Koseya 7
1 na buli lwe nawonyanga Isirayiri, ebibi bya Efulayimu ne birabika, n’ebikolwa eby’ekyejo ebya Samaliya nabyo ne birabika. Balimba, bamenya ne bayingira mu mayumba, era batemu abateega abantu mu makubo.
When I woulde haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of Samaria: for they haue dealt falsly: and the theefe commeth in, and the robber spoyleth without.
2 Naye tebalowooza nga nzijukira ebikolwa byabwe byonna ebibi. Ebibi byabwe bibazingizza, era mbiraba.
And they consider not in their hearts, that I remember all their wickednes: now their owne inuentions haue beset them about: they are in my sight.
3 “Kabaka asanyukira obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’abakungu basanyukira obulimba bwabwe.
They make the King glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies.
4 Bonna benzi; bali ng’ekyoto ekyaka omuliro, omufumbi w’emigaati gw’ateetaaga kuseesaamu okutuusa obutta bw’agoye, lwabuusa ku kyoto ne buzimbulukuka.
They are all adulterers, and as a very ouen heated by ye baker, which ceaseth from raysing vp, and from kneading ye dough vntill it be leauened.
5 Ku lunaku kabaka lw’agabula embaga, abakungu ettamiiro lya wayini ne libalwaza, kabaka ne yeegatta n’abanyoomi.
This is the day of our King: the princes haue made him sicke with flagons of wine: he stretcheth out his hand to scorners.
6 Emitima gyabwe gyokerera nga oveni mu busungu bwabwe; Obusungu bwabwe bubuguumirira ekiro kyonna; mu makya ne bwaka ng’omuliro.
For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen whiles they lie in waite: their baker sleepeth all the night: in the morning it burneth as a flame of fire.
7 Bonna bookya nga oveni, era bazikiriza abakulembeze baabwe. Bakabaka baabwe bonna bagudde; tewali n’omu ku bo ankowoola.
They are all hote as an ouen, and haue deuoured their iudges: all their Kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth vnto me.
8 “Efulayimu yeegattika ne bannaggwanga; Efulayimu mugaati oguyiddeko oluuyi olumu.
Ephraim hath mixt himselfe among the people. Ephraim is as a cake on the hearth not turned.
9 Bannaggwanga banyuunyunta amaanyi ge naye takimanyi. Mu nviiri ze mulimu envi, naye takiraba.
Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray heares are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not.
10 Okwekulumbaza kwa Isirayiri kwe kubalumiriza, naye newaakubadde ng’ebyo byonna bimutuuseeko tadda eri Mukama Katonda we newaakubadde okumunoonya.
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the Lord their God, nor seeke him for all this.
11 “Efulayimu ali ng’ejjiba, alimbibwalimbibwa mangu era talina magezi; bakaabira Misiri, era bagenda eri Obwasuli.
Ephraim also is like a doue deceiued, without heart: they call to Egypt: they go to Asshur.
12 Bwe baliba balaga eyo, ndibasuulako akatimba, era ndibassa wansi ng’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga. Bwe ndiwulira nga bakuŋŋaana, ndibaziyiza.
But when they shall go, I will spred my net vpon them, and drawe them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastice them as their congregation hath heard.
13 Zibasanze, kubanga bawabye ne banvaako. Baakuzikirira kubanga banjemedde. Njagala nnyo okubanunula, naye banjogerako eby’obulimba.
Wo vnto them: for they haue fled away from me: destruction shalbe vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me: though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lyes against me.
14 Tebankaabira n’emitima gyabwe, wabula ebiwoobe babikubira ku bitanda byabwe. Bakuŋŋaana awamu olw’emmere ey’empeke ne wayini, naye ne banjeemera.
And they haue not cryed vnto me with their hearts, when they houled vpon their beds: they assembled themselues for corne, and wine, and they rebell against me.
15 Nabayigiriza ne mbawa n’amaanyi, naye bansalira enkwe.
Though I haue boud and strengthened their arme, yet doe they imagine mischiefe against me.
16 Tebakyukira oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo; bafuuse ng’omutego gw’akasaale ogwayonooneka; abakulembeze baabwe balifa kitala, olw’ebigambo byabwe ebya kalebule. Era kyebaliva babasekerera mu nsi y’e Misiri.”
They returne, but not to the most high: they are like a deceitfull bowe: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongues: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
