Koseya 4
1 Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama, mmwe abantu ba Isirayiri, kubanga Mukama abalinako ensonga mmwe abatuula mu nsi. “Obwesigwa n’okwagala Katonda, n’okumumanya bikendedde mu nsi.
Hear [the] word of Yahweh O people of Israel for a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with [the] inhabitants of the land for there not [is] faithfulness and there not [is] covenant loyalty and there not [is] knowledge of God in the land.
2 Waliwo okukolima, n’okulimba, n’okutta, n’okubba, n’okukola eby’obwenzi; bawaguza, era bayiwa omusaayi obutakoma.
Cursing and deceiving and murdering and stealing and committing adultery people have broken out and blood blood they have touched.
3 Ensi kyeneeva ekaaba, ne bonna abagibeeramu ne bafuuka ekitagasa; n’ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko zirifa, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga nazo zirifa, n’ebyennyanja ebiri mu nnyanja ne bifa.
There-fore - it will dry up the land and he will wither every [one who] dwells in it among [the] animal[s] of the field and among [the] bird[s] of the heavens and also [the] fish of the sea they will be removed.
4 “Naye temuloopagana, so tewabaawo muntu avunaana munne, kubanga ensonga ngivunaana gwe kabona.
Nevertheless anyone may not he bring a case and may not he reprove anyone and people your [is] like [those who] contend a priest.
5 Wakola ebibi emisana n’ekiro, ne bannabbi ne babikolera wamu naawe; kyendiva nzikiriza maama wo.
And you will stumble the day and he will stumble also a prophet with you night and I will destroy mother your.
6 Abantu bange bazikiridde olw’obutamanya. “Kyemunaava mulema okubeera bakabona bange; era olw’okulagajjalira etteeka lya Katonda wo, nange kyendiva ndagajjalira abaana bo.
They have been destroyed people my because not knowledge for you knowledge you have rejected and I will reject you from serving as a priest me and you have forgotten [the] law of God your I will forget children your also I.
7 Gye beeyongera okuba abangi, gye baakoma n’okukola ebibi; baasuula ekitiibwa kyabwe ne banswaza.
As increased they so they sinned to me glory their for shame I will exchange.
8 Bagaggawalira ku bibi by’abantu bange, era basemba okwonoona kwabwe.
[the] sin of People my they eat and to iniquity their they lift up desire its.
9 Era bwe kityo bwe kiriba eri abantu n’eri bakabona: ndibabonereza olw’enneeyisa yaabwe, era ne mbasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe.
And it will be as the people as the priest and I will visit on him ways his and deeds his I will repay to him.
10 “Balirya naye tebalikkuta, balikola ebibi eby’obwenzi kyokka tebalyeyongera bungi, kubanga bavudde ku Mukama ne beewaayo
And they will eat and not they will be satisfied they will prostitute themselves and not they will increase for Yahweh they have forsaken to keep.
11 eri obwenzi, wayini omukadde n’omusu, ne bibamalamu okutegeera.
Prostitution and wine and new wine it takes away [the] heart.
12 Abantu bange beebuuza ku kikonge ky’omuti, ne baddibwamu omuti. Omwoyo ogw’obwenzi gubasendasenda ne gubaleetera obutaba beesigwa eri Katonda waabwe.
People my by wood his he enquires and stick his it tells to him for a spirit of prostitution it has misled and they have prostituted themselves from under God their.
13 Baweerayo ssaddaaka ku ntikko z’ensozi, ne baweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku busozi, wansi w’emyalooni, n’emiribine n’emyera awali ekisiikirize ekirungi. Bawala bammwe kyebava baba bamalaaya, ne baka baana bammwe ne bakola obwenzi.
On [the] tops of the mountains they sacrifice and on the hills they make smoke under oak and poplar and terebinth for [is] good shade its there-fore they prostitute themselves daughters your and brides your they commit adultery.
14 “Siribonereza bawala bammwe olw’okubeera bamalaaya, newaakubadde baka baana bammwe okukola eby’obwenzi, kubanga abasajja bennyini bassa bumu ne bamalaaya, ne baweerayo ssaddaaka ne bamalaaya ab’omu masabo; abantu abatategeera balizikirira.
Not I will visit [judgment] on daughters your if they prostitute themselves and on brides your if they commit adultery for they [masc] with the prostitutes they go apart and with the cult prostitutes they sacrifice and a people [which] not it understands it will be ruined.
15 “Newaakubadde ggwe Isirayiri oyenda, omusango guleme okuba ku Yuda. Togenda Girugaali, newaakubadde okwambuka e Besaveni. Tolayiranga nti, ‘Nga Katonda bw’ali omulamu.’
Though [are] prostituting yourself you O Israel may not it become guilty Judah and may not you go Gilgal and may not you go up Beth Aven and may not you swear [by] [the] life of Yahweh.
16 Abayisirayiri bakakanyavu mu mitima ng’ennyana endalu. Olwo Mukama ayinza atya okubalabirira ng’abaana b’endiga abali mu kisibo?
For like a heifer stubborn it is stubborn Israel now he will pasture them Yahweh like a lamb in roomy place.
17 Efulayimu yeegasse n’abasinza ebifaananyi, mumuleke abeere yekka.
[is] joined of Idols Ephraim leave alone him.
18 Ebyokunywa ne bwe bibaggwaako, beeyongera mu bwamalaaya; n’abakulembeze baabwe baagala nnyo eby’ensonyi:
It has come to an end drink their certainly they have prostituted themselves they have loved love shame shields its.
19 Embuyaga kyeziriva zibatwala, ne ssaddaaka zaabwe ne zibaswaza.”
It has wrapped a wind it in wings its so they may be ashamed from sacrifices their.
