Hosea 7
1 When I woulde haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of Samaria: for they haue dealt falsly: and the theefe commeth in, and the robber spoyleth without.
na buli lwe nawonyanga Isirayiri, ebibi bya Efulayimu ne birabika, n’ebikolwa eby’ekyejo ebya Samaliya nabyo ne birabika. Balimba, bamenya ne bayingira mu mayumba, era batemu abateega abantu mu makubo.
2 And they consider not in their hearts, that I remember all their wickednes: now their owne inuentions haue beset them about: they are in my sight.
Naye tebalowooza nga nzijukira ebikolwa byabwe byonna ebibi. Ebibi byabwe bibazingizza, era mbiraba.
3 They make the King glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies.
“Kabaka asanyukira obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’abakungu basanyukira obulimba bwabwe.
4 They are all adulterers, and as a very ouen heated by ye baker, which ceaseth from raysing vp, and from kneading ye dough vntill it be leauened.
Bonna benzi; bali ng’ekyoto ekyaka omuliro, omufumbi w’emigaati gw’ateetaaga kuseesaamu okutuusa obutta bw’agoye, lwabuusa ku kyoto ne buzimbulukuka.
5 This is the day of our King: the princes haue made him sicke with flagons of wine: he stretcheth out his hand to scorners.
Ku lunaku kabaka lw’agabula embaga, abakungu ettamiiro lya wayini ne libalwaza, kabaka ne yeegatta n’abanyoomi.
6 For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen whiles they lie in waite: their baker sleepeth all the night: in the morning it burneth as a flame of fire.
Emitima gyabwe gyokerera nga oveni mu busungu bwabwe; Obusungu bwabwe bubuguumirira ekiro kyonna; mu makya ne bwaka ng’omuliro.
7 They are all hote as an ouen, and haue deuoured their iudges: all their Kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth vnto me.
Bonna bookya nga oveni, era bazikiriza abakulembeze baabwe. Bakabaka baabwe bonna bagudde; tewali n’omu ku bo ankowoola.
8 Ephraim hath mixt himselfe among the people. Ephraim is as a cake on the hearth not turned.
“Efulayimu yeegattika ne bannaggwanga; Efulayimu mugaati oguyiddeko oluuyi olumu.
9 Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray heares are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not.
Bannaggwanga banyuunyunta amaanyi ge naye takimanyi. Mu nviiri ze mulimu envi, naye takiraba.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the Lord their God, nor seeke him for all this.
Okwekulumbaza kwa Isirayiri kwe kubalumiriza, naye newaakubadde ng’ebyo byonna bimutuuseeko tadda eri Mukama Katonda we newaakubadde okumunoonya.
11 Ephraim also is like a doue deceiued, without heart: they call to Egypt: they go to Asshur.
“Efulayimu ali ng’ejjiba, alimbibwalimbibwa mangu era talina magezi; bakaabira Misiri, era bagenda eri Obwasuli.
12 But when they shall go, I will spred my net vpon them, and drawe them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastice them as their congregation hath heard.
Bwe baliba balaga eyo, ndibasuulako akatimba, era ndibassa wansi ng’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga. Bwe ndiwulira nga bakuŋŋaana, ndibaziyiza.
13 Wo vnto them: for they haue fled away from me: destruction shalbe vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me: though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lyes against me.
Zibasanze, kubanga bawabye ne banvaako. Baakuzikirira kubanga banjemedde. Njagala nnyo okubanunula, naye banjogerako eby’obulimba.
14 And they haue not cryed vnto me with their hearts, when they houled vpon their beds: they assembled themselues for corne, and wine, and they rebell against me.
Tebankaabira n’emitima gyabwe, wabula ebiwoobe babikubira ku bitanda byabwe. Bakuŋŋaana awamu olw’emmere ey’empeke ne wayini, naye ne banjeemera.
15 Though I haue boud and strengthened their arme, yet doe they imagine mischiefe against me.
Nabayigiriza ne mbawa n’amaanyi, naye bansalira enkwe.
16 They returne, but not to the most high: they are like a deceitfull bowe: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongues: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Tebakyukira oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo; bafuuse ng’omutego gw’akasaale ogwayonooneka; abakulembeze baabwe balifa kitala, olw’ebigambo byabwe ebya kalebule. Era kyebaliva babasekerera mu nsi y’e Misiri.”
