Hosea 9
1 “Do not rejoice, O Israel, do not be joyful like the peoples, For you have gone whoring from your God, You have loved a wage near all floors of grain.
Kik umor, yaye Israel; bende kik ubed gi ilo kaka ogendini mamoko. Nimar ok usebedo jo-adiera ne Nyasachu; usehero chudo mar ochot michulougo, e kuonde dino cham.
2 Floor and winepress do not feed them, And new wine fails in her,
Kuonde ma idinoe cham kod kuonde mibiyoe divai ok nopidh ji; kendo divai manyien ok nokonygi.
3 They do not abide in the land of YHWH, And Ephraim has turned back [to] Egypt, And they eat an unclean thing in Asshur.
Ok ginidongʼ e piny Jehova Nyasaye; Efraim nodog Misri, kendo ginicham chiemo ma ok opwodhi e piny Asuria.
4 They do not pour out wine to YHWH, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It does not come into the house of YHWH.
Ok gini olne Jehova Nyasaye misango mar divai, bende misengini ma gichiwo ok nomor Jehova Nyasaye ngangʼ. Misengini machalo kamano nochal negi mana kaka chiemb joma ywak; kendo jogo mochamogi nobed mogak. Chiemoni nobed margi giwegi; omiyo ok nokele e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
5 What do you do at the day appointed? And at the day of YHWH’s festival?
Unutim angʼo e odiechiengu mowal mar nyasi, kata ka odiechienge nyasi mar Jehova Nyasaye ochopo?
6 For behold, they have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathers them, Moph buries them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them—a thorn [is] in their tents.
Kata ka gitony e kethruok, Misri nochokgi, kendo Memfis noikgi. Mwandu mag fedha noum gi pedo kendo kuthe noum hembegi.
7 The days of inspection have come in, The days of repayment have come in, Israel knows! The prophet [is] a fool, Mad [is] the man of the spirit, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.
Kinde mag kum biro kendo kinde mag ngʼado bura osechopo. Omiyo jo-Israel nyaka ngʼe wachni. Nikech richou ngʼeny kendo kinyou lich miwuoro, janabi ikwano ka ngʼama ofuwo, to ngʼat matiyo gi much Nyasaye ka janeko.
8 Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! A snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] in the house of his God.
Janabi, kaachiel gi Nyasacha e jarit mar Efraim, kata kamano obadho rite e yorene duto, kendo akweda bende rite e od Nyasache.
9 They have gone deep—have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He remembers their iniquity, He inspects their sins.
Gisedonjo matut e timbe mag miganga mana ka ndalo mag Gibea. Nyasaye nopar timbegi mamono kendo enokumgi e richogi.
10 As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They have gone in [to] Ba‘al-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And have become abominable like their love.
“Kane ayudo Israel ne ochalo mana kayudo olemb mzabibu e piny motwo, kane aneno kwereu, ne chalo mana ka gima aneno olemo monyak mokwongo mar ngʼowu. To kane gibiro Baal Peor, negichiwore lamo nyiseche manono makwodo wich, kendo negibedo modwanyore mana ka gima ne giherono.
11 Ephraim [is] as a bird, their glory flies away, without birth, and without womb, and without conception.
Duongʼ mar Efraim noweye mana ka winyo ma huyo mi lal nono, omiyo ok ginichak ginywol nyithindo, mondegi ok nobed ma yach kendo onge nyathi manomak ichne.
12 For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless—without man, Surely also, woe to them when I turn aside from them.
Kata ka gipidho nyithindo, to namigi gibed gi kuyo kuom moro ka moro. Okwongʼ-gi, ka alokora mi ajwangʼogi!
13 Ephraim! When I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out his sons to a slayer.
Aseneno Efraim, mana kaka ne aneno Turo, ka opidhi kama omiyo, to Efraim nokel nyithinde ni janek.”
14 Give to them, YHWH—what do You give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
Chiwnegi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, en angʼo ma dimigi? Migi mana iye magore piny kendo thunde motwo.
15 All their evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I drive them, I no longer love them, All their heads [are] apostates.
“Nikech timbegi mag anjawo e Gilgal, ne ok aherogi kanyo. Nikech timbegi mag richo, abiro riembgi oko e oda. Ok anachak ahergi; jotendgi duto gin joma timbegi richo.
16 Ephraim has been struck, Their root has dried up, they do not yield fruit, Indeed, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired of their womb.
Midekre osemako Efraim, kendo tiendene ner, ok ginyag olemo. Kata ka ginywolo nyithindo, to ananeg nyithindgi ma gihero ahinyago.”
17 My God rejects them, Because they have not listened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!”
Nyasacha nokwedgi nikech ok gisewinje, ginibedi joma tangni e dier ogendini.
