Oseas 10
1 Maiyarig ti Israel iti maysa a narukbos a pinuon ti ubas nga agbungbunga. Kas umad-adu ti bungana, ad-adu dagiti altar nga impatakderna. Kas umad-adu ti maapit iti dagana, pinapintasna dagiti nasagradoan nga adigina.
“Israel was [like a large] healthy/luxuriant vine [MET] that produced [a lot of] grapes. But as the people became richer, they made more altars [at which to worship idols]. As the people prospered, they [built and] decorated sacred pillars [that they worshiped].
2 Manangallilaw dagiti pusoda; ita masapul a baklayenda dagiti basolda. Rebbaento ni Yahweh dagiti altarda; dadaelennanto dagiti nasagradoan nga adigida.
They are deceitful; [so] now they are guilty and must be punished. [I], Yahweh, will tear down their altars and smash those pillars.
3 Ta ita kunadanto, “Awan iti arimi, ta saankami nga agbuteng kenni Yahweh. Ket ti maysa nga ari— ania ti mabalinna nga aramiden para kadakami?”
Then they will say, ‘It is because we did not revere Yahweh that we no [longer] have a king. But [even if we had] a king, he certainly could not [RHQ] do anything to help us.’
4 Agsaoda kadagiti ubbaw a sasao ken makitulagda babaen iti ulbod a panagsapsapata. Isu nga agrusingto ti hustisia a kas iti makasabidong a ruot kadagiti naarado a talon.
They falsely promise [that they will do many things]; they solemnly promise and make agreements, but they do not do what they promise. So people accuse and sue [each other in the courts]; they are like [SIM] poisonous weeds [that grow] in a plowed field.
5 Mabutengto dagiti agnanaed iti Samaria gapu kadagiti urbon a sinan-baka ti Bet-Aven. Agladingitto dagiti tattaona kadagitoy, a kas iti inaramid dagiti papadi nga agdaydayaw kadagiti didiosen a nakipagrag-o kadakuada ken iti dayagda, ngem awandan sadiay.
The people who live in Samaria [city] are worried about [what may happen to the idol that resembles] a calf [that they set up] at Beth-Aven [town]. The people in Samaria will mourn, and the priests there will cry about it [if it is damaged or destroyed]. [Previously] they shouted joyfully about its being very great; but now it will not be great any more.
6 Maipandanto idiay Asiria a kas sagut iti nabileg nga ari. Maibabainto ti Efraim ken mabainto ti Israel gapu iti panangsurotna iti balakad dagiti didiosen.
It will be taken to Assyria to be a gift for the great King [of Assyria]. [So the people of] Israel will be disgraced, and they will be ashamed because [they trusted in] that idol.
7 Madadaelto ti ari ti Samaria, a kas iti bassit a pidaso ti kayo a tumtumpaw iti danum.
The King of Samaria [and the other people in Samaria] will be gone; they will be like [SIM] a twig [that floats away] on the surface of the water [and disappears].
8 Dagiti altar ti kinadangkes—ti basol ti Israel— ket madadaelto. Agtubonto dagiti nasiit a mula kadagiti altarda. Ibaganto dagiti tattao kadagiti bantay, “Lingedandakami!” ken kadagiti turod, “Gaburandakami!”
The altars on the tops of hills [where the people worshiped idols] will be destroyed; those have been the places where the people of Israel sinned greatly. Thorns and weeds will grow and cover those altars. Then the people will plead to the mountains and hills, ‘Fall [down and] cover us [to protect us from God punishing us]!’
9 “Israel, nagbasolka sipud pay kadagiti aldaw ti Gabaa; sadiay a nagtalinaedam. Saan kadi a dinanon ti gubat dagiti managdakdakes idiay Gabaa?
[You people of] Israel, [ever since your ancestors did evil things] at Gibeah, you have continued to sin. [When the people at] [PRS] Gibeah [did evil things], the result was a war [in which thousands of people died].
10 Inton tarigagayak daytoy, disiplinaakto ida. Agguummongto dagiti nasion a maibusor kadakuada ket galutanda ida gapu iti adu a basbasolda.
[So now], when I want to, I will punish the Israeli people. Because of the many sins that they have committed, [the armies of other] nations will gather to attack them, and they will cause the Israeli people to become their slaves.
11 Maiyarig ti Efraim iti nasusuroan a bumalasang a baka a pagay-ayatna iti agirik iti trigo, isu nga ikkakto iti sangol ti napintas a teltelna. Ikkakto iti sangol ti Efraim; agaradonto ti Juda; Guyudento a mismo ti Jacob ti suyod.
Israel is [like] [MET] a well-trained (heifer/young cow) that likes to thresh [grain]. [So now you will become slaves]. [It will be as though] I will put a yoke on your neck, and you will be forced to work hard for your enemies in their fields. [You people of] Israel and Judah [will be forced to go to Assyria]; there you [DOU] will pull plows to break up the ground [for planting seeds].
12 Agmulakayo iti kinalinteg para kadagiti bagbagiyo ket apitenyo dagiti bunga ti kinapudno ti tulagna. Aradoenyo ti saan a naarado a dagayo, ta daytoyen ti tiempo a birokenyo ni Yahweh, agingga nga umay isuna ket pagtuddoenna iti kinalinteg kadakayo.
[You plow your fields and plant your seeds] and harvest [your crops] [MET], [but what you need to do is] to act righteously and to faithfully love [me]; you need to repent [MET], because it is time to try to know [me], Yahweh; and if you do that, I will pour out [MET] many blessings on you.
13 Inyaradoyo ti kinadangkes; nagapitkayo iti saan a nalinteg. Kinnanyo ti bunga ti panangallilaw gapu ta nagtalekkayo kadagiti panggepyo ken kadagiti adu a soldadoyo.
You [plant seeds and harvest the crops and eat them]; [but what I consider that you have really done is] that you have planted wicked things and harvested evil things and eaten [MET] the results [IDM] of the lies [that you have told]. [Instead of trusting in me, ] you have (depended on/trusted in) your own power and in your many soldiers.
14 Isu a rumsuanto ti maysa a riribuk ti gubat kadagiti tattaoyo, ket madadaelto amin dagiti nasarikedkedan a siudadyo. Kaslanto daytoy iti panangdadael ni Salmana iti Bet-Arbel iti aldaw ti gubat, idi narumrumek dagiti inna agraman dagiti annakda.
As a result, you will [soon] hear the roar of battle, and all your cities that have walls around them will be destroyed, like [SIM] Shalman’s [army] destroyed Beth-Arbel [city] in a battle, and the women [in that city] and their children were bashed to death.
15 Isu a mapasamakto daytoy kadakayo, Betel, gapu iti nakaro a kinadangkesyo. Apaman a lumawag, matayto ti ari ti Israel.”
[You people of] [APO] Bethel [city], that is what will happen to you, because you are very wicked. And when the sun rises [on that day], the King of Israel will be killed [in the battle].”
