Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim, spake, there was terror, exalted was, he, in Israel, —but, when he became guilty with Baal, then he died.
Nígbà ti Efraimu bá ń sọ̀rọ̀, àwọn ènìyàn máa ń wárìrì, a gbé e ga ní Israẹli ṣùgbọ́n ó jẹ̀bi ẹ̀sùn pé ó ń sin òrìṣà Baali, ó sì kú.
2 Now, therefore they go on to sin, and have made them a Molten Thing out of their silver, after the notion of idols, the workmanship of craftsmen, all of it! Of them, are they saying—Ye sacrificers of men! The Great Calf, shall ye surely kiss!
Báyìí, wọ́n ń dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; wọn fi fàdákà ṣe ère òrìṣà fúnra wọn; ère tí a fi ọgbọ́n dá àrà sí, gbogbo wọn jẹ́ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ oníṣọ̀nà. Wọn ń sọ nípa àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí. Pé, “Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn tí ń rú ẹbọ fi ẹnu, ko àwọn ẹgbọrọ màlúù ni ẹnu.”
3 Therefore, shall they become like the morning cloud, and like the dew early departing, —like chaff storm-driven out of the threshing-floor, and like smoke out of a chimney.
Nítorí náà wọn yóò dàbí ìkùùkuu òwúrọ̀, bí ìrì òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù tó máa ń parẹ́, bí i èèpo ìyẹ̀fun tí afẹ́fẹ́ gbé láti ibi ìpakà bí èéfín tó rú jáde gba ojú fèrèsé.
4 Yet, I, Yahweh, have been thy God from the land of Egypt, —and, god beside me, shalt thou not acknowledge, for, saviour, is there none besides me.
“Ṣùgbọ́n Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, ẹni tó mú ọ jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá. Ìwọ̀ kì yóò sì mọ ọlọ́run mìíràn àfi èmi kò sí olùgbàlà mìíràn lẹ́yìn mi.
5 I, tended thee in the desert, —in a land parched with drought:
Mo ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ ní aginjù, ní ilẹ̀ tí ó gbẹ tí kò ní omi.
6 Whenever they were pastured, then were they satisfied, They were satisfied, and their heart, was lifted up, —because of this, they forgat me.
Wọn ni ìtẹ́lọ́rùn nígbà tí mo fún wọn ní oúnjẹ, Nígbà tí wọ́n ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn tan wọ́n di agbéraga. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì gbàgbé mi.
7 Therefore am I become to them as a lion, —As a leopard by the way, do I watch.
Nítorí náà, Èmi yóò dìde sí wọn bí i kìnnìún, Èmi yóò fi ara pamọ́ dè wọ́n lọ́nà bí i ẹkùn.
8 I will fall upon them as a bear bereaved, and will read asunder the enclosure of their heart, —that I may devour them there, like a lioness, the wild beast of the field, shall tear them in pieces.
Beari igbó tí a já ọmọ rẹ̀ gbà, Èmi yóò bá wọn jà bí? Èmi yóò sì fà wọ́n ya bí ìgbà tí ẹkùn bá fa ara wọn ya bi ẹranko búburú ni èmi yóò fa wọn ya.
9 It hath utterly destroyed thee, O Israel, for it was against me, as thy helper!
“A ti pa ọ́ run, ìwọ Israẹli, nítorí pé ìwọ lòdì sí mi, ìwọ lòdì sí olùrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ.
10 Where is thy king, then, that he may save thee throughout all thy cities? and thy judges, concerning whom thou saidst, Oh give me a king and rulers?
Níbo ni ọba rẹ gbé wà nísinsin yìí kí ó bá à le gbà ọ là? Níbo ni àwọn olórí ìlú yín wà, àwọn tí ẹ sọ pé, ‘Fún wa ní ọba àti ọmọ-aládé’?
11 I might give thee a king in mine anger, and take him away in my wrath.
Nítorí èyí nínú ìbínú mi ni mo fún un yín ní ọba, nínú ìbínú gbígbóná mi, mo sì mú un kúrò.
12 Bound up, is the iniquity of Ephraim, stored away, his sin.
Ẹ̀bi Efraimu ni a tí ko jọ gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ wà nínú àkọsílẹ̀.
13 The pangs of a woman in labour, shall overtake him, —he, is a son, not wise, for, now, he cannot stand still, when children are about to be born.
Ìrora bí obìnrin tó fẹ́ bímọ ti dé bá a, ṣùgbọ́n ó jẹ́ ọmọ tí kò lọ́gbọ́n, nígbà tí àsìkò tó, ó kọ̀ láti jáde síta láti inú.
14 Out of the hand of hades, will I ransom them, out of death, will I redeem them, —Where is thy pestilence, O death? Where thy plague, O hades? Repentance, shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
“Èmi yóò rà wọ́n padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára isà òkú. Èmi yóò rà wọ́n padà lọ́wọ́ ikú, ikú, àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn rẹ dà? Isà òkú, ìparun rẹ dà? “Èmi kò ní ṣàánú mọ́. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though, he, among brethren, be fruitful, there shall come in an east wind, the blast of Yahweh out of the desert coming up, that his spring, may dry up, and his fountain, be exhausted, he, will rob the treasure-house of all the vessels of delight.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ gbilẹ̀ láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa yóò wá, yóò fẹ́ wá láti inú aginjù orísun omi rẹ̀ yóò gbẹ kànga rẹ̀ yóò gbẹ pẹ̀lú olè yóò fọ́ ilé ẹrù àti gbogbo ilé ìṣúra rẹ̀.
16 Samaria, shall be held guilty, for she hath rebelled against her God, By the sword, shall they fall, their infants, shall be dashed to the ground, and, his women with child, shall be ripped up.
Ará Samaria gbọdọ̀ ru ẹ̀bi wọn, nítorí pé wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run wọn. Wọn ó ti ipa idà ṣubú; a ó fọ́ àwọn ọmọ wọn mọ́lẹ̀, a ó sì la àwọn aboyún wọn nínú.”
