< Hosea 9 >

1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
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 floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in 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 [things] in Assyria.
Isaan biyya Waaqayyoo keessatti hin hafan; Efreem gara Gibxitti deebiʼee Asoor keessatti nyaata xuraaʼe nyaata.
4 They shall not offer 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 for their soul 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 solemn day, 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 because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.
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 recompence are come; Israel shall know [it: ] the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
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 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred 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: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit 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 firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as 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, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Ulfinni Efreem akkuma simbirroo barrisee bada; dhalchuun, garaatti baachuun, ulfaaʼuun hin jiru.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] 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, as I saw Tyrus, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
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: what wilt thou 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: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.
“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 [even] 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.
