Hosea 9

1 Israel, don't rejoice! Don't celebrate like other nations! For you have practiced prostitution; you have loved a prostitute's wages on every threshing floor of grain.

Mwet Israel, kowos in tia sifil orek engan ke len lulap lowos oana mwet pegan. Kowos forla liki God lowos ac tiana pwaye nu sel. In acn nukewa fin facl se inge kowos kukakin monuwos oana mutan kosro uh nu sin Baal, ac kowos lungse na wheat ma kowos nunku mu Baal el moli nu suwos!

2 Your threshing floors and winepresses will not feed you; the land will fail to produce your new wine.

Tusruktu ac tia paht na ac sufalla wheat ac oil in olive nu suwos, ac ac fah mau wangin wain.

3 You will not stay in the Lord's land, instead Ephraim will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean food in Assyria.

Mwet Israel ac fah tia mutana in facl sin LEUM GOD. Kutu selos ac folokla nu Egypt, ac elos su som nu Assyria fah kang mwe mongo ma tia lela nu selos.

4 You won't pour out any drink offerings to the Lord. None of your sacrifices will please him. Your sacrifices will be like food eaten by a person in mourning—all who eat will be unclean. You will eat this food yourselves, but it will not enter the house of the Lord.

In acn sac ingo elos ac fah tia ku in orek kisa wain nu sin LEUM GOD, ku use mwe kisa lalos nu sel. Mwe mongo nalos fah akkolukye mwet nukewa ma kang uh, oana mwe mongo ke pacl in pukmas. Orekmakinyuk na in eisla masrinsral lalos; wangin ip kac ac utukla in mwe kisa in Tempul lun LEUM GOD.

5 What are you going to do on the days of your appointed religious feasts, on the days of the festivals of the Lord?

Fin sun len pakpuki in orek kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD, na mea elos ac oru?

6 Look, they have left because of the destruction: Egypt with gather them, and Memphis will bury them. They gain a “valued possession” for their silver. Weeds will possess them, and thorns will grow over their tents.

Ke len in ongoiya lulap tuku ac mwet uh oalik acn uh, na mwet Egypt fah oraloseni — aok elos fah puknelosi in acn Memphis! Ma saok ke silver lalos ac acn ma lohm selos oan we meet ah, fah kupoi ke mah ac kokul.

7 The time of punishment has come; the day of retribution has arrived. Let Israel know! You say the prophet is a fool, the man of the Spirit is mad, because your sin and hostility is so great.

Pacl in kalyeiyuk tuku tari — pacl mwet uh fah eis lacnen orekma lalos. Mwet Israel ac fah etu kac. Kowos fahk mu, “Mwet palu se inge el lalfon. Mwet se ma ngun oan facl uh el wel.” Kowos arulana srungayu yohk mweyen koluk lowos uh arulana yohk.

8 The watchman over Ephraim is with my God, and a prophet is a birdcatcher's snare on all his ways. Hatred is in the house of his God

God El supweyume ngan sie mwet palu in sensenkakin mwet Israel. A yen nukewa nga som nu we, kowos srike in srifusryuwi oana sie won. In acn sin God sifacna, mwet uh pa mwet lokoalok lun mwet palu.

9 for they have corrupted themselves so deeply, as in the time of Gibeah. He will remember their sin; he will punish their wickedness.

Yoklana koluk lalos in ma nukewa elos oru, oana ke elos tuh oru in acn Gibeah. God El ac esam ma koluk lalos ac kalyaelos kac.

10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert. When I saw your forefathers it was like seeing early fruit on the fig tree. But when they came to Baal Peor, they gave themselves over to that shameful idol, becoming as filthy as the filthy thing they loved.

LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke nga tufahna konekowosyak, mwet Israel, oana ke mwet uh konauk grape kapak yen mwesis. Ke nga tufahna liye mwet matu lowos somla ah, oana ke mwet uh konauk fahko se meet ke sak fig in pacl in fok uh. Tusruk pacl se kowos tuku nu eol Peor kowos mutawauk in alu nu sel Baal, na kowos sa na ekla mwe srungayuk ye mutuk, oana ma sruloala ma kowos lungse uh.

11 Ephraim! Like a bird that flies away so shall your glory—no births, no pregnancies, no conceptions.

Pwengpeng lun Israel ac sohkla oana sie won, na ac fah wangin tulik sifilpa srimetak insien mutan, wangin mutan ac pitutu, ac wangin tulik fah isusla nu selos.

12 Even if they bring up children, I will make sure they do not survive. What a disaster for you when I turn away from you!

Tuh elos finne tohf tulik, nga ac fah eisla lukelos ac tia likiya sie in moul. Ma upa puspis ac sikyak nu sin mwet inge pacl se nga som lukelosla uh.”

13 Ephraim! Just as I saw Tyre planted in a meadow, so too Ephraim will lead out his children to the murderer.

LEUM GOD, nga ku in liye tulik natulos ke ukok uh ac anwukla.

14 Give them—well, Lord, what should you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and dry breasts.

Mea nga ac siyuk kom in oru nu sin mwet inge? Oru mutan inge in talap. Oru elos in tia ku in katiti tulik natulos!

15 All of their evil began at Gilgal, and that's where I began to hate them. I will drive them out of my house because of their wickedness. I will love them no longer; all their leaders are rebels.

LEUM GOD El fahk, “Orekma koluk nukewa lalos mutawauk in acn Gilgal. Pa ingan acn se nga mutawauk in srungalosla we. Na ke sripen ma koluk elos oru inge, nga fah luselosla liki facl sik uh. Nga ac fah tia sifil lungse elos. Mwet kol nukewa lalos elos tuyak lainyu.

16 Ephraim, you are blighted, dried up from the roots. You shall bear no fruit. Even if you have children, I will slaughter your beloved offspring.

Mwet Israel elos oana soko sak ma oka kac uh pulamlamla ac tia isus fahko. Ac fah wangin tulik natulos. Ac elos finne isus, nga fah onela tulik natulos su elos saokkin.”

17 My God will reject you because you have not listened to him, and you will become homeless wanderers among the nations.

God se su nga kulansupu fah ngetla liki mwet lal, mweyen elos tia porongel. Elos ac fah oana mwet takusrkusr inmasrlon mutunfacl uh.
