmụ ha niile, ndị ha hụrụ nʼanya.”
17 My God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Chineke m ga-ajụ ha, nʼihi na ha adịghị ege ya ntị maọbụ rube isi. Ha ga-aghọ ndị na-awagharị awagharị na-enweghị ụlọ, nʼetiti mba niile.
