Hooseʼaa 10
1 Israaʼel muka wayinii dagaage ture; inni matuma isaatiif ija naqata. Akkuma iji isaa baayʼateen inni iddoo aarsaa hedduu ijaarrate; akkuma lafti isaa gabbatteen utubaawwan waaqeffannaa isaa miidhagfate.
An emptied vine is Israel; how should he bring forth fruit for himself? the more numerous was his fruit the more he increased the altars; the more prosperous was his land, the more they made goodly statues.
2 Garaan isaanii gowwoomsaadhaan guutameera; isaan amma yakka isaanii baadhachuu qabu. Waaqayyo iddoo aarsaa isaanii ni diiga; utubaawwan waaqeffannaa isaaniis ni barbadeessa.
Their heart is divided; now shall they bear their guilt: this will break down their altars, will devastate their statues.
3 Ergasii isaan akkana jedhu; “Nu sababii Waaqayyoon sodaachuu didneef mootii hin qabnu. Garuu utuu mootii qabaanne iyyuu inni silaa maal nuuf godha?”
For now will they say, We have no king; because we fear not the Lord: and the king—what can he do for us?
4 Isaan waan hedduu waadaa galu; kakuu sobaas seenanii walii galtee uummatu; kanaafuu seera dhabeeyyiin akkuma aramaa summii qabu kan lafa qotiisaa keessaatti latu.
They have spoken [vain] words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: therefore springeth up the punishment as poison in the furrows of the field.
5 Namoonni Samaariyaa keessa jiraatan sababii waaqa tolfamaa fakkii jabbii kan Beet Aawwen keessaa sanaatiif sodaatu. Sabni ishee isheedhaaf booʼa. Luboonni ishee ejjitoonni warri ulfina isheetiin gammadan sunis sababii isheen isaan irraa boojiʼamteef ni booʼu.
For the calves of Beth-aven are terrified the inhabitants of Samaria: yea, the people thereof mourn over them, and also its false priests that [before] rejoiced over them, for its glory, because it is departed from it.
6 Jabbichis akka harka fuudhaatti Yaariim mootichaaf Asooritti geeffama. Efreem ni salphifama; Israaʼel waaqota ishee kanneen muka irraa tolfamaniif ni qaanofti.
Also this shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to the contentious king: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed because of his own counsel.
7 Samaariyaa fi mootiin ishee akkuma hoomacha bishaan irraatti fudhatamanii badu.
As for Samaria, her king shall vanish like the foam upon the surface of the water.
8 Iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen Awween ni barbadeeffamu; kunis cubbuu Israaʼel. Qoraattii fi sokorruun irratti biqilee iddoo aarsaa isaanii haguuga. Yeroo sana namoonni tulluuwwaniin, “Nurratti jigaa!” gaarraniin immoo, “Nu dhoksaa!” jedhu.
And destroyed shall be the high-places of Aven, [the cause of] the sin of Israel; the thorn and the thistle shall grow upon their altars: and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall upon us.
9 “Yaa Israaʼel isin bara Gibeʼaatii jalqabdanii cubbuu hojjettaniirtu; ammas achumatti haftaniirtu. Gibeʼaa keessatti waraanni kaʼee jalʼoota hin fixuu?
More than in the days of Gib'ah hast thou sinned, O Israel! there they stood; and the battle in Gib'ah against the children of wickedness did not overtake them.
10 Ani yoon fedhe isaan nan adaba; sababii cubbuu isaanii dachaa sanaatiif hidhaa keessa isaan buusuuf saboonni naannoo isaaniitti walitti qabamu.
[But now] after my desire will I chastise them: and the people shall be gathered against them, when they harness them [for labor] in their two furrows.
11 Efreem goromsa leenjifame kan midhaan siribsiisuu jaallatuu dha; kanaafuu ani morma ishee irra waanjoo nan kaaʼa. Ani Efreemin nan oofa; Yihuudaan lafa qotiisaa qotuu qaba; Yaaqoobis biyyoo bulleessuu qaba.
And Ephraim is as a well-taught heifer that loveth to tread out the corn; and I passed over her fair neck: now will I make Ephraim draw the wagon, Judah shall plough, and Jacob shall harrow the field for the enemy.
12 Ofii keessaniif qajeelummaa facaafadhaatii ija jaalalaa kan hin dhumne haammadhaa; lafa keessan kan hin qotamin illee baqaqsaa; yeroon kun yeroo hamma inni dhufee qajeelummaa isinitti roobsutti Waaqayyoon barbaaddataniitii.
Sow then for yourselves after righteousness, that you may reap [the fruit] of kindness; cultivate your fallow field; for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness down for you.
13 Isin garuu hammina facaafattanii jalʼina haammattan; isin ija sobaa nyaattaniirtu. Sababii ati jabina keetii fi loltoota kee baayʼee sana abdatteef,
[But] ye have ploughed wickedness, iniquity have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy own way, in the multitude of thy mighty men:
14 akkuma Shalmaan gaafa lolaatti Beet Arbeelin balleessee haadhota ijoollee isaanii wajjin biyyootti makaman sana, daʼannoowwan kee hundi ni barbadaaʼu; huursaan waraanaas saba keetti ni kaʼa.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be wasted, as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel on the day of battle, [when] the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 Yaa Beetʼeel, sababii hamminni kee akka malee guddaa taʼeef, wanni akkasii sittis ni dhufti. Gaafa guyyaan sun bariʼutti mootiin Israaʼel guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffama.
The like of this doth Beth-el procure unto you because of your great wickedness: in the early morning shall utterly pass away the king of Israel.
