Koseya 5
1 Muwulire kino mmwe bakabona! Musseeyo omwoyo, mmwe Isirayiri! Muwulirize, mmwe ennyumba ya Kabaka! Omusango guli ku mmwe: Mubadde kyambika e Mizupa, era ekitimba ekitegeddwa ku Taboli.
“Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
2 Abajeemu bamaliridde okutta, naye ndibabonereza bonna.
The rebels are deep in slaughter, but I discipline all of them.
3 Mmanyi byonna ebikwata ku Efulayimu, so ne Isirayiri tankisibwa. Efulayimu weewaddeyo okukuba obwamalaaya, ne Isirayiri yeeyonoonye.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
4 Ebikolwa byabwe tebibaganya kudda eri Katonda waabwe, kubanga omwoyo ogw’obwamalaaya guli mu mitima gyabwe, so tebamanyi Mukama.
Their deeds will not allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
5 Amalala ga Isirayiri gabalumiriza; Abayisirayiri ne Efulayimu balyesittala olw’omusango gwabwe; ne Yuda alyesittalira wamu nabo.
The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
6 Bwe baligenda n’ebisibo byabwe n’amagana gaabwe okunoonya Mukama, tebalimulaba; abaviiridde, abeeyawuddeko.
They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD, but they will not find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
7 Tebabadde beesigwa eri Mukama; bazadde abaana aboobwenzi. Embaga ez’omwezi ogwakaboneka kyeziriva zibamalawo, n’ennimiro zaabwe ne ziragajjalirwa.
They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
8 Mufuuwe eŋŋombe mu Gibea, n’ekkondeere mu Laama. Muyimuse amaloboozi e Besaveni; mutukulembere mmwe Benyamini.
“Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
9 Efulayimu alifuuka matongo ku lunaku olw’okubonerezebwa. Nnangirira ebiribaawo mu bika bya Isirayiri.
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
10 Abakulembeze ba Yuda bali ng’abo abajjulula ensalo, era ndibafukako obusungu bwange ng’omujjuzo gw’amazzi.
The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
11 Efulayimu anyigirizibwa, era omusango gumumezze, kubanga yamalirira okugoberera bakatonda abalala.
Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment, because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
12 Kyenvudde nfuuka ng’ennyenje eri Efulayimu, n’eri ennyumba ya Yuda n’emba ng’ekintu ekivundu.
Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
13 “Efulayimu bwe yalaba obulwadde bwe, ne Yuda n’alaba ekivundu kye, Efulayimu n’addukira mu Bwasuli, n’atumya obuyambi okuva eri kabaka waayo omukulu. Naye tasobola kubawonya newaakubadde okubajjanjaba ebiwundu byabwe.
“When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
14 Kyendiva mbeera ng’empologoma eri Efulayimu, era ng’empologoma ey’amaanyi eri ennyumba ya Yuda. Ndibataagulataagula ne ŋŋenda; ndibeetikka ne mbatwala, ne babulwako ayinza okubawonya.
For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
15 Ndiddayo mu kifo kyange, okutuusa lwe balikkiriza omusango gwabwe. Balinnoonya, mu buyinike bwabwe, balinnoonya n’omutima gwabwe gwonna.”
I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
