< Hosea 10 >

1 Mwet Israel elos oana ima in grape ma nwanala ke grape. Ke ma wo nu selos yokyokelik, na puseni loang elos musai uh. Ac ke fokin acn selos uh arulana kapak wo, na elos arulana akkatoye sru eot ma elos tulokunak in alu nu kac.
Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit. As his fruit increased, the more altars he built. As his land produced more, he improved his pillars.
2 Mwet kutasrik nunak la fah keokkin ma koluk lalos. God El ac kunausla loang lalos ac koteya sru in alyalu lalos.
Their heart is deceitful; now they must bear their guilt. Yahweh will demolish their altars; he will destroy their pillars.
3 Mwet inge ac sa na in fahk, “Wangin tokosra lasr mweyen kut tia sangeng sin LEUM GOD. Ac mwe meawin tokosra uh nu sesr?”
For then they will say, “We have no king, for we did not fear Yahweh, and a king—what could he do for us?”
4 Elos kaskas lusrongten, ac orek wulela kikiap, ac pwapa lalos wangin sripa. Nununku suwohs uh ekla sesuwos, ac yokyokelik oana mah pwasin in sie acn ma akoeyukla in yok.
They speak empty words and make covenants by swearing falsely. So justice springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
5 Mwet su muta in siti Samaria ac fah sangeng ac tung ke wanginla lun cow mukul gold Bethel. Elos ac mwet tol su kulansupu ma sruloala sac, fah mwemelil kac. Elos ac tungi ke mwe yun gold uh wanginla liki uh.
The inhabitants of Samaria will be afraid because of the calves of Beth Aven. Its people mourned over them, as did those idolatrous priests who had rejoiced over them and their splendor, but they are no longer there.
6 Ma sruloala sac fah utukla nu Assyria tuh in mwe takma nu sin tokosra fulat we. Ac fah pilesreyuk mwet Israel, ac elos fah arulana mwekin ke sripen kas in kasru ma elos ukwala.
They will be carried to Assyria as a present for the great king. Ephraim will be disgraced, and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.
7 Tokosra lalos ac fah utukla oana sie lesak pahtpat fin kof uh.
Samaria's king will be destroyed, like a chip of wood on the surface of the water.
8 Acn in alyalu ke inging in acn Aven, yen mwet Israel alu nu sin ma sruloala we, ac fah kunausyukla. Mah ac kokul ac fah kupoiya loang lalos we. Mwet uh ac fah wowoyak nu fineol uh ac fahk, “Wikinkutla!” ac nu fin tohktok uh, “Afinkutla!”
The high places of wickedness will be destroyed. This is the sin of Israel! Thorns and thistles will grow over their altars. The people will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
9 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Tukunna pacl mwet Israel elos orekma koluk in acn Gibeah me nwe inge, elos soenna tui in orekma koluk lainyu. Ke ma inge mweun ac fah sonolos pac in acn Gibeah.
“Israel, you have sinned since the days of Gibeah; there you have remained. Will not war overtake the sons of wrong in Gibeah?
10 Nga ac anwuk nu sin mwet koluk inge ac kalyaelos. Mutunfacl uh ac fah toeni lainulos, ac elos ac fah kaiyuk ke ma koluk puspis lalos.
When I desire it, I will discipline them. The nations will gather together against them and put them in bonds for their double iniquity.
11 “Sie pacl ah, Israel el tuh oana soko cow fusr ma akpahyeyuk wo, su lungsena futfut wheat. Tusruktu, nga sulela tari sik in likiya soko mwe utuk nu fin kwawa oasku lal, ac sang sucl in kifusul nu ke orekma upa. Nga oru Judah elan amakin mwe pukpuk, ac Israel amakin mwe kuhlkul.
Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh the grain, so I will put a yoke on her fair neck. I will put a yoke on Ephraim; Judah will plow; Jacob will pull the harrow by himself.
12 Na nga fahk, ‘Pukanak infohk sasu nu suwos sifacna, yukwiya suwoswos, ac kosrani mwe insewowo su tuku ke oaru lowos in alu nu sik. Pacl fal lowos in forma nu sik, ac nga LEUM GOD lowos fah tuku ac okoaot mwe insewowo nu fowos.’
Sow righteousness for yourselves, and reap the fruit of covenant faithfulness. Break up your unplowed ground, for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
13 Kowos tia oru ouinge, a kowos taknelik ma koluk ac kosrani fahko kac. Kowos kang fahko ke kas kikiap lowos. “Mweyen kowos lulalfongi ke chariot nutuwos, ac pusiyen solse lowos,
You have plowed wickedness; you reaped injustice. You have eaten the fruit of deception because you trusted in your plans and in your many soldiers.
14 mweun ac fah tuku nu yurin mwet lowos, ac pot ku lowos nukewa ac fah kunausyukla. Ac fah oana len lal Tokosra Shalman ke el kunausla siti lun Betharbel ke mweun uh, ac nina ac tulik natulos itungyuki misa.
So a tumult of war will rise among your people, and all your fortified cities will be destroyed. It will be as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel on a day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces with their children.
15 Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu suwos, mwet Bethel, ke sripen ma koluk yoklana lowos. Pacl se na mweun ac mutawauk uh, tokosra lun Israel ac fah misa.”
So it will happen to you, Bethel, because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be completely cut off.”
