Hosea 9
1 'Rejoice not, O Israel, be not joyful like the peoples, For thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God, Thou hast loved a gift near all floors of corn.
Aṅụrịla ọṅụ, gị Izrel, ka obi ghara ịtọkwa gị ụtọ dịka ọ na-atọ ndị mba ọzọ, nʼihi na ị jụla Chineke gị, bido ịgba akwụna i hụrụ ụgwọ ọrụ ịkwa iko nʼanya nʼelu ebe ịzọcha ọka niile.
2 Floor and wine-press do not delight them, And new wine doth fail in her,
Ebe ịzọcha mkpụrụ ọka na ebe ịzọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị agaghị azụ ha nri, mmanya ọhụrụ ga-agharịpụ ha.
3 They do not abide in the land of Jehovah, And turned back hath Ephraim [to] Egypt, And in Asshur an unclean thing they eat.
Ha agaghị anọgidekwa nʼala Onyenwe anyị, ma Ifrem ga-alaghachi nʼala Ijipt nọdụ nʼAsịrịa rie nri rụrụ arụ.
4 They pour not out wine to Jehovah, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It doth not come into the house of Jehovah.
Ha agaghị awụsa ihe ọṅụṅụ dịka aja nye Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọdịghị aja ha ga-achụ ga-atọ ya ụtọ. Aja ndị a ga-adị ha ka nri nke ndị na-eru ụjụ si dị. Onye ọbụla riri nri ndị a ga-abụ onye na-adịghị ọcha. Nri ndị a ga-adịrị naanị ha onwe ha, ha agaghị ewebata ya nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
5 What do ye at the day appointed? And at the day of Jehovah's festival?
Gịnị ọzọ ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị mmemme unu ndị ahụ a kara aka, ma nʼụbọchị mmemme nke Onyenwe anyị?
6 For, lo, they have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathereth them, Moph burieth them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them — a thorn [is] in their tents.
A sịkwa na ha agbanarị mbibi, ndị Ijipt ga-achịkọta ha. Ndị Memfis ga-elikwa ha. Akụnụba nke ọlaọcha ha ka uke ga-ewekọrọ, ogwu na uke ga-etokwa nʼime ebe obibi ha niile,
7 Come in have the days of inspection, Come in have the days of recompence, Israel doth know! a fool [is] the prophet, Mad [is] the man of the Spirit, Because of the abundance of thine iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.
Ụbọchị niile nke ntaramahụhụ na-abịa, Ụbọchị ngụkọta ihe abịala nso. Ka Izrel mara nke a. Nʼihi na ịba ụba nke mmehie unu adịla ukwuu, nʼihi na ịkpọ asị unu akarịala, unu na-agụ onye amụma dịka onye nzuzu, na-agụkwa onye nwee Mmụọ nke Chineke dịka onye na-ayị ara.
8 Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! a snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] in the house of his God.
Ma onye amụma bụ onye nche Chineke, na-eche Ifrem nche, ma igbudu nke ọnya jupụtara nʼụzọ ya niile, ịkpọ asị dịkwa nʼime nʼụlọnsọ Chineke ya.
9 They have gone deep — have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He doth remember their iniquity, He doth inspect their sins.
Ha emerụọla onwe ha ebe ọ dị ukwuu, dịka ọ dị nʼụbọchị Gibea. Ọ ga-echeta njehie ha. Ọ ga-enye ha ntaramahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ha niile.
10 As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig-tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They — they have gone in [to] Baal-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And are become abominable like their love.
“Mgbe m chọtara Izrel, ọ dị ka m chọtara mkpụrụ grepu nʼọzara; mgbe m hụrụ nna nna unu ha, ọ dị ka ihu mkpụrụ bụ ụzọ chaa nʼelu osisi fiig. Ma mgbe ha bịaruru na Baal-Peoa, ha doro onwe ha nsọ nyefee nʼaka arụsị ahụ na-eweta ihere, si otu a ghọọ ndị rụrụ arụ, dịka ihe ndị ahụ ha hụrụ nʼanya si bụrụ ihe rụrụ arụ.
11 Ephraim [is] as a fowl, Fly away doth their honour, without birth, And without womb, and without conception.
Nsọpụrụ Ifrem nwere ga-efefu dị ka nnụnụ, nʼihi na ọmụmụ nwa agaghị adị, a gaghị atụkwa ime, agaghị adịkwa ime.
12 For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless — without man, Surely also, woe to them, when I turn aside from them.
A sịkwa na ha azụlite ụmụ ha, aghaghị m ime ka ha nwụọ. Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ha, mgbe m si nʼebe ha nọ wezuga onwe m.
13 Ephraim! when I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out unto a slayer his sons.
Ahụla m na Ifrem yiri Taịa, bụ ihe akụnyere nʼala mara mma. Ma Ifrem ga-eji aka ya kpọpụta ụmụ ya nye ndị ga-egbu ha.”
14 Give to them, Jehovah — what dost Thou give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
Biko, Onyenwe anyị nye ha. Gịnị ka i kwesiri inye ha? Nye ha akpanwa nke nwa na-adịghị anọgide nʼime ya, na ara nke mmiri ara na-adịghị.
15 All their evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I do drive them, I add not to love them, all their heads [are] apostates.
“Ihe ọjọọ ha niile bidoro na Gilgal, akpọrọ m ha asị nʼebe ahụ. Nʼihi omume mmehie ha niile, aghaghị m isite nʼụlọ m chụpụ ha. Agaghị m ahụkwa ha nʼanya ọzọ, ndị ndu ha niile bụ ndị nnupu isi.
16 Ephraim hath been smitten, Their root hath dried up, fruit they yield not, Yea, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired of their womb.
Etigbuola Ifrem, mgbọrọgwụ ha akpọnwụọla, ha agaghị amịkwa mkpụrụ. A sịkwarị na ha amụọ ụmụ, aga m egbu ụmụ ha niile, ndị ha hụrụ nʼanya.”
17 Reject them doth my God, Because they have not hearkened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!
Chineke m ga-ajụ ha, nʼihi na ha adịghị ege ya ntị maọbụ rube isi. Ha ga-aghọ ndị na-awagharị awagharị na-enweghị ụlọ, nʼetiti mba niile.
