Hooseʼaa 13
1 Yeroo Efreem dubbatetti namoonni ni hollatan; inni Israaʼel keessatti ol ol jedhee ture. Garuu yakka Baʼaalin waaqeffachuutiin duʼe.
When Ephraim spake, there was trembling: hee exalted him selfe in Israel, but he hath sinned in Baal, and is dead.
2 Isaan ammas itti deddeebiʼanii cubbuu hojjetu; meetii ofii isaaniitiin waaqa tolfamaa tolfatu; fakkii mimmiidhagaa kanneen hundi isaanii harka ogeeyyiitiin hojjetaman. Waaʼee saba kanaas, “Isaan nama qalanii aarsaa dhiʼeessu; waaqa tolfamaa jabbiis ni dhungatu!” jedhame.
And nowe they sinne more and more, and haue made them molten images of their siluer, and idoles according to their owne vnderstanding: they were all the woorke of the craftesmen: they say one to another whiles they sacrifice a man, Let them kisse the calues.
3 Kanaafuu isaan akkuma hurrii ganamaa, akkuma fixeensa barii baduu, akkuma habaqii oobdii midhaan itti dhaʼan irraa kaʼuu akkuma aara foddaadhaan baʼuu ni taʼu.
Therefore they shall bee as the morning cloude, and as the morning dewe that passeth away, as the chaffe that is driuen with a whirlewind out of the floore, and as the smoke that goeth out of the chimney.
4 “Ani garuu yeroo ati Gibxii baatee jalqabee Waaqayyo Waaqa kee ti. Ati ana malee Waaqa tokko illee beekuu hin qabdu; ana malee fayyisaa tokko illee hin qabdu.
Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt knowe no God but me: for there is no Sauiour beside me.
5 Ani gammoojjii keessatti, biyya hoʼa gubaa keessatti si kunuunseera.
I did knowe thee in the wildernesse, in the land of drought.
6 Yeroo ani isaan sooretti ni quufan; isaan yeroo quufanitti of tuulan; ergasii immoo na irraanfatan.
As in their pastures, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they forgotten me.
7 Kanaafuu ani akkuma leencaa isaanitti nan taʼa; akkuma qeerransaa riphee daandii irratti isaan nan eeggadha.
And I wil be vnto them as a very lyon, and as a leopard in the way of Asshur.
8 Ani akkuma amaaketa ilmaan ishee jalaa fudhatamaniitti isaan lolee garaa isaanii nan baqaqsa. Ani akkuma leencaatti qorqee isaan nan nyaadha; bineensi bosonaa gargar isaan ciccira.
I will meete them, as a beare that is robbed of her whelpes, and I will breake the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a lion: the wilde beast shall teare them.
9 “Yaa Israaʼel, waan ana gargaaraa kee mormiteef ati baddeerta.
O Israel, one hath destroyed thee, but in me is thine helpe.
10 Akka si oolchuuf mootiin kee eessa jira? Bulchitoonni kee warri magaalaa kee hunda keessaa kanneen ati, ‘Mootii fi ilmaan moototaa naaf kenni’ jettee kadhatte sun eessa jiru?
I am: where is thy King, that shoulde help thee in al thy cities? and thy iudges, of whom thou saidest, Giue me a King, and princes?
11 Ani aarii kootiin mootii siifan kenne; dheekkamsa kootiin immoo isa sirraa nan fudhadhe.
I gaue thee a King in mine anger, and I tooke him away in my wrath.
12 Balleessaan Efreem walitti kuufamee cubbuun isaas galmeeffameera.
The iniquitie of Ephraim is bound vp: his sinne is hid.
13 Miixuun akkuma dubartii ciniinsuun qabatteetti isatti dhufa; inni garuu daaʼima wallaalaa dha; inni yommuu yeroon gaʼutti, gadameessa keessaa baʼuu hin fedhu.
The sorowes of a trauailing woman shall come vpon him: he is an vnwise sonne, els would he not stande still at the time, euen at the breaking forth of the children.
14 “Ani saba kana humna awwaalaa jalaa nan baraara; duʼa jalaa isaan nan baasa. Yaa duʼa, dhaʼichi kee meerre? Yaa awwaala, balleessuun kee meerre? “Ani gara laafina tokko illee hin qabaadhu; (Sheol h7585)
I wil redeeme them from the power of the graue: I will deliuer them from death: O death, I wil be thy death: O graue, I will be thy destruction: repentance is hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Yoo inni obboloota ofii gidduu jireenya tolaa jiraate iyyuu, bubbeen baʼaa Waaqayyo biraa ni dhufa; lafa gammoojjii keessaa ni bubbisa; burqaan isaa bishaan dhaba; boolli bishaan isaas ni goga. Mankuusni isaa, qabeenyi inni qabu hundis ni saamama.
Though he grewe vp among his brethren, an East winde shall come, euen the winde of the Lord shall come vp from the wildernesse, and drie vp his veine, and his fountaine shalbe dryed vp: he shall spoyle the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Sabni Samaariyaa waan Waaqa isaatti fincileef gatii balleessaa isaa ni argata. Isaan goraadeedhaan dhumu; daaʼimman isaanii lafatti harcaafamu; dubartoonni isaanii kanneen ulfa qabanis ni baqaqfamu.”
Samaria shalbe desolate: for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sworde: their infants shalbe dashed in pieces, and their women with childe shalbe ript.
