Hosea 4 - Listen Online

¹ Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ Oluwa, ẹnyin ọmọ Israeli; nitori Oluwa ni ẹjọ kan ba awọn ara ilẹ na wi, nitoriti kò si otitọ, tabi ãnu, tabi ìmọ Ọlọrun ni ilẹ na.

¹ Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

² Nipa ibura, ati eke, ati ipani, ati olè, ati iṣe panṣaga, nwọn gbìjà, ẹ̀jẹ si nkàn ẹ̀jẹ.

² By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

³ Nitorina ni ilẹ na yio ṣe ṣọ̀fọ, ati olukuluku ẹniti ngbé inu rẹ̀ yio rọ, pẹlu awọn ẹranko igbẹ, ati pẹlu awọn ẹiyẹ oju ọrun; a o si mu awọn ẹja inu okun kuro pẹlu.

³ Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

⁴ Ṣugbọn má jẹ ki ẹnikẹni ki o jà, tabi ki o ba ẹnikeji rẹ̀ wi: nitori awọn enia rẹ dabi awọn ti mba alufa jà.

⁴ Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

⁵ Iwọ o si ṣubu li ọ̀san, woli yio si ṣubu pẹlu rẹ li alẹ, emi o si ké iya rẹ kuro.

⁵ Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

⁶ A ké awọn enia mi kuro nitori aini ìmọ: nitori iwọ ti kọ̀ ìmọ silẹ, emi o si kọ̀ ọ, ti iwọ kì yio ṣe alufa mi mọ: niwọ̀n bi iwọ ti gbagbe ofin Ọlọrun rẹ, emi pẹlu o gbagbe awọn ọmọ rẹ.

⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

⁷ Bi a ti mu wọn pọ̀ si i to, bẹ̃ na ni nwọn si dẹ̀ṣẹ si mi to: nitorina emi o yi ogo wọn padà si itìju.

⁷ As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

⁸ Nwọn jẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ awọn enia mi, nwọn si gbe ọkàn wọn si aiṣedẽde wọn.

⁸ They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

⁹ Yio si ṣe, gẹgẹ bi enia, bẹ̃li alufa: emi o si bẹ̀ wọn wò nitori ọ̀na wọn, emi o si san èrè iṣẹ wọn padà fun wọn.

⁹ And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

¹⁰ Nwọn o si jẹ, nwọn kì o si yó: nwọn o ṣe agbère, nwọn kì o si rẹ̀: nitori nwọn ti fi ati-kiyesi Oluwa silẹ.

¹⁰ For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

¹¹ Agbère ati ọti-waini, ati ọti-waini titun a ma gbà enia li ọkàn.

¹¹ Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.

¹² Awọn enia mi mbère ìmọ lọwọ igi wọn, ọpá wọn si nfi hàn fun wọn: nitori ẹmi agbère ti mu wọn ṣìna, nwọn si ti ṣe agbère lọ kuro labẹ Ọlọrun wọn.

¹² My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

¹³ Nwọn rubọ lori awọn oke-nla, nwọn si sun turari lori awọn oke kékèké, labẹ igi oaku ati igi poplari ati igi ẹlmu, nitoriti ojìji wọn dara: nitorina awọn ọmọbinrin nyin yio ṣe agbère, ati awọn afẹ́sọnà nyin yio ṣe panṣagà.

¹³ They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

¹⁴ Emi kì yio ba awọn ọmọbinrin nyin wi nigbati nwọn ba ṣe agbère, tabi awọn afẹ́sọnà nyin nigbati nwọn ba ṣe panṣagà: nitori nwọn yà si apakan pẹlu awọn agbère, nwọn si mba awọn panṣagà rubọ̀: nitorina awọn enia ti kò ba moye yio ṣubu.

¹⁴ I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

¹⁵ Bi iwọ, Israeli, ba ṣe agbère, máṣe jẹ ki Juda ṣẹ̀; ẹ má si wá si Gilgali, bẹ̃ni ki ẹ má si goke lọ si Bet-afeni, bẹ̃ni ki ẹ má si bura pe, Oluwa mbẹ.

¹⁵ Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

¹⁶ Nitori Israeli ṣe agidi bi ọmọ malu alagidi; nisisiyi Oluwa yio bọ́ wọn bi ọdọ-agùtan ni ibi ayè nla.

¹⁶ For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

¹⁷ Efraimu dapọ̀ mọ òriṣa: jọwọ rẹ̀ si.

¹⁷ Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

¹⁸ Ohun mimu wọn di kikan: nwọn ṣe agbère gidigidi; awọn olori rẹ̀ fẹ itìju, ẹ bun u li ayè.

¹⁸ Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

¹⁹ Afẹfẹ ti dè e pẹlu mọ iyẹ́ apa rẹ̀, nwọn o si tíju nitori ẹbọ wọn.

¹⁹ The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
