< Hosea 4 >

1 Hear the word of Yahweh, ye sons of Israel, —that, a controversy, hath Yahweh with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no faithfulness, nor lovingkindness, nor knowledge of God, in the land:
Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu Isala: ili soge ganodini esala, ilima diwaneya udidisa. Isala: ili fi! Ea sia: nabima! E da amane sia: sa, “Noga: i fa: no bobogesu hou amola asigi hou da Isala: ili soge ganodini hamedafa gala. Amola Na fi dunu da Na da Godedafa hame sia: sa.
2 Cursing and lying, and killing and stealing, and committing adultery, have broken forth, and, blood-shedding, unto blood-shedding, doth extend.
Ilia da sia: dafawane ilegei amo giadofasa. Ilia da ogogosa amola fane legesa amola wamolasa amola inia uda adole laha. Wadela: i hou da bagade heda: sa amola ilia da fane legesu hou mae fisili hamonana.
3 For this cause, shall the land mourn, and everyone who dwelleth therein shall languish, with the wild beast of the field and with the bird of the heavens, —moreover also, the fishes of the sea, shall be withdrawn.
Amaiba: le, ilia soge da hafoga: i hamoi dagoi ba: mu amola liligi huluane amogawi esalebe da bogogia: i dagoi ba: mu. Ohe huluane amola sio amola menabo huluanedafa da bogogia: i dagoi ba: mu.”
4 Howbeit let, no man, contend, nor let him rebuke another, —since, thy people, are as they who contend against a priest:
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunudafa ilima mae diwaneya udidima amola gagabole mae sia: ma: ma! Na da dili gobele salasu dunu dilima fawane egane sia: sa.
5 So shouldst thou stumble in the daytime, and even the prophet stumble with thee, in the night, —and I should destroy thine own mother.
Esohaga amola gasia dilia da udigili gagaoui agoane hawa: hamonana amola balofede dunu da dili defele hamosa. Na da dilia ame Isala: ili amo wadela: lesimu.
6 My people, are destroyed, for lack of knowledge, —Because, thou, hast rejected knowledge, therefore will I reject thee from ministering as priest unto me, and, because thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also, will forget thy children.
Na fi dunu da Nama Na da Godedafa hame sia: beba: le, ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Dilia gobele salasu dunu da Nama Na da Godedafa hame sia: sa amola Na olelesu hame naba. Amaiba: le, Na da dilia gofelalia Nama gobele salasu hamoma: ne hame ilegemu.
7 As they were magnified, so, they sinned against me, —My glory—for what was contemptible, did they exchange.
Dilia gobele salasu dunu idi da heda: sea, dilia Nama wadela: i hou hamobe da amo defele heda: sa. Amaiba: le, Na da wali dunu da dilima nodosu hou hamosa amo afadenene, ilia dilima higamu, amola dilia da gogosiamu.
8 The sin of my people, they do eat, —and. unto their iniquity, lift they up every man his desire.
Na fi dunu da wadela: le hamobeba: le, dilia da bagade gaguiwane ba: sa. Amaiba: le, dilia da ili baligiliwane wadela: i hou hamoma: ne, dilia da hanai.
9 So doth it come to be—like people, like priest, —therefore will I visit upon him his ways, and, his doings, will I bring back to him;
Dilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia se nabasu defele lamu. Na da dilima se imunu. Amola dilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, dilima dabemu.
10 And they shall eat, and not be satisfied, they have encouraged unchastity, yet have not been making increase, —for unto, Yahweh, have they left off giving heed: —
Dilia da gobele salasu amoga dilia la: idi amo nanu, bu ha: i ba: mu. Dilia da mano lasu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadomu, be dilia da mano hame lamu. Bai dilia da Nama baligi fa: le, eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima fa: no bobogelala.”
11 Unchastity, and wine, and new wine, take away the heart.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu da waini hano yaolo amola gaheabolo bagade nabeba: le, gagaoui agoane hamosa.
12 My people, of their Wood, do ask, —Let, their Staff, then tell them, —for, the spirit of unchastity, hath led them astray, and they have unchastely departed from under their God.
Ilia da udigili ifa amoga hobea misunu hou adole ba: sa. Ifa da ilia dawa: mu hanai liligi ilima adole iaha. Ilia da Na yolesi dagoi. Uda amo da hina: da: i bidi lasu defele, ilila: da: i ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima i dagoi.
13 On the headlands of the mountains, they sacrifice, and, on the hills, burn they incense, under oak and poplar and terebinth, because, pleasant, is the shade thereof: For this cause, do your daughters, become unchaste, and, your brides, commit adultery.
Ilia goumi da: iya sema sogebi amoga gobele salasu hou hamonana amola agolo da: iya ifa sedade amomodai haguduga gabusiga: manoma gobesisa. Bai amo ifa ilia ougiha: i da hisi noga: idafa. Amo hamobeba: le, didiwilali da hina: da: i bidi lasu uda agoane hawa: hamonana, amola dilia nawi ilia da inia dunu adole lasu hou hamosa.
14 I do not bring punishment upon your daughters when they become unchaste, nor upon your brides, when they commit adultery, for, the men themselves, with unchaste women, do seclude themselves, and, with the common women of the shrine, do offer sacrifice, —and, a people who will not discern, must be ruined.
Be amo hamobeba: le, Na da ilima se hame imunu. Bai dilisu amola da sia: ne gadosu diasu hina: da: i bidi lasu uda amola gilisili lalala amola ili gilisili, hame lalegagui dunu defele, ogogosu gobele salasu hou hamonana. Musa: malasu defele, ‘Dunu fi da asigi dawa: su hame galea, ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.’
15 Though unchaste art thou, O Israel, let not Judah, become guilty, neither let them enter Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, and [then] swear, By the life of Yahweh!
Dilia Isala: ili fi dunu da Nama baligi fa: i dagoi. Be Yuda fi dunu da amo defele hamomu da defea hame. Dilia Giliga: le o Bedele amoma nodone sia: ne gadosu hou mae hamoma. Amola amogawi, Esalalalusu Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le, dafawane ilegele sia: mae sia: ma.
16 For, as a heifer that is stubborn, hath Israel, been stubborn, —Now, can Yahweh, turn them out to pasture, like a young ram in a wide place?
Isala: ili dunu da ‘miule’ (dougi agoai) amo ilia gawamaga: i hou defele gala. Dunu da gisi noga: i sogega sibi mano ilima ha: i nasu iaha. Be Na da habodane amo defele, Isala: ili dunuma ha: i manudafa ima: bela: ?
17 Mated with idols, is Ephraim, let him alone.
Isala: ili dunu da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amo ilia gasaga gagulaligi dagoi. Defea! Ilisu ilia logo fodoi amoga masa: ne yolesima!
18 Their drinking-bout, having passed, —they became, unchaste, they loved wildly, a contempt, became her great men.
Ilia waini hano bagade nalu, hahawane hina: da: i bidi lasu hou defele hamonana. Ilia da ilima nodosu hou mae dawa: le, gogosiasu fawane hanai gala.
19 The wind hath bound her up in its wings, —that they may be ashamed, because of their sacrifices.
Ilia da foga mini masunu agoai ba: mu. Amola ilia da hame lalegagui ogogosu gobele salasu hou hamobeba: le, gogosiamu.”
