Hosea 12
1 Ephraim tries to herd the wind, chasing after the east wind all day long. Their lies and violence keep on increasing. They make a treaty with Assyria, and send olive oil to Egypt.
Hawa: hamosu huluane Isala: ili dunu da hahabe ganini asili gasia hamobe, da hamedei amola wadela: idafa ba: sa. Lelesu hou amola gugunufinisisu hou da bagade heda: sa. Ilia da Asilia fi ilima gousa: su hamosa, amola Idibidi fi ilima bidi lasu hou hamosa.”
2 The Lord also has an accusation against Judah, and will punish Jacob for the way the people act; he will repay them for what they have done.
Hina Gode da Yuda fi ilima diwaneya udidimu gala. Amola Isala: ili fi ilia hamobeba: le, E da ilima se dabe imunu. Ilia hamobeba: le, E da ilima dabemu.
3 Even in the womb he fought with his brother; when he became a man he fought with God.
Ilia aowalalia eda Ya: igobe amola Iso ela da gilisili ela ame ea hagomo ganodini esala, ela da ludui. Ya: igobe da asigilaloba, e da Godema ludui.
4 He fought with the angel, and he won. He wept, and begged him for a blessing. Jacob found God at Bethel, and spoke with him there—
E da a: igele dunuma luduli, osa: le heda: i. E da dinanu, a:igele dunu ema hahawane dogolegele ima: ne adole ba: i. Amola Bedele sogega, Gode da ninia aowalali dunu Ya: igobe ema misini, ema sia: i.
5 the Lord God Almighty, the Lord is his memorable name!
Amo Gode da Hina Gode Bagadedafa. Ninia da Ema nodone sia: ne gadosea, Hina Gode Dio amoga sia: ne gadoma: mu.
6 You must return to your God. Act lovingly and do what is right, and always wait for your God.
Amaiba: le, dilia Ya: igobe egaga fi! Dilia Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: ma, amola Ema sinidigima! Ema madela: gili, moloidafa hou hamoma. Amola Gode Ea hawa: hamosu ba: ma: ne, gebewane ouesaloma.
7 A merchant who holds in his hands dishonest scales loves to swindle.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunu da Ga: ina: ne dunu defele, gigiadofasu hou hamonana. Ilia da hanaiba: le ilima bidi lasu dunu ilima ogogosa. Ilia dioi defei ba: su liligi da giadofale dioi defei olelesa.
8 Ephraim says, “I'm rich! I've made myself wealthy! I've made so much from my work, and nobody can prove me guilty of doing wrong.”
Ilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Defea! Ninia da bagade gagui gala. Amola ninia da dunu eno ilima liligi ogogole bidilaiba: le, ilia da ninima diwaneya udidimu da hamedei.’
9 But I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. I will make you live again in tents like you do at the time of that particular festival.
Be Na, dilia Hina Gode, Na da dili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, ga oule misi. Amola, dilia da hafoga: i soge ganodini, abula diasuga esalea, Na da dilima misi. Na hamomuba: le, dilia da bu abula diasu ganodini esalebe ba: mu.
10 I spoke through the prophets. I myself gave many visions and parables through the prophets.
Na da balofede dunu ilima sia: ne, ilima esala ba: su bagohame amoga olelei. Ilia lafidili, Na da Na fi dunuma sisasu bagohame olelei.
11 If Gilead is idolatrous, they will surely come to nothing. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls. Even their altars are like heaps of rocks in the furrows of the field.
Be dilia da Gilia: de sogega, loboga hamoi ogogole ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadolala. Amo hou hamosu dunu da bogosu ba: mu. Dilia da bulamagau gawali Giliga: le sogega gobele sala. Be amogawi, oloda huluane da ma: buale, igi fawane gegedole legei ba: mu.”
12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram; Israel worked there to gain a wife, earning a wife by looking after sheep.
Ninia aowalali eda, Ya: igobe, da hemonega Mesoubouda: imia sogega hobea: i. Amogawi, e da uda lamusa: , dunu eno ea sibi ouligisu hawa: hamosu.
13 Through a prophet the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt, and by a prophet they were cared for.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu Idibidi soge ganodini udigili hawa: hamonana esalu, amo gaga: ma: ne amola ouligima: ne, balofede dunu asunasi.
14 Ephraim has really upset the Lord, and the Lord will let them have the consequences of their bloodshed and pay them back for their contempt.
Isala: ili dunu ilia hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da ougi bagade gala. Ilia da wadela: le hamoiba: le, bogosu dabe lamu da defea. Ilia da Ema gogosiasu iabeba: le, Hina Gode da ilima se dabe imunu.
