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.
Yaa Israaʼel hin ililchin; akka saboota kaanii hin gammadin. Ati Waaqa keetiif amanamaa hin turreetii; ati oobdii hunda irratti gatii sagaagaltummaadhaaf baafamu jaallatteerta.
2 Floor and winepress do not feed them, And new wine fails in her,
Oobdiiwwanii fi iddoon cuunfaa wayinii saba hin sooran; daadhiin wayinii haaraan isaaniif hin tolu.
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.
Isaan biyya Waaqayyoo keessatti hin hafan; Efreem gara Gibxitti deebiʼee Asoor keessatti nyaata xuraaʼe nyaata.
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.
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 do you do at the day appointed? And at the day of YHWH’s festival?
Isin guyyaa ayyaana keessan murteeffameetti, guyyoota ayyaana Waaqayyoo sanatti maal hojjetu?
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 gone deep—have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He remembers their iniquity, He inspects their sins.
Isaan akkuma bara Gibeʼaa keessatti taʼe sana xuraaʼummaa keessa dhidhiman. Waaqni hammina isaanii yaadatee sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif isaan adaba.
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.
“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 Ephraim [is] as a bird, their glory flies away, without birth, and without womb, and without conception.
Ulfinni Efreem akkuma simbirroo barrisee bada; dhalchuun, garaatti baachuun, ulfaaʼuun hin jiru.
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.
Yoo isaan ijoollee guddifatan iyyuu ani jalaa fixee ilmaan malee isaan nan hambisa. Gaafa ani isaan irraa garagalu isaaniif wayyoo!
13 Ephraim! When I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out his sons to a 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 to them, YHWH—what do You give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
Yaa Waaqayyo isaaniif kenni; ati maal isaaniif kennita? Gadameessa ulfa hin baannee fi harma goggogaa kenniif.
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.
“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 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.
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 rejects them, Because they have not listened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!”
Sababii isaan isaaf hin ajajaminiif, Waaqni koo isaan dida; isaan warra asii fi achi saboota gidduu jooru taʼu.
