Hosiya 9
1 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.
Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
2 Ebe ịzọcha mkpụrụ ọka na ebe ịzọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị agaghị azụ ha nri, mmanya ọhụrụ ga-agharịpụ ha.
The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them, and the new wine will fail her.
3 Ha agaghị anọgidekwa nʼala Onyenwe anyị, ma Ifrem ga-alaghachi nʼala Ijipt nọdụ nʼAsịrịa rie nri rụrụ arụ.
They won’t dwell in Yahweh’s land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
4 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.
They won’t pour out wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into Yahweh’s house.
5 Gịnị ọzọ ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị mmemme unu ndị ahụ a kara aka, ma nʼụbọchị mmemme nke Onyenwe anyị?
What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Yahweh?
6 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,
For, behold, when they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.
7 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.
The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.
8 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.
A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.
9 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.
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for their sins.
10 “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.
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
11 Nsọpụrụ Ifrem nwere ga-efefu dị ka nnụnụ, nʼihi na ọmụmụ nwa agaghị adị, a gaghị atụkwa ime, agaghị adịkwa ime.
As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, no one with child, and no conception.
12 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.
Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13 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.”
I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.
14 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.
Give them—Yahweh what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 “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.
“All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds, I will drive them out of my house! I will love them no more. All their princes are rebels.
16 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.”
Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.”
17 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.
My God will cast them away, because they didn’t listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
