< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
Isiraeli aarĩ ta mũthabibũ watheeremaga, nake agĩĩciarĩra maciaro. O ũrĩa maciaro make maingĩhaga-rĩ, noguo nake aakaga igongona nyingĩ; o ũrĩa bũrũri wake wagaacagĩra-rĩ, noguo aagemagia mahiga make marĩa maamũre ma kũhooyagwo.
2 Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
Ngoro ciao nĩ cia maheeni, na rĩu no nginya marĩhio wĩhia wao. Jehova nĩakamomora igongona ciao, na athũkangie mahiga macio mao maamũre ma kũhooyagwo.
3 Surely now they will say, "We have no king; for we do not fear Jehovah; and the king, what can he do for us?"
Ningĩ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “Tũtirĩ na mũthamaki, tondũ tũtiigana gũtĩĩa Jehova. No o na korwo twarĩ na mũthamaki-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩahotire gũtwĩkĩra?”
4 They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
Meranagĩra ciĩranĩro nyingĩ, na makehĩta mĩĩhĩtwa ya maheeni, na magathondeka irĩkanĩro; nĩ ũndũ ũcio maciira makunũkaga ta mahuti marĩ ũrogi marĩa mameraga hianyũ-inĩ.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven; for its people will mourn over it, Along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.
Andũ arĩa matũũraga Samaria metangaga nĩ ũndũ wa mũhianano wa njaũ ĩrĩa ya Bethi-Aveni. Amu andũ akuo nĩmakamĩcakaĩra, na noguo athĩnjĩri-ngai a mĩhianano ĩyo mageeka arĩa makenagĩra riiri wayo, tondũ nĩyeheretio kuuma kũrĩ o, ĩgathaamĩrio kũndũ kũngĩ.
6 It also will be carried bound to Assyria as tribute for a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
Nayo ĩgaatwarwo Ashuri, ĩtuĩke kĩheo kũrĩ mũthamaki ũcio mũnene. Efiraimu nĩagaconorithio; Isiraeli nake nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yake ya mĩtĩ.
7 Samaria and her king float away, like a twig on the water.
Samaria na mũthamaki wakuo magaathererio ta karũhonge karĩ igũrũ wa maaĩ, maniinwo.
8 The high places also of Beth Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will grow on their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us." and to the hills, "Cover us."
Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwĩkagĩrwo waganu nĩgũkanangwo, na nĩkuo kwene wĩhia wa Isiraeli. Mĩigua na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ nĩcio igaakũra kuo, nacio ihumbĩre igongona ciao. Nao andũ nĩmakeera irĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũhumbĩrei!” na macooke meere tũrĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩrei!”
9 "Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn't overtake them in Gibeah.
“Wee Isiraeli-rĩ, kuuma o matukũ-inĩ ma Gibea ũtũũrĩte wĩhagia, na ũguo noguo ũtũũraga. Githĩ mbaara ndĩakinyĩire eeki ũũru kũu Gibea?
10 I am coming to discipline them; and the nations will be gathered against them, when they are disciplined for their two transgressions.
Rĩrĩa niĩ ngenda, nĩngamaherithia; ndũrĩrĩ nĩigacookanĩrĩra, imokĩrĩre nĩguo imoohe imatahe nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao kũingĩha.
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods.
Efiraimu nĩ moori menyerie wĩra ĩrĩa yendete gũkonyora ngano; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamĩoha icooki ngingo-inĩ yayo thaka. Nĩngatwarithia Efiraimu, Juda no nginya agaacimba na mũraũ, nake Jakubu no nginya agaacimba gĩtira.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Jehovah, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
Rĩu-rĩ, mwĩhaandĩrei ũhoro wa ũthingu, nĩguo mwĩgethere maciaro ma wendo ũtathiraga, na mũciimbe mĩgũnda yanyu ya ngamba; nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩ ikinyu rĩa kũrongooria Jehova, nginya rĩrĩa agooka, oirie mbura ya ũthingu igũrũ rĩanyu.
13 You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũhaandĩte waganu, mũkagetha ũũru; inyuĩ mũrĩĩte maciaro ma maheeni. Tondũ mwĩhokaga hinya wanyu inyuĩ ene, o na wa njamba cianyu nyingĩ cia ita-rĩ,
14 Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
mũrurumo wa mbaara nĩũgokĩrĩra andũ aku. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ciikaro ciaku iria nũmu nĩikaanangwo, o ta ũrĩa Shalimani aanangire Bethi-Arabeli mũthenya ũrĩa wa mbaara, rĩrĩa manyina ma twana maatungumanirio thĩ hamwe na twana twao.
15 So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
Ũguo noguo ũgeekwo wee Betheli, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu waku mũnene. Rĩrĩa mũthenya ũcio ũgaakĩa-rĩ, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakaniinwo biũ.
