Hosea 9
1 Mwet Israel, kowos in tia sifil orek engan ke len lulap lowos oana mwet pegan. Kowos forla liki God lowos ac tiana pwaye nu sel. In acn nukewa fin facl se inge kowos kukakin monuwos oana mutan kosro uh nu sin Baal, ac kowos lungse na wheat ma kowos nunku mu Baal el moli nu suwos!
Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
2 Tusruktu ac tia paht na ac sufalla wheat ac oil in olive nu suwos, ac ac fah mau wangin wain.
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
3 Mwet Israel ac fah tia mutana in facl sin LEUM GOD. Kutu selos ac folokla nu Egypt, ac elos su som nu Assyria fah kang mwe mongo ma tia lela nu selos.
They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.
4 In acn sac ingo elos ac fah tia ku in orek kisa wain nu sin LEUM GOD, ku use mwe kisa lalos nu sel. Mwe mongo nalos fah akkolukye mwet nukewa ma kang uh, oana mwe mongo ke pacl in pukmas. Orekmakinyuk na in eisla masrinsral lalos; wangin ip kac ac utukla in mwe kisa in Tempul lun LEUM GOD.
They shall pour out no [offerings of] wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
5 Fin sun len pakpuki in orek kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD, na mea elos ac oru?
What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
6 Ke len in ongoiya lulap tuku ac mwet uh oalik acn uh, na mwet Egypt fah oraloseni — aok elos fah puknelosi in acn Memphis! Ma saok ke silver lalos ac acn ma lohm selos oan we meet ah, fah kupoi ke mah ac kokul.
For behold, they are gone away because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Moph shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
7 Pacl in kalyeiyuk tuku tari — pacl mwet uh fah eis lacnen orekma lalos. Mwet Israel ac fah etu kac. Kowos fahk mu, “Mwet palu se inge el lalfon. Mwet se ma ngun oan facl uh el wel.” Kowos arulana srungayu yohk mweyen koluk lowos uh arulana yohk.
The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know [it]: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity.
8 God El supweyume ngan sie mwet palu in sensenkakin mwet Israel. A yen nukewa nga som nu we, kowos srike in srifusryuwi oana sie won. In acn sin God sifacna, mwet uh pa mwet lokoalok lun mwet palu.
Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? [nay] the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God.
9 Yoklana koluk lalos in ma nukewa elos oru, oana ke elos tuh oru in acn Gibeah. God El ac esam ma koluk lalos ac kalyaelos kac.
They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke nga tufahna konekowosyak, mwet Israel, oana ke mwet uh konauk grape kapak yen mwesis. Ke nga tufahna liye mwet matu lowos somla ah, oana ke mwet uh konauk fahko se meet ke sak fig in pacl in fok uh. Tusruk pacl se kowos tuku nu eol Peor kowos mutawauk in alu nu sel Baal, na kowos sa na ekla mwe srungayuk ye mutuk, oana ma sruloala ma kowos lungse uh.
I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover.
11 Pwengpeng lun Israel ac sohkla oana sie won, na ac fah wangin tulik sifilpa srimetak insien mutan, wangin mutan ac pitutu, ac wangin tulik fah isusla nu selos.
As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, — no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
12 Tuh elos finne tohf tulik, nga ac fah eisla lukelos ac tia likiya sie in moul. Ma upa puspis ac sikyak nu sin mwet inge pacl se nga som lukelosla uh.”
For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that] not a man [remain]: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!
13 LEUM GOD, nga ku in liye tulik natulos ke ukok uh ac anwukla.
Ephraim, as I saw [him], was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
14 Mea nga ac siyuk kom in oru nu sin mwet inge? Oru mutan inge in talap. Oru elos in tia ku in katiti tulik natulos!
Give them, Jehovah — what wilt thou give? — give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Orekma koluk nukewa lalos mutawauk in acn Gilgal. Pa ingan acn se nga mutawauk in srungalosla we. Na ke sripen ma koluk elos oru inge, nga fah luselosla liki facl sik uh. Nga ac fah tia sifil lungse elos. Mwet kol nukewa lalos elos tuyak lainyu.
All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious.
16 Mwet Israel elos oana soko sak ma oka kac uh pulamlamla ac tia isus fahko. Ac fah wangin tulik natulos. Ac elos finne isus, nga fah onela tulik natulos su elos saokkin.”
Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
17 God se su nga kulansupu fah ngetla liki mwet lal, mweyen elos tia porongel. Elos ac fah oana mwet takusrkusr inmasrlon mutunfacl uh.
My God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
