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.
Tosanyuka ggwe Isirayiri; tojaguza ng’amawanga amalala, kubanga tobadde mwesigwa eri Katonda wo, weegomba empeera eya malaaya ku buli gguuliro.
2 Floor and wine-press do not delight them, And new wine doth fail in her,
Egguuliro n’essogolero tebiribaliisa, ne wayini omusu alibaggwaako.
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.
Tebalisigala mu nsi ya Mukama; Efulayimu aliddayo e Misiri n’alya emmere etali nnongoofu mu Bwasuli.
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.
Tebaliwaayo biweebwayo ebya wayini eri Mukama, so ne ssaddaaka zaabwe tezirimusanyusa. Ssaddaaka zaabwe ziriba ng’emmere ey’abakungubazi, ne bonna abaliziryako balifuuka abatali balongoofu. Emmere eyo eriba yaabwe bo, so teriyingizibwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
5 What do ye at the day appointed? And at the day of Jehovah's festival?
Kiki ky’olikola ku lunaku olw’embaga ezaalondebwa, ku lunaku olw’embaga ya Mukama?
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.
Ne bwe baliwona okuzikirira, Misiri alibakuŋŋaanya, ne Menfisi alibaziika. Eby’obugagga byabwe ebya ffeeza birizika, n’eweema zaabwe zirimeramu amaggwa.
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.
Ennaku ez’okubonerezebwa zijja, ennaku ez’okusasulirwamu ziri kumpi. Ekyo Isirayiri akimanye. Olw’ebibi byammwe okuba ebingi ennyo, n’obukambwe bwammwe obungi, nnabbi ayitibwa musirusiru, n’oyo eyabikkulirwa mumuyita mugu wa ddalu.
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.
Nnabbi awamu ne Katonda wange ye mukuumi wa Efulayimu, newaakubadde nga waliwo emitego mu kkubo lye, n’obukambwe mu nnyumba ya Katonda we.
9 They have gone deep — have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He doth remember their iniquity, He doth inspect their sins.
Boonoonye nnyo nnyini nga mu nnaku ez’e Gibea. Katonda alijjukira obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’ababonereza olw’ebibi byabwe.
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.
We nasangira Isirayiri, kyali nga kulaba zabbibu mu ddungu. Bwe nalaba bajjajjammwe, kyali nga kulaba ebibala ebisooka ku mutiini. Naye bwe bajja e Baalipyoli, beewonga eri ekifaananyi eky’ensonyi, ne bafuuka ekyenyinnyalwa ng’ekifaananyi kye baayagala.
11 Ephraim [is] as a fowl, Fly away doth their honour, without birth, And without womb, and without conception.
Ekitiibwa kya Efulayimu kiribuuka ne kigenda ng’ekinyonyi nga tewali kuzaala, newaakubadde okuba olubuto newaakubadde okufuna olubuto.
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.
Ne bwe balikuza abaana baabwe, ndibabaggyako bonna. Ziribasanga bwe ndibavaako.
13 Ephraim! when I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out unto a slayer his sons.
Nalaba Efulayimu ng’asimbiddwa mu kifo ekirungi, nga Ttuulo bw’ali. Naye Efulayimu alifulumya abaana be ne battibwa.
14 Give to them, Jehovah — what dost Thou give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
Bawe Ayi Mukama Katonda. Olibawa ki? Leetera embuto zaabwe okuvaamu obawe n’amabeere amakalu.
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.
Olw’ebibi byabwe byonna mu Girugaali, kyennava mbakyayira eyo. Olw’ebikolwa byabwe ebitali bya butuukirivu, kyendiva mbagoba mu nnyumba yange. Siribaagala nate; abakulembeze baabwe bonna bajeemu.
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.
Efulayimu balwadde, emirandira gyabwe gikaze, tebakyabala bibala. Ne bwe balizaala abaana baabwe, nditta ezzadde lyabwe lye baagala ennyo.
17 Reject them doth my God, Because they have not hearkened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!
Katonda wange alibavaako kubanga tebamugondedde; baliba momboze mu mawanga.
