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.
“Do not rejoice, O Israel, do not be joyful like the peoples, For you have gone whoring from your God, You have loved a wage near all floors of grain.
2 Àwọn ilẹ̀ ìpakà àti ilé ìfun wáìnì kò ní fún àwọn ènìyàn lóúnjẹ wáìnì tuntun yóò tàn láìròtẹ́lẹ̀.
Floor and winepress do not feed them, And new wine fails in her,
3 Wọn kò ní ṣẹ́kù sí ilé Olúwa Efraimu yóò padà sí Ejibiti, yóò sì jẹ oúnjẹ àìmọ́ ní Asiria.
They do not abide in the land of YHWH, And Ephraim has turned back [to] Egypt, And they eat an unclean thing in Asshur.
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 do not pour out wine to YHWH, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It does not come into the house of YHWH.
5 Kí ni ẹ̀yin ó ṣe ní ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún tí a yàn ní àwọn ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún Olúwa?
What do you do at the day appointed? And at the day of YHWH’s festival?
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 have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathers them, Moph buries them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them—a thorn [is] in their tents.
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 inspection have come in, The days of repayment have come in, Israel knows! The prophet [is] a fool, Mad [is] the man of the spirit, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.
8 Wòlíì, papọ̀ pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run, ni olùṣọ́ ọ Efraimu. Síbẹ̀ ìdẹ̀kùn dúró dè é ní gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀ àti ìkórìíra ní ilé Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! A snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [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 gone deep—have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He remembers their iniquity, He inspects their sins.
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.
As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They have gone in [to] Ba‘al-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And have become abominable like their love.
11 Ògo Efraimu yóò fò lọ bí ẹyẹ kò ní sí ìfẹ́rakù, ìlóyún àti ìbímọ.
Ephraim [is] as a bird, their glory flies away, without birth, and without womb, and without 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!
For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless—without man, Surely also, woe to them when I turn aside 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! When I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out his sons to a slayer.
14 Fún wọn, Olúwa! Kí ni ìwọ yóò fún wọn? Fún wọn ní inú tí ń ba oyún jẹ́ àti ọyàn gbígbẹ.
Give to them, YHWH—what do You give? Give to them miscarrying womb, 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 evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I drive them, I no longer love them, All their heads [are] apostates.
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 has been struck, Their root has dried up, they do not yield fruit, Indeed, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired 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 rejects them, Because they have not listened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!”
