Hosea 9
1 Má ṣe yọ̀, ìwọ Israẹli; má ṣe hó ìhó ayọ̀ bí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yòókù. Nítorí ẹ ti jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́ si Ọlọ́run yín. Ẹ fẹ́ràn láti gba owó iṣẹ́ àgbèrè ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ ìpakà.
Rejoice not, O Israel: rejoice not as the nations do: for thou hast committed fornication against thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
2 Àwọn ilẹ̀ ìpakà àti ilé ìfun wáìnì kò ní fún àwọn ènìyàn lóúnjẹ wáìnì tuntun yóò tàn láìròtẹ́lẹ̀.
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the wine shall deceive them.
3 Wọn kò ní ṣẹ́kù sí ilé Olúwa Efraimu yóò padà sí Ejibiti, yóò sì jẹ oúnjẹ àìmọ́ ní Asiria.
They shall not dwell in the Lord’s land: Ephraim is returned to Egypt, and hath eaten unclean things among the Assyrians.
4 Wọn kò ní fi ọrẹ ohun mímu fún Olúwa. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìrúbọ wọn kò ní mú, inú rẹ̀ dùn. Ìrú ẹbọ bẹ́ẹ̀ yóò dàbí oúnjẹ àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀. Gbogbo àwọn tó bá sì jẹ ẹ́ yóò di aláìmọ́. Oúnjẹ yìí yóò wà fún wọn fúnra wọn kò ní wá sí orí tẹmpili Olúwa.
They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall they please him: their sacrifices shall be like the bread of mourners: all that shall eat it shall be defiled: for their bread is life for their soul, it shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
5 Kí ni ẹ̀yin ó ṣe ní ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún tí a yàn ní àwọn ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún Olúwa?
What will you do in the solemn day, in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ yọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìparun Ejibiti yóò kó wọn jọ, Memfisi yóò sì sin wọ́n. Ibi ìsọjọ̀ fàdákà wọn ni ẹ̀gún yóò jogún, Ẹ̀gún yóò bo àpótí ìṣúra fàdákà wọn. Ẹ̀gún yóò sì bo gbogbo àgọ́ wọn.
For behold they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them together, Memphis shall bury them: nettles shall inherit their beloved silver, the bur shall be in their tabernacles.
7 Àwọn ọjọ́ ìjìyà ń bọ̀; àwọn ọjọ́ ìṣirò iṣẹ́ ti dé. Jẹ́ kí Israẹli mọ èyí. Nítorí pé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín pọ̀ ìkórìíra yín sì pọ̀ gan an ni. A ka àwọn wòlíì sí òmùgọ̀, a ka ẹni ìmísí sí asínwín.
The days of visitation are come, the days of repaying are come: know ye, O Israel, that the prophet was foolish, the spiritual man was mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the multitude of thy madness.
8 Wòlíì, papọ̀ pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run, ni olùṣọ́ ọ Efraimu. Síbẹ̀ ìdẹ̀kùn dúró dè é ní gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀ àti ìkórìíra ní ilé Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: the prophet is become a snare of ruin upon all his ways, madness is in the house of his God.
9 Wọ́n ti gbilẹ̀ nínú ìwà ìbàjẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ọjọ́ Gibeah Ọlọ́run yóò rántí ìwà búburú wọn yóò sì jẹ wọ́n ní yà fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
They have sinned deeply, as in the days of Gabaa: he will remember their iniquity, and will visit their sin.
10 “Mo rí Israẹli bí èso àjàrà ní aginjù. Mo rí àwọn baba yín, bí àkọ́pọ́n nínú igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ ní àkọ́so rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n tọ Baali-Peori lọ, wọ́n yà wọn sọ́tọ̀ fún òrìṣà tó ń mú ìtìjú bá ni, ohun ìríra wọn sì rí gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọn ti fẹ́.
I found Israel like grapes in the desert, I saw their fathers like the firstfruits of the fig tree in the top thereof: but they went in to Beelphegor, and alienated themselves to that confusion, and became abominable, as those things were, which they loved.
11 Ògo Efraimu yóò fò lọ bí ẹyẹ kò ní sí ìfẹ́rakù, ìlóyún àti ìbímọ.
As for Ephraim, their glory hath flown away like a bird from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ tọ́ ọmọ dàgbà. Èmi yóò mú wọn ṣọ̀fọ̀ lórí gbogbo wọn. Ègbé ni fún wọn, nígbà tí mo yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn!
And though they should bring up their children, I will make them without children among men: yea, and woe to them, when I shall depart from them.
13 Mo rí Efraimu bí ìlú Tire tí a tẹ̀dó sí ibi dáradára ṣùgbọ́n Efraimu yóò kó àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ jáde fún àwọn apànìyàn.”
Ephraim, as I saw, was a Tyre founded in beauty: and Ephraim shall bring out his children to the murderer.
14 Fún wọn, Olúwa! Kí ni ìwọ yóò fún wọn? Fún wọn ní inú tí ń ba oyún jẹ́ àti ọyàn gbígbẹ.
Give them, O Lord. What wilt thou give them? Give them a womb without children, and dry breasts.
15 “Nítorí gbogbo ìwà búburú tí wọ́n hù ní Gilgali, Mo kórìíra wọn níbẹ̀, nítorí ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Èmi yóò lé wọn jáde ní ilé mi, Èmi kò ní ní ìfẹ́ wọn mọ́ ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ni gbogbo olórí wọn.
All their wickedness is in Galgal, for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their devices I will cast them forth out of my house: I will love them no more, all their princes are revolters.
16 Efraimu ti rẹ̀ dànù gbogbo rẹ̀ sì ti rọ, kò sì so èso. Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ bímọ. Èmi ó pa àwọn ọmọ wọn tí wọ́n fẹ́ràn jùlọ.”
Ephraim is struck, their root is dried up, they shall yield no fruit. And if they should have issue, I will slay the best beloved fruit of their womb.
17 Ọlọ́run mi yóò kọ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀ nítorí pé wọn kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí i; wọn yóò sì di alárìnkiri láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
My God will cast them away, because they hearkened not to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
