Hosea 5
1 O ye Priestes, heare this, and hearken ye, O house of Israel, and giue ye eare, O house of the King: for iudgement is towarde you, because you haue bene a snare on Mizpah, and a net spred vpon Tabor.
Muwulire kino mmwe bakabona! Musseeyo omwoyo, mmwe Isirayiri! Muwulirize, mmwe ennyumba ya Kabaka! Omusango guli ku mmwe: Mubadde kyambika e Mizupa, era ekitimba ekitegeddwa ku Taboli.
2 Yet they were profounde, to decline to slaughter, though I haue bene a rebuker of them all.
Abajeemu bamaliridde okutta, naye ndibabonereza bonna.
3 I knowe Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for nowe, O Ephraim thou art become an harlot, and Israel is defiled.
Mmanyi byonna ebikwata ku Efulayimu, so ne Isirayiri tankisibwa. Efulayimu weewaddeyo okukuba obwamalaaya, ne Isirayiri yeeyonoonye.
4 They will not giue their mindes to turne vnto their God: for the spirit of fornication is in the middes of them, and they haue not knowen the Lord.
Ebikolwa byabwe tebibaganya kudda eri Katonda waabwe, kubanga omwoyo ogw’obwamalaaya guli mu mitima gyabwe, so tebamanyi Mukama.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testifie to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquitie: Iudah also shall fall with them.
Amalala ga Isirayiri gabalumiriza; Abayisirayiri ne Efulayimu balyesittala olw’omusango gwabwe; ne Yuda alyesittalira wamu nabo.
6 They shall goe with their sheepe, and with their bullockes to seeke the Lord: but they shall not finde him: for he hath withdrawne himselfe from them.
Bwe baligenda n’ebisibo byabwe n’amagana gaabwe okunoonya Mukama, tebalimulaba; abaviiridde, abeeyawuddeko.
7 They haue transgressed against the Lord: for they haue begotte strange children: now shall a moneth deuoure them with their portions.
Tebabadde beesigwa eri Mukama; bazadde abaana aboobwenzi. Embaga ez’omwezi ogwakaboneka kyeziriva zibamalawo, n’ennimiro zaabwe ne ziragajjalirwa.
8 Blowe ye the trumpet in Gibeah, and the shaume in Ramah: crie out at Beth-auen, after thee, O Beniamin.
Mufuuwe eŋŋombe mu Gibea, n’ekkondeere mu Laama. Muyimuse amaloboozi e Besaveni; mutukulembere mmwe Benyamini.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel haue I caused to knowe the trueth.
Efulayimu alifuuka matongo ku lunaku olw’okubonerezebwa. Nnangirira ebiribaawo mu bika bya Isirayiri.
10 The princes of Iudah were like them that remoue the bounde: therefore will I powre out my wrath vpon them like water.
Abakulembeze ba Yuda bali ng’abo abajjulula ensalo, era ndibafukako obusungu bwange ng’omujjuzo gw’amazzi.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, and broken in iudgement, because he willingly walked after the commandement.
Efulayimu anyigirizibwa, era omusango gumumezze, kubanga yamalirira okugoberera bakatonda abalala.
12 Therefore wil I be vnto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Iudah as a rottennesse.
Kyenvudde nfuuka ng’ennyenje eri Efulayimu, n’eri ennyumba ya Yuda n’emba ng’ekintu ekivundu.
13 When Ephraim sawe his sickenes, and Iudah his wound, then went Ephraim vnto Asshur, and sent vnto King Iareb: yet coulde hee not heale you, nor cure you of your wound.
“Efulayimu bwe yalaba obulwadde bwe, ne Yuda n’alaba ekivundu kye, Efulayimu n’addukira mu Bwasuli, n’atumya obuyambi okuva eri kabaka waayo omukulu. Naye tasobola kubawonya newaakubadde okubajjanjaba ebiwundu byabwe.
14 For I will be vnto Ephraim as a lyon, and as a lyons whelpe to the house of Iudah: I, euen I will spoyle, and goe away: I will take away, and none shall rescue it.
Kyendiva mbeera ng’empologoma eri Efulayimu, era ng’empologoma ey’amaanyi eri ennyumba ya Yuda. Ndibataagulataagula ne ŋŋenda; ndibeetikka ne mbatwala, ne babulwako ayinza okubawonya.
15 I will go, and returne to my place, til they acknowledge their fault, and seeke me: in their affliction they will seeke me diligently.
Ndiddayo mu kifo kyange, okutuusa lwe balikkiriza omusango gwabwe. Balinnoonya, mu buyinike bwabwe, balinnoonya n’omutima gwabwe gwonna.”
