Koseya 2
1 “Mwogere ku baganda bammwe nti, ‘bantu bange,’ mwogere ne ku bannyinammwe nti, ‘baagalwa bange.’”
Say ye to your brethren: You are my people, and to your sister: Thou hast obtained mercy.
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;
Judge your mother, judge her: because she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her put away her fornications 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 I will make her as a wilderness, and will set her as a land that none can pass through, and will kill her with drought.
4 Sirilaga kwagala kwange eri abaana be, kubanga baana ba bwenzi.
And I will not have mercy on her children: for they are the children of fornications.
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 committed fornication, she that conceived them is covered with shame: for she said: I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, my oil, and my drink.
6 Kyendiva nziba ekkubo lye n’amaggwa, ne mmuzimbako bbugwe okumwetooloola, aleme okulaba ekkubo wayitira.
Wherefore behold I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will stop it up with a wall, and 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 follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them: and she shall seek them, and shall not find, and she shall say: I will go, and return to my first husband, because it was better with me then, 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 gave her corn and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver, and gold, which they have used in the service of 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 its season, and my wine in its season, and I will set at liberty my wool, and my flax, which covered her disgrace.
10 Era kyenaava nyanika obukaba bwe mu maaso ga baganzi be, so tewaliba amuwonya mu mukono gwange.
And now I will lay open her folly in the eyes of her lovers: and no man 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 solemnities, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her festival times.
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 destroy her vines, and her fig trees, of which she said: These are my rewards, which my lovers have given me: and I will make her as a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour her.
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 Baalim, to whom she burnt incense, and decked herself out with her earrings, and with her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord.
14 Kale kyendiva musendasenda, ne mmutwala mu ddungu, ne njogera naye n’eggonjebwa.
Therefore, behold I will allure her, and will lead her into the wilderness: and I will 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 vinedressers out of the same place, and the valley of Achor for an opening of hope: and she shall sing there according to the days of her youth, and according to the days of her coming 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 the Lord, That she shall call me: My husband, and she shall call me no more Baali.
17 Ndiggya amannya ga Babaali mu kamwa ke, so taliddayo nate okwasanguza amannya gaabwe.
And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and she shall no more remember 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 in that day I will make a covenant with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air, and with the creeping things of the earth: and I will destroy the bow, and the sword, and war out of the land: and I will make them sleep secure.
19 Era ndikwogereza ennaku zonna, ndikwogereza mu butuukirivu, ne mu mazima, ne mu kwagala ne mu kusaasira.
And I will espouse thee to me for ever: and I will espouse thee to me in justice, and judgment, and in mercy, and in commiserations.
20 Ndikwogereza mu bwesigwa, era olimanya Mukama.
And I will espouse thee to me in faith: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
21 “Ku lunaku olwo, ndyanukula eggulu, nalyo ne lyanukula ensi;
And it shall come to pass in that day: I will hear, saith the Lord, 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 core, and the wine, and the oil, and these shall hear Jezrahel.
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 earth, and I will have mercy on her that was without mercy. And I will say to that which was not my people: Thou art my people: and they shall say: Thou art my God.
