Hosea 13
1 In pacl somla, ke sruf lun Ephraim kaskas, sruf saya lun Israel elos sangeng. Elos akfulatye Ephraim. Tuh mwet uh orekma koluk ke elos alu nu sel Baal, ac ke sripa se inge elos fah misa.
When Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 Elos srakna orekma koluk ke elos orala ma sruloala ke osra, ac alu nu kac — ma sruloala ke silver, lumweyukla ke nunak lun mwet, ac orekla ke poun mwet. Na elos fahk, “Orek kisa nu selos.” Fuka tuh mwet uh ngok mutun ma sruloala inge, ma orekla in luman cow mukul!
And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Ke ma inge, mwet inge fah wanginla oana ohk ke kusrun len, ac oana aunfong su sa na in sarla ke lotutang. Elos ac oana kulun wheat ma eng uh okla liki nien kulkul wheat uh, oana kulasr liki infunyu uh.
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passeth early away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos, su pwenkowosme liki Egypt. Wangin God lowos sayuk. Nga mukena ku in molikowosla.
Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt know no god but me, and besides me there is no saviour.
5 Nga tuh karinginkowosyang yen mwesis, yen wangin kof we.
I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Tuh ke kowos ilyak nu in facl mut sac, kowos kihp ac insewowo, na sifilpa fulatak insiowos ac kowos mulkinyula.
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Ke ma inge nga fah anwuk nu suwos oana soko lion. Oana soko leopard nga ac fah mahsriki kowos sisken inkanek uh.
Therefore am I unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;
8 Nga fah anwuk nu suwos oana soko bear ma natu natul uh tuhlac, ac nga fah tiekowosla. Nga fah osrekowosla oana soko lion acn se na nga sun kowos we; aok oana soko kosro lemnak, nga fah srekowosi in ip srisrik.
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.
9 “Mwet Israel, nga fah kunauskowosla! Na su ac ku in kasrekowos?
It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou art] against me, against thy help.
10 Kowos siyuk ke sie tokosra ac ke mwet kol, tuh elos ac ku in molela mutunfacl uh fuka?
Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
11 Ke kasrkusrak luk, nga sot tokosra uh nu suwos, ac ke nga foloyak nga eisalosla liki kowos.
I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
12 “Ma koluk ac sutuela lun Israel oan in ma simusla, ac ma simusla inge oan in acn karinginyuk wo.
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.
13 Oasr pacl wo nu sin Israel in ku in moul, a el lalfon tiana akilen — oana sie tulik fusr su sun pacl in isusla lal, a el koflana illa liki insien nina kial.
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 Nga fah tia molela mwet inge liki facl lun misa, ku kaingkunulos liki ku lun misa. Misa, srukak mwe lokoalok lom! Facl lun misa, srukak kunausten lom! Nga fah tia sifilpa pakomuta mwet inge. (Sheol h7585)
I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from death: O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy destruction? repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Israel finne kap wel oana mah inima uh, nga ac supwala sie eng fol kutulap me liki yen mwesis, na unon lalos ac lufin kof lalos ac fah paola. Eng sac ac fah okla ma saok nukewa.
Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness; and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels.
16 Samaria enenu in kalyeiyuk ke el tunyuna lainyu. Mwet lal uh ac fah misa ke mweun. Tulik fusr ac fah sisila nu infohk uh, ac mutan pitutu ac fah tiatla insialos.”
Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
