Hosea 8
1 Let there be a trumpet in thy throat like an eagle upon the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and have violated my law.
“Fi ìpè sí ẹnu rẹ! Ẹyẹ idì wà lórí ilé Olúwa nítorí pé àwọn ènìyàn ti dalẹ̀ májẹ̀mú, wọ́n sì ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí òfin mi.
2 They shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.
Israẹli kígbe pè mí, ‘Ọlọ́run wa, àwa mọ̀ ọ́n!’
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him.
Ṣùgbọ́n Israẹli ti kọ ohun tí ó dára sílẹ̀ ọ̀tá yóò sì máa lépa rẹ̀.
4 They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I knew not: of their silver, and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they might perish.
Wọ́n fi àwọn ọba jẹ ṣùgbọ́n, kì í ṣe nípasẹ̀ mi wọ́n yan ọmọ-aládé láì si ìmọ̀ mi níbẹ̀. Wọ́n fi fàdákà àti wúrà ṣe ère fún ara wọn, si ìparun ara wọn.
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
Ju ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù rẹ, ìwọ Samaria! Ìbínú mi ń ru sí wọn: yóò ti pẹ́ tó kí wọ́n tó dé ipò àìmọ̀kan?
6 For itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders’ webs.
Israẹli ni wọ́n ti wá! Ère yìí agbẹ́gilére ló ṣe é, àní ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù Samaria, ni a ó fọ́ túútúú.
7 For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield, strangers shall eat it.
“Wọ́n gbin afẹ́fẹ́ wọ́n sì ká ìjì. Igi ọkà kò lórí, kò sì ní mú oúnjẹ wá. Bí ó bá tilẹ̀ ní ọkà àwọn àjèjì ni yóò jẹ.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel.
A ti gbé Israẹli mì, báyìí, ó sì ti wà láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè bí ohun èlò tí kò wúlò.
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.
Nítorí pé wọ́n ti gòkè lọ sí Asiria gẹ́gẹ́ bí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ igbó tó ń rìn kiri. Efraimu ti ta ara rẹ̀ fún àwọn olólùfẹ́ rẹ̀.
10 But even though they shall have hired the nations, now will I gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the king, and the princes.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọ́n ti ta ara wọn sí àárín Orílẹ̀-èdè, Èmi ó ṣà wọ́n jọ nísinsin yìí. Wọn ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í ṣòfò dànù lọ́wọ́ ìnilára ọba alágbára.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.
“Nítorí Efraimu ti kọ́ pẹpẹ púpọ̀ fún ìrúbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbogbo rẹ̀ ti di pẹpẹ ìdẹ́ṣẹ̀ fún un
12 I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.
Mo kọ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ohun tí ó jẹ́ òfin mi fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kà á sí ohun àjèjì.
13 They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
Wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ tí wọ́n yàn fún mi, wọ́n sì ń jẹ ẹran ibẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n inú Olúwa kò dùn sí wọn. Báyìí yóò rántí ìwà búburú wọn yóò sì jẹ wọ́n ní yà fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Wọn yóò padà sí Ejibiti.
14 And Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples: and Juda hath built many fenced cities: and I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
Nítorí Israẹli ti gbàgbé ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ̀ Ó sì ń kọ́ ààfin púpọ̀ Juda ti kọ́ ìlú olódi púpọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó rán iná kan sí orí àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ èyí tí yóò jẹ ibi agbára rẹ̀ run.”
