< Hosea 5 >

1 Preestis, here ye this, and the hous of Israel, perseyue ye, and the hous of the kyng, herkne ye; for whi doom is to you, for ye ben maad a snare to lokyng afer, and as a net spred abrood on Thabor.
“Nụrụnụ nke a, unu ndị nchụaja! Geenụ ntị, unu ụlọ Izrel! Geenụ ntị, unu ndị ezinaụlọ eze. Nʼihi na ọ bụ unu ka ikpe ahụ gbasara. Nʼihi na unu abụrụla ihe ị maa nʼọnya na Mizpa, na ụgbụ agbasara nʼelu Taboa.
2 And ye bowiden doun sacrifices in to depthe; and Y am the lernere of alle hem.
Ndị nnupu isi ahụ abamiela ime nʼigbu mmadụ, aga m ata ha niile ahụhụ.
3 Y knowe Effraym, and Israel is not hid fro me; for now Effraym dide fornicacioun, Israel is defoulid.
Amaara m ihe niile gbasara Ifrem, ọ dịkwaghị ihe zoro ezo banyere Izrel nʼebe m nọ. Gị Ifrem, ugbu a ị gbawala akwụna; gị Izrel, emerụọkwala gị.
4 Thei schulen not yiue her thouytis, that thei turne ayen to her God; for the spirit of fornicacioun is in the myddis of hem, and thei knewen not the Lord.
“Omume ha agaghị ekwe ka ha laghachikwute Chineke ha, nʼihi na mmụọ nke ịkwa iko ewerela ute biri nʼime ha, ha amaghịkwa Onyenwe anyị.
5 And the boost of Israel schal answere in to the face therof, and Israel and Effraym schulen falle in her wickidnesse; also Judas schal falle with hem.
Mpako niile nke Izrel na-agba ama megide ha, Ọ bụladị Izrel na Ifrem na-asọ ngọngọ nʼime mmehie ha, Juda, nʼonwe ya, soo ha na-asọ ngọngọ.
6 In her flockis, and in her droues thei schulen go to seke the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde; he is takun awei fro hem.
Mgbe ha ga-eji igwe ewu na atụrụ ha na igwe ehi ha, gaa ịchọ Onyenwe anyị, ha agaghị achọta ya. Nʼihi na o sitela nʼebe ha nọ wezuga onwe ya.
7 Thei trespassiden ayens the Lord, for thei gendriden alien sones; now the monethe schal deuoure hem with her partis.
Ha bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị. Ha mụrụ ụmụ a kwatara nʼiko. Ugbu a, mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ ha ga-eripịa ha na ala ubi ha.
8 Sowne ye with a clarioun in Gabaa, with a trumpe in Rama; yelle ye in Bethauen, after thi bak, Beniamyn.
“Fụọ opi ike na Gibea, fụkwaa mpi anụ na Rema. Tie mkpu agha na Bet-Aven. Lee anya nʼazụ gị, Benjamin.
9 Effraym schal be in to desolacioun, in the dai of amendyng, and in the lynagis of Israel Y schewide feith.
A ga-ebibi Ifrem kpamkpam nʼụbọchị ahụ m ga-ata ha ahụhụ. Nʼetiti ebo nke Izrel niile, ka m na-ekwusa ka amara na ọ bụ okwu kwesiri ntụkwasị obi.
10 The princes of Juda ben maad as takynge terme; Y schal schede out on hem my wraththe as watir.
Ndị ndu Juda adịla ka ndị ahụ na-ewezuga oke ala, aga m awụkwasị ha iwe m dịka uju mmiri ozuzo.
11 Effraym suffrith fals chalenge, and is brokun bi doom; for he bigan to go after filthis.
Ifrem bụ onye a na-emegbu emegbu, onye e ji ike na-azọpịa, nʼihi na ọ kpacha anya na-achụso ihe efu.
12 And Y am as a mouyte to Effraym, and as rot to the hous of Juda.
Adị m ka nla nye Ifrem, dịkwa ka ihe na-eweta ire ure dịịrị ndị Juda.
13 And Effraym siy his sikenesse, and Judas siy his boond. And Effraym yede to Assur, and sente to the kyng veniere. And he mai not saue you, nether he mai vnbynde the boond fro you.
“Mgbe Ifrem hụrụ ụdị ọrịa ọ na-arịa, Juda ahụkwa ọnya dị ya nʼahụ, mgbe ahụ Ifrem gakwuru ndị Asịrịa, ma zigakwara eze ukwu ahụ ozi. Ma ọ pụghị ịgwọ gị, maọbụ gwọọ ọnya gị niile.
14 For Y am as a lionesse to Effraym, and as a whelp of a lioun to the hous of Juda.
Nʼihi na-aga m adị ka ọdụm nye Ifrem dịkwa ka nwa ọdụm nye Juda. Aga m adọkasị anụ ahụ ha ma hapụ ha pụọ. Aga m ebupụ ha pụọ, na-enweghị onye ga-abịa ịzọpụta ha.
15 Y my silf schal take, and go, and take awei, and noon is that schal delyuere. I schal go, and turne ayen to my place, til ye failen, and seken my face.
Aga m alaghachi azụ nʼọnọdụ m, ruo mgbe ha kweere na ikpe mara ha, ma chọọ ihu m; nʼọnọdụ mmekpa ahụ ha, ha ga-achọsi m ike.”
