< Hosea 4 >

1 Iguai ũhoro wa Jehova, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, tondũ Jehova nĩekũmũthitanga, inyuĩ mũtũũraga thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũyũ: “Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, gũtirĩ na wĩhokeku kana wendo, kana kũmenya Ngai thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũyũ.
Sones of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord, for whi doom is to the Lord with the dwelleris of erthe; for whi trewthe is not, and merci is not, and kunnyng of the Lord is not in erthe.
2 Kĩrĩa kũrĩ no kũrumana, na kũheenania, na ũragani, na ũici, na ũtharia; maũndũ macio makaingĩha mũno, na ũiti wa thakame ũkarũmĩrĩra ũiti wa thakame.
Curs, and leesyng, and manquelling, and thefte, and auowtrie flowiden, and blood touchide blood.
3 Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu bũrũri nĩũracakaya, na arĩa othe matũũraga thĩinĩ waguo makahinyara; nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na thamaki cia iria-inĩ nĩgũkua irakua.
For this thing the erthe schal mourne, and ech that dwellith in that lond, schal be sijk, in the beeste of the feeld, and in the brid of the eir; but also the fischis of the see schulen be gaderid togidere.
4 “No rĩrĩ, ndũkareke mũndũ arehe thitango, mũndũ ndagathitange ũrĩa ũngĩ, nĩgũkorwo andũ anyu mahaana andũ arĩa mathitangaga mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
Netheles ech man deme not, and a man be not repreuyd; for thi puple is as thei that ayen seien the prest.
5 Mũhĩngagwo mũthenya na ũtukũ, na anabii makahĩngwo hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnganiina maitũguo.
And thou schalt falle to dai, and the profete also schal falle with thee; in the niyt Y made thi modir to be stille.
6 Andũ akwa maniinagwo nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga ũmenyo. “Tondũ nĩmũregete ũmenyo, o na niĩ nĩndĩmũregete mũtuĩke athĩnjĩri-Ngai akwa; tondũ nĩmũtiganĩirie watho wa Ngai wanyu, o na niĩ nĩngatiganĩria ciana cianyu.
My puple was stille, for it hadde not kunnyng; for thou hast putte awei kunnyng, Y schal putte thee awei, that thou vse not presthod to me; and for thou hast foryete the lawe of thi God, also Y schal foryete thi sones.
7 O ũrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai maingĩhaga, noguo maakĩragĩrĩria kũnjĩhĩria; nao magĩkũũrania riiri wao na kĩndũ gĩa thoni.
Bi the multitude of hem, so thei synneden ayens me. Y schal chaunge the glorie of hem in to schenschipe.
8 Mehũũnagia na mehia ma andũ akwa, na magakenera waganu wao.
Thei schulen ete the synnes of my puple, and thei schulen reise the soulis of hem to the wickidnesse of hem.
9 Na nĩgũgatuĩka atĩrĩ: O ta ũrĩa andũ makaahaana, no taguo athĩnjĩri-Ngai makaahaana. Nĩngamaherithia othe nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yao, na ndĩmarĩhe kũringana na ciĩko ciao.
And it schal be, as the puple so the prest; and Y schal visite on hym the weies of hym, and Y schal yelde to him the thouytis of hym.
10 “Makaarĩĩaga no matikahũũna, makaahũũraga ũmaraya no matikaingĩha, tondũ nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova nĩguo meheane
And thei schulen ete, and thei schulen not be fillid; thei diden fornicacioun, and ceessiden not, for thei forsoken the Lord in not kepynge.
11 kũrĩ ũmaraya, na kũnyua ndibei ĩrĩa ngũrũ na ya mũhihano, iria cieheragia ũmenyo
Fornycacioun, and wiyn, and drunkenesse doen awei the herte.
12 wa andũ akwa. Mahooyaga kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ mũhianano mũicũhie, naruo rũthanju rwa ũragũri rũkamacookeria ũhoro. Roho wa ũmaraya nĩũmahĩtithagia njĩra; makaaga kwĩhokeka kũrĩ Ngai wao.
My puple axide in his tre, and the staf therof telde to it; for the spirit of fornicacioun disseyuede hem, and thei diden fornicacioun fro her God.
13 Marutagĩra igongona irĩma igũrũ, na magacinĩra maruta ma njino tũrĩma-inĩ, na rungu rwa mũtĩ wa mũgandi, na wa mũribina, o na mũceceni, tondũ kĩĩruru kĩayo nĩ kĩega. Nĩkĩo airĩtu anyu mahũũraga ũmaraya, na atumia a ariũ anyu magatharia.
On the heedis of mounteyns thei maden sacrifice, and on the litil hillis thei brenten encense vndur an ook, and a popeler, and terebynte, for the schadewe therof was good. Therfor youre douytris schulen do fornicacioun, and youre wyues schulen be auoutressis.
14 “Ndikaherithia airĩtu anyu maahũũra ũmaraya, kana herithie atumia a ariũ anyu maatharia, tondũ arũme o ene mathiiaga thiritũ na maraya, na makarutaga igongona hamwe na maraya ma mahooero-inĩ: nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ matarĩ ũmenyo nĩmakanangĩka!
Y schal not visite on youre douytris, whanne thei don fornicacioun, and on youre wyues, whanne thei doon auowtrie; for thei lyuyden with hooris, and maden sacrifice with men turned in to wymmens condiciouns. And the puple that vndirstondith not, schal be betun.
15 “Atĩrĩ wee Isiraeli, o na gũtuĩka nĩũtharagia-rĩ, Juda nĩagĩtige kwĩhia. “Ndũgathiĩ Giligali; o na ndũkambate Bethi-Aveni. Na ndũkehĩte uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo!’
If thou, Israel, doist fornicacioun, nameli Juda trespasse not; and nyle ye entre in to Galgala, and stie ye not in to Bethauen, nether swere ye, The Lord lyueth.
16 Andũ a Isiraeli mangʼathĩtie o ta moori ngʼathia. Kũngĩhoteka atĩa Jehova amarĩithie ta tũgondu tũrĩ nyeki-inĩ nduru?
For as a wielde cow Israel bowide awei; now the Lord schal fede hem as a lomb in broodnesse.
17 Efiraimu nĩegwatanĩtie na mĩhianano; tiganai nake!
Effraym is the partener of idols, leeue thou him;
18 O na rĩrĩa kĩndũ kĩao gĩa kũnyua gĩthirĩte-rĩ, no mathiiaga na mbere na ũmaraya wao; aathani ao nĩmendete mũno njĩra cia thoni.
the feeste of hem is departid. Bi fornicacioun thei diden fornicacioun, the defenders therof louyden to brynge schenschipe.
19 Kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene gĩkaamahaata kĩmombũkie, na magongona mao nĩmakamaconorithia.
The spirit boond hym in hise wyngis, and thei schulen be schent of her sacrifices.
