Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
Yeroo Efreem dubbatetti namoonni ni hollatan; inni Israaʼel keessatti ol ol jedhee ture. Garuu yakka Baʼaalin waaqeffachuutiin duʼe.
2 Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, ‘They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.’
Isaan ammas itti deddeebiʼanii cubbuu hojjetu; meetii ofii isaaniitiin waaqa tolfamaa tolfatu; fakkii mimmiidhagaa kanneen hundi isaanii harka ogeeyyiitiin hojjetaman. Waaʼee saba kanaas, “Isaan nama qalanii aarsaa dhiʼeessu; waaqa tolfamaa jabbiis ni dhungatu!” jedhame.
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.
Kanaafuu isaan akkuma hurrii ganamaa, akkuma fixeensa barii baduu, akkuma habaqii oobdii midhaan itti dhaʼan irraa kaʼuu akkuma aara foddaadhaan baʼuu ni taʼu.
4 “Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no saviour.
“Ani garuu yeroo ati Gibxii baatee jalqabee Waaqayyo Waaqa kee ti. Ati ana malee Waaqa tokko illee beekuu hin qabdu; ana malee fayyisaa tokko illee hin qabdu.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Ani gammoojjii keessatti, biyya hoʼa gubaa keessatti si kunuunseera.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
Yeroo ani isaan sooretti ni quufan; isaan yeroo quufanitti of tuulan; ergasii immoo na irraanfatan.
7 Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
Kanaafuu ani akkuma leencaa isaanitti nan taʼa; akkuma qeerransaa riphee daandii irratti isaan nan eeggadha.
8 I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
Ani akkuma amaaketa ilmaan ishee jalaa fudhatamaniitti isaan lolee garaa isaanii nan baqaqsa. Ani akkuma leencaatti qorqee isaan nan nyaadha; bineensi bosonaa gargar isaan ciccira.
9 You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
“Yaa Israaʼel, waan ana gargaaraa kee mormiteef ati baddeerta.
10 Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?
Akka si oolchuuf mootiin kee eessa jira? Bulchitoonni kee warri magaalaa kee hunda keessaa kanneen ati, ‘Mootii fi ilmaan moototaa naaf kenni’ jettee kadhatte sun eessa jiru?
11 I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
Ani aarii kootiin mootii siifan kenne; dheekkamsa kootiin immoo isa sirraa nan fudhadhe.
12 The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
Balleessaan Efreem walitti kuufamee cubbuun isaas galmeeffameera.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son, for when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb.
Miixuun akkuma dubartii ciniinsuun qabatteetti isatti dhufa; inni garuu daaʼima wallaalaa dha; inni yommuu yeroon gaʼutti, gadameessa keessaa baʼuu hin fedhu.
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
“Ani saba kana humna awwaalaa jalaa nan baraara; duʼa jalaa isaan nan baasa. Yaa duʼa, dhaʼichi kee meerre? Yaa awwaala, balleessuun kee meerre? “Ani gara laafina tokko illee hin qabaadhu; (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he is fruitful amongst his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
Yoo inni obboloota ofii gidduu jireenya tolaa jiraate iyyuu, bubbeen baʼaa Waaqayyo biraa ni dhufa; lafa gammoojjii keessaa ni bubbisa; burqaan isaa bishaan dhaba; boolli bishaan isaas ni goga. Mankuusni isaa, qabeenyi inni qabu hundis ni saamama.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
Sabni Samaariyaa waan Waaqa isaatti fincileef gatii balleessaa isaa ni argata. Isaan goraadeedhaan dhumu; daaʼimman isaanii lafatti harcaafamu; dubartoonni isaanii kanneen ulfa qabanis ni baqaqfamu.”
