Hosea 13

1 Kane Efraim owuoyo, to ji ne tetni, nodhiale e piny Israel. To notimo richo kuom lamo Baal, mi notho.

When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.

2 Koro gimedo timo richo, bende giloso nyisechegi mag fedha mondo gilam, ma gin kido molos gi rieko mangʼeny, magi duto gin tich jopa bepe. Wachore kuom jogi niya, “Gitimo misango gi dhano, kendo ginyodho kido molos mar nyaroya.”

And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, according to their own understanding, even idols, all of them the work of the craftsmen; of them they say: 'They that sacrifice men kiss calves.'

3 Emomiyo ginichal mana kaka ongʼwengʼo mokinyi, bende kaka thoo mar okinyi malal nono ka nyango owuok, bende kaka mihudhwe ma yamo keyo kar dino, bende kaka iro mawuok e dirisa.

Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the wind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the window.

4 “To An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mane ogolou ua e piny Misri. Ok unyal yango Nyasaye moro amora ma ok An, onge Jawar machielo makmana An.

Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou knowest no God but Me, and beside Me there is no saviour.

5 Ne aritou e piny motwo, maliel ka mach.

I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

6 Kane apidhogi ne giyiengʼ chuth; kane giseyiengʼ to sunga nomakogi; ma wigi owil koda.

When they were fed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten Me.

7 Omiyo anabi irgi ka sibuor, kendo ka kwach abiro buto negi e bath yo.

Therefore am I become unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;

8 Anamonjgi mi ayiechgi matindo tindo mana ka ondiek ma omaa nyithinde. Anatiekgi mana ka sibuor, bende le mag bungu noyiechgi matindo tindo.

I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the enclosure of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.

9 “Osetieku yaye Israel, nikech ok udwara, ok udwar jakonyu.

It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against Me, against thy help.

10 Ere ruodhu mondo koro oresu? Ere jotendu e miechu, mane usekwayo ni, ‘Miwa ruodh kod jotendwa?’

Ho, now, thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities! and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: 'Give me a king and princes!'

11 Kuom ich wangʼ mare ne amiyou ruoth kendo e mirimba ne agole oko.

I give thee a king in Mine anger, and take him away in My wrath.

12 Timbe mamono mag Efraim osekan, kendo richoge osendik e kitabu.

The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.

13 Rem machalo gi mar dhako mamuoch kayo nobine, to en nyathi maonge gi rieko, ma ka sa ochopo monego owuog e ich to okia kama iwuok godo.

The throes of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children.

14 “Abiro resogi kuom teko mar piny joma otho kendo anakonygi kuom tho. In tho, ere masicheni duto, kata in piny joma otho, ere kethruokni? “Ok anakeche, (Sheol h7585)

Shall I ransom them from the power of the nether-world? Shall I redeem them from death? Ho, thy plagues, O death! Ho, thy destruction, O nether-world! Repentance be hid from Mine eyes! (Sheol h7585)

15 kata ka obedo ni odhi maber kamano e kind owetene. Yamb yor wuok chiengʼ moa ir Jehova Nyasaye nobi, kakudho koa e piny motwo, ma pigene mag sokni mamol nodwon, kod yewni mokuny bende nodwon. Mwandune manie dechege noyaki duto.

For though he be fruitful among the reed-plants, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up; he shall spoil the treasure of all precious vessels.

16 Jo-Samaria nokum kuom richogi nikech gisengʼanyo ne Nyasachgi. Noneg-gi gi ligangla; nyithindgi matindo nochwad piny, to mondgi mapek nobar iyegi.”

Samaria shall bear her guilt, for she hath rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
