Koseya 2
1 “Mwogere ku baganda bammwe nti, ‘bantu bange,’ mwogere ne ku bannyinammwe nti, ‘baagalwa bange.’”
Say unto your brethren Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Munenye nnyammwe, mumunenye, kubanga si mukazi wange, so nange siri bba. Aggyewo obukaba obuli mu maaso ge, n’obwenzi obuva wakati w’amabeere ge;
Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 nneme okumwambulira ddala ne mmulekeraawo nga bwe yali ku lunaku kwe yazaalibwa; ne mmufuula ng’eddungu, ne mmulekawo ng’ensi enkalu eteriiko ky’egasa, ne mmussa ennyonta.
lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her as a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
4 Sirilaga kwagala kwange eri abaana be, kubanga baana ba bwenzi.
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of whoredoms.
5 Nnyabwe yakola obwenzi, n’abazaalira mu buwemu. Yayogera nti, “Ndigenda eri baganzi bange abampa emmere n’amazzi, n’ebimbugumya n’ebyokwambala, n’amafuta n’ekyokunywa.”
For their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
6 Kyendiva nziba ekkubo lye n’amaggwa, ne mmuzimbako bbugwe okumwetooloola, aleme okulaba ekkubo wayitira.
Therefore behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns; and I will fence [her] in with a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7 Aligezaako okugoberera baganzi be abakwate, naye talibatuukako, alibanoonya naye talibalaba. Oluvannyuma alyogera nti, “Naagenda eri bba wange eyasooka, kubanga mu biro ebyo nabanga bulungi okusinga bwe ndi kaakano.”
And she shall pursue after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, and shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then was it better with me than now.
8 Tajjukira nga nze namuwanga eŋŋaano, ne wayini n’amafuta, era eyamuwa effeeza ne zaabu bye baakozesanga okuweerezanga Baali.
And she did not know that I had given her the corn and the new wine and the oil, and had multiplied to her the silver and gold, which they employed for Baal.
9 “Kyendiva neddiza emmere yange ey’empeke ng’eyengedde, ne wayini wange ng’atuuse; era nzija kumuggyako ebyambalo byange eby’ebbugumu n’ebyambalo byange ebya bulijjo, bye yayambalanga.
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my new wine in its season, and will withdraw my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Era kyenaava nyanika obukaba bwe mu maaso ga baganzi be, so tewaliba amuwonya mu mukono gwange.
And now will I discover her impiety in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 Ndikomya ebinyumu bye byonna, n’embaga ze eza buli mwaka, n’embaga ze ez’emyezi egyakaboneka, ne ssabbiiti ze, n’enkuŋŋaana ze zonna entukuvu.
And I will cause all her mirth to cease: her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths! and all her solemnities.
12 Ndizikiriza emizabbibu gye n’emitiini gye, gye yayogerako nti, ‘Guno gwe musaala baganzi bange gwe bansasula.’ Ndibizisa, era n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko ziribyonoona.
And I will make desolate her vine and her fig-tree, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards which my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 Ndimubonereza olw’ennaku ze yayotereza obubaane eri Babaali, ne yeeyambaza empeta n’ebintu eby’omuwendo ennyo, n’agenda eri baganzi be, naye nze n’aneerabira,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I will visit upon her the days of the Baals, wherein she burned incense to them, and decked herself with her rings and jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith Jehovah.
14 Kale kyendiva musendasenda, ne mmutwala mu ddungu, ne njogera naye n’eggonjebwa.
Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to her heart.
15 Era eyo ndimuddiza ennimiro ze ez’emizabbibu, ne nfuula Ekiwonvu kya Akoli oluggi olw’essuubi. Alimpuliriza nga bwe yampulirizanga mu nnaku ez’obuvubuka bwe, era nga mu biro bye yaviira mu nsi ya Misiri.
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 “Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “olimpita nti, ‘mwami wange;’ toliddayo nate kumpita, ‘Mukama wange.’”
And it shall be in that day, saith Jehovah, [that] thou shalt call me, My husband, and shalt call me no more, Baali;
17 Ndiggya amannya ga Babaali mu kamwa ke, so taliddayo nate okwasanguza amannya gaabwe.
for I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 Ku lunaku olwo ndibakolera endagaano n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga, n’ebyewalula ku ttaka, era ndiggyawo obusaale, n’ekitala, n’entalo mu nsi, bonna ne batuula mirembe.
And I will make a covenant for them in that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will break bow and sword and battle out of the land; and I will make them to lie down safely.
19 Era ndikwogereza ennaku zonna, ndikwogereza mu butuukirivu, ne mu mazima, ne mu kwagala ne mu kusaasira.
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; and I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies;
20 Ndikwogereza mu bwesigwa, era olimanya Mukama.
and I will betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know Jehovah.
21 “Ku lunaku olwo, ndyanukula eggulu, nalyo ne lyanukula ensi;
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith Jehovah, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 ensi erimeramu emmere ey’empeke, ne wayini n’amafuta, nabyo ne bifunibwa Yezuleeri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
and the earth shall hear the corn, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jizreel.
23 “Ndimwesimbira mu nsi, ndisaasira oyo eyayitibwanga nti, atasaasirwa, era ndigamba abataali bantu bange nti, ‘Bantu bange,’ era nabo balyogera nti, ‘Ggwe Katonda wange.’”
And I will sow her unto me in the land; and I will have mercy upon Lo-ruhamah; and I will say to Lo-ammi, Thou art my people; and they shall say, My God.
