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 bringeth forth fruit to himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
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 is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
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 shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to 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, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the 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.
The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven: for its people shall mourn over it, and its priests [that] rejoiced on it, for its glory, because it is departed 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.
It shall also be carried to Assyria, [for] a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 Bí igi tó léfòó lórí omi ni Samaria àti àwọn ọba rẹ yóò sàn lọ.
[As for] Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
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!”
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, 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?
O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
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.
[It is] in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
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 as] a heifer [that is] taught, [and] loveth to tread out [the corn]; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, [and] Jacob shall break his clods.
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 to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for [it is] time to seek the LORD, till he shall come and reign righteousness upon 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,
Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou hast trusted in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
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.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be plundered, as Shalman plundered Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon [her] children.
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.
So shall Beth-el do to you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.
