Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal and died.
Nígbà ti Efraimu bá ń sọ̀rọ̀, àwọn ènìyàn máa ń wárìrì, a gbé e ga ní Israẹli ṣùgbọ́n ó jẹ̀bi ẹ̀sùn pé ó ń sin òrìṣà Baali, ó sì kú.
2 And now they have sinned more and more: and they have made to themselves a molten thing of their silver as the likeness of idols: the whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye that adore calves.
Báyìí, wọ́n ń dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; wọn fi fàdákà ṣe ère òrìṣà fúnra wọn; ère tí a fi ọgbọ́n dá àrà sí, gbogbo wọn jẹ́ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ oníṣọ̀nà. Wọn ń sọ nípa àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí. Pé, “Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn tí ń rú ẹbọ fi ẹnu, ko àwọn ẹgbọrọ màlúù ni ẹnu.”
3 Therefore they shall be as a morning aloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
Nítorí náà wọn yóò dàbí ìkùùkuu òwúrọ̀, bí ìrì òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù tó máa ń parẹ́, bí i èèpo ìyẹ̀fun tí afẹ́fẹ́ gbé láti ibi ìpakà bí èéfín tó rú jáde gba ojú fèrèsé.
4 But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me.
“Ṣùgbọ́n Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, ẹni tó mú ọ jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá. Ìwọ̀ kì yóò sì mọ ọlọ́run mìíràn àfi èmi kò sí olùgbàlà mìíràn lẹ́yìn mi.
5 I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.
Mo ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ ní aginjù, ní ilẹ̀ tí ó gbẹ tí kò ní omi.
6 According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me.
Wọn ni ìtẹ́lọ́rùn nígbà tí mo fún wọn ní oúnjẹ, Nígbà tí wọ́n ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn tan wọ́n di agbéraga. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì gbàgbé mi.
7 And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
Nítorí náà, Èmi yóò dìde sí wọn bí i kìnnìún, Èmi yóò fi ara pamọ́ dè wọ́n lọ́nà bí i ẹkùn.
8 I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them.
Beari igbó tí a já ọmọ rẹ̀ gbà, Èmi yóò bá wọn jà bí? Èmi yóò sì fà wọ́n ya bí ìgbà tí ẹkùn bá fa ara wọn ya bi ẹranko búburú ni èmi yóò fa wọn ya.
9 Destruction is thy own, O Israel: thy help is only in me.
“A ti pa ọ́ run, ìwọ Israẹli, nítorí pé ìwọ lòdì sí mi, ìwọ lòdì sí olùrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ.
10 Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Give me kings and princes.
Níbo ni ọba rẹ gbé wà nísinsin yìí kí ó bá à le gbà ọ là? Níbo ni àwọn olórí ìlú yín wà, àwọn tí ẹ sọ pé, ‘Fún wa ní ọba àti ọmọ-aládé’?
11 I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation.
Nítorí èyí nínú ìbínú mi ni mo fún un yín ní ọba, nínú ìbínú gbígbóná mi, mo sì mú un kúrò.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hidden.
Ẹ̀bi Efraimu ni a tí ko jọ gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ wà nínú àkọsílẹ̀.
13 The sorrows of a woman in labour snail come upon him, he is an unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children.
Ìrora bí obìnrin tó fẹ́ bímọ ti dé bá a, ṣùgbọ́n ó jẹ́ ọmọ tí kò lọ́gbọ́n, nígbà tí àsìkò tó, ó kọ̀ láti jáde síta láti inú.
14 I will deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite: comfort is hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
“Èmi yóò rà wọ́n padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára isà òkú. Èmi yóò rà wọ́n padà lọ́wọ́ ikú, ikú, àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn rẹ dà? Isà òkú, ìparun rẹ dà? “Èmi kò ní ṣàánú mọ́. (Sheol h7585)
15 Because he shall make a separation between brothers: the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.

16 Let Samaria perish, because she hath stirred up her God to bitterness: let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be dashed, and let the women with child be ripped up.
Ará Samaria gbọdọ̀ ru ẹ̀bi wọn, nítorí pé wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run wọn. Wọn ó ti ipa idà ṣubú; a ó fọ́ àwọn ọmọ wọn mọ́lẹ̀, a ó sì la àwọn aboyún wọn nínú.”
