Hosea 10
1 Isiraeli aarĩ ta mũthabibũ watheeremaga, nake agĩĩciarĩra maciaro. O ũrĩa maciaro make maingĩhaga-rĩ, noguo nake aakaga igongona nyingĩ; o ũrĩa bũrũri wake wagaacagĩra-rĩ, noguo aagemagia mahiga make marĩa maamũre ma kũhooyagwo.
“Israel [is] an empty vine, He makes fruit like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He has multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made good standing-pillars.
2 Ngoro ciao nĩ cia maheeni, na rĩu no nginya marĩhio wĩhia wao. Jehova nĩakamomora igongona ciao, na athũkangie mahiga macio mao maamũre ma kũhooyagwo.
Their heart has been divided, now they are guilty, He breaks down their altars, He destroys their standing-pillars.
3 Ningĩ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “Tũtirĩ na mũthamaki, tondũ tũtiigana gũtĩĩa Jehova. No o na korwo twarĩ na mũthamaki-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩahotire gũtwĩkĩra?”
For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared YHWH, And the king—what does he do for us?
4 Meranagĩra ciĩranĩro nyingĩ, na makehĩta mĩĩhĩtwa ya maheeni, na magathondeka irĩkanĩro; nĩ ũndũ ũcio maciira makunũkaga ta mahuti marĩ ũrogi marĩa mameraga hianyũ-inĩ.
They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb has judgment, on the furrows of a field.
5 Andũ arĩa matũũraga Samaria metangaga nĩ ũndũ wa mũhianano wa njaũ ĩrĩa ya Bethi-Aveni. Amu andũ akuo nĩmakamĩcakaĩra, na noguo athĩnjĩri-ngai a mĩhianano ĩyo mageeka arĩa makenagĩra riiri wayo, tondũ nĩyeheretio kuuma kũrĩ o, ĩgathaamĩrio kũndũ kũngĩ.
For the inhabitants of Samaria fear the calves of Beth-Aven, Surely its people have mourned on account of it, And its priests leap about on account of it, Because of its glory, for it has removed from it,
6 Nayo ĩgaatwarwo Ashuri, ĩtuĩke kĩheo kũrĩ mũthamaki ũcio mũnene. Efiraimu nĩagaconorithio; Isiraeli nake nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yake ya mĩtĩ.
Also, it is carried to Asshur, a present to a warlike king, Ephraim receives shame, And Israel is ashamed of its own counsel.
7 Samaria na mũthamaki wakuo magaathererio ta karũhonge karĩ igũrũ wa maaĩ, maniinwo.
Samaria is cut off! Its king [is] as wrath on the face of the waters.
8 Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwĩkagĩrwo waganu nĩgũkanangwo, na nĩkuo kwene wĩhia wa Isiraeli. Mĩigua na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ nĩcio igaakũra kuo, nacio ihumbĩre igongona ciao. Nao andũ nĩmakeera irĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũhumbĩrei!” na macooke meere tũrĩma atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩrei!”
And high places of Aven have been destroyed, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall on us.
9 “Wee Isiraeli-rĩ, kuuma o matukũ-inĩ ma Gibea ũtũũrĩte wĩhagia, na ũguo noguo ũtũũraga. Githĩ mbaara ndĩakinyĩire eeki ũũru kũu Gibea?
From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Battle does not overtake them in Gibeah, Because of sons of perverseness.
10 Rĩrĩa niĩ ngenda, nĩngamaherithia; ndũrĩrĩ nĩigacookanĩrĩra, imokĩrĩre nĩguo imoohe imatahe nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao kũingĩha.
When I desire, then I bind them, And peoples have gathered against them, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
11 Efiraimu nĩ moori menyerie wĩra ĩrĩa yendete gũkonyora ngano; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamĩoha icooki ngingo-inĩ yayo thaka. Nĩngatwarithia Efiraimu, Juda no nginya agaacimba na mũraũ, nake Jakubu no nginya agaacimba gĩtira.
And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer—loving to thresh, And I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Judah plows, Jacob harrows for him.
12 Rĩu-rĩ, mwĩhaandĩrei ũhoro wa ũthingu, nĩguo mwĩgethere maciaro ma wendo ũtathiraga, na mũciimbe mĩgũnda yanyu ya ngamba; nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩ ikinyu rĩa kũrongooria Jehova, nginya rĩrĩa agooka, oirie mbura ya ũthingu igũrũ rĩanyu.
Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek YHWH, Until He comes and shows righteousness to you.
13 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũhaandĩte waganu, mũkagetha ũũru; inyuĩ mũrĩĩte maciaro ma maheeni. Tondũ mwĩhokaga hinya wanyu inyuĩ ene, o na wa njamba cianyu nyingĩ cia ita-rĩ,
You have plowed wickedness, Perversity you have reaped, You have eaten the fruit of lying, For you have trusted in your way, In the abundance of your might.
14 mũrurumo wa mbaara nĩũgokĩrĩra andũ aku. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ciikaro ciaku iria nũmu nĩikaanangwo, o ta ũrĩa Shalimani aanangire Bethi-Arabeli mũthenya ũrĩa wa mbaara, rĩrĩa manyina ma twana maatungumanirio thĩ hamwe na twana twao.
And a tumult rises among your people, And all your fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
15 Ũguo noguo ũgeekwo wee Betheli, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu waku mũnene. Rĩrĩa mũthenya ũcio ũgaakĩa-rĩ, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakaniinwo biũ.
Thus has Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn a king of Israel is utterly cut off!”
