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, Exult not, like the nations! For thou committest fornication, forsaking thy God! Thou lovest hire on every corn-floor.
2 Àwọn ilẹ̀ ìpakà àti ilé ìfun wáìnì kò ní fún àwọn ènìyàn lóúnjẹ wáìnì tuntun yóò tàn láìròtẹ́lẹ̀.
The floor and the vat shall not feed them, And the new 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 land of Jehovah; To Egypt shall Ephraim go back, And eat unclean things in Assyria.
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 pour out no offerings of wine to Jehovah, Nor shall their sacrifices please him; They shall be to them as the bread of mourners; All that eat thereof shall be polluted. Their bread shall be for their own hunger; It shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
5 Kí ni ẹ̀yin ó ṣe ní ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún tí a yàn ní àwọn ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún Olúwa?
What will ye do in the festal day, In the day of the feast of Jehovah?
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 go forth from a wasted land; Egypt shall gather them; Memphis shall bury them; The precious places of their silver, Nettles shall possess them; Thorns shall spring up in their habitations.
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 retribution are come— Israel shall know that the prophet was foolish, That the man of the spirit was mad— For the greatness of` thy iniquity, and thy great 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.
If Ephraim seek an answer from my God, The prophet is as the snare of the fowler in all his ways, A net 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 deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity; He will requite 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.
I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; As the early fruit on the fig-tree, at its first time of bearing, I saw your fathers. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to shame, And had abominable idols according to their love.
11 Ògo Efraimu yóò fò lọ bí ẹyẹ kò ní sí ìfẹ́rakù, ìlóyún àti ìbímọ.
The glory of Ephraim shall fly away as a bird; They shall not bring forth, nor bear in the womb, nor conceive;
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!
Yea, if they bring up children, I will utterly bereave them; Yea, woe to them when I 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.”
I have seen Ephraim planted, like Tyre, in a rich pasture, Yet shall Ephraim 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 Jehovah! What wilt thou give them? Give them a 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 wickedness is in Gilgal; Yea, there have I hated them for the wickedness of their doings; I will drive them from 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 smitten; Their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit; Yea, though they should beget children, I will destroy the beloved fruit of the 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 shall cast them away, Because they have not hearkened to him, And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
