Hosea 8
1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth: he shall come as an eagle against the House of the Lord, because they haue transgressed my couenant, and trespassed against my Lawe.
“Ffuwa ekkondeere. Empungu eri ku nnyumba ya Mukama kubanga abantu bamenye endagaano yange ne bajeemera amateeka gange.
2 Israel shall crie vnto me, My God, we know thee.
Isirayiri bankaabira nga boogera nti, ‘Katonda waffe, tukumanyi.’
3 Israel hath cast off ye thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him.
Naye Isirayiri baleseeyo ekirungi; omulabe kyaliva abayigganya.
4 They haue set vp a King, but not by me: they haue made princes, and I knew it not: of their siluer and their gold haue they made them idoles: therefore shall they be destroyed.
Balonda bakabaka nga sikkirizza, balonda abakulembeze be sikakasizza. Beekolera ebifaananyi ebyole mu ffeeza yaabwe ne mu zaabu yaabwe ebiribaleetera okuzikirira.
5 Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: howe long will they be without innocencie!
Kanyuga ebweru ekifaananyi ky’ennyana yo, ggwe Samaliya. Obusungu bwange bubabuubuukirako. Balituusa ddi okuba abatali batuukirivu?
6 For it came euen from Israel: the workeman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calfe of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Bava mu Isirayiri. Ennyana eyo omuntu eyakuguka mu by’okuweesa, ye yagikola so si Katonda. Era ennyana eyo eya Samaliya eribetentebwa.
7 For they haue sowne the winde, and they shall reape the whirlewind: it hath no stalke: the budde shall bring foorth no meale: if so be it bring forth, the strangers shall deuoure it.
“Basiga empewo, ne bakungula embuyaga. Ekikolo olw’obutaba na mutwe, kyekiriva kirema okubala ensigo. Naye ne bwe kyandibaze, bannaggwanga bandigiridde.
8 Israel is deuoured, now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessell wherein is no pleasure.
Isirayiri amaliddwawo; ali wakati mu mawanga ng’ekintu ekitagasa.
9 For they are gone vp to Asshur: they are as a wilde asse alone by himselfe: Ephraim hath hired louers.
Bambuse ne bagenda eri Obwasuli, ng’endogoyi ey’omu nsiko eri yokka. Efulayimu aguliridde abaganzi.
10 Yet though they haue hired among the nations, nowe will I gather them, and they shall sorowe a litle, for the burden of the King and the princes.
Newaakubadde nga beetunze eri amawanga, ndibakuŋŋaanya, era ndibawaayo eri okubonaabona nga banyigirizibwa kabaka ow’amaanyi.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sinne, his altars shalbe to sinne.
“Newaakubadde nga Efulayimu baazimba ebyoto bingi eby’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, bifuuse byoto bya kukolerako bibi.
12 I haue written to them the great things of my Lawe: but they were counted as a strange thing.
Nabawandiikira ebintu bingi mu mateeka gange, naye ne babifuula ekintu ekigwira.
13 They sacrifice flesh for ye sacrifices of mine offerings, and eate it: but the Lord accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes: they shall returne to Egypt.
Bawaayo ebiweebwayo gye ndi, ne balya ennyama yaabyo, Mukama tabasanyukira. Kaakano alijukira obutali butuukirivu bwabwe n’ababonereza olw’ebibi byabwe: Baliddayo e Misiri.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his maker, and buildeth Temples, and Iudah hath increased strong cities: but I will sende a fire vpon his cities, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
Isirayiri yeerabidde omutonzi we, n’azimba embiri, ne Yuda ne yeeyongera okuzimba ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe; naye ndisindika omuliro ku bibuga byabwe, ne gwokya ebigo byabwe.”
