Hosea 13
1 [Previously], when [the leaders of] Israel spoke, the people trembled; those leaders were highly respected by the Israeli people. But the people sinned greatly by [worshiping] Baal, so now they will be killed [by their enemies].
Musa: , Ifala: ime fi da sia: beba: le, Isala: ili fi eno da beda: i galu. Ilia da Ifala: ime fi ilima nodone ba: i. Be ilia da Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadobeba: le, wadela: le hamoi. Amo hamobeba: le, ilia da bogosu dabe lamu.
2 Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves [and coat the idols] with their silver. Those idols are statues that are very cleverly made, but those statues are made by [mere] humans. But [the people are told], “Kiss those idols [that resemble a] calf, and offer sacrifices to them!”
Ilia da wadela: i hou hamonana. Ilia da loboga ogogole ouli ‘gode’ hamone, ilima nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , hamosa. Ilia silifaga ogogole ‘gode’ hamosa. Amo ilia da asigi dawa: su ganodini dawa: le, loboga hamosa. Amasea, ilia da amane sia: sa, “Amoga gobele salasu hou hamoma!” Mafua dunu da habodane udigili loboga hamoi bulamagau gawali amo nonogoma: bela: ?
3 Therefore, those people will [disappear quickly] like [SIM] the morning mist or the dew that lies [on the ground] early [in the morning]; [they will disappear] like [SIM] chaff that is blown away from where [the wheat] is threshed, like [SIM] smoke that goes out of a chimney.
Amaiba: le, amo dunu da hahabe mobi defele hedolowane geamu. Ilia da hahabe oubi baea geabe defele, hedolo alalolesi dagoi ba: mu. Ilia da hafoga: i gisi amo dadabisu sogebiga foga mini ahoa amola mobi amo da mobi heda: suga ahoabe, agoane ba: mu.
4 But [Yahweh says to his people], “I am Yahweh, your God, [the one who brought your ancestors] out of Egypt. You must believe that only I am God and that there is no other God, and that there is no one else who can save you!
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da dilia Hina Gode! Na da dili Idibidi sogega esalu fisili masa: ne gadili asunasi. Dilia da eno Gode hame, Na fawane. Nisu da dilia Gaga: su Dunu.
5 I took care of your [ancestors when they were] in the desert, where it was extremely [hot and] dry.
Na da hafoga: i wadela: i soge ganodini dili ouligi.
6 When I provided food for them, their [stomachs] were full, and they were satisfied. But then they became proud and they forgot [about] me, [and you are like your ancestors]!
Be dilia da soge noga: idafa amo ganodini golili sa: ili, hedolowane sadi dagoi ba: i. Amalalu, dilia da gasa fili, dilia Na gogolei.
7 So I will attack you like [SIM] a lion [attacks other animals]; I will be like [SIM] a leopard that waits beside the road [to attack another animal].
Amaiba: le, Na da laione wa: me defele, dilima doagala: mu. Na da ‘lebade’ wa: me defele, dilima doagala: musa: logo legei dialumu.
8 Like [SIM] a female bear attacks anyone that steals her cubs, I will attack you Israelis and rip you open. I will completely destroy you like [SIM] lions or [other] wild animals tear apart the animals that they catch and devour them.
Bea wa: me amo ea mano fisi defele, Na da dilima doagala: le, dilia da: i dudugale fasimu.
9 [You people of] Israel, you will be destroyed because you oppose me, the only one who (can help/helps) you.
Isala: ili fi dunu! Na da dili wadela: lesimu. Amasea, dili fidima: ne, nowa esalabala?
10 You have a king; (why is he [unable to save you]?/but he is [unable to save you].) [RHQ] You have [RHQ] rulers in all your towns, but they are not helping you, [either]. Your [ancestors] said, ‘Appoint for us a king and [other] leaders [to rule over us] [like the other nations have]!’
Dilia da hina bagade amola ouligisu dunu lama: ne adole ba: su. Be ilia da habodane dilia fi gaga: ma: bela: ?
11 I was angry with them [for requesting that], but I appointed a king [to rule over] them. But [later] I became very angry with them [again], so I took their king away.
Na da dilima ougiba: le, hina bagade ili dilima i. Amola Na da baligiliwane ougiba: le, amo hina bagade ili fadegai.
12 [I have written on a scroll] a record of the sins that have been committed by you people of Israel, and I have stored away that record.
Isala: ili ea wadela: i hou da dedena sa: i dagoi, amola amo dedena sa: i da noga: le momagele legei diala.
13 You people are not wise; and now [you are helpless]. You are like [MET] a woman who is having birth pains but who is unable to give birth to the baby.
Isala: ili da fifi masunu gala. Be e da gagaouiba: le, fifi masunu da hamedei ba: mu. E da mano dudubu lalelegemu gadenei gala, amo da ea ame ea hagomo yolesimu hihini dialebe, amo agoaiwane gala.
14 I certainly will not [RHQ] save you from being killed and from going to the place where the dead people are. I will [RHQ] cause you to be afflicted by plagues and to die and be buried in graves. I will not be merciful [to you]. (Sheol h7585)
Na da amo fi dunu da bogoi soge amoga mae sa: ima: ne amola bogosu ea gasaga mae fama: ne, hamedafa gaga: mu. Bogosu! Dia olo gia: su amo oule misa! Bogoi soge! Dia wadela: su oule misa! Na da amo dunu fi ilima bu hame asigimu. (Sheol h7585)
15 Even if you people of Israel prosper more than the nearby nations do, [the army of Assyria] will come [like] [MET] an east wind that blows from the desert; the springs and wells in Israel will become dry; and [your enemies] will take away all your valuable possessions.
Be Isala: ili da wadela: i gagalobo defele, hahawane heda: i dagoi ba: sa ganiaba, Na da gia: i bagade gusudili mabe fo hafoga: i sogega misi amo iasili, amo da ilia gu hano bubuga: su amola hano uli dogoi hafoga: mu. Amo fo da ilia noga: i liligi huluanedafa mini fasimu.
16 [You people of] Samaria must be punished because you have rebelled against [me], your God. You will be killed by [your enemies’] swords; your little children will be [killed by being] dashed/thrown to the ground; the [bellies of] women [among you] will be ripped open.”
Samelia fi da Nama lelei dagoiba: le, ilia da se dabe iasu ba: ma: mu. Samelia fi dunu da gegesu ganodini bogomu. Mano dudubu da osoba gisalugala: i dagoi ba: mu. Amola abula agui uda ilia da: i da dudugai dagoi ba: mu.”
