Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not too loudly, Israel, like the nations, for you have commited adultery, being untrue to your God. You have loved a prostitute’s wages on every threshing floor.
Mwet Israel, kowos in tia sifil orek engan ke len lulap lowos oana mwet pegan. Kowos forla liki God lowos ac tiana pwaye nu sel. In acn nukewa fin facl se inge kowos kukakin monuwos oana mutan kosro uh nu sin Baal, ac kowos lungse na wheat ma kowos nunku mu Baal el moli nu suwos!
2 Threshing floor and wine vat won’t feed them, the new wine will fail them.
Tusruktu ac tia paht na ac sufalla wheat ac oil in olive nu suwos, ac ac fah mau wangin wain.
3 They will not stay in the Lord’s land, but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean.
Mwet Israel ac fah tia mutana in facl sin LEUM GOD. Kutu selos ac folokla nu Egypt, ac elos su som nu Assyria fah kang mwe mongo ma tia lela nu selos.
4 They will not pour out libations of wine to the Lord, nor please him with their sacrifices. Their bread will be like the bread of mourners: all who eat it will defile themselves. For their bread will be only for their hunger, it will not come into the Lord’s temple.
In acn sac ingo elos ac fah tia ku in orek kisa wain nu sin LEUM GOD, ku use mwe kisa lalos nu sel. Mwe mongo nalos fah akkolukye mwet nukewa ma kang uh, oana mwe mongo ke pacl in pukmas. Orekmakinyuk na in eisla masrinsral lalos; wangin ip kac ac utukla in mwe kisa in Tempul lun LEUM GOD.
5 What will you do on the day of the festival? Or on the day of the Lord’s feast?
Fin sun len pakpuki in orek kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD, na mea elos ac oru?
6 Even if they flee from destruction, Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them. Nettles will take possession of their treasure of silver, thorns will push into their tents.
Ke len in ongoiya lulap tuku ac mwet uh oalik acn uh, na mwet Egypt fah oraloseni — aok elos fah puknelosi in acn Memphis! Ma saok ke silver lalos ac acn ma lohm selos oan we meet ah, fah kupoi ke mah ac kokul.
7 The days of punishment are come, the days of recompense are at hand, as soon the Israelites will know! “The prophet is a fool, the inspired man is raving mad!” It is because of the greatness of your iniquity and the greatness of your hatred.
Pacl in kalyeiyuk tuku tari — pacl mwet uh fah eis lacnen orekma lalos. Mwet Israel ac fah etu kac. Kowos fahk mu, “Mwet palu se inge el lalfon. Mwet se ma ngun oan facl uh el wel.” Kowos arulana srungayu yohk mweyen koluk lowos uh arulana yohk.
8 Ephraim acts the spy with my God, a prophet finds the snares of a fowler are in all his ways. In the house of his God they lay hostile plots,
God El supweyume ngan sie mwet palu in sensenkakin mwet Israel. A yen nukewa nga som nu we, kowos srike in srifusryuwi oana sie won. In acn sin God sifacna, mwet uh pa mwet lokoalok lun mwet palu.
9 they commit crimes as in the days of Gibeah, God will remember their iniquity. He will punish their sin.
Yoklana koluk lalos in ma nukewa elos oru, oana ke elos tuh oru in acn Gibeah. God El ac esam ma koluk lalos ac kalyaelos kac.
10 I found Israel like finding grapes in the wilderness. I saw your ancestors like they were the first fruit on a fig tree, but as soon as they came to Baal-peor, they consecrated themselves to shamefulness, and became as abominable as the object of their love.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke nga tufahna konekowosyak, mwet Israel, oana ke mwet uh konauk grape kapak yen mwesis. Ke nga tufahna liye mwet matu lowos somla ah, oana ke mwet uh konauk fahko se meet ke sak fig in pacl in fok uh. Tusruk pacl se kowos tuku nu eol Peor kowos mutawauk in alu nu sel Baal, na kowos sa na ekla mwe srungayuk ye mutuk, oana ma sruloala ma kowos lungse uh.
11 Ephraim – like a bird his glory flies away. There will be no more birth, no more motherhood, no more conception.
Pwengpeng lun Israel ac sohkla oana sie won, na ac fah wangin tulik sifilpa srimetak insien mutan, wangin mutan ac pitutu, ac wangin tulik fah isusla nu selos.
12 Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them until not one is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them!
Tuh elos finne tohf tulik, nga ac fah eisla lukelos ac tia likiya sie in moul. Ma upa puspis ac sikyak nu sin mwet inge pacl se nga som lukelosla uh.”
13 Ephraim – planted like Tyre in a meadow, But Ephraim too must lead forth their children to slaughter.
LEUM GOD, nga ku in liye tulik natulos ke ukok uh ac anwukla.
14 Give them, Lord – what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and shrivelled up breasts!
Mea nga ac siyuk kom in oru nu sin mwet inge? Oru mutan inge in talap. Oru elos in tia ku in katiti tulik natulos!
15 All their evil began in Gilgal, there I learned to hate them. Because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them, for all their princes are rebels.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Orekma koluk nukewa lalos mutawauk in acn Gilgal. Pa ingan acn se nga mutawauk in srungalosla we. Na ke sripen ma koluk elos oru inge, nga fah luselosla liki facl sik uh. Nga ac fah tia sifil lungse elos. Mwet kol nukewa lalos elos tuyak lainyu.
16 Ephraim is blighted, their root withered. If they do bear children, I will slay the darlings of their womb,
Mwet Israel elos oana soko sak ma oka kac uh pulamlamla ac tia isus fahko. Ac fah wangin tulik natulos. Ac elos finne isus, nga fah onela tulik natulos su elos saokkin.”
17 My God will reject them because they have not listened to him, and they will become wanderers among the nations.
God se su nga kulansupu fah ngetla liki mwet lal, mweyen elos tia porongel. Elos ac fah oana mwet takusrkusr inmasrlon mutunfacl uh.
