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 would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers plunder outside.
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 wickedness: now their own doings have beset them on every side; they are before my face.
3 “Kabaka asanyukira obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’abakungu basanyukira obulimba bwabwe.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, 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, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it is leavened.
5 Ku lunaku kabaka lw’agabula embaga, abakungu ettamiiro lya wayini ne libalwaza, kabaka ne yeegatta n’abanyoomi.
In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 Emitima gyabwe gyokerera nga oveni mu busungu bwabwe; Obusungu bwabwe bubuguumirira ekiro kyonna; mu makya ne bwaka ng’omuliro.
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7 Bonna bookya nga oveni, era bazikiriza abakulembeze baabwe. Bakabaka baabwe bonna bagudde; tewali n’omu ku bo ankowoola.
They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth to me.
8 “Efulayimu yeegattika ne bannaggwanga; Efulayimu mugaati oguyiddeko oluuyi olumu.
Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Bannaggwanga banyuunyunta amaanyi ge naye takimanyi. Mu nviiri ze mulimu envi, naye takiraba.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon 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 do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek 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 silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 Bwe baliba balaga eyo, ndibasuulako akatimba, era ndibassa wansi ng’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga. Bwe ndiwulira nga bakuŋŋaana, ndibaziyiza.
When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
13 Zibasanze, kubanga bawabye ne banvaako. Baakuzikirira kubanga banjemedde. Njagala nnyo okubanunula, naye banjogerako eby’obulimba.
Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies 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 have not cried to me with their heart, when they wailed upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and wine, and they rebel against me.
15 Nabayigiriza ne mbawa n’amaanyi, naye bansalira enkwe.
Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief 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 return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
