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, O Israel, Exult not, like the nations! For thou committest fornication, forsaking thy God! Thou lovest hire on 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 vat shall not feed them, And the new wine shall deceive them.
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 the land of Jehovah; To Egypt shall Ephraim go back, And eat unclean things in Assyria.
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, Nor shall their sacrifices please him; They shall be to them as the bread of mourners; All that eat thereof shall be polluted. Their bread shall be for their own hunger; 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 festal day, 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 go forth from a wasted land; Egypt shall gather them; Memphis shall bury them; The precious places of their silver, Nettles shall possess them; Thorns shall spring up in their habitations.
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 retribution are come— Israel shall know that the prophet was foolish, That the man of the spirit was mad— For the greatness of` thy iniquity, and thy great 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.
If Ephraim seek an answer from my God, The prophet is as the snare of the fowler in all his ways, A net 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 requite 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 the early fruit on the fig-tree, at its first time of bearing, I saw your fathers. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to shame, And had abominable idols according to 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.
The glory of Ephraim shall fly away as a bird; They shall not bring forth, nor bear in the womb, nor conceive;
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.”
Yea, if they bring up children, I will utterly bereave them; Yea, woe to them when I depart from them!
13 LEUM GOD, nga ku in liye tulik natulos ke ukok uh ac anwukla.
I have seen Ephraim planted, like Tyre, in a rich pasture, Yet shall Ephraim bring out his children to the murderer.
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, O Jehovah! What wilt thou give them? 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; Yea, there have I hated them for the wickedness of their doings; I will drive them from my house; I will love them no more; All their princes are revolters.
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 beget children, I will destroy the beloved fruit of the 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 shall cast them away, Because they have not hearkened to him, And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
