Koseya 1
1 Buno bwe bubaka bwa Mukama bwe yawa Koseya mutabani wa Beeri mu mulembe gwa Uzziya, n’ogwa Yosamu, n’ogwa Akazi n’ogwa Keezeekiya, nga be bakabaka ba Yuda, ne mu mulembe gwa Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Yowaasi, nga ye kabaka wa Isirayiri.
The word of Jehovah that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2 Awo Mukama bwe yasooka okwogera eri Koseya, yamulagira nti, “Ggenda owase omukazi malaaya, omuzaalemu abaana, era banaayitibwanga abaana aboobwamalaaya, kubanga ensi eyitirizza okukola ekibi eky’obwenzi, n’eva ku Mukama.”
When Jehovah spoke at the first by Hosea, Jehovah said to Hosea, Go, take to thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom, departing from Jehovah.
3 Awo n’awasa Gomeri muwala wa Dibulayimu, n’aba olubuto, n’amuzaalira omwana wabulenzi.
So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived, and bore him a son.
4 Mukama n’agamba Koseya nti, “Mmutuume erinnya Yezuleeri, kubanga nnaatera okubonereza ennyumba ya Yeeku, olw’okuyiwa omusaayi gw’abantu ab’e Yezuleeri, era ndimalawo obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri.
And Jehovah said to him, Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
5 Ku lunaku olwo omutego gwa Isirayiri ndigumenyera mu Kiwonvu kya Yezuleeri.”
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
6 Gomeri n’aba olubuto olulala, n’azaala omwana wabuwala. Mukama n’agamba Koseya nti, “Mmutuume erinnya Lolukama, kubanga ennyumba ya Isirayiri ndiba sikyagyagala, si kulwa nga mbasonyiwa.
And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And Jehovah said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah, for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.
7 Naye ab’ennyumba ya Yuda ndibaagala, era ndibalokola, si na kasaale, newaakubadde ekitala, newaakubadde entalo, newaakubadde embalaasi newaakubadde abeebagala embalaasi, wabula nze kennyini Mukama Katonda waabwe nze ndibaagala era ne mbalokola.”
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Awo Gomeri bwe yamala okuggya Lolukama ku mabeere, n’aba olubuto olulala n’azaala omwana wabulenzi.
Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
9 Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Mmutuume erinnya Lowami, kubanga temukyali bantu bange, nange sikyali Katonda wammwe.
And Jehovah said, Call his name Lo-ammi, for ye are not my people, and I will not be yours.
10 “Naye ekiseera kirituuka abantu ba Isirayiri ne baba bangi ng’omusenyu ogw’oku nnyanja, ogutayinzika kupimibwa newaakubadde okubalibwa olw’obungi bwagwo. Mu kifo ky’okuyitibwa abatali bantu bange, baliyitibwa, baana ba Katonda omulamu.
Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered. And it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said to them, The sons of the living God.
11 Abantu ba Yuda baliddamu okwegatta n’abantu ba Isirayiri ne beerondamu omukulembeze, ne bava mu buwaŋŋanguse, era olunaku lwa Yezuleeri luliba lukulu.”
And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
