Hosea 8
1 'Unto thy mouth — a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
“Ket turumbete e dhogi mondo igo! Ongo ni ewi od Jehova Nyasaye, nikech ji oseketho singruokna kendo gisekwedo chikna.
2 To Me they cry, 'My God, we — Israel — have known Thee.'
Jo-Israel noywakna niya, ‘Yaye Nyasachwa, wayangi!’
3 Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.
To wasigu biro lawo Israel nikech gisekwedo gima ber.
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
Giketo ruodhi e loch ka ok gipenja; kendo giyiero jotelo ka ok gingʼeyo parona. Giloso nyiseche manono kuom fedha gi dhahabu ma gin-go, to magi kelonegi mana kethruok.
5 Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?
Yaye Samaria, wit oko nyasachi mar nyaroya! Mirimba ger kodgi. Nyaka karangʼo ma ok ginyal bedo maler?
6 For even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
Gin joma oa Israel! Nyaroyani oselos mana gi lwet dhano omiyo ok en Nyasaye. Nyaroya mar Samaria-no noto matindo tindo.
7 For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none — a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield — strangers do swallow it up.
“Gichwoyo yamo to gikayo kalausi. Gin gi cham ma ok ket wiye; kendo ok onyal kelo mogo. To kane onyalo nyago cham, to jopinje mamoko dochame duto.
8 Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
Israel osetiek duto; kendo sani en e kind ogendini, mana kaka gima nono.
9 For they — they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
Gisedhi nyaka Asuria mana kaka kanyna mar bungu mabayo abaya. Efraim oseusore ne joherane.
10 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
Kata obedo ni giseusore kendgi e kind ogendini, abiro chokogi kaachiel. Gibiro lal nono kendo enosandgi e bwo loch mar ruoth maratego.
11 Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
“Kata ka obedo ni Efraim nogero kende mangʼeny mag misango mar golo richo, kendegi osebedo mar timo richo.
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
Ne andiko negi gik mangʼeny mag chikena, to ne gikawogi kaka gigo ma welo kuomgi.
13 The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They — [to] Egypt they turn back.
Gichiwo misengni mokelna kendo gichamo ring misenginigo, to Jehova Nyasaye ok mor kodgi. Omiyo sani obiro paro anjawo ma gitimo kendo enokumgi kuom richogi. Ginidogi Misri.
14 And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!
Jo-Israel wigi osewil gi Jachwechgi, mi gigero ute mag ruodhi; Juda osechielo mier madongo mangʼeny. To anaor mach e miechgi madongogo mitiek kargi mar pondono.”
