Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spake, there was trembling: hee exalted him selfe in Israel, but he hath sinned in Baal, and is dead.
Na mbụ, mgbe ọbụla Ifrem kwuru okwu, a na-enwe ọma jijiji, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye e buliri elu nʼIzrel. Ma ikpe maara ya nʼihi ofufe o fere Baal, ọ nwụkwara.
2 And nowe they sinne more and more, and haue made them molten images of their siluer, and idoles according to their owne vnderstanding: they were all the woorke of the craftesmen: they say one to another whiles they sacrifice a man, Let them kisse the calues.
Ugbu a, ha na-aga nʼihu nʼime mmehie, ha na-eji ọlaọcha na-akpụrụ onwe ha arụsị dị iche iche, nke ha ji uche kpachara anya kpụzie nke ọma, ha niile bụ akaọrụ ndị ǹka. Ha onwe ha na-ekwu, “Ha na-achụ aja ụmụ mmadụ. Ha na-esusukwa nwa ehi a kpụrụ akpụ ọnụ”
3 Therefore they shall bee as the morning cloude, and as the morning dewe that passeth away, as the chaffe that is driuen with a whirlewind out of the floore, and as the smoke that goeth out of the chimney.
Nʼihi ya, ha ga-adị ka igirigi nke ụtụtụ, maọbụ igirigi nke na-agbachapụ ngwangwa, dịka igbugbo nke a fụchapụrụ nʼebe ịzọcha ọka, dịka anwụrụ ọkụ nke si na oghereikuku na-ekupụ.
4 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt knowe no God but me: for there is no Sauiour beside me.
“Ma mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na Chineke gị, siterịị nʼala Ijipt. Unu agaghị anabatara onwe unu Chineke ọzọ karịa m. Ọ dịghị Onye nzọpụta ọzọ dị karịa m.
5 I did knowe thee in the wildernesse, in the land of drought.
Elekọtara m unu nʼime ọzara, nʼala ahụ kpọrọ nkụ, nke mmiri na-adịghị.
6 As in their pastures, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they forgotten me.
Mgbe m nyere ha nri, ha rijukwara afọ. Mgbe afọ juru ha, ha bidoro ịkpa nganga, chefuo m.
7 And I wil be vnto them as a very lyon, and as a leopard in the way of Asshur.
Nʼihi ya, aghaghị m ịbịakwasị ha dịka ọdụm; maọbụ dịka agụ nke na-ezo onwe ya nʼakụkụ ụzọ.
8 I will meete them, as a beare that is robbed of her whelpes, and I will breake the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a lion: the wilde beast shall teare them.
Aga m adakwasị ha dịka anụ ọhịa bịa nke a gbabara aka ụmụ ya, dọwasịa anụ ahụ kpuchiri obi ha aga m eripịa ha dịka ọdụm, anụ ọhịa ga-adọkasịkwa ha.
9 O Israel, one hath destroyed thee, but in me is thine helpe.
“Aga m ala gị nʼiyi, gị Izrel, onye pụrụ inyere gị aka?
10 I am: where is thy King, that shoulde help thee in al thy cities? and thy iudges, of whom thou saidest, Giue me a King, and princes?
Ebee ka ndị eze gị nọ, ka ha bịa zọpụta gị? Ebee ka ndịisi ọchịchị nke obodo gị niile nọ, bụ ndị ahụ i ji nʼihi ha na-asị, ‘Nye m eze na ndị ọchịchị’?
11 I gaue thee a King in mine anger, and I tooke him away in my wrath.
Esitere m nʼiwe m nye gị eze, sitekwa nʼọnụma m, napụ gị ya.
12 The iniquitie of Ephraim is bound vp: his sinne is hid.
Njehie nke Ifrem ka e kechikọtara debe; a na-edetukwa mmehie ya niile nʼakwụkwọ.
13 The sorowes of a trauailing woman shall come vpon him: he is an vnwise sonne, els would he not stande still at the time, euen at the breaking forth of the children.
Ihe mgbu nke dịka ihe mgbu nwanyị ime na-eme na-abịakwasị ya; maọbụ nwantakịrị na-enweghị uche. Mgbe oge ya zuru, ọ jụrụ ịpụta site nʼọnụ akpanwa ka a mụpụta ya.
14 I wil redeeme them from the power of the graue: I will deliuer them from death: O death, I wil be thy death: O graue, I will be thy destruction: repentance is hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
“Aga m anapụta ha site nʼike nke Ala mmụọ. Aga m agbapụta ha site nʼọnwụ. Gị ọnwụ, olee ebe ajọọ ọrịa gị niile na-efe efe dị? Gị ala mmụọ, olee ebe ike ịla nʼiyi gị dị? “Agaghị m enwe ọmịiko ọbụla, (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he grewe vp among his brethren, an East winde shall come, euen the winde of the Lord shall come vp from the wildernesse, and drie vp his veine, and his fountaine shalbe dryed vp: he shall spoyle the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
ọ bụ ezie na ya onwe ya bụ onye na-amị mkpụrụ nʼetiti ụmụnne ya niile. Ma oke ifufe si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, nke Onyenwe anyị zitere, ga-esi nʼọzara fekwasị ya. Isi iyi niile ga-ata, olulu mmiri ya ga-atakọrọkwa. A ga-apụnara ya ihe dị nʼụlọakụ ya niile, na akụ niile o nwere.
16 Samaria shalbe desolate: for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sworde: their infants shalbe dashed in pieces, and their women with childe shalbe ript.
Sameria aghaghị ịta ahụhụ ikpe ọmụma ya, nʼihi na o nupuru isi megide Chineke ha. A ga-eji mma agha gbuo ndị ya niile, tụpịa ụmụntakịrị ya niile nʼala, jirikwa mma agha bọwaa ndị inyom niile dị ime.”
