< Hosea 4 >

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hianki Israeli vahe'mota antahiho, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno ama mopafima mani'naza vahera keaga huramanteanki antahiho, Tamagra avariri fatgo nosuta, avesi ante'zana omanegeno, Anumzamofoma keno antahino'ma hu'zana ama mopafina omanene.
Hear the word of the Lord, people of Israel, for the Lord has an accusation against the inhabitants of the land! “There is no faithfulness, no loyalty, and no knowledge of God in the land.
2 Hagi tamagripina vahe'ma sifna hunte'zanki, havigema huzanki, hazenkezmi omane vahe zamahe fri'zanki, kumzafa zane, monko avu'avazane, mika kaziga ha' frama hu'zane, vahe'ma aheno korama eri tagi'zamo avite'ne.
Instead there is only cursing, lying, murdering, stealing, and adultery. They commit violence, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
3 E'i ana agafare mopatamifina zavi krafagemo'a avitegeno, mopafina tina omaneno hagege nehigeno, monafima hare'za vano nehaza namaramine, hagerimpi nozameramine, afi' zagagafamozanena fri vagare'naze.
As a result the land dries up, and everyone who lives there is wasting away, along with the wild animals and the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea—they are all dying.
4 Hagi mago vahe'mo'a mago vahekura huno kagri hazenke me'ne huno osino. Na'ankure ama hazenkea pristi vahe'mota eri fore hu'nagu keaga huneramantoe.
But no one should accuse or blame anyone else. My quarrel is with you the priests—you are the ones responsible.
5 Hu'negu tamagra zage ferupina tanafa huta nemasesage'za, havige kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena hanimpina tanafa hugahaze. Hagi anta'tamimofo Israelina azeri haviza hugahue.
Consequently you will stumble in daylight, and the prophet will stumble together with you in the night, and I will destroy your mother.
6 Hagi vahe'nima zamazeri havizama hanuana, na'ankure Nagrira nage'za antahiza zamagra osu'nazagu anara hugahue. Hagi pristi vahe'mo'za Nagrira nagenira osu'nagu, zamagri'enena antahi nozamue. Hagi tamagra Nagri kasegea tamagekanizagu, tamagrira tamagekani neramante'na mofavretamia asomura huozmantegahue.
My people are dying because they don't know me. Because you have refused to know me, I refuse to accept you as my priests. You have forgotten my teachings, so I will forget your children.
7 Hagi rama'a pristi vahe'ma fore'ma nehu'za, rama'a kumi hu'naze. Hagi ra zamagima eneriza zana zamazeri zamagaze hugahue.
The more there were of them, the more they sinned against me, so I will change their glory into shame.
8 Hagi vahe'mo'zama kumizmire'ma ofama hunaku'ma eri'za aza ofa pristi vahe'mo'za ne'naze. E'ina hu'negu vahe'mo'zama kumima nehazage'za, pristi vahe'mo'za rama'a muse nehaze.
They feed on the sin of my people, greedy for their iniquity.
9 Hagi nazano pristi vahe'mo'zama haza zamavu zamavara vahe'mo'zanena ana zamavu zamava avaririza kefo zamavu zamavara nehaze. Ana hu'nazagu pristi vahe'ene amne vahe'enena ana zamavu'zmava hu'naza zante zamazeri haviza hugahue.
So it will be for the people like the priests: I will punish them for what they have done, repaying them for their actions.
10 Hagi rama'a ne'zana negahazanagi, zamura osugahie. Hagi savri monko avu'ava zana hugahazanagi, mofavrea kase hakarea osugahaze. Na'ankure tamagra Nagrira Ra Anumzana natreta ru anumzamofo amage ante'nazagu anara hugahaze.
They will eat, but they will not be satisfied; they will engage in prostitution, but they will not prosper because they have given up on the Lord to go and prostitute themselves to other gods.
11 Hagi waini tine, kasefa waini tine, savri monko avu'ava'ma hu'zamo, antahi ama'ma hu'zana Nagri vahepintira eri netre.
They destroy their minds with old wine and new wine.
12 Hagi Nagri vahe'mo'za zafare'ma kaza osu havi anumzama antre'za tro hunte'naza havi anumzane, rampa zante'ma tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzana antahinegaze. Hagi zamagra savri monko avu'avazama hazazamo zamazeri havia hige'za zamagra Anumzamofontera mani fatgo hu'za nomaniza monora huonte'naze.
My people consult their wooden idols and their divining rods give them answers, for a spirit of prostitution makes them go astray. Prostituting themselves, they have deserted their God.
13 Hagi zamagra agonaramimpi mareriza kaza osu havi anumzantera kresramana vunentaze. Hagi knare tona'ma hu'nea oki zafane, popra zafane, terebinti zafa agafafi kre manavu ofa hunte'naze. E'ina agafare mofa'netamimo'za ana zanke hu'za monkote hu'za vano nehazageno, tamanoferehe'za ana zanke hu'za savri hu'za monkote vano nehaze.
They offer sacrifices on the tops of mountains; they burn incense in the hills under the oak, poplar, and terebinth trees where the shade is pleasant. That's the reason why your daughters practice prostitution and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
14 Hianagi monkozama hu'za vanoma nehaza mofa'netamine, tamanoferehe'inena Nagra knazana zami'na zamazeri havizana osugahue. Na'ankure tamagra vene'nemotanena ana zanke huta zagore'ma monkoza nehaza a'nanene monkozana ome nehuta, havi anumzamofo mono nompi savri'ma nehaza a'nene ofa ome Kresramana nevaze. E'ina hu'negu ama' antahi'zana omanenigeta haviza hugahaze.
I will not punish your daughters when they practice prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, because you men visit whores and sacrifice with temple prostitutes. A people who lack understanding end up in disaster.
15 Hagi Israeli vahe'mota monko a'negna huta mani fatgo huta nomanizanki, Juda vahe'motanema ana zama huzankura kva hiho. Hagi havige anumzante'ma Gilgalima mono'ma hunentaza zankura kva nehuta, kasefa'ma huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo agifima huvempa nehaza zankura kva hiho.
Though you, Israel, have become a prostitute, may Judah not offend in the same way and not enter Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, nor swear saying, ‘the Lord lives.’
16 Hagi Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamasenimo'a hankavetigege huno keontahi bulimakao afu'mofo asenimo'ma hiaza hu'ne. Hianagi inankna hu'na e'inahu vahera sipisipi afu anentama avare'noma vanoma nehigeno tra'zama nenea knara hu'na kegava huzmantegahue.
For Israel is as stubborn as a stubborn cow. Should the Lord then take care of them like a lamb in a wide pasture?
17 Hagi Israeli vahera zamatrenke'za zamagra'a zamavesi'za avaririza kaza osu havi anumzantera viho.
Ephraim is bewitched by idols, so leave him alone!
18 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za aka tima nete'za monko a'negu ome hake'za ana a'nene monkoza ome nehaze. Hagi ranra kva vahe'mo'za zamagima eri'zana netre'za zamagazema hu avu'ava zanku zamave'nesie.
Once the leaders finish drinking, they go off and find prostitutes to sleep with. They love their shameful acts more than honor.
19 Hagi hanave zaho'mo mikaza eme eri hareno freankna hu'na zamavare atregahue. Na'ankure zamagrama havi anumzantema kresramnama vunte'nazagu anara hanuge'za zamagazegu hugahaze.
A wind will carry them away; they will be ashamed of their pagan worship.
