Hosea 13
1 “When Ephraim speaks tremblingly, He has been lifted up in Israel, When he becomes guilty in Ba‘al he dies.
Nígbà ti Efraimu bá ń sọ̀rọ̀, àwọn ènìyàn máa ń wárìrì, a gbé e ga ní Israẹli ṣùgbọ́n ó jẹ̀bi ẹ̀sùn pé ó ń sin òrìṣà Baali, ó sì kú.
2 And now they sin, And make for themselves a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding—idols, A work of artisans—all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, The calves let them kiss.
Báyìí, wọ́n ń dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; wọn fi fàdákà ṣe ère òrìṣà fúnra wọn; ère tí a fi ọgbọ́n dá àrà sí, gbogbo wọn jẹ́ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ oníṣọ̀nà. Wọn ń sọ nípa àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí. Pé, “Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn tí ń rú ẹbọ fi ẹnu, ko àwọn ẹgbọrọ màlúù ni ẹnu.”
3 Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.
Nítorí náà wọn yóò dàbí ìkùùkuu òwúrọ̀, bí ìrì òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù tó máa ń parẹ́, bí i èèpo ìyẹ̀fun tí afẹ́fẹ́ gbé láti ibi ìpakà bí èéfín tó rú jáde gba ojú fèrèsé.
4 And I [am] your God YHWH from the land of Egypt, And you do not know a God besides Me, And a Savior—there is none except Me.
“Ṣùgbọ́n Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, ẹni tó mú ọ jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá. Ìwọ̀ kì yóò sì mọ ọlọ́run mìíràn àfi èmi kò sí olùgbàlà mìíràn lẹ́yìn mi.
5 I have known you in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
Mo ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ ní aginjù, ní ilẹ̀ tí ó gbẹ tí kò ní omi.
6 They are satiated according to their feedings, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
Wọn ni ìtẹ́lọ́rùn nígbà tí mo fún wọn ní oúnjẹ, Nígbà tí wọ́n ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn tan wọ́n di agbéraga. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì gbàgbé mi.
7 And I am to them as a lion, I look out as a leopard by the way.
Nítorí náà, Èmi yóò dìde sí wọn bí i kìnnìún, Èmi yóò fi ara pamọ́ dè wọ́n lọ́nà bí i ẹkùn.
8 I meet them as a bereaved bear, And I tear the enclosure of their heart, And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field tears them.
Beari igbó tí a já ọmọ rẹ̀ gbà, Èmi yóò bá wọn jà bí? Èmi yóò sì fà wọ́n ya bí ìgbà tí ẹkùn bá fa ara wọn ya bi ẹranko búburú ni èmi yóò fa wọn ya.
9 You have destroyed yourself, O Israel, But in Me [is] your help;
“A ti pa ọ́ run, ìwọ Israẹli, nítorí pé ìwọ lòdì sí mi, ìwọ lòdì sí olùrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ.
10 Where [is] your king now—And he saves you in all your cities? And your judges of whom you said, Give a king and heads to me?
Níbo ni ọba rẹ gbé wà nísinsin yìí kí ó bá à le gbà ọ là? Níbo ni àwọn olórí ìlú yín wà, àwọn tí ẹ sọ pé, ‘Fún wa ní ọba àti ọmọ-aládé’?
11 I give to you a king in My anger, And I take away in My wrath.
Nítorí èyí nínú ìbínú mi ni mo fún un yín ní ọba, nínú ìbínú gbígbóná mi, mo sì mú un kúrò.
12 Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
Ẹ̀bi Efraimu ni a tí ko jọ gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ wà nínú àkọsílẹ̀.
13 Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] not a wise son, For he does not remain [at] the time for the breaking forth of sons.
Ìrora bí obìnrin tó fẹ́ bímọ ti dé bá a, ṣùgbọ́n ó jẹ́ ọmọ tí kò lọ́gbọ́n, nígbà tí àsìkò tó, ó kọ̀ láti jáde síta láti inú.
14 Will I ransom them from the hand of Sheol? Will I redeem them from death? Where [is] your plague, O death? Where your destruction, O Sheol? Comfort is hid from My eyes. (Sheol h7585)

15 Though he produces fruit among brothers, An east wind comes in, a wind of YHWH, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it dries up his fountain, And his spring becomes dry, It—it spoils a treasure—every desirable vessel.

16 Samaria becomes desolate, Because she has been rebellious against her God, They fall by sword, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!”
Ará Samaria gbọdọ̀ ru ẹ̀bi wọn, nítorí pé wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run wọn. Wọn ó ti ipa idà ṣubú; a ó fọ́ àwọn ọmọ wọn mọ́lẹ̀, a ó sì la àwọn aboyún wọn nínú.”
