< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel is a leafy vine, its fruit has been suitable to him. According to the multitude of his fruit, he has multiplied altars; according to the fertility of his land, he has abounded with graven images.
Israel ne en mzabibu malandore; ne onyago olembene owuon. Ka olembene ne medore, nomedo gero kende mag misango; kendo ka pinye ne medo mewo, to nomedo loso kido milamo.
2 His heart has been divided, so now they will cross the divide. He will break apart their images; he will plunder their sanctuaries.
Chunygi opongʼ gi miriambo kendo koro nyaka gitingʼ mana kum marom kodgi. Jehova Nyasaye nomuk kendegi mag misango kendo kitegi ma gilamo bende nokethi.
3 For now they will say, “We have no king. For we do not fear the Lord. And what would a king do for us?”
Eka giniwachi, “Waonge ruoth nikech watamore miyo Jehova Nyasaye luor. To kata kane wan gi ruoth, to dotimonwa angʼo?”
4 You speak words about a useless vision, and you will strike a deal. And judgment will spring up like bitterness in the furrows of the field.
Githoro wacho weche manono ka gikwongʼore gi miriambo, kendo giloso winjruok ma ok nyal konyogi; emomiyo buche mag larruok medore mana ka buya malandore e puothe mosepur.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria have worshipped the calf of Bethaven. For the keepers of its temple, who had exulted over it in its glory, and its people, have mourned over it because it migrated from there.
Ji modak Samaria luoro osemako nikech nyaroya molos gi dhahabu mar Beth Aven. Joge noywage, kamano bende e kaka jodologe malamo nyiseche manono noywage, mago mosebedo gi mor kuom berne nikech osegole kuomgi kitere e twech.
6 If, indeed, it also has been offered to Assur, as a gift for the Avenging king, confusion will seize Ephraim, and Israel will be confounded by his own will.
Enotingʼe kitere Asuria kaka mich ne ruoth maduongʼ. Efraim noma duongʼne to Israel nokuod wiye nikech nyisechene molos gi bao.
7 Samaria has required her king to pass by, like foam on the face of the water.
Samaria kod ruodhige nolew gi malo mana ka bad yien malewo gi malo ewi pi.
8 And the heights of the idol, the sin of Israel, will be utterly destroyed. The burr and the thistle will rise up over their altars. And they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us,’ and to the hills, ‘Fall on us.’
Kuonde motingʼore malo mag anjawo nokethi, en emomiyo jo-Israel timo richo. Kuthe kod buya ema biro dongo maim kendegi mag misango. Eka giniwach ne gode madongo niya, “Umwauru!” Kendo ne gode matindo niya, “Rwombreuru kuomwa!”
9 From the days of Gibeah, Israel has sinned; in this, they remained firm. The battle in Gibeah against the sons of iniquity will not take hold of them.
“Nyaka aa ndalo mar Gibea, isebedo ka itimo richo, yaye Israel, to kanyo ema isesike. Donge lweny notieko jotim richo man Gibea?
10 According to my desire, I will correct them. And the peoples will be gathered together over them, while they are chastised for their two iniquities.
Ka ahero to abiro kumogi; ogendini nonywaknegi, maketgi e twech kuom richogi duto.
11 Ephraim is a heifer that has been taught to love treading out the grain, but I passed over the beauty of her neck. I will rise over Ephraim. Judah will plough; Jacob will break up the soil for himself.
Efraim en nyaroya mobo mohero dino cham; omiyo anatwe jok e ngʼute maberno. Anariemb Efraim, to Juda nyaka pur, kendo Jakobo biro baro lowo.
12 Sow for yourselves in justice, and harvest in the mouth of mercy; renew your fallow land. But the time when you will seek the Lord is the time when he will arrive who will teach you justice.
Chwouru adiera ne un uwegi, kaa-uru olemo mar hera ma ok rum, kendo baruru lopu mapok opur, nimar en kinde mar manyo Jehova Nyasaye, nyaka chop ool tim makare kuomu.
13 You have ploughed impiety; you have harvested iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies. For you had confidence in your ways, in the multitude of your good fortunes.
To nikech usechwoyo anjawo, usekayo timbe maricho, kendo usechamo olemb miriambo. Nikech usegeno kuom tekou uwegi kendo kuom jolwenju mangʼeny,
14 A tumult will arise among your people. And all your fortifications will be laid waste, just as Salman was destroyed by the house of him that judged Baal on the day of the battle, the mother having been crushed against her sons.
kuom mano koko mar lweny biro monjo jou, ma mi kuondeu mochiel motegno nomuki, mana kaka Shalman nomuko Beth Arbel e odiechieng lweny, kama mine kod nyithindgi nodhir mopodho.
15 So has Bethel done to you, before the face of your malicious wickedness.
Ma e kaka notimre ne un bende, yaye Bethel, nikech anjawo maru duongʼ. Ka odiechiengno ochopo, ruodh Israel notiek chuth.”
