Hooseʼaa 7
1 yeroo ani Israaʼelin fayyisutti cubbuun Efreem saaxilamee yakki Samaariyaas ifatti baafama. Isaan nama gowwoomsu; hattuun cabsitee mana seenti; saamtonni daandii irratti nama saamu;
When I would have brought healing to Israel, then was disclosed the iniquity of Ephraim, and the wicked doings of Samaria, for they have wrought falsehood, —when, a thief, would enter, a band roamed about, outside,
2 isaan garuu akka ani jalʼina isaanii hunda yaadadhu hin hubatan. Cubbuun isaanii isaan marseera; yeroo hundas fuula koo dura jira.
And they say not to their own hearts, that, all their wickedness, I remember, now, have their doings, beset them about, right before my face, have they been done.
3 “Isaan hammina isaaniitiin mootii, soba isaaniitiin immoo ilmaan mootii gammachiisu.
By their wickedness, they gladden a king, and, by their flatteries, —rulers.
4 Isaan hundinuu ejjitoota, akkuma badaa ibiddaa kan tolchituun tokko yeroo bukoo sukkuumanii jalqabee hamma inni bukaaʼutti itti tuttuquu hin barbaannee ti.
They all, are adulterers, like an oven too hot for the baker, —who leaveth off stoking, after kneading the dough, till the whole be leavened.
5 Guyyaa ayyaana mootii keenyaatti ilmaan moototaa daadhii wayiniitiin finiinan; innis qoostota wajjin harka isaa diriirsa.
In the day of our king, the rulers, have made themselves ill, with the heat of wine, —he hath extended his hand with scoffers.
6 Akkuma badaa ibiddaatti garaa isaanii qopheessaniiru; isaan dabaan gara isaatti dhiʼaatu. Aariin isaanii halkan guutuu irraa hin galu; ganama immoo akkuma arraba ibiddaa balaliʼa.
For they have made ready, like an oven, their heart, by their lying in wait, —all the night, their baker sleepeth, in the morning, he, kindleth up as it were a blazing fire.
7 Hundi isaanii akkuma badaa ibiddaa hoʼu; bulchitoota isaaniis ni fixu. Mootonni isaanii hundinuu ni dhumu; tokkoon isaanii iyyuu na hin waammatan.
They all, become hot as an oven, and devour their judges, —all their kings, have fallen, there hath been none among them crying unto me.
8 “Efreem sabootaan walitti makama; Efreem maxinoo gara hin galfaminii dha.
As for Ephraim! with the peoples, hath he been mingling himself, —Ephraim, is a cake not turned.
9 Namoonni ormaa humna isaa nyaatan; inni garuu hin hubatu. Arriin isatti baʼe; inni garuu hin beeku.
Foreigners have, eaten up, his strength, and, he, knoweth it not, —even gray hairs, are sprinkled upon him, and, he, knoweth it not.
10 Of tuulummaan Israaʼel dhugaa isatti baʼa; inni garuu utuu wanni kun hundi akkana taʼee jiruu, gara Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatti hin deebiʼu yookaan isa hin barbaaddatu.
Therefore doth the Excellency of Israel, answer, to his face; yet have they not returned unto Yahweh their God, nor have they sought him, in spite of all this!
11 “Efreem akkuma gugee gowwaa sammuu hin qabnee ti; isaan Gibxin waammatu; isaan gara Asooritti deebiʼu.
So then, Ephraim, hath become, like a simple dove, having no understanding, on Egypt, have they called, to Assyria, have they gone,
12 Yommuu isaan deeman ani kiyyoo koo isaan irra nan buusa; ani akkuma simbirroo samii gad isaan nan harkisa. Ani yommuun akka isaan walii wajjin yaaʼan dhagaʼutti, isaan nan qaba.
Whithersoever they go, I will spread over them my net, like a bird of the heavens, will I bring them down, I will chastise them, by the time the report can reach the flock of them.
13 Waan narraa goraniif isaaniif wayyoo! Waan natti fincilaniif badiisni isaaniif mala! Ani isaan furuu nan barbaada; isaan garuu waaʼee koo soba dubbatu.
Woe to them! for they have taken flight from me, destruction to them! for they have transgressed against me, —when, I, would have ransomed them, then, they, spake—concerning me—falsehoods.
14 Isaan garaa isaanii guutuudhaan gara kootti hin iyyatan; garuu siree isaanii irra tataaʼanii booʼu. Isaan midhaanii fi daadhii wayiniitiif walitti qabamu; garuu natti fincilu.
Neither made they outcry unto me, in their heart, although they kept on howling upon their beds, over corn and new wine, they gathered themselves together, they rebelled against me.
15 Ani leenjiseen irree isaanii jajjabeesse; isaan garuu waan hamaa natti yaadu.
When, I, had warned them, I strengthened their arm, —yet, against me, kept they on devising wickedness.
16 Isaan gara Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitti hin deebiʼan; isaan akkuma xiyya jalʼatee ti. Hooggantoonni isaanii sababii soba dubbataniif goraadeedhaan dhumu. Sababii kanaaf isaan biyya Gibxitti ni tuffatamu.
They would return—not to him who is on high! They have become like a deceitful bow, their rulers, shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue, this, [shall be] their derision in the land of Egypt.
