< Hosea 12 >

1 Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Hawa: hamosu huluane Isala: ili dunu da hahabe ganini asili gasia hamobe, da hamedei amola wadela: idafa ba: sa. Lelesu hou amola gugunufinisisu hou da bagade heda: sa. Ilia da Asilia fi ilima gousa: su hamosa, amola Idibidi fi ilima bidi lasu hou hamosa.”
2 YHWH also has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways and according to his deeds he will repay him.
Hina Gode da Yuda fi ilima diwaneya udidimu gala. Amola Isala: ili fi ilia hamobeba: le, E da ilima se dabe imunu. Ilia hamobeba: le, E da ilima dabemu.
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he contended with God.
Ilia aowalalia eda Ya: igobe amola Iso ela da gilisili ela ame ea hagomo ganodini esala, ela da ludui. Ya: igobe da asigilaloba, e da Godema ludui.
4 Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made petition to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with him,
E da a: igele dunuma luduli, osa: le heda: i. E da dinanu, a:igele dunu ema hahawane dogolegele ima: ne adole ba: i. Amola Bedele sogega, Gode da ninia aowalali dunu Ya: igobe ema misini, ema sia: i.
5 even YHWH, the God of hosts; YHWH is his name of renown.
Amo Gode da Hina Gode Bagadedafa. Ninia da Ema nodone sia: ne gadosea, Hina Gode Dio amoga sia: ne gadoma: mu.
6 Therefore turn to your God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait continually for your God.
Amaiba: le, dilia Ya: igobe egaga fi! Dilia Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: ma, amola Ema sinidigima! Ema madela: gili, moloidafa hou hamoma. Amola Gode Ea hawa: hamosu ba: ma: ne, gebewane ouesaloma.
7 A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand. He loves to defraud.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunu da Ga: ina: ne dunu defele, gigiadofasu hou hamonana. Ilia da hanaiba: le ilima bidi lasu dunu ilima ogogosa. Ilia dioi defei ba: su liligi da giadofale dioi defei olelesa.
8 Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won't find in me any iniquity that is sin."
Ilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Defea! Ninia da bagade gagui gala. Amola ninia da dunu eno ilima liligi ogogole bidilaiba: le, ilia da ninima diwaneya udidimu da hamedei.’
9 "But I YHWH your God brought you up from the land of Egypt. I will yet again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
Be Na, dilia Hina Gode, Na da dili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, ga oule misi. Amola, dilia da hafoga: i soge ganodini, abula diasuga esalea, Na da dilima misi. Na hamomuba: le, dilia da bu abula diasu ganodini esalebe ba: mu.
10 I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.
Na da balofede dunu ilima sia: ne, ilima esala ba: su bagohame amoga olelei. Ilia lafidili, Na da Na fi dunuma sisasu bagohame olelei.
11 If Gilead is wicked, surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls. Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.
Be dilia da Gilia: de sogega, loboga hamoi ogogole ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadolala. Amo hou hamosu dunu da bogosu ba: mu. Dilia da bulamagau gawali Giliga: le sogega gobele sala. Be amogawi, oloda huluane da ma: buale, igi fawane gegedole legei ba: mu.”
12 Jacob fled into the country of Aram, and Israel served to get a wife, and for a wife he tended flocks and herds.
Ninia aowalali eda, Ya: igobe, da hemonega Mesoubouda: imia sogega hobea: i. Amogawi, e da uda lamusa: , dunu eno ea sibi ouligisu hawa: hamosu.
13 By a prophet YHWH brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu Idibidi soge ganodini udigili hawa: hamonana esalu, amo gaga: ma: ne amola ouligima: ne, balofede dunu asunasi.
14 Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger. Therefore his blood will be left on him, and his Lord will repay his contempt.
Isala: ili dunu ilia hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da ougi bagade gala. Ilia da wadela: le hamoiba: le, bogosu dabe lamu da defea. Ilia da Ema gogosiasu iabeba: le, Hina Gode da ilima se dabe imunu.
