Hosea 10
1 vine be luxuriant Israel fruit to set to/for him like/as abundance to/for fruit his to multiply to/for altar like/as good to/for land: country/planet his be good pillar
Israeli alikuwa mzabibu uliostawi sana, alijizalia matunda mwenyewe. Kadiri matunda yake yalivyoongezeka, alijenga madhabahu zaidi; kadiri nchi yake ilivyostawi, alipamba mawe yake ya ibada.
2 to smooth heart their now be guilty he/she/it to break the neck altar their to ruin pillar their
Moyo wao ni mdanganyifu, nao sasa lazima wachukue hatia yao. Bwana atabomoa madhabahu zao na kuharibu mawe yao ya ibada.
3 for now to say nothing king to/for us for not to fear: revere [obj] LORD and [the] king what? to make: do to/for us
Kisha watasema, “Hatuna mfalme kwa sababu hatukumheshimu Bwana. Lakini hata kama tungelikuwa na mfalme, angeweza kutufanyia nini?”
4 to speak: speak word to swear vanity: false to cut: make(covenant) covenant and to sprout like/as poison justice: judgement upon furrow field
Wanaweka ahadi nyingi, huapa viapo vya uongo wanapofanya mapatano; kwa hiyo mashtaka huchipuka kama magugu ya sumu katika shamba lililolimwa.
5 to/for heifer Beth-aven Beth-aven to dread neighboring Samaria for to mourn upon him people his and pagan priest his upon him to rejoice upon glory his for to reveal: remove from him
Watu wanaoishi Samaria huogopa kwa ajili ya sanamu ya ndama ya Beth-Aveni. Watu wake wataiombolezea, vivyo hivyo kuhani wake wa kuabudu sanamu, wale waliokuwa wamefurahia fahari yake, kwa sababu itaondolewa kutoka kwao kwenda uhamishoni.
6 also [obj] him to/for Assyria to conduct offering: tribute to/for king `great` shame Ephraim to take: bring and be ashamed Israel from counsel his
Itachukuliwa kwenda Ashuru kama ushuru kwa mfalme mkuu. Efraimu atafedheheshwa; Israeli ataaibika kwa ajili ya sanamu zake za mti.
7 to cease Samaria king her like/as splinter upon face: surface water
Samaria na mfalme wake wataelea kama kijiti juu ya uso wa maji.
8 and to destroy high place Aven sin Israel thorn and thistle to ascend: rise upon altar their and to say to/for mountain: mount to cover us and to/for hill to fall: fall upon us
Mahali pa kuabudia sanamu pa uovu pataharibiwa: ndiyo dhambi ya Israeli. Miiba na mibaruti itaota na kufunika madhabahu zao. Kisha wataiambia milima, “Tufunikeni!” na vilima, “Tuangukieni!”
9 from day [the] Gibeah to sin Israel there to stand: stand not to overtake them in/on/with Gibeah battle upon son: type of iniquity
“Tangu siku za Gibea, mmetenda dhambi, ee Israeli, huko ndiko mlikobaki. Je, vita havikuwapata watenda mabaya huko Gibea?
10 in/on/with desire my and to discipline them and to gather upon them people in/on/with to bind them to/for two (iniquity: guilt their *Q(K)*)
Wakati nitakapopenda, nitawaadhibu; mataifa yatakusanywa dhidi yao ili kuwaweka katika vifungo kwa ajili ya dhambi zao mbili.
11 and Ephraim heifer to learn: teach to love: lover to/for to tread and I to pass upon goodness neck her to ride Ephraim to plow/plot Judah to harrow to/for him Jacob
Efraimu ni mtamba wa ngʼombe aliyefundishwa ambaye hupenda kupura, hivyo nitamfunga nira juu ya shingo yake nzuri. Nitamwendesha Efraimu, Yuda lazima alime, naye Yakobo lazima avunjavunje mabonge ya udongo.
12 to sow to/for you to/for righteousness to reap to/for lip kindness to break to/for you fallow ground and time to/for to seek [obj] LORD till to come (in): come and to shoot righteousness to/for you
Jipandieni wenyewe haki, vuneni matunda ya upendo usio na kikomo, vunjeni ardhi yenu isiyolimwa; kwa kuwa ni wakati wa kumtafuta Bwana, mpaka atakapokuja na kuwanyeshea juu yenu haki.
13 to plow/plot wickedness injustice to reap to eat fruit lie for to trust in/on/with way: conduct your in/on/with abundance mighty man your
Lakini mmepanda uovu, mkavuna ubaya, mmekula tunda la udanganyifu. Kwa sababu mmetegemea nguvu zenu wenyewe na wingi wa mashujaa wenu,
14 and to arise: rise roar in/on/with people your and all fortification your to ruin like/as violence Shalman Beth-arbel Beth-arbel in/on/with day battle mother upon son: child to dash in pieces
mngurumo wa vita utainuka dhidi ya watu wako, ili kwamba ngome zako zote zitaharibiwa: kama Shalmani alivyoharibu Beth-Arbeli katika siku ile ya vita, wakati mama pamoja na watoto wao walipotupwa kwa nguvu ardhini.
15 thus to make: do to/for you Bethel Bethel from face: because distress: evil distress: evil your in/on/with dawn to cease to cease king Israel
Ndivyo itakavyotokea kwako, ee Betheli, kwa sababu uovu wako ni mkuu. Siku ile itakapopambazuka, mfalme wa Israeli ataharibiwa kabisa.
