Hosea 10
1 Israẹli jẹ́ igi àjàrà tó gbilẹ̀ ó ń so èso fún ara rẹ̀. Bí èso rẹ̀ ṣe ń pọ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó ń kọ́ pẹpẹ sí i bí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ṣe ń ṣe rere o bu ọlá fún òkúta ìyàsọ́tọ̀ ère rẹ̀.
“Israel [is] an empty vine, He makes fruit like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He has multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made good standing-pillars.
2 Ọkàn wọn kún fún ìtànjẹ báyìí wọ́n gbọdọ̀ ru ẹ̀bi wọn. Olúwa yóò wó pẹpẹ wọn palẹ̀ yóò sì pa gbogbo òkúta ìyàsọ́tọ̀ wọn run.
Their heart has been divided, now they are guilty, He breaks down their altars, He destroys their standing-pillars.
3 Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò wí pé, “A kò ní ọba nítorí tí a kò bọ̀wọ̀ fún Olúwa ṣùgbọ́n bí a tilẹ̀ ní ọba, kí ni yóò ṣe fún wa?”
For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared YHWH, And the king—what does he do for us?
4 Wọ́n ṣe ìlérí púpọ̀, wọ́n ṣe ìbúra èké, wọ́n da májẹ̀mú; báyìí ni ìdájọ́ hù sókè bí igi ìwọ̀ ni aporo oko, bi i koríko májèlé láàrín oko tí a ro.
They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb has judgment, on the furrows of a field.
5 Àwọn ènìyàn tí ń gbé Samaria bẹ̀rù nítorí ère abo màlúù tó wà ní Beti-Afeni. Àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀ le e lórí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àlùfáà abọ̀rìṣà rẹ̀. Gbogbo àwọn tó láyọ̀ sì dídán rẹ̀, nítorí tí a ti mú lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
For the inhabitants of Samaria fear the calves of Beth-Aven, Surely its people have mourned on account of it, And its priests leap about on account of it, Because of its glory, for it has removed from it,
6 A ó gbé lọ sí Asiria gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn fún ọba ńlá a ó dójútì Efraimu; ojú yóò ti Israẹli nítorí ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀.
Also, it is carried to Asshur, a present to a warlike king, Ephraim receives shame, And Israel is ashamed of its own counsel.
7 Bí igi tó léfòó lórí omi ni Samaria àti àwọn ọba rẹ yóò sàn lọ.
Samaria is cut off! Its king [is] as wrath on the face of the waters.
8 Àwọn ibi gíga tí ẹ tí ń hùwà búburú ni a o parun, èyí ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Israẹli. Ẹ̀gún ọ̀gàn àti ẹ̀gún òṣùṣú yóò hù jáde, yóò sì bo àwọn pẹpẹ wọn. Wọn yóò sọ fún àwọn òkè gíga pé, “Bò wá mọ́lẹ̀!” àti fún àwọn òkè kéékèèké pé, “Ṣubú lù wá!”
And high places of Aven have been destroyed, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall on us.
9 “Láti ìgbà Gibeah, ni ó ti ṣẹ̀, ìwọ Israẹli, ìwọ sì tún wà níbẹ̀. Ǹjẹ́ ogun kò lé ẹ̀yin aṣebi ni Gibeah bá bí?
From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Battle does not overtake them in Gibeah, Because of sons of perverseness.
10 Nígbà tó bá tẹ́ mi lọ́rùn, èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ wọ́n; Orílẹ̀-èdè yóò kó ra wọn jọ, wọ́n ó sì dojúkọ wọn, láti fi wọn sínú ìdè nítorí ìlọ́po ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
When I desire, then I bind them, And peoples have gathered against them, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
11 Efraimu jẹ́ ọmọ abo màlúù tí a tí kọ́, to si fẹ́ràn láti máa pa ọkà; lórí ọrun rẹ̀ tó lẹ́wà ni èmi ó dí ẹrù wúwo lé. Èmi yóò mú kí a gun Efraimu bí ẹṣin Juda yóò tú ilẹ̀, Jakọbu yóò sì fọ́ ògúlùtu rẹ̀.
And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer—loving to thresh, And I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Judah plows, Jacob harrows for him.
12 Ẹ gbin òdòdó fún ara yín, kí ẹ sì ká èso ìfẹ́ àìlópin. Ẹ tu ilẹ̀ yín tí a kò ro, nítorí pé ó ti tó àsìkò láti wá Olúwa, títí tí yóò fi dé, tí yóò sì rọ òjò òdodo lé yín lórí.
Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek YHWH, Until He comes and shows righteousness to you.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ tí gbin búburú ẹ si ka ibi, ẹ ti jẹ èso èké nítorí ẹ tí gbẹ́kẹ̀lé agbára yín àti àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ jagunjagun yín,
You have plowed wickedness, Perversity you have reaped, You have eaten the fruit of lying, For you have trusted in your way, In the abundance of your might.
14 ariwo ogun yóò bo àwọn ènìyàn yín kí gbogbo odi agbára yín ba le parun. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ṣalmani ṣe pa Beti-Arbeli run lọ́jọ́ ogun, nígbà tí a gbé àwọn ìyá ṣánlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ wọn.
And a tumult rises among your people, And all your fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
15 Báyìí ni a o sì ṣe sí ọ, ìwọ Beteli, nítorí pé ìwà búburú yín ti pọ̀jù. Ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́ ọjọ́ náà, a o pa ọba Israẹli run pátápátá.
Thus has Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn a king of Israel is utterly cut off!”
