Koseya 9
1 Tosanyuka ggwe Isirayiri; tojaguza ng’amawanga amalala, kubanga tobadde mwesigwa eri Katonda wo, weegomba empeera eya malaaya ku buli gguuliro.
Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for thou hast played the harlot, [departing] from thy God; thou hast loved hire upon every grain-floor.
2 Egguuliro n’essogolero tebiribaliisa, ne wayini omusu alibaggwaako.
The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
3 Tebalisigala mu nsi ya Mukama; Efulayimu aliddayo e Misiri n’alya emmere etali nnongoofu mu Bwasuli.
They shall not dwell in Jehovah’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
4 Tebaliwaayo biweebwayo ebya wayini eri Mukama, so ne ssaddaaka zaabwe tezirimusanyusa. Ssaddaaka zaabwe ziriba ng’emmere ey’abakungubazi, ne bonna abaliziryako balifuuka abatali balongoofu. Emmere eyo eriba yaabwe bo, so teriyingizibwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
They shall not pour out wine-[offerings] to Jehovah, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
5 Kiki ky’olikola ku lunaku olw’embaga ezaalondebwa, ku lunaku olw’embaga ya Mukama?
What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
6 Ne bwe baliwona okuzikirira, Misiri alibakuŋŋaanya, ne Menfisi alibaziika. Eby’obugagga byabwe ebya ffeeza birizika, n’eweema zaabwe zirimeramu amaggwa.
For, lo, they are gone away from destruction; [yet] Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
7 Ennaku ez’okubonerezebwa zijja, ennaku ez’okusasulirwamu ziri kumpi. Ekyo Isirayiri akimanye. Olw’ebibi byammwe okuba ebingi ennyo, n’obukambwe bwammwe obungi, nnabbi ayitibwa musirusiru, n’oyo eyabikkulirwa mumuyita mugu wa ddalu.
The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the man that hath the spirit is mad, for the abundance of thine iniquity, and because the enmity is great.
8 Nnabbi awamu ne Katonda wange ye mukuumi wa Efulayimu, newaakubadde nga waliwo emitego mu kkubo lye, n’obukambwe mu nnyumba ya Katonda we.
Ephraim [was] a watchman with my God: as for the prophet, a fowler’s snare is in all his ways, [and] enmity in the house of his God.
9 Boonoonye nnyo nnyini nga mu nnaku ez’e Gibea. Katonda alijjukira obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’ababonereza olw’ebibi byabwe.
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 We nasangira Isirayiri, kyali nga kulaba zabbibu mu ddungu. Bwe nalaba bajjajjammwe, kyali nga kulaba ebibala ebisooka ku mutiini. Naye bwe bajja e Baalipyoli, beewonga eri ekifaananyi eky’ensonyi, ne bafuuka ekyenyinnyalwa ng’ekifaananyi kye baayagala.
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at its first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
11 Ekitiibwa kya Efulayimu kiribuuka ne kigenda ng’ekinyonyi nga tewali kuzaala, newaakubadde okuba olubuto newaakubadde okufuna olubuto.
As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
12 Ne bwe balikuza abaana baabwe, ndibabaggyako bonna. Ziribasanga bwe ndibavaako.
Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, so that not a man shall be left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13 Nalaba Efulayimu ng’asimbiddwa mu kifo ekirungi, nga Ttuulo bw’ali. Naye Efulayimu alifulumya abaana be ne battibwa.
Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer.
14 Bawe Ayi Mukama Katonda. Olibawa ki? Leetera embuto zaabwe okuvaamu obawe n’amabeere amakalu.
Give them, O Jehovah—what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 Olw’ebibi byabwe byonna mu Girugaali, kyennava mbakyayira eyo. Olw’ebikolwa byabwe ebitali bya butuukirivu, kyendiva mbagoba mu nnyumba yange. Siribaagala nate; abakulembeze baabwe bonna bajeemu.
All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters.
16 Efulayimu balwadde, emirandira gyabwe gikaze, tebakyabala bibala. Ne bwe balizaala abaana baabwe, nditta ezzadde lyabwe lye baagala ennyo.
Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
17 Katonda wange alibavaako kubanga tebamugondedde; baliba momboze mu mawanga.
My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
