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.
Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
2 Àwọn ilẹ̀ ìpakà àti ilé ìfun wáìnì kò ní fún àwọn ènìyàn lóúnjẹ wáìnì tuntun yóò tàn láìròtẹ́lẹ̀.
The threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them, and the new wine will fail her.
3 Wọn kò ní ṣẹ́kù sí ilé Olúwa Efraimu yóò padà sí Ejibiti, yóò sì jẹ oúnjẹ àìmọ́ ní Asiria.
They won’t dwell in the LORD’s land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food 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 won’t pour out wine offerings to the LORD, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the LORD’s house.
5 Kí ni ẹ̀yin ó ṣe ní ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún tí a yàn ní àwọn ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún Olúwa?
What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and 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, when they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be 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 visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.
8 Wòlíì, papọ̀ pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run, ni olùṣọ́ ọ Efraimu. Síbẹ̀ ìdẹ̀kùn dúró dè é ní gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀ àti ìkórìíra ní ilé Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths, and hostility 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 punish them for 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 like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
11 Ògo Efraimu yóò fò lọ bí ẹyẹ kò ní sí ìfẹ́rakù, ìlóyún àti ìbímọ.
As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, no one with child, and no 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!
Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also 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, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will 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—LORD what will you give? 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; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds, I will drive them out of my house! I will love them no more. All their princes are rebels.
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 has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones 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 didn’t listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
