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.
Efraimu ń jẹ afẹ́fẹ́; o ń lépa afẹ́fẹ́ ìwọ̀-oòrùn ní gbogbo ọjọ́. O sì ń gbèrú nínú irọ́ o dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú Asiria o sì fi òróró olifi ránṣẹ́ sí Ejibiti.
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.
Olúwa ní ẹjọ́ kan tí yóò bá Juda rò, yóò fì ìyà jẹ Jakọbu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà rẹ̀ yóò sì sán fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ìṣe rẹ̀.
3 Hee tooke his brother by the heele in the wombe, and by his strength he had power with God,
Láti inú oyún ni ó ti di arákùnrin rẹ̀ mú ni gìgísẹ̀, àti nípa ipá rẹ̀ ó ni agbára pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run
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.
Ó bá angẹli ja ìjàkadì, ó sì borí rẹ̀, o sọkún, ó sì bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún ojúrere rẹ̀. Ó bá Olúwa ní Beteli, Ó sì bá a sọ̀rọ̀ níbẹ̀,
5 Yea, the Lord God of hostes, the Lord is himselfe his memoriall.
àní Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun; Olúwa ni orúkọ ìrántí rẹ̀.
6 Therefore turne thou to thy God: keepe mercy and iudgement, and hope still in thy God.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ gbọdọ̀ padà sọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀; di ìfẹ́ àti ìdájọ́ òdodo mú kí ẹ sì dúró de Ọlọ́run yín nígbà gbogbo.
7 He is Canaan: the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loueth to oppresse.
Oníṣòwò ń lo òsùwọ̀n èké o fẹ́ràn láti rẹ́ ni jẹ.
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.
Efraimu gbéraga, “Èmi ní ìní fún ara mi, mo sì ti di ọlọ́rọ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọrọ̀ mi yìí, wọn kò le ká àìṣedéédéé tàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kankan mọ́ mi lọ́wọ́.”
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.
“Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ; ẹni tí ó mu ọ jáde wá láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti; èmi yóò tún mú yín gbé nínú àgọ́ bí i ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún tí a yàn wọ̀n-ọn-nì.
10 I haue also spoken by the Prophets, and I haue multiplied visions, and vsed similitudes by the ministerie of the Prophets.
Mo sọ fún àwọn wòlíì, mo fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìran hàn wọ́n mo sì pa òwe láti ẹnu wòlíì wọn.”
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.
Gileadi ha burú bí? Àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ jẹ́ asán. Ǹjẹ́ wọ́n ń fi akọ màlúù rú ẹbọ ní Gilgali? Gbogbo pẹpẹ wọ́n sì dàbí ebè nínú aporo oko.
12 And Iaakob fled into the countrey of Aram, and Israel serued for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheepe.
Jakọbu sálọ si orílẹ̀-èdè Aramu; Israẹli sìn kí o tó fẹ́ ìyàwó ó ṣe ìtọ́jú ẹran láti fi san owó ìyàwó.
13 And by a Prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a Prophet was he reserued.
Olúwa lo wòlíì kan láti mú Israẹli jáde wá láti Ejibiti, nípasẹ̀ wòlíì kan ó ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ̀.
14 But Ephraim prouoked him with hie places: therefore shall his blood be powred vpon him, and his reproche shall his Lord reward him.
Ṣùgbọ́n Efraimu ti mú un bínú gidigidi; Olúwa rẹ̀ yóò sì fi ẹ̀bi ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ sí orí rẹ̀ òun yóò sì san án padà fún un nítorí ìwà ẹ̀gàn an rẹ̀.
