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.
While Ephraim was speaking, a horror entered Israel, and he offended by Baal, and 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 add that they will be sinning more. And they have made themselves an image cast from their silver, just like the image of idols; but the whole thing has been made by craftsmen. These say to them, “Sacrifice men, you who adore 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.
For this reason, they will be like the morning clouds, and like the morning dew that passes away, just like the dust that is driven by a whirlwind away from the threshing floor, and like the smoke from a chimney.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos, su pwenkowosme liki Egypt. Wangin God lowos sayuk. Nga mukena ku in molikowosla.
But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, and you will not know God apart from me, and there is no Savior except me.
5 Nga tuh karinginkowosyang yen mwesis, yen wangin kof we.
I knew you in the desert, in the land of solitude.
6 Tuh ke kowos ilyak nu in facl mut sac, kowos kihp ac insewowo, na sifilpa fulatak insiowos ac kowos mulkinyula.
According to their pastures, they have been filled up and have been satisfied. And they have lifted up their heart, and they have 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.
And I will be to them like a lioness, like a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
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 run to meet them like a bear that has been robbed of her young, and I will split open the middle of their liver. And I will devour them there like a lion; the beast of the field will tear them apart.
9 “Mwet Israel, nga fah kunauskowosla! Na su ac ku in kasrekowos?
Perdition is yours, Israel. Your help is only in me.
10 Kowos siyuk ke sie tokosra ac ke mwet kol, tuh elos ac ku in molela mutunfacl uh fuka?
Where is your king? Now, especially, let him save you in all your cities, and from your judges, about whom you said, “Give me kings and princes.”
11 Ke kasrkusrak luk, nga sot tokosra uh nu suwos, ac ke nga foloyak nga eisalosla liki kowos.
I will give you a king in my wrath, and I will take him away in my indignation.
12 “Ma koluk ac sutuela lun Israel oan in ma simusla, ac ma simusla inge oan in acn karinginyuk wo.
The iniquity of Ephraim has been bound; his sin has been engulfed.
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 pains of giving birth will reach him. He is an unwise son. For now he will not remain firm during the contrition of his sons.
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 free them from the hand of death; from death I will redeem them. Death, I will be your death. Hell, I will be your deadly wound. Consolation is hidden from my 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.
For he will make a division among brothers. The Lord will bring a burning wind, rising up from the desert, and it will dry up his streams, and it will make his fountain desolate, and he will tear apart every collection of desirable useful things.
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.”
Let Samaria perish, because she has urged her God towards bitterness. Let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be thrown down, and let their pregnant women be cut in two.
