Hosea 7
1 “Ke pacl ma nga lungse akkeye mwet luk Israel ac sifilpa musaelosyak, ma nga liye uh pa ma koluk lalos ac orekma sutuu lalos. Elos kutasrik nu sin sie sin sie. Elos kunauselik lohm uh ac utyak pisrapasr loac. Elos pisre pac mwet uh inkanek uh.
When I was about to deliver my people from captivity, When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, And the wickedness of Samaria; For they practise fraud, And the thief entereth in, And the band of robbers spoileth without.
2 Elos tiana nunku lah nga ac esam ma koluk inge nukewa. Koluk lalos uh raunelosla, ac nga tia ku in tia liye.”
And they think not in their hearts, That I remember all their wickedness. Now shall their doings encompass them; They are before my face.
3 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet uh kiapu tokosra ac mwet fulat lal ke pwapa sulallal lalos.
With their wickedness they gladden the king, And with their falsehoods the princes; All of them are adulterers;
4 Elos nukewa kutasrik in nunak, ac tia pwaye insialos. Srunga lalos musrasri oana sie e ke stove in manman flao, su oanna soano mwet manman uh in oralik ke pacl se flao uh akola in manman.
They are as an oven heated by the baker; He ceaseth to stir the fire, Until the dough which he hath kneaded be leavened.
5 In len in akfulat nu sin tokosra, elos oru tokosra ac mwet fulat lal uh in sruhi ac lalfonla ke mwe sruhi.
On the feast-day of our king, the princes are sick with the heat of wine, And he stretcheth out his hand with revilers.
6 Aok, pwapa sulallal lalos fol oana sie nien manman. Kasrkusrak lalos uh musrasri fong nufon se, ac ke lotutang uh ngutyak.
For they make ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait; All night the baker sleepeth; In the morning it gloweth like a flaming fire.
7 “Ke fol lun kasrkusrak lalos elos uniya mwet kol lalos. Tokosra lalos akmuseyuki sie tukun sie, tusruk wangin sie mwet pre nu sik in siyuk ke kasru.”
They all glow as an oven; They have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen; And none among them calleth upon me.
8 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel elos oana soko lof in flao ma molla na tafu. Elos kupasryang nu sin mutunfacl ma raunelosla
Ephraim hath mixed himself with the nations; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 ac tia akilen lah akupasri lalos nu sin mwet sac inge pusrala kuiyalos. Elos oana sie mukul fiaya su tia akilen lah el munasla.
Strangers have devoured his strength, And he knoweth it not; Yea, gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, Yet he knoweth it not.
10 Filang lun mwet Israel folokyang lainulos sifacna. Mwe lokoalok inge nukewa ne lainulos a elos tiana foloko nu yuruk, LEUM GOD lalos.
The pride of Israel testifieth to his face; Yet do not they return to Jehovah their God, Nor seek him, for all this.
11 Mwet Israel elos srooht sroma oana wule lalfon se. Meet elos pang nu sin Egypt in kasrelos, na toko elos kasrusr nu Assyria in suk kasru we!
Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding; They call upon Egypt; they go to Assyria.
12 Tusruktu, nga fah asroelik sie nwek in sruokolosi ke elos sohksok. Nga fah kalyaelos ke ma koluk elos oru.
When they go, I will spread my net over them; As birds of heaven will I bring them down. I will chastise them, as hath been proclaimed in their congregation.
13 “Elos ac wanginla! Elos sisyula ac tuyak lainyu. Elos ac fah kunausyukla. Nga kena molelosla, tuh alu lalos nu sik tia pwaye.
Woe to them, for they have wandered from me! Destruction upon them, for they have rebelled against me! Though I myself would redeem them, they speak falsely to me.
14 Elos tiana inse pwaye ke elos pre nu sik, a elos sasao fin mwe oan kialos. Ke pacl elos pre ke wheat ac wain, elos sipik manolos sifacna. Yoklana tunyuna lalos nu sik!
They cry not to me from their heart, But howl upon their beds; For corn and wine they assemble themselves; They rebel against me.
15 Finne nga pa tufahlosla ac oru elos in ku, elos orek pwapa koluk in lainyu.
I have chastened them; I have also strengthened their arms; Yet do they devise evil against me.
16 Pus na pacl elos forla likiyu nu sin sie god wangin ku la. Tiana ku in lulalfongiyuk elos mweyen elos oana soko sukan pisr kururu. Mweyen kaskas lun mwet kol lalos enum, elos ac misa ke cutlass, ac mwet Egypt ac fah isrunulos.”
They return, but not to the Most High; They are like a deceitful bow; Their princes shall fall by the sword for the haughtiness of their tongues; This shall be their reproach in the land of Egypt.
