Hosea 7
1 “and when I wanted to heal them [again], [I did not do it, ] [because] I saw the wicked things that [the people of] Samaria [city] and [other places in] Israel [DOU] have done. They constantly deceive others; bandits rob people in the streets.
Nang aking pagagalingin ang Israel, ang kasamaan nga ng Ephraim ay lumitaw, at ang kasamaan ng Samaria; sapagka't sila'y nagsinungaling; at ang magnanakaw ay pumapasok, at ang pulutong ng mga tulisan ay nananamsam sa labas.
2 But they do not realize that I do not forget all the evil things that they do. [It is as though] they are surrounded by [all] the sins that they commit; and [it is though] those sins are [always right] in front of me [MTY].
At hindi nila ginugunita sa kanilang mga puso na aking inaalaala ang lahat nilang kasamaan: ngayo'y kinukulong sila sa palibot ng kanilang sariling mga gawa; sila'y nangasa harap ko.
3 Their king is delighted with the wicked things that the people do; his officials are happy about the people’s lies.
Kanilang pinasasaya ng kanilang kasamaan ang hari, at ng kanilang pagsisinungaling ang mga prinsipe.
4 [The king and his officials] are all treacherous. [They are always eager to do wicked things; ] they are like [SIM] an oven that is [very] hot: a baker mixes the dough and waits for it to expand, and he does not [need to] cause the oven to become hotter.
Silang lahat ay mga mangangalunya; sila'y parang hurnong iniinit ng magtitinapay; siya'y tumitigil na magsulong ng apoy, mula sa paggawa ng masa hanggang sa umaasim.
5 The king and his officials get very drunk during their festivals, carousing with others who also do foolish things.
Nang kaarawan ng ating hari ang mga prinsipe ay nagpakasakit sa pamamagitan ng tapang ng alak; kaniyang iniuunat ang kaniyang kamay sa mga mangduduwahagi.
6 The officials angrily plan to murder the king; it is like [SIM] they have an oven in their inner beings. All during the night their [eagerness/wanting to murder the king] is like a fire that is smouldering, but in the morning it becomes like [MET] a roaring fire.
Sapagka't kanilang inihanda ang kanilang puso na parang hurno, samantalang sila'y nangagaabang: ang kanilang magtitinapay ay natutulog magdamag; sa kinaumagaha'y nagniningas na parang liyab na apoy.
7 All those officials are like [MET] hot flames that completely burn up their rulers, so all their kings are murdered, and no one pleads with me [to help them].”
Silang lahat ay nangagiinit na parang hurno, at nilalamon ang kanilang mga hukom; lahat nilang hari ay nangabuwal: wala sa kanila na tumawag sa akin.
8 “[The leaders of] Israel join with leaders of [godless] nations; so [the leaders of] Israel are [as worthless as] a pancake that is cooked on only one side.
Ang Ephraim, nakikisalamuha sa mga bayan; ang Ephraim ay isang tinapay na hindi binalik.
9 Joining with the rulers of foreign nations has caused Israel to be a weak [nation], but the Israelis do not realize that. Israel has become [like] [MET] a gray-haired old man, but the people of Israel do not realize it.
Nilamon ng mga taga ibang lupa ang kaniyang yaman, at hindi niya nalalaman: oo, mga uban ay nasasabog sa kaniya, at hindi niya nalalaman.
10 Their being proud [PRS] testifies against them, but in spite of that, they do not return to [me], Yahweh, their God, or [even] try to know me.
At ang kapalaluan ng Israel ay nagpapatotoo sa kaniyang mukha: gayon ma'y hindi sila nanumbalik sa Panginoon nilang Dios, ni hinanap man siya nila, dahil sa lahat na ito.
11 [The people of] Israel have become foolish and stupid like [SIM] doves. [First] they called out to Egypt [to help them], [and then] they sought help from Assyria.
At ang Ephraim ay parang isang mangmang na kalapati, na walang unawa sila'y nagsitawag sa Egipto, sila'y nagsiparoon sa Asiria.
12 But wherever they go [to get help], [I will not allow them to succeed]; [it will be as though] [MET] I will throw a net over them like [SIM] [a hunter uses a net to capture] birds; I will punish them for the evil things that they do.
Pagka sila'y magsisiyaon, ay aking ilaladlad ang aking lambat sa kanila; akin silang ibabagsak na parang mga ibon sa himpapawid; aking parurusahan sila, gaya ng narinig sa kanilang kapisanan.
13 Terrible things will happen to them because they abandoned/deserted me! They will be destroyed because they rebelled against me. I wanted to rescue them, but they tell lies about me.
Sa aba nila! sapagka't sila'y nagsilayas sa akin; kagibaa'y suma kanila! sapagka't sila'y nagsisalangsang laban sa akin: bagaman sila'y aking tinubos, gayon ma'y nangagsalita ng kasinungalingan sila laban sa akin.
14 They do not cry out to me sincerely [IDM]; they [only] lie on their beds and wail. They gather together and ask [me to give them] grain and wine, but they turn away from me.
At sila'y hindi nagsidaing sa akin ng kanilang puso, kundi sila'y nagsiangal sa kanilang mga higaan: sila'y nagpupulong dahil sa trigo at alak; sila'y nanganghimagsik laban sa akin.
15 I trained/taught them and enabled them to become strong, but now they plan [to do] evil things to me.
Bagaman aking tinuruan at pinalakas ang kanilang mga bisig, gayon ma'y nangagisip sila ng kalikuan laban sa akin.
16 They have rejected me, their Great God, and turned to their god Baal; they are [as useless] as [SIM] a crooked bow. Their leaders boast [that they are very strong], but they will be killed by [their enemies’] swords. As a result, [the people of] Egypt will laugh at them.”
Sila'y nanganunumbalik, nguni't hindi sa kaniya na nasa kaitaasan: sila'y parang magdarayang busog: ang kanilang mga prinsipe ay mangabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak dahil sa poot ng kanilang dila: ito ang magiging katuyaan sa kanila sa lupain ng Egipto.
