< Hosea 9 >

1 [You people of] Israel, do not shout joyfully [during your festivals] like [people of other] nations do! [I say that] because you have (not been faithful to/abandoned) me, your God. At every place where the people thresh grain you have [presented gifts to your idols like men] pay money to prostitutes.
Saankayo nga agrag-o, Israel, a kas iti rag-o dagiti dadduma a tattao. Ta nagbalinkayo a saan a napudno, binaybay-anyo ti Diosyo. Pagay-ayatyo a bayadan ti tangdan a kasapulan ti balangkantis kadagiti pagirikan.
2 [But soon] there will not be enough grain [MTY, PRS] and wine [MTY, PRS] for you.
Ngem saan ida a mapakan ti pagirikan ken ti pagpespesan ti arak; upayento isuna ti baro nga arak.
3 And you people will not remain in the land that I, Yahweh, [gave to your ancestors]. You will be [captured and] taken to [Assyria], [where you will become slaves like your ancestors were] in Egypt; and in Assyria you will be forced to eat food that Yahweh has forbidden you to eat.
Saandanto nga agtultuloy nga agnaed iti daga ni Yahweh; ngem ketdi, agsublinto ti Efraim idiay Egipto, ket maysa nga aldaw, mangandanto iti maiparit a taraon idiay Asiria.
4 You Israelis will not [be able to] give wine offerings to him, or bring sacrifices to him. None of your other sacrifices will please him; they will be unacceptable to him, like [SIM] food that is touched by people at funerals, and everyone who eats that food will become unacceptable to him. They will be permitted to eat that food themselves, but they will not [be permitted to] bring it into the temple.
Awanton ti maibukbokda a daton nga arak kenni Yahweh, ket saandan a makaay-ayo kenkuana. Maiyarigto dagiti datonda iti taraon dagiti agladladingit a nagminatay: matulawanto dagiti amin a mangan iti daytoy. Ta para laeng kadakuada dagiti taraonda; saanto a maipan iti balay ni Yahweh.
5 At that time you will not [RHQ] be able to celebrate the feasts and sacred festivals.
Anianto ti aramidenyo iti aldaw ti maysa a naituding a fiesta, iti aldaw ti fiesta para kenni Yahweh?
6 And even if you escape and are not killed [by the Assyrians], you will be captured by [the army of] Egypt, and you will [die and] be buried in Memphis, [the capital of Egypt]. Briers will [grow up and] cover your treasures of silver, and thorns will grow in your [ruined] tents/houses.
Ta kitaenyo, no itarayanda ti pannakadadael, ummongento ida ti Egipto ket itanemto ida ti Memfis. Dagiti gamengda a pirak— makumotanto dagitoy kadagiti sisiitan ken mapnonto iti sisiit dagiti toldada.
7 It is now the time for Yahweh to punish you, to pay you back for all the sins that you have committed. You people will [soon] know that. You have [committed] very many sins, and you very much hate Yahweh. You consider that the prophets are foolish, and you think that those who proclaim messages from him are crazy.
Umadanin dagiti aldaw ti pannakadusa; umadanin dagiti aldaw ti panagsagaba. Maammoan koma amin iti Israel dagitoy a banbanag. Ti profeta ket maysa a maag, ken ti napabileg a tao ket agmauyong, gapu iti nadagsen a basolyo ken dakkel a gurayo.
8 My God appointed [me and the other] prophets to be [like] [MET] watchmen [to warn] you people of Israel, but everywhere that we go, [it is as though] people set traps for us and people are hostile [to us, even] in the temple of our God.
Ti profeta a kadua iti Diosko ket isu ti agbanbantay iti Efraim, ngem ti pangsilo iti billit ket adda iti amin a dalanna, ken ti pananggurada kenkuana ket adda iti balay ti Diosna.
9 The sins that the Israeli people have committed are as awful as [what the men of] Gibeah did long ago; [so] God will not forget the wicked things that they have done; he will punish the Israelis for [all] those sins.
Rinugitanda unay dagiti bagbagida a kas kadagiti aldaw ti Gabaa. Lagipento ti Dios dagiti kinadakesda ket dusaennanto dagiti basbasolda.
10 [Yahweh says], “When I first started [to do things to help] Israel, it seemed to me as though [SIM] I had found grapes in the desert. Your ancestors were [delightful], like [SIM] the first figs that grow on fig trees [each year]. But when they came to Peor [Mountain], they worshiped that disgusting idol Baal, and they became as disgusting as the idol that they loved.
Kuna ni Yahweh, “Idi nasarakak ti Israel, kasla agbirbirokak kadagiti ubas iti let-ang. Kas iti umuna a bunga iti tiempo ti kayo nga igos, nasarakak dagiti ammayo. Ngem napanda idiay Baal Peor, ket impaayda dagiti bagbagida iti dayta a nakababain a didiosen. Nagbalinda a makarimon a kas iti didiosen nga inayatda.
11 The things that cause Israel to be great will disappear like [SIM] a bird that flies away; [most of their women will] not become pregnant [DOU] or give birth to children.
No maipapan iti Efraim, tumayabto ti dayagda a kas iti billit. Awanton ti panagpasngay, awanton ti panagsikog ken awanton ti panagnginaw.
12 Even if their children are born and start to grow up, I will cause all of them to die [while they are still young]. Terrible things will happen to them when I abandon them!
Uray no nagpadakkelda kadagiti annak, alaekto ida tapno awan ti mabati kadakuada. Asida pay inton umadayoak kadakuada!
13 I have seen Israel become beautiful and prosperous like Tyre [city] was [before it was destroyed], but now the people of Israel will [be forced to] take their children to be slaughtered [by their enemies].”
Nakitak ti Efraim, a kas iti Tiro, naimula iti tanap ngem ipanto ti Efraim dagiti annakna iti maysa a tao a mangpapatay kadakuada.”
14 Yahweh, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should ask for my people. So I ask that you do this one thing: Cause the women who are pregnant to have miscarriages and unable [to nurse their babies].
Itedmo kadakuada, O Yahweh— ania ti itedmo kadakuada? Ikkam ida iti maal-alisan nga aanakan ken kadagiti suso nga awan tubbogna.
15 [Yahweh says], “Because of all the wicked things that my people did at Gilgal, that is where I started to hate them. [And now], because of [all] the sinful things that they have done, I will expel them from my country. I will not love them any longer; all their leaders rebel [against me].
“Gapu kadagiti amin a kinadangkesda idiay Gilgal, sadiay a rinuggiak a ginura ida. Gapu kadagiti nakadakdakes nga aramidda, papanawekto ida iti balayko. Saankonton ida nga ayaten; rebelde dagiti amin nga opisialda.
16 Israel is like [MET] a grapevine that is dried up; [like a vine] [MET] whose roots are withered and that produces no fruit. Even if the [women of Israel] give birth to [more] children, I will cause those children, whom they love, to die.
Natungro ti Efraim; nagango dagiti ramutda; saanda nga agbunga. Uray no addaanda kadagiti annak, papatayekto dagiti ipatpategda nga annak.”
17 The people of Israel have not obeyed me, their God, so I will reject them. [As a result], they will wander among the [other] nations, [searching for a place to live].”
Laksidento ida ti Diosko gapu ta saanda a nagtulnog kenkuana. Agalla-alladanto kadagiti nasion.
