Hosea 5
1 “Iguai ũhoro ũyũ, inyuĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai! Tegai matũ, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli! Thikĩrĩria, wee nyũmba ya ũthamaki! Nĩ inyuĩ mũgũtuĩrwo ciira ũyũ: Mũkoretwo mũrĩ mũtego kũu Mizipa, na mũrĩ wabu ya gũtegana yarĩtwo kũu Taboru.
Hear this O priests and pay attention - O house of Israel and O house of the king give ear for [belongs] to you the judgment for a trap you have been to Mizpah and a net spread out over Tabor.
2 Aregi a watho nĩmarikĩire ũragani-inĩ. Niĩ nĩngamaherithia othe.
And slaughtering rebels they have made deep and I [am] discipline to all of them.
3 Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ maũndũ mothe ma Efiraimu; Isiraeli ndahithĩtwo kuuma kũrĩ niĩ. Wee Efiraimu, rĩu nĩũhũrĩte ũmaraya; Isiraeli nake nĩathũkĩte.
I I know Ephraim and Israel not it is hidden from me for now you have prostituted yourself O Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
4 “Ciĩko ciao itingĩmetĩkĩria gũcookerera Ngai wao. Roho wa ũmaraya ũrĩ ngoro-inĩ ciao, nao makaaga kũmenya Jehova.
Not they permit deeds their to return to God their for a spirit of prostitution [is] in inner being their and Yahweh not they know.
5 Mwĩtĩĩo wa Isiraeli nĩũrutaga ũira wa kũmookĩrĩra; andũ a Isiraeli na Efiraimu mahĩngagwo nĩ mehia mao; Juda o nake akahĩngwo hamwe nao.
And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and Israel and Ephraim they will stumble on iniquity their it will stumble also Judah with them.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaathiĩ na ndũũru ciao cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe kũrongooria Jehova-rĩ, matikamuona; we nĩamehereire.
With flock[s] their and with herd[s] their they will go to seek Yahweh and not they will find [him] he has withdrawn from them.
7 Nĩmagĩte kwĩhokeka harĩ Jehova; nao magaciara ciana itarĩ na ũngai. Na rĩrĩ, ciathĩ ciao cia Karũgamo ka Mweri nĩikaamameria, o hamwe na mĩgũnda yao.
With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.
8 “Huhai karumbeta kũu Gibea, na mũhuhe coro kũu Rama. Muuge mbu ya gwĩtana mbaara kũu Bethi-Aveni; wee Benjamini, wĩhũũge.
Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.
9 Efiraimu nĩgũgakira ihooru mũthenya ũcio wa ituĩro. Gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli-rĩ, niĩ ngwanĩrĩra ũrĩa kũrĩ.
Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.
10 Atongoria a Juda mahaana andũ arĩa meheragia mahiga ma mĩhaka. Nĩngamaitĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ makwa, taarĩ kĩguũ kĩa maaĩ.
They have become [the] leaders of Judah like [those who] displace a boundary on them I will pour out like water wrath my.
11 Efiraimu nĩmũhinyĩrĩrie, akarangĩrĩrio ituĩro-inĩ rĩa ciira, nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kũrũmĩrĩra mĩhianano.
[is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.
12 Niĩ haana memenyi kũrĩ Efiraimu, na ngahaana ta ũbuthu kũrĩ andũ a Juda.
And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.
13 “Rĩrĩa Efiraimu oonire ndwari yake, nake Juda akĩona ironda ciake-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo Efiraimu agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Ashuri, na agĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki ũcio mũnene nĩguo amũteithie. Nowe ndangĩhota gũkũhonia, o na kana ahonie ironda ciaku.
And he saw Ephraim sickness his and Judah wound his and he went Ephraim to Assyria and he sent to king Jareb and he not he is able to heal you and not it will depart from you [the] wound.
14 Niĩ ngaatuĩka ta mũrũũthi kũrĩ Efiraimu, nduĩke ta mũrũũthi ũrĩ hinya kũrĩ Juda. Ngaamatambuuranga, njooke ndĩthiĩre; ngaamataha, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamahonokia.
For I [will be] like lion to Ephraim and like young lion to [the] house of Judah I I I will tear to pieces and I may go I will carry off and there not [will be] a deliverer.
15 Ningĩ niĩ nĩngacooka gwakwa, nginya rĩrĩa magetĩkĩra mahĩtia mao. Nao nĩmakarongooria ũthiũ wakwa; nao mona mathĩĩna nĩmakanongoria na kĩo.”
I will go I will return to place my until that they will be held guilty and they will seek face my when it is distress to them they will seek earnestly me.
