Hosea 7
1 Nang aking pagagalingin ang Israel, ang kasamaan nga ng Ephraim ay lumitaw, at ang kasamaan ng Samaria; sapagka't sila'y nagsinungaling; at ang magnanakaw ay pumapasok, at ang pulutong ng mga tulisan ay nananamsam sa labas.
When I was willing to heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the malice of Samaria, for they had been manufacturing lies. And the thief steals from inside, the robber from outside.
2 At hindi nila ginugunita sa kanilang mga puso na aking inaalaala ang lahat nilang kasamaan: ngayo'y kinukulong sila sa palibot ng kanilang sariling mga gawa; sila'y nangasa harap ko.
And, so that they may not say in their hearts that I am the one who has called to mind all of their wickedness: now their own inventions have encircled them. These things have happened in my presence.
3 Kanilang pinasasaya ng kanilang kasamaan ang hari, at ng kanilang pagsisinungaling ang mga prinsipe.
The king has rejoiced at their wickedness, and the leaders have rejoiced in their lies.
4 Silang lahat ay mga mangangalunya; sila'y parang hurnong iniinit ng magtitinapay; siya'y tumitigil na magsulong ng apoy, mula sa paggawa ng masa hanggang sa umaasim.
They are all adulterers; like an oven heating up before baking, the city rested a little before the leaven was mixed in, until the whole was leavened.
5 Nang kaarawan ng ating hari ang mga prinsipe ay nagpakasakit sa pamamagitan ng tapang ng alak; kaniyang iniuunat ang kaniyang kamay sa mga mangduduwahagi.
On the day of our king, the leaders began to be mad with wine; he extended his hand with those who fabricate illusions.
6 Sapagka't kanilang inihanda ang kanilang puso na parang hurno, samantalang sila'y nangagaabang: ang kanilang magtitinapay ay natutulog magdamag; sa kinaumagaha'y nagniningas na parang liyab na apoy.
For they have used their heart like an oven, while he laid snares for them; he slept through the night baking them, and by morning he himself was heated like a burning fire.
7 Silang lahat ay nangagiinit na parang hurno, at nilalamon ang kanilang mga hukom; lahat nilang hari ay nangabuwal: wala sa kanila na tumawag sa akin.
They have all become hot like an oven, and they have devoured their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one who calls to me among them.
8 Ang Ephraim, nakikisalamuha sa mga bayan; ang Ephraim ay isang tinapay na hindi binalik.
Ephraim himself has been mingled with the nations. Ephraim has become like bread, baked under ashes, that has not been turned over.
9 Nilamon ng mga taga ibang lupa ang kaniyang yaman, at hindi niya nalalaman: oo, mga uban ay nasasabog sa kaniya, at hindi niya nalalaman.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he did not know it. And grey hairs also have spread across him, and he is ignorant of it.
10 At ang kapalaluan ng Israel ay nagpapatotoo sa kaniyang mukha: gayon ma'y hindi sila nanumbalik sa Panginoon nilang Dios, ni hinanap man siya nila, dahil sa lahat na ito.
And the pride of Israel will be brought low before his face, for they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all of this.
11 At ang Ephraim ay parang isang mangmang na kalapati, na walang unawa sila'y nagsitawag sa Egipto, sila'y nagsiparoon sa Asiria.
And Ephraim has become like a pigeon that has been led astray, not having a heart; for they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
12 Pagka sila'y magsisiyaon, ay aking ilaladlad ang aking lambat sa kanila; akin silang ibabagsak na parang mga ibon sa himpapawid; aking parurusahan sila, gaya ng narinig sa kanilang kapisanan.
And when they will set out, I will spread my net over them. I will pull them down like the birds of the sky; I will cut them down in accordance with the reports of their meetings.
13 Sa aba nila! sapagka't sila'y nagsilayas sa akin; kagibaa'y suma kanila! sapagka't sila'y nagsisalangsang laban sa akin: bagaman sila'y aking tinubos, gayon ma'y nangagsalita ng kasinungalingan sila laban sa akin.
Woe to them, for they have withdrawn from me. They will waste away because they have been dishonest with me. And I redeemed them, and they have spoken lies against me.
14 At sila'y hindi nagsidaing sa akin ng kanilang puso, kundi sila'y nagsiangal sa kanilang mga higaan: sila'y nagpupulong dahil sa trigo at alak; sila'y nanganghimagsik laban sa akin.
And they have not cried out to me in their heart, but they howled on their beds. They have obsessed about wheat and wine; they have withdrawn from me.
15 Bagaman aking tinuruan at pinalakas ang kanilang mga bisig, gayon ma'y nangagisip sila ng kalikuan laban sa akin.
And I have educated them, and I have reinforced their arms; and they have imagined evil against me.
16 Sila'y nanganunumbalik, nguni't hindi sa kaniya na nasa kaitaasan: sila'y parang magdarayang busog: ang kanilang mga prinsipe ay mangabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak dahil sa poot ng kanilang dila: ito ang magiging katuyaan sa kanila sa lupain ng Egipto.
They returned so that they might be without a yoke. They have become like a deceitful bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of the madness of their words. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
