Hosea 2
1 Say vnto your brethren, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah,
“Mwogere ku baganda bammwe nti, ‘bantu bange,’ mwogere ne ku bannyinammwe nti, ‘baagalwa bange.’”
2 Plead with your mother: plead with her: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: but let her take away her fornications out of her sight, and her adulteries from betweene her breasts.
Munenye nnyammwe, mumunenye, kubanga si mukazi wange, so nange siri bba. Aggyewo obukaba obuli mu maaso ge, n’obwenzi obuva wakati w’amabeere ge;
3 Lest I strippe her naked, and set her as in the day that shee was borne, and make her as a wildernes, and leaue her like a drie land, and slaie her for thirst.
nneme okumwambulira ddala ne mmulekeraawo nga bwe yali ku lunaku kwe yazaalibwa; ne mmufuula ng’eddungu, ne mmulekawo ng’ensi enkalu eteriiko ky’egasa, ne mmussa ennyonta.
4 And I wil haue no pitie vpon her children: for they be the children of fornications.
Sirilaga kwagala kwange eri abaana be, kubanga baana ba bwenzi.
5 For their mother hath plaied the harlot: she that conceiued them, hath done shamefully: for shee said, I will goe after my louers that giue me my bread and my water, my wooll and my flaxe, mine oyle and my drinke.
Nnyabwe yakola obwenzi, n’abazaalira mu buwemu. Yayogera nti, “Ndigenda eri baganzi bange abampa emmere n’amazzi, n’ebimbugumya n’ebyokwambala, n’amafuta n’ekyokunywa.”
6 Therefore beholde, I will stoope thy way with thornes, and make an hedge, that shee shall not finde her pathes.
Kyendiva nziba ekkubo lye n’amaggwa, ne mmuzimbako bbugwe okumwetooloola, aleme okulaba ekkubo wayitira.
7 Though shee follow after her louers, yet shall shee not come at them: though shee seeke them, yet shall shee not finde them: then shall she say, I will goe and returne to my first husband: for at that time was I better then nowe.
Aligezaako okugoberera baganzi be abakwate, naye talibatuukako, alibanoonya naye talibalaba. Oluvannyuma alyogera nti, “Naagenda eri bba wange eyasooka, kubanga mu biro ebyo nabanga bulungi okusinga bwe ndi kaakano.”
8 Nowe she did not knowe that I gaue her corne, and wine, and oyle, and multiplied her siluer and golde, which they bestowed vpon Baal.
Tajjukira nga nze namuwanga eŋŋaano, ne wayini n’amafuta, era eyamuwa effeeza ne zaabu bye baakozesanga okuweerezanga Baali.
9 Therefore wil I returne, and take away my corne in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recouer my wool and my flaxe lent, to couer her shame.
“Kyendiva neddiza emmere yange ey’empeke ng’eyengedde, ne wayini wange ng’atuuse; era nzija kumuggyako ebyambalo byange eby’ebbugumu n’ebyambalo byange ebya bulijjo, bye yayambalanga.
10 And now will I discouer her lewdnes in the sight of her louers, and no man shall deliuer her out of mine hand.
Era kyenaava nyanika obukaba bwe mu maaso ga baganzi be, so tewaliba amuwonya mu mukono gwange.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast daies, her newe moones, and her Sabbathes, and all her solemne feasts.
Ndikomya ebinyumu bye byonna, n’embaga ze eza buli mwaka, n’embaga ze ez’emyezi egyakaboneka, ne ssabbiiti ze, n’enkuŋŋaana ze zonna entukuvu.
12 And I wil destroy her vines and her figtrees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my louers haue giuen mee: and I will make them as a forest, and the wilde beasts shall eate them.
Ndizikiriza emizabbibu gye n’emitiini gye, gye yayogerako nti, ‘Guno gwe musaala baganzi bange gwe bansasula.’ Ndibizisa, era n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko ziribyonoona.
13 And I wil visit vpon her the daies of Baalim, wherein shee burnt incense to them: and shee decked her selfe with her earings and her iewels, and shee folowed her louers, and forgate me, saith the Lord.
Ndimubonereza olw’ennaku ze yayotereza obubaane eri Babaali, ne yeeyambaza empeta n’ebintu eby’omuwendo ennyo, n’agenda eri baganzi be, naye nze n’aneerabira,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
14 Therefore beholde, I will allure her, and bring her into the wildernesse, and speake friendly vnto her.
Kale kyendiva musendasenda, ne mmutwala mu ddungu, ne njogera naye n’eggonjebwa.
15 And I will giue her her vineyardes from thence, and the valley of Achor for the doore of hope, and shee shall sing there as in the daies of her youth, and as in the daies when shee came vp out of the land of Egypt.
Era eyo ndimuddiza ennimiro ze ez’emizabbibu, ne nfuula Ekiwonvu kya Akoli oluggi olw’essuubi. Alimpuliriza nga bwe yampulirizanga mu nnaku ez’obuvubuka bwe, era nga mu biro bye yaviira mu nsi ya Misiri.
16 And at that day, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali.
“Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “olimpita nti, ‘mwami wange;’ toliddayo nate kumpita, ‘Mukama wange.’”
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall be no more remembred by their names.
Ndiggya amannya ga Babaali mu kamwa ke, so taliddayo nate okwasanguza amannya gaabwe.
18 And in that day wil I make a couenant for them, with the wilde beasts, and with the foules of the heauen, and with that that creepeth vpon the earth: and I will breake the bowe, and the sworde and the battell out of the earth, and will make them to sleepe safely.
Ku lunaku olwo ndibakolera endagaano n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga, n’ebyewalula ku ttaka, era ndiggyawo obusaale, n’ekitala, n’entalo mu nsi, bonna ne batuula mirembe.
19 And I wil marry thee vnto me for euer: yea, I will marry thee vnto me in righteousnes, and in iudgement, and in mercy and in compassion.
Era ndikwogereza ennaku zonna, ndikwogereza mu butuukirivu, ne mu mazima, ne mu kwagala ne mu kusaasira.
20 I will euen marry thee vnto me in faithfulnes, and thou shalt knowe the Lord.
Ndikwogereza mu bwesigwa, era olimanya Mukama.
21 And in that day I wil heare, saith the Lord, I will euen heare the heauens, and they shall heare the earth,
“Ku lunaku olwo, ndyanukula eggulu, nalyo ne lyanukula ensi;
22 And the earth shall heare the corne, and the wine, and the oyle, and they shall heare Izreel.
ensi erimeramu emmere ey’empeke, ne wayini n’amafuta, nabyo ne bifunibwa Yezuleeri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
23 And I will sowe her vnto me in the earth, and I will haue mercie vpon her, that was not pitied, and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people. And they shall say, Thou art my God.
“Ndimwesimbira mu nsi, ndisaasira oyo eyayitibwanga nti, atasaasirwa, era ndigamba abataali bantu bange nti, ‘Bantu bange,’ era nabo balyogera nti, ‘Ggwe Katonda wange.’”
