Oseas 9
1 Saankayo nga agrag-o, Israel, a kas iti rag-o dagiti dadduma a tattao. Ta nagbalinkayo a saan a napudno, binaybay-anyo ti Diosyo. Pagay-ayatyo a bayadan ti tangdan a kasapulan ti balangkantis kadagiti pagirikan.
Rejoice not too loudly, Israel, like the nations, for you have commited adultery, being untrue to your God. You have loved a prostitute’s wages on every threshing floor.
2 Ngem saan ida a mapakan ti pagirikan ken ti pagpespesan ti arak; upayento isuna ti baro nga arak.
Threshing floor and wine vat won’t feed them, the new wine will fail them.
3 Saandanto nga agtultuloy nga agnaed iti daga ni Yahweh; ngem ketdi, agsublinto ti Efraim idiay Egipto, ket maysa nga aldaw, mangandanto iti maiparit a taraon idiay Asiria.
They will not stay in the Lord’s land, but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean.
4 Awanton ti maibukbokda a daton nga arak kenni Yahweh, ket saandan a makaay-ayo kenkuana. Maiyarigto dagiti datonda iti taraon dagiti agladladingit a nagminatay: matulawanto dagiti amin a mangan iti daytoy. Ta para laeng kadakuada dagiti taraonda; saanto a maipan iti balay ni Yahweh.
They will not pour out libations of wine to the Lord, nor please him with their sacrifices. Their bread will be like the bread of mourners: all who eat it will defile themselves. For their bread will be only for their hunger, it will not come into the Lord’s temple.
5 Anianto ti aramidenyo iti aldaw ti maysa a naituding a fiesta, iti aldaw ti fiesta para kenni Yahweh?
What will you do on the day of the festival? Or on the day of the Lord’s feast?
6 Ta kitaenyo, no itarayanda ti pannakadadael, ummongento ida ti Egipto ket itanemto ida ti Memfis. Dagiti gamengda a pirak— makumotanto dagitoy kadagiti sisiitan ken mapnonto iti sisiit dagiti toldada.
Even if they flee from destruction, Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them. Nettles will take possession of their treasure of silver, thorns will push into their tents.
7 Umadanin dagiti aldaw ti pannakadusa; umadanin dagiti aldaw ti panagsagaba. Maammoan koma amin iti Israel dagitoy a banbanag. Ti profeta ket maysa a maag, ken ti napabileg a tao ket agmauyong, gapu iti nadagsen a basolyo ken dakkel a gurayo.
The days of punishment are come, the days of recompense are at hand, as soon the Israelites will know! “The prophet is a fool, the inspired man is raving mad!” It is because of the greatness of your iniquity and the greatness of your hatred.
8 Ti profeta a kadua iti Diosko ket isu ti agbanbantay iti Efraim, ngem ti pangsilo iti billit ket adda iti amin a dalanna, ken ti pananggurada kenkuana ket adda iti balay ti Diosna.
Ephraim acts the spy with my God, a prophet finds the snares of a fowler are in all his ways. In the house of his God they lay hostile plots,
9 Rinugitanda unay dagiti bagbagida a kas kadagiti aldaw ti Gabaa. Lagipento ti Dios dagiti kinadakesda ket dusaennanto dagiti basbasolda.
they commit crimes as in the days of Gibeah, God will remember their iniquity. He will punish their sin.
10 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Idi nasarakak ti Israel, kasla agbirbirokak kadagiti ubas iti let-ang. Kas iti umuna a bunga iti tiempo ti kayo nga igos, nasarakak dagiti ammayo. Ngem napanda idiay Baal Peor, ket impaayda dagiti bagbagida iti dayta a nakababain a didiosen. Nagbalinda a makarimon a kas iti didiosen nga inayatda.
I found Israel like finding grapes in the wilderness. I saw your ancestors like they were the first fruit on a fig tree, but as soon as they came to Baal-peor, they consecrated themselves to shamefulness, and became as abominable as the object of their love.
11 No maipapan iti Efraim, tumayabto ti dayagda a kas iti billit. Awanton ti panagpasngay, awanton ti panagsikog ken awanton ti panagnginaw.
Ephraim – like a bird his glory flies away. There will be no more birth, no more motherhood, no more conception.
12 Uray no nagpadakkelda kadagiti annak, alaekto ida tapno awan ti mabati kadakuada. Asida pay inton umadayoak kadakuada!
Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them until not one is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them!
13 Nakitak ti Efraim, a kas iti Tiro, naimula iti tanap ngem ipanto ti Efraim dagiti annakna iti maysa a tao a mangpapatay kadakuada.”
Ephraim – planted like Tyre in a meadow, But Ephraim too must lead forth their children to slaughter.
14 Itedmo kadakuada, O Yahweh— ania ti itedmo kadakuada? Ikkam ida iti maal-alisan nga aanakan ken kadagiti suso nga awan tubbogna.
Give them, Lord – what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and shrivelled up breasts!
15 “Gapu kadagiti amin a kinadangkesda idiay Gilgal, sadiay a rinuggiak a ginura ida. Gapu kadagiti nakadakdakes nga aramidda, papanawekto ida iti balayko. Saankonton ida nga ayaten; rebelde dagiti amin nga opisialda.
All their evil began in Gilgal, there I learned to hate them. Because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them, for all their princes are rebels.
16 Natungro ti Efraim; nagango dagiti ramutda; saanda nga agbunga. Uray no addaanda kadagiti annak, papatayekto dagiti ipatpategda nga annak.”
Ephraim is blighted, their root withered. If they do bear children, I will slay the darlings of their womb,
17 Laksidento ida ti Diosko gapu ta saanda a nagtulnog kenkuana. Agalla-alladanto kadagiti nasion.
My God will reject them because they have not listened to him, and they will become wanderers among the nations.
