Hosea 9
1 Usifurahi, Israeli, kwa furaha kama watu wengine. Kwa maana haukuwa mwaminifu, umemuacha Mungu wako. Unapenda kulipa mshahara kwa kahaba kwenye sakafu zote za nafaka.
May not you rejoice O Israel - to rejoicing like the peoples for you have prostituted yourself from with God your you have loved [the] hire of a prostitute on all threshing floors of grain.
2 Lakini sakafu na divai hazitawalisha; divai mpya itampungukia.
Threshing floor and wine-press not it will feed them and new wine it will fail it.
3 Hawawezi kuendelea kuishi katika nchi ya Bwana; badala yake, Efraimu atarudi Misri, na siku moja watakula chakula kichafu katika Ashuru.
Not they will remain in [the] land of Yahweh and he will return Ephraim Egypt and in Assyria unclean [food] they will eat.
4 Hawatamtolea Bwana sadaka za divai, wala hawatamfurahisha. Dhabihu zao zitakuwa kwao kama chakula cha matanga wote wanaolila watakuwa wamejisikia. Maana chakula chao kitakuwa chao pekee; hautakuingia nyumbani mwa Bwana.
Not they will pour out to Yahweh - wine and not they will be pleasing to him sacrifices their [will be] like bread of mourning to them all [those who] eat it they will make themselves unclean for bread their [will be] for self their not it will go [the] house of Yahweh.
5 Utafanya nini siku ya sikukuu iliyowekwa rasmi, siku ya sikukuu ya Yahweh?
What? will you do to [the] day of an appointed feast and to [the] day of [the] festival of Yahweh.
6 Kwa maana, angalia, wamekimbia uharibifu, Misri itawakusanya, na Nofu itawazika. Maana hazina zao za pesa za fedha zitakuwa nao, na miiba itajaza hema zao.
For there! they have gone from [the] devastation Egypt it will gather them Memphis it will bury them treasure of silver their nettle[s] it will take possession of them thorn[s] [will be] in tents their.
7 Siku za adhabu zinakuja; siku za kulipiza kisasi zinakuja. Waisraeli wote wajue mambo haya. Nabii ni mpumbavu, na mtu aliyevuviwa ni mwendawazimu, kwa sababu ya uovu wako mkubwa na uadui mkubwa.
They have come - [the] days of punishment they have come [the] days of retribution let them know Israel [is] a fool the prophet [is] mad [the] person of the spirit on [the] greatness of iniquity your and great animosity.
8 Nabii ndiye mlinzi wa Mungu wangu juu ya Efraimu. Lakini mtego wa ndege ni juu ya njia zake zote, na uadui umo katika nyumba ya Mungu wake.
[was] a watchman Ephraim with God my a prophet a trap of a fowler [is] on all ways his animosity [is] in [the] house of God his.
9 Wamejiharibu wenyewe kama siku za Gibea. Mungu atawakumbusha uovu wao, naye atawaadhibu dhambi zao.
They have made deep they have dealt corruptly like [the] days of Gibeah he will remember iniquity their he will punish sins their.
10 Bwana asema, “Nilipoikuta Israeli, ilikuwa kama kutafuta zabibu jangwani. Kama matunda ya kwanza ya msimu kwenye mtini, nimewaona baba zenu. Lakini wakaenda Baal Peori, nao wakajitoa kwenye sanamu ya aibu. Walikuwa chukizo kama sanamu waliyoipenda.
Like grapes in the wilderness I found Israel like early fig[s] on a fig tree at beginning its I saw ancestors your they they came Baal Peor and they devoted themselves to shame and they were detestable things as loved they.
11 Na kwa ajili ya Efraimu, utukufu wao utatoka kama ndege. Hakutakuwa na kuzaa, hakuna mimba, wala achukuaye mimba.
Ephraim like bird it will fly away glory their from child bearing and from womb and from conception.
12 Ingawa wameleta watoto, nitawachukua ili asibaki hata mmoja. Ole wao nikiwaacha!
That except they will bring up children their and I will bereave them from everyone for also woe! to them when depart I from them.
13 Nimeiona Efraimu, kama vile Tiro, alipandwa katika mlima, lakini Efraimu atatoa watoto wake kwa mtu atakayewaua.
Ephraim just as I have seen to Tyre [is] planted in pastureland and Ephraim to bring out to [one who] kills children his.
14 Wape, Bwana-utawapa nini? Wape tumbo lenye kuharibu mimba na matiti ambayo haitoi maziwa.
Give to them O Yahweh what? will you give give to them a womb [which] miscarry and breasts [which] dry up.
15 'Kwa sababu ya uovu wao wote huko Gilgali, ndivyo nilipowachukia. Kwa sababu ya matendo yao ya dhambi, nitawafukuza nje ya nyumba yangu. Sitawapenda tena; maofisa wao wote ni waasi.
All wickedness their [is] in Gilgal for there I hated them on [the] wickedness of deeds their from house my I will drive out them not I will repeat to love them all leaders their [are] rebellious.
16 Efraimu ni mgonjwa, na mizizi yao imekauka; hawazai matunda. Hata ikiwa wana watoto, nitawaua watoto wao wapendwa.
He has been struck Ephraim root their it has dried up fruit (not *Q(K)*) they will produce! also if they [masc] will give birth! and I will put to death [the] precious things of [masc] womb their.
17 Mungu wangu atawakataa kwa sababu hawakumtii. Watakuwa watu wa kutangatanga kati ya mataifa.
He will reject them God my for not they have listened to him so they may be wanderers among the nations.
