Hosea 5

1 'Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For, a snare ye have been on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.

“Winjuru ma, un jodolo! Chikuru itu, un jo-Israel! Winjuru, yaye jood ruoth! Kumni obironu: Usebedo obadho e Mizpa, gogo mopedhi ewi Tabor.

2 And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a fetter to them all.

Joma ongʼanyo ni e tho malich. Abiro kumogi giduto.

3 I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.

Angʼeyo gik moko duto kuom Efraim; onge gima opondona kuom jo-Israel. Efraim, un to usedoko kaka ochot; to jo-Israel timo timbe modwanyore.

4 They give not up their habitual doings, To turn back unto their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And Jehovah they have not known.

“Timbegi omonogi duogo ir Nyasachgi. Tim marach mar chode ni e chunygi; ok giyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye.

5 And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.

Sungruok mar jo-Israel nyiso rachgi; jo-Israel kaachiel gi Efraim podho e richogi; kendo jo-Juda bende podho kodgi.

6 With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.

Ka gidhi gi kweth dhogi kaachiel gi chiachgi mondo gitim misengni ni Jehova Nyasaye, to ok giniyude nikech osewuok moa kuomgi.

7 Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month [with] their portions.

Gisebedo joma ok jo-adiera ni Jehova Nyasaye; ginywolo nyithindo ma kimirwa. Sewni ma gitimo ka dwe owuok biro tiekogi kaachiel gi puothegi.

8 Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.

“Gouru turumbete e dala mar Gibea, gouru abu e dala mar Rama. Gouru nduru mar lweny e dala mar Beth Aven; yaye, jo-Benjamin teluru.

9 Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.

Efraim biro bet gunda ka chiengʼ makumogie ochopo. Alando gima nyaka timre e kind dhout Israel.

10 Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.

Jotend Juda chalo gi joma ochoro kite man e kiewo. Abiro olo mirimba kuomgi mana ka pi oula.

11 Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.

Jo-Efraim ibiro toyo ka bura oloyogi, nikech giketo chunygi mar luwo nyiseche manono.

12 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.

Achalo gi oguyo ne jo-Efraim, achalo gima otop ne jo-Juda.

13 And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.

“Ka Efraim noneno tuone, kendo Juda oneno adhondene, eka Efraim nodwaro kony kuom Asuria, kendo gikwayo kony ir ruoth maduongʼ. To ok onyal thiedhou, ok onyal thiedho adhondeu.

14 For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I — I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.

Abiro bedo ka sibuor ni Efraim, kaka sibuor malich ni Juda. Abiro kidhogi matindo tindo bangʼe to abiro weyogi. Anatingʼ-gi matergi mabor, maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi.

15 I go — I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'

Bangʼe to anadog kar dakna, nyaka chop kinde maginiyie ni giseketho. Giniduog ira ka gidwara gi chunygi duto nikech thagruok malit magiseyudo.”
