Hosea 7 - Listen Online

¹ NIGBATI emi iba mu Israeli li ara dá, nigbana ni ẹ̀ṣẹ Efraimu fi ara hàn, ati ìwa-buburu Samaria; nitori nwọn ṣeké; olè si wọle, ọwọ́ olè si nkoni lode.

¹ When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.

² Nwọn kò si rò li ọkàn wọn pe, emi ranti gbogbo ìwa-buburu wọn: nisisiyi iṣẹ ara wọn duro yi wọn ka; nwọn wà niwaju mi.

² And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.

³ Nwọn fi ìwa-buburu wọn mu ki ọba yọ̀; nwọn si fi eké wọn mu awọn ọmọ-alade yọ̀.

³ They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

⁴ Gbogbo nwọn ni panṣagà, bi ãrò ti alakàra mu gboná, ti o dawọ́ kikoná duro, lẹhìn igbati o ti pò iyẹ̀fun tan, titi yio fi wú.

⁴ They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneeded the dough, until it be leavened.

⁵ Li ọjọ ọba wa, awọn ọmọ-alade ti fi oru ọti-waini mu u ṣaisàn; o nà ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jade pẹlu awọn ẹlẹgàn.

⁵ In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.

⁶ Nitori nwọn ti mura ọkàn wọn silẹ bi ãrò, nigbati nwọn ba ni buba: alakàra wọn sùn ni gbogbo oru; li owurọ̀ o jo bi ọwọ́-iná.

⁶ For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

⁷ Gbogbo wọn gboná bi ãrò, nwọn ti jẹ awọn onidajọ wọn run; gbogbo ọba wọn ṣubu: kò si ẹnikan ninu wọn ti o ke pè mi.

⁷ They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

⁸ Efraimu, on ti dà ara rẹ̀ pọ̀ mọ awọn enia na; Efraimu ni akàra ti a kò yipadà.

⁸ Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

⁹ Awọn alejò ti jẹ agbara rẹ̀ run, on kò si mọ̀: nitõtọ, ewú wà kakiri li ara rẹ̀, sibẹ̀ on kò mọ̀.

⁹ Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.

¹⁰ Igberaga Israeli si njẹri si i li oju rẹ̀; nwọn kò si yipadà si Oluwa Ọlọrun wọn, bẹ̃ni fun gbogbo eyi nwọn kò si wá a.

¹⁰ And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.

¹¹ Efraimu pẹlu dabi òpe adàba ti kò li ọkàn; nwọn kọ si Egipti, nwọn lọ si Assiria.

¹¹ Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

¹² Nigbati nwọn o lọ, emi o nà àwọn mi le wọn; emi o mu wọn wá ilẹ bi ẹiyẹ oju-ọrun; emi o nà wọn, bi ijọ-enia wọn ti gbọ́.

¹² When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.

¹³ Egbe ni fun wọn! nitori nwọn ti sá kuro lọdọ mi: iparun ni fun wọn! nitori nwọn ti ṣẹ̀ si mi: bi o tilẹ ṣepe mo ti rà wọn padà, ṣugbọn nwọn ti ṣe eké si mi.

¹³ Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

¹⁴ Nwọn kò si ti fi tọkàntọkàn ké pè mi, nigbati nwọn hu lori akete wọn: nwọn kó ara wọn jọ fun ọkà ati ọti-waini, nwọn si ṣọ̀tẹ si mi.

¹⁴ And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

¹⁵ Bi mo ti dì, ti mo si fun apa wọn li okun, sibẹ̀ nwọn nrò ibi si mi.

¹⁵ Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

¹⁶ Nwọn yipadà, ṣugbọn kì iṣe si Ọga-ogo: nwọn dàbi ọrun ẹtàn; awọn ọmọ-alade wọn yio tipa idà ṣubu, nitori irúnu ahọn wọn: eyi ni yio ṣe ẹsín wọn ni ilẹ Egipti.

¹⁶ They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
