Koseya 11
1 “Isirayiri bwe yali omwana omuto, namwagala, era namuyita okuva mu Misiri.
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 Naye buli lwe nayongeranga okuyita Isirayiri, nabo gye beeyongeranga okusemberayo ne bawaayo ssaddaaka eri Babaali, ne bootereza ebifaananyi ebyole obubaane.
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Nze nayigiriza Efulayimu okutambula, nga mbakwata ku mukono; naye tebategeera nga nze nabawonya.
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 Nabakulembera n’emiguwa egy’okusaasira okw’obuntu, n’ebisiba eby’okwagala. Naggya ekikoligo mu bulago bwabwe ne neetoowaza ne mbaliisa.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat to them.
5 “Tebaliddayo mu nsi ya Misiri, era Obwasuli tebulibafuga kubanga baagaana okwenenya?
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6 Ekitala kirimyansiza mu bibuga byabwe ne kizikiriza ebisiba ebya wankaaki waabwe, ne kikomya enteekateeka zaabwe.
And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
7 Abantu bange bamaliridde okunvaako. Ne bwe banaakoowoola oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, taabagulumize.
And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
8 “Nnyinza ntya okukuleka ggwe Efulayimu? Nnyinza ntya okukuwaayo ggwe Isirayiri? Nnyinza ntya okukufuula nga Aduma? Nnyinza ntya okukukola nga Zeboyimu? Omutima gwange gwekyusiza munda yange, Mpulira nkukwatiddwa ekisa kingi.
How shall I give you up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver you, Israel? how shall I make you as Admah? how shall I set you as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 Siikole ng’obusungu bwange obungi bwe buli, so siridda kuzikiriza Efulayimu; kubanga siri muntu wabula ndi Katonda, Omutukuvu wakati mu mmwe: sirijja na busungu.
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the middle of you: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Baligoberera Mukama; era aliwuluguma ng’empologoma. Bw’aliwuluguma, abaana be balijja nga bakankana okuva ebugwanjuba.
They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11 Balijja nga bakankana ng’ebinyonyi ebiva e Misiri, era ng’enjiibwa eziva mu Bwasuli. Ndibafuula abatuuze mu maka gaabwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, says the LORD.
12 Efulayimu aneebunguluzza obulimba, n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri eneebunguluzza obukuusa, ne Yuda ajeemedde Katonda, ajeemedde omwesigwa Omutukuvu.
Ephraim compasses me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the saints.
