Hosea 12
1 Ephraim is fed with the winde, and followeth after the East winde: hee increaseth daily lies and destruction, and they do make a couenant with Asshur, and oyle is caried into Egypt.
Efreem bubbee nyaata; inni guyyaa guutuu bubbee baʼa biiftuu duukaa fiiga; sobaa fi gooliis ni baayʼisa. Inni Asoor wajjin walii galtee godhatee biyya Gibxiitti zayitii ejersaa erga.
2 The Lord hath also a controuersie with Iudah, and will visite Iaakob, according to his waies: according to his workes, wil he recompence him.
Waaqayyo waan Yihuudaa himatu qaba; inni akkuma amala isaatti Yaaqoobin adaba; akkuma hojii isaattis gatii isaa kennaaf.
3 Hee tooke his brother by the heele in the wombe, and by his strength he had power with God,
Inni gadameessa keessatti koomee obboleessa isaa qabe; erga guddatee immoo Waaqa wajjin walʼaansoo qabe.
4 And had power ouer the Angel, and preuailed: he wept and praied vnto him: he founde him in Beth-el, and there he spake with vs.
Inni ergamaa Waaqaa wajjin walʼaansoo qabee moʼate; booʼees surraa kadhate. Inni Beetʼeelitti isa argatee achitti isa wajjin haasaʼe.
5 Yea, the Lord God of hostes, the Lord is himselfe his memoriall.
Waaqayyo Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, maqaan isaa Waaqayyo!
6 Therefore turne thou to thy God: keepe mercy and iudgement, and hope still in thy God.
Ati garuu Waaqa keetti deebiʼi; jaalalaa fi murtii qajeelaa jabeessii yeroo hunda Waaqa kee eeggadhu.
7 He is Canaan: the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loueth to oppresse.
Daldalaan madaalii sobaa ofi harkaa qabu nama gowwoomsuu jaallata.
8 And Ephraim saide, Notwithstanding I am rich, I haue found me out riches in all my labours: they shall finde none iniquitie in me, that were wickednesse.
Efreem akkana jedhee boona; “Ani akka malee sooressa; qabeenya guddaa argadheera. Isaan qabeenya koo kana hunda keessatti iyyuu balleessaa yookaan cubbuu tokko illee narratti argachuu hin dandaʼan.”
9 Though I am the Lord thy God, from the land of Egypt, yet will I make thee to dwel in the tabernacles, as in the daies of the solemne feast.
“Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee kan biyya Gibxii si baasee dha; ani akka ati akkuma guyyaa ayyaanota kee kanneen murteeffaman sanaatti deebitee dunkaana keessa jiraattu sin godha.
10 I haue also spoken by the Prophets, and I haue multiplied visions, and vsed similitudes by the ministerie of the Prophets.
Ani raajotatti dubbadhee mulʼata hedduu kenneefii karaa isaaniitiin fakkeenyaan nan dubbadhe.”
11 Is there iniquitie in Gilead? surely they are vanitie: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal, and their altars are as heapes in the furrowes of the field.
Giliʼaad hamaadhaa? Sabni ishee faayidaa hin qabu! Isaan Gilgaal keessatti korma qaluu? Iddoon aarsaa isaanii akkuma tuullaa dhagaa isa lafa qotiisaa kan qotame irra jiruu ni taʼa.
12 And Iaakob fled into the countrey of Aram, and Israel serued for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheepe.
Yaaqoob gara Sooriyaatti baqate; Israaʼel niitii argachuuf nama tajaajile; gabbara ishee baasuufis hoolota tikse.
13 And by a Prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a Prophet was he reserued.
Waaqayyo biyya Gibxiitii Israaʼelin baasuuf raajiitti fayyadame; inni karuma raajii sanaatiin isa kunuunse.
14 But Ephraim prouoked him with hie places: therefore shall his blood be powred vpon him, and his reproche shall his Lord reward him.
Efreem garuu aarii isaa guddicha kakaase; Gooftaan isaa yakka dhiiga namaa dhangalaasuu sana isumatti deebisa; arrabsoo isaas matuma isaatti deebisa.
