Hosea 10
1 Israel [is] an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit to himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
Izrel bụ osisi vaịnị dị mma, nke na-amịta mkpụrụ nke ukwuu. Dịka mkpụrụ ya na-aba ụba, otu a ka o si amụba ebe ịchụ aja ya. Dịka ala ya na-abawanyekwa ụba otu a ka o si edoziri onwe ya nkume dị nsọ.
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
Obi ha dị aghụghọ, ma ugbu a, ha ga-ata ahụhụ maka ikpe ọmụma ha. Onyenwe anyị ga-akwatu ebe nchụaja ha, ma mebikwaa ogidi nkume nsọ ha niile.
3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
Ma ugbu a, ha ga-asị, “Anyị enweghị eze, nʼihi na anyị anaghị atụ Onyenwe anyị egwu, ma olee ihe eze nwere ike ị mere anyị?”
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Ha na-ekwu okwu na-abaghị uru, were ịṅụ iyi na-agbakwa ndụ, ya mere ikpe ikpe jiri jupụta nʼebe niile, dịka ahịhịa ọjọọ nʼubi.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven: for its people shall mourn over it, and its priests [that] rejoiced on it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.
Ndị bi na Sameria ga-atụ ụjọ nʼihi chi nke nwa ehi a kpụrụ akpụ dị na Bet-Aven. Ndị ya ga-eruru ya ụjụ, otu a kwa ka ndị nchụaja ya rụrụ arụ ga-esi ruoru ya ụjụ, maka ebube nke a napụrụ ya.
6 It shall also be carried to Assyria, [for] a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Ha ga-eburu ha gaa Asịrịa, dịka onyinye ịnata ihuọma a ga-enye eze ukwu ahụ. A ga-emenye Ifrem ihere nʼihu, Izrel ga-ekpudokwa ihu nʼala maka mmekọrịta ya na ndị mba ọzọ.
7 [As for] Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
A ga-ala eze Sameria nʼiyi dịka irighiri osisi nʼelu mmiri niile,
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
a ga-ebibicha ebe niile dị elu nke ihe ọjọọ, bụ Aven, ọ bụ ya bụ mmehie ndị Izrel, ogwu na uke ga-etolitekwa, nʼebe nchụaja ha. Mgbe ahụ ha ga-asị, ugwu ukwu niile, “Kpuchite anyị!” Sịkwa ugwu nta niile, “Dakwasị anyị!”
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
“Site nʼụbọchị nke Gibea, gị Izrel nọ na mmehie, i nwebeghị ike site na mmehie ndị a wezuga onwe gị. Ọ bụ na agha agaghị eri ha bụ ndị na-eme ajọọ omume na Gibea?
10 [It is] in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
Aga m abịa buso ndị mmehie a agha, nye ya ahụhụ; mba ndị ọzọ ga-ebilite megide ha, taa ha ahụhụ nʼihi ajọ omume abụọ ha.
11 And Ephraim [is as] a heifer [that is] taught, [and] loveth to tread out [the corn]; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, [and] Jacob shall break his clods.
Ifrem bụ nne ehi a zụrụ azụ nke hụrụ ịzọcha ọka nʼanya, nʼihi ya, M ga-ekonye ịyagba nʼolu nʼolu ọma ya ahụ. Aga m agba Ifrem dịka ịnyịnya, Juda aghaghị ịkọ ala ubi Jekọb ga-akọze ala nye onwe ya.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for [it is] time to seek the LORD, till he shall come and reign righteousness upon you.
Ya mere, ghaanụ mkpụrụ ezi omume maka onwe unu, unu ga-aghọtakwa mkpụrụ ịhụnanya. Kọgharịakwanụ obi unu siri ike, nʼihi na ugbu a bụ oge ịchọ Onyenwe anyị, tutu ruo mgbe ọ bịara wụkwasị unu mmiri ozuzo dịka ezi omume.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou hast trusted in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Ma unu akụọla mkpụrụ ajọ omume; unu aghọtakwala ihe ọjọọ dịka ihe ubi. Unu eriela mkpụrụ osisi ụgha. Nʼihi na unu atụkwasịla obi unu nʼịdị ike nke onwe unu, na nʼịdị ọtụtụ nke ndị bụ dike nʼagha unu.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be plundered, as Shalman plundered Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon [her] children.
Nʼihi ya, ụzụ nke ibu agha aghaghị ibili nʼetiti unu, ebe unu niile e wusiri ike ga-ada. Ọ ga-ada dịka Shalman si bibie Bet Abel nʼụbọchị agha, mgbe a tụpịara ndị bụ nne na ụmụ ha.
15 So shall Beth-el do to you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.
Ọ bụ ihe dị otu a ga-adakwasị gị, Betel, nʼihi na ajọ omume gị dị ukwuu. Mgbe chi ụbọchị ahụ bọrọ, a ga-ala eze Izrel nʼiyi kpamkpam.
