Hosea 10
1 Israel is like a spreading vine that produces fruit for itself. The more fruit they produced, the more altars they built. The more productive the land, the more beautiful they made the sacred pillars.
Israẹli jẹ́ igi àjàrà tó gbilẹ̀ ó ń so èso fún ara rẹ̀. Bí èso rẹ̀ ṣe ń pọ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó ń kọ́ pẹpẹ sí i bí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ṣe ń ṣe rere o bu ọlá fún òkúta ìyàsọ́tọ̀ ère rẹ̀.
2 The people have minds that are deceptive, and now they must take responsibility for their guilt. The Lord will break apart their altars and destroy their sacred pillars.
Ọkàn wọn kún fún ìtànjẹ báyìí wọ́n gbọdọ̀ ru ẹ̀bi wọn. Olúwa yóò wó pẹpẹ wọn palẹ̀ yóò sì pa gbogbo òkúta ìyàsọ́tọ̀ wọn run.
3 Then they will say, “We have no king, for we do not fear the Lord, and yet what would a king do for us?”
Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò wí pé, “A kò ní ọba nítorí tí a kò bọ̀wọ̀ fún Olúwa ṣùgbọ́n bí a tilẹ̀ ní ọba, kí ni yóò ṣe fún wa?”
4 They speak empty words, swearing false promises to make a covenant. Their “justice” flourishes like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
Wọ́n ṣe ìlérí púpọ̀, wọ́n ṣe ìbúra èké, wọ́n da májẹ̀mú; báyìí ni ìdájọ́ hù sókè bí igi ìwọ̀ ni aporo oko, bi i koríko májèlé láàrín oko tí a ro.
5 Those who live in Samaria tremble in awe at the calf of Beth-aven. Its people mourn for it in their pagan rituals, while its idolatrous priests celebrate its glory. But it will certainly be taken away from them. It will be brought to Assyria as tribute for the great king.
Àwọn ènìyàn tí ń gbé Samaria bẹ̀rù nítorí ère abo màlúù tó wà ní Beti-Afeni. Àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀ le e lórí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àlùfáà abọ̀rìṣà rẹ̀. Gbogbo àwọn tó láyọ̀ sì dídán rẹ̀, nítorí tí a ti mú lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
6 Ephraim will be disgraced, and Israel will be ashamed at its own decisions.
A ó gbé lọ sí Asiria gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn fún ọba ńlá a ó dójútì Efraimu; ojú yóò ti Israẹli nítorí ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀.
7 Samaria and its king will be destroyed, swept away like a twig on the surface of the water.
Bí igi tó léfòó lórí omi ni Samaria àti àwọn ọba rẹ yóò sàn lọ.
8 The high places of Aven, where Israel sinned, will be demolished, and thorns and thistles will grow over their altars. Then they will call to the mountains, “Bury us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
Àwọn ibi gíga tí ẹ tí ń hùwà búburú ni a o parun, èyí ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Israẹli. Ẹ̀gún ọ̀gàn àti ẹ̀gún òṣùṣú yóò hù jáde, yóò sì bo àwọn pẹpẹ wọn. Wọn yóò sọ fún àwọn òkè gíga pé, “Bò wá mọ́lẹ̀!” àti fún àwọn òkè kéékèèké pé, “Ṣubú lù wá!”
9 Since the days of Gibeah you have been sinning, Israel, and you haven't changed. Do the people of Gibeah think that war will not come to them?
“Láti ìgbà Gibeah, ni ó ti ṣẹ̀, ìwọ Israẹli, ìwọ sì tún wà níbẹ̀. Ǹjẹ́ ogun kò lé ẹ̀yin aṣebi ni Gibeah bá bí?
10 When I choose I will punish the wicked. The nations will be gathered together against them when they are punished for their double crime.
Nígbà tó bá tẹ́ mi lọ́rùn, èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ wọ́n; Orílẹ̀-èdè yóò kó ra wọn jọ, wọ́n ó sì dojúkọ wọn, láti fi wọn sínú ìdè nítorí ìlọ́po ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
11 Ephraim is like a trained heifer that loved to thresh the grain, but now I will place a yoke on her strong neck. I will harness Ephraim; Judah will have to pull the plough; and Jacob must break up the ground for himself.
Efraimu jẹ́ ọmọ abo màlúù tí a tí kọ́, to si fẹ́ràn láti máa pa ọkà; lórí ọrun rẹ̀ tó lẹ́wà ni èmi ó dí ẹrù wúwo lé. Èmi yóò mú kí a gun Efraimu bí ẹṣin Juda yóò tú ilẹ̀, Jakọbu yóò sì fọ́ ògúlùtu rẹ̀.
12 Sow for yourselves what is right and you will reap unfailing love. Break up the unploughed ground. It's time to go to the Lord until he comes and rains down goodness on you.
Ẹ gbin òdòdó fún ara yín, kí ẹ sì ká èso ìfẹ́ àìlópin. Ẹ tu ilẹ̀ yín tí a kò ro, nítorí pé ó ti tó àsìkò láti wá Olúwa, títí tí yóò fi dé, tí yóò sì rọ òjò òdodo lé yín lórí.
13 But instead you have planted wickedness and reaped an evil harvest. You have eaten the fruit of lies, because you trusted in your own strength and in your many warriors.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ tí gbin búburú ẹ si ka ibi, ẹ ti jẹ èso èké nítorí ẹ tí gbẹ́kẹ̀lé agbára yín àti àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ jagunjagun yín,
14 The terrifying noise of battle will rise against your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, just as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel in the time of war. Even mothers and children were dashed to pieces.
ariwo ogun yóò bo àwọn ènìyàn yín kí gbogbo odi agbára yín ba le parun. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ṣalmani ṣe pa Beti-Arbeli run lọ́jọ́ ogun, nígbà tí a gbé àwọn ìyá ṣánlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ wọn.
15 This is what will happen to you, Bethel, because of your great wickedness. At dawn, the king of Israel will be utterly destroyed.
Báyìí ni a o sì ṣe sí ọ, ìwọ Beteli, nítorí pé ìwà búburú yín ti pọ̀jù. Ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́ ọjọ́ náà, a o pa ọba Israẹli run pátápátá.
