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.
Yaa Israaʼel hin ililchin; akka saboota kaanii hin gammadin. Ati Waaqa keetiif amanamaa hin turreetii; ati oobdii hunda irratti gatii sagaagaltummaadhaaf baafamu jaallatteerta.
2 Your threshing floors and winepresses will not feed you; the land will fail to produce your new wine.
Oobdiiwwanii fi iddoon cuunfaa wayinii saba hin sooran; daadhiin wayinii haaraan isaaniif hin tolu.
3 You will not stay in the Lord's land, instead Ephraim will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean food in Assyria.
Isaan biyya Waaqayyoo keessatti hin hafan; Efreem gara Gibxitti deebiʼee Asoor keessatti nyaata xuraaʼe nyaata.
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.
Isaan dhibaayyuu daadhii wayinii Waaqayyoof hin dhibaafatan; yookaan aarsaan isaanii isa hin gammachiisu. Aarsaan akkasii akkuma buddeena warra gaddaa isaanitti taʼa; namni buddeena kana nyaatu hundinuu ni xuraaʼa. Nyaanni kun kanuma mataa isaanii taʼa; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoos ol hin seenu.
5 What are you going to do on the days of your appointed religious feasts, on the days of the festivals of the Lord?
Isin guyyaa ayyaana keessan murteeffameetti, guyyoota ayyaana Waaqayyoo sanatti maal hojjetu?
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.
Yoo isaan badiisa jalaa baʼan iyyuu Gibxi walitti isaan qabdi; Memfiis immoo isaan awwaala. Qabeenyi meetii isaanii sokorruudhaan liqimfama; dunkaana isaanii immoo qoraattiitu haguuga.
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.
Guyyoonni adabbii dhufaa jiru; guyyoonni itti gatii baasan dhiʼaataniiru. Israaʼel waan kana haa beeku. Sababii cubbuun kee akka malee baayʼatee hamminni kees akka malee guddaa taʼeef, raajiin akka raatuutti ilaalame; namni Hafuura Waaqaatiin qajeelfamu immoo akka maraatuutti hedame.
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
Raajichi Waaqa koo wajjin eegduu Efreem taʼe; taʼus daandii isaa hunda irratti kiyyoon isa eeggata; mana Waaqa isaa keessattis jibbi isa eeggata.
9 for they have corrupted themselves so deeply, as in the time of Gibeah. He will remember their sin; he will punish their wickedness.
Isaan akkuma bara Gibeʼaa keessatti taʼe sana xuraaʼummaa keessa dhidhiman. Waaqni hammina isaanii yaadatee sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif isaan adaba.
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.
“Yeroo ani Israaʼelin argetti, inni akkuma ija wayinii gammoojjii keessatti argamee ture; yeroo ani abbootii keessan argetti, isaan akkuma waan ija jalqabaa harbuu irratti argamee turan. Isaan garuu yommuu gara Baʼaal Pheʼoor dhufanitti, waaqa tolfamaa qaanessaa sanaaf of qulqulleessanii akkuma waan jaallatan sanaa jibbisiisoo taʼan.
11 Ephraim! Like a bird that flies away so shall your glory—no births, no pregnancies, no conceptions.
Ulfinni Efreem akkuma simbirroo barrisee bada; dhalchuun, garaatti baachuun, ulfaaʼuun hin jiru.
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!
Yoo isaan ijoollee guddifatan iyyuu ani jalaa fixee ilmaan malee isaan nan hambisa. Gaafa ani isaan irraa garagalu isaaniif wayyoo!
13 Ephraim! Just as I saw Tyre planted in a meadow, so too Ephraim will lead out his children to the murderer.
Ani Efreemin isaa akkuma Xiiroos lafa namatti tolu irra dhaabatee jiru nan arge. Sabni Efreem garuu ijoollee isaa gad baasee warra gogorraʼutti kenna.”
14 Give them—well, Lord, what should you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and dry breasts.
Yaa Waaqayyo isaaniif kenni; ati maal isaaniif kennita? Gadameessa ulfa hin baannee fi harma goggogaa kenniif.
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.
“Sababii hammina isaanii kan Gilgaal keessatti hojjetame sana hundaatiif, ani achitti isaan nan jibbe. Sababii hojii isaanii kan cubbuudhaan guutamee sanaatiif ani mana koo keessaa isaan ariʼa. Ani siʼachi isaan hin jaalladhu; bulchitoonni isaanii hundinuu finciltoota.
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.
Efreem rukutameera; hiddi isaanii goggogeera; isaan ija tokko illee hin godhatan. Yoo isaan ijoollee godhatan iyyuu ani sanyii isaanii jaallatamoo isaan jalaa nan qala.”
17 My God will reject you because you have not listened to him, and you will become homeless wanderers among the nations.
Sababii isaan isaaf hin ajajaminiif, Waaqni koo isaan dida; isaan warra asii fi achi saboota gidduu jooru taʼu.
