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!
“Do not rejoice, O Israel, do not be joyful like the peoples, For you have gone whoring from your God, You have loved a wage near all floors of grain.
2 Tusruktu ac tia paht na ac sufalla wheat ac oil in olive nu suwos, ac ac fah mau wangin wain.
Floor and winepress do not feed them, And new wine fails in 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 do not abide in the land of YHWH, And Ephraim has turned back [to] Egypt, And they eat an unclean thing in Asshur.
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 do not pour out wine to YHWH, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It does not come into the house of YHWH.
5 Fin sun len pakpuki in orek kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD, na mea elos ac oru?
What do you do at the day appointed? And at the day of YHWH’s festival?
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 have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathers them, Moph buries them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them—a thorn [is] 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 inspection have come in, The days of repayment have come in, Israel knows! The prophet [is] a fool, Mad [is] the man of the spirit, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.
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.
Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! A snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] 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 gone deep—have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He remembers their iniquity, He inspects 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.
As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They have gone in [to] Ba‘al-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And have become abominable like their love.
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.
Ephraim [is] as a bird, their glory flies away, without birth, and without womb, and without 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 though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless—without man, Surely also, woe to them when I turn aside from them.
13 LEUM GOD, nga ku in liye tulik natulos ke ukok uh ac anwukla.
Ephraim! When I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out his sons to a 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 to them, YHWH—what do You give? Give to them 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 evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I drive them, I no longer love them, All their heads [are] apostates.
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 has been struck, Their root has dried up, they do not yield fruit, Indeed, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired 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 rejects them, Because they have not listened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!”
