Koseya 10
1 Isirayiri yali muzabbibu ogwagaagadde, ogwabala ebibala byagwo. Ebibala bye gye byeyongera obungi, naye gye yeeyongera okuzimba ebyoto; n’ensi ye gye yeeyongera okuba engagga, gye yeeyongera okulungiya empagi ze.
Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
2 Omutima gwabwe mulimba, era ekiseera kituuse omusango gubasinge. Mukama alimenya ebyoto byabwe, era alizikiriza empagi zaabwe.
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3 Olwo balyogera nti, “Tetulina kabaka kubanga tetwatya Mukama. Naye ne bwe twandibadde ne kabaka, yanditukoleddeyo ki?”
For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
4 Basuubiza bingi, ne balayirira obwereere nga bakola endagaano; emisango kyegiva givaayo ng’omuddo ogw’obutwa mu nnimiro ennime.
They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5 Abatuuze b’e Samaliya bali mu ntiisa olw’ennyana ensaanuuse ey’e Besaveni. Abantu baayo baligikungubagira, ne bakabona baayo abaweereza bakatonda abalala, abaasanyukanga olw’ekitiibwa kyayo baligikungubagira, kubanga ekitiibwa kyayo kigivuddeko.
The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
6 Erisutulibwa n’etwalibwa e Bwasuli n’eweebwa kabaka omukulu ng’ekirabo. Efulayimu aliswazibwa ne Isirayiri alikwatibwa ensonyi olw’ekiteeso kye.
It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 Samaliya ne kabaka we balitwalibwa ng’ekibajjo eky’omuti ku mazzi n’azikirizibwa.
As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
8 Ebifo ebigulumivu eby’obutali butuukirivu birisaanyizibwawo, kye kibi kya Isirayiri. Amaggwa n’amatovu galimera ku byoto byabwe, ne gabibikka. Olwo ne bagamba ensozi nti, “Mutubuutikire,” n’obusozi nti, “Mutugweko.”
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
9 Okuva mu nnaku za Gibea, wayonoona, ggwe Isirayiri era eyo gye wagugubira. Entalo tezakwatira abakozi b’ebibi mu Gibea?
O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
10 Bwe ndiba nga njagadde, ndibabonereza; amawanga galikuŋŋaana okulwana nabo, ne basibibwa mu masanga olw’ebibi byabwe eby’emirundi ebiri.
It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
11 Efulayimu nnyana ntendeke eyagala okuwuula; kyendiva nteeka ekikoligo mu nsingo ye ennungi. Ndigoba Efulayimu ne Yuda ateekwa okulima ne Yakobo ateekwa okukabala.
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
12 Musige ensigo ez’obutuukirivu, mukungule ebibala eby’okwagala okutaggwaawo; mukabale ettaka lyammwe eritali ddime, kubanga ekiseera kituuse okunoonya Mukama, okutuusa lw’alidda n’abafukako obutuukirivu.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he comes and rain righteousness upon you.
13 Naye mwasimba obutali butuukirivu ne mukungula ebibi, era mulidde ebibala eby’obulimba. Olw’okwesiga amaanyi go, n’abalwanyi bo abangi,
All of you have plowed wickedness, all of you have reaped iniquity; all of you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
14 olutalo kyeluliva lubawuumira mu matu, n’ebigo byammwe byonna ne bizikirizibwa, nga Sulemaani bwe yazikiriza Beswaluberi ku lunaku olw’olutalo, abakyala ba nnakazadde lwe baggundwa ku ttaka n’abaana baabwe.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 Bwe kityo bwe kiribeera, ggwe Besweri kubanga ekibi kyo kinene nnyo. Olunaku olwo bwe lulituuka, kabaka wa Isirayiri alizikiririzibwa ddala.
So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
