< Hosea 9 >

1 Rejoice not, O Israel, unto exultation, like the peoples, for thou hast gone astray from thy God, thou hast loved a harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
Yaa Israaʼel hin ililchin; akka saboota kaanii hin gammadin. Ati Waaqa keetiif amanamaa hin turreetii; ati oobdii hunda irratti gatii sagaagaltummaadhaaf baafamu jaallatteerta.
2 The threshing-floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
Oobdiiwwanii fi iddoon cuunfaa wayinii saba hin sooran; daadhiin wayinii haaraan isaaniif hin tolu.
3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
Isaan biyya Waaqayyoo keessatti hin hafan; Efreem gara Gibxitti deebiʼee Asoor keessatti nyaata xuraaʼe nyaata.
4 They shall not pour out wine-offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto Him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners, all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread shall be for their appetite, it shall not come into the house of the LORD.
Isaan dhibaayyuu daadhii wayinii Waaqayyoof hin dhibaafatan; yookaan aarsaan isaanii isa hin gammachiisu. Aarsaan akkasii akkuma buddeena warra gaddaa isaanitti taʼa; namni buddeena kana nyaatu hundinuu ni xuraaʼa. Nyaanni kun kanuma mataa isaanii taʼa; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoos ol hin seenu.
5 What will ye do in the day of the appointed season, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
Isin guyyaa ayyaana keessan murteeffameetti, guyyoota ayyaana Waaqayyoo sanatti maal hojjetu?
6 For, lo, they are gone away from destruction, yet Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their precious treasures of silver, nettles shall possess them, thorns shall be in their tents.
Yoo isaan badiisa jalaa baʼan iyyuu Gibxi walitti isaan qabdi; Memfiis immoo isaan awwaala. Qabeenyi meetii isaanii sokorruudhaan liqimfama; dunkaana isaanii immoo qoraattiitu haguuga.
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come, Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad! For the multitude of thine iniquity, the enmity is great.
Guyyoonni adabbii dhufaa jiru; guyyoonni itti gatii baasan dhiʼaataniiru. Israaʼel waan kana haa beeku. Sababii cubbuun kee akka malee baayʼatee hamminni kees akka malee guddaa taʼeef, raajiin akka raatuutti ilaalame; namni Hafuura Waaqaatiin qajeelfamu immoo akka maraatuutti hedame.
8 Ephraim is a watchman with my God; as for the prophet, a fowler's snare is in all his ways, and enmity in the house of his God.
Raajichi Waaqa koo wajjin eegduu Efreem taʼe; taʼus daandii isaa hunda irratti kiyyoon isa eeggata; mana Waaqa isaa keessattis jibbi isa eeggata.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.
Isaan akkuma bara Gibeʼaa keessatti taʼe sana xuraaʼummaa keessa dhidhiman. Waaqni hammina isaanii yaadatee sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif isaan adaba.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness, I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at her first season; but so soon as they came to Baal-peor, they separated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became detestable like that which they loved.
“Yeroo ani Israaʼelin argetti, inni akkuma ija wayinii gammoojjii keessatti argamee ture; yeroo ani abbootii keessan argetti, isaan akkuma waan ija jalqabaa harbuu irratti argamee turan. Isaan garuu yommuu gara Baʼaal Pheʼoor dhufanitti, waaqa tolfamaa qaanessaa sanaaf of qulqulleessanii akkuma waan jaallatan sanaa jibbisiisoo taʼan.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird; there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
Ulfinni Efreem akkuma simbirroo barrisee bada; dhalchuun, garaatti baachuun, ulfaaʼuun hin jiru.
12 Yea, though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there be not a man left; yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Yoo isaan ijoollee guddifatan iyyuu ani jalaa fixee ilmaan malee isaan nan hambisa. Gaafa ani isaan irraa garagalu isaaniif wayyoo!
13 Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
Ani Efreemin isaa akkuma Xiiroos lafa namatti tolu irra dhaabatee jiru nan arge. Sabni Efreem garuu ijoollee isaa gad baasee warra gogorraʼutti kenna.”
14 Give them, O LORD, whatsoever Thou wilt give; give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Yaa Waaqayyo isaaniif kenni; ati maal isaaniif kennita? Gadameessa ulfa hin baannee fi harma goggogaa kenniif.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them; because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of My house; I will love them no more, all their princes are rebellious.
“Sababii hammina isaanii kan Gilgaal keessatti hojjetame sana hundaatiif, ani achitti isaan nan jibbe. Sababii hojii isaanii kan cubbuudhaan guutamee sanaatiif ani mana koo keessaa isaan ariʼa. Ani siʼachi isaan hin jaalladhu; bulchitoonni isaanii hundinuu finciltoota.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
Efreem rukutameera; hiddi isaanii goggogeera; isaan ija tokko illee hin godhatan. Yoo isaan ijoollee godhatan iyyuu ani sanyii isaanii jaallatamoo isaan jalaa nan qala.”
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Sababii isaan isaaf hin ajajaminiif, Waaqni koo isaan dida; isaan warra asii fi achi saboota gidduu jooru taʼu.
