Hosea 4 (GMVL) · Opened

1Hanno biittay bolla diza asa ubbaa bolla GODAY shiishshiza mootoy dees. Hessa gishshas Isra7eele asawu! Izi inttena gizayssa siyite; «Hanno biittay bollafe ammaneteththay, siiqoynne Xoos eroy dhaydes.Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!

2Haan dizay qanggeth, wordo, shemppo wodho, laymateththinne caaqqida qaala muusi xalla dees. Geneynne shemppo wodhoy dari dari bees.Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.

3Hessa gaason biittay bolla koshay yees; izi bolla dizay wuri gilqees; meheti, do7ati, kafotinne Abba giddon diza moleti ubbay wureettes.»Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.

4GODAY, «Intteno qeeseto ta inttena mootiza miishshi dees; hessa gishshas oonikka hara asara palamettofo; qasse oonikka hara as mootoppo.But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.

5Intte omarsinne gallas dhuphetteeta; nabetikka inttenara dhuphetteettes. Hessa gishshas tani intte aayo Isra7eele dhayssana.You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—

6Ta derezas erateththi paccida gishshas dhaydes. Intte tana eranaas koyontta gishshas tanikka intte taas qeeseta gidi ooththana mala koykke. Intte ta woga balettida gishshas tanikka intte nayta balana.My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.

7Qeeseta qooday dari dari bishin istti ta bolla ooththida nagaray dari dari bides; bantta bonchchoka kawushshan laammida.The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace.

8Ta dereza nagaray isttas muussas kiyides; hessa gishshas derey nagara ooththizayssa keehi dosida.They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.

9Intte qeesetikka deraappe dummatekketa; hessa gishshas ta ubbaaka izaade hano mala iza qaxxayana; iza ooso malakka izas immana.And it shall be like people, like priest. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

10Ta derey tana GODAA aggida gishshas istti maanashin kallettenna; laymatanashin corattettenna» gees.They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have abandoned the LORD to give themselves

11«Laymateththas, Caalida woyne ushshas, mal7o woyne ushsha suukes banttana aaththi immida; hessantti ta dereza wozina ekkida.to promiscuity, wine, and new wine, which take away understanding.

12Hessa gishshas miththafe oosettida eeqa xoossa zore oychcheettes; istti izan maroththiza guufezikka isttas zaaro immiza misatees; laymateththa qofay baleththides; bantta Xoossaas ammanettibeettenna.My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit of prostitution leads them astray and they have played the harlot against their God.

13Zumay dizason dizason yarsho yarsheettes; zumbullata bolla, gita daashsha miththata kuwa garsan xuugettiza yarsho yarsheettes. Hessa gaason intte macca nayti layman daana; intte nayta machcheti laymatana.They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery.

14Intte macca naytinne intte nayta machcheti laymatishin tani istta qaxxaykke; gaasoykka intte attumasati layma maccassatara suuketeettes; eeqa xoossatas laymateththa yarsho shiishshizaytara intteka izaththo yarsheeta. Hessa gishshas akeekay baynda derey dhayana.I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.

15«Intteno Isra7eele asatoo! Intte laymatikkoka Yuhuda asay laymatana mala ooththofte; hessa gishshas taas goynnanaas Gelgela woykko Beeti-Awene geetettizaso boopite; ‹De7o GODAY beyiin› giidi ta sunththan caaqqofte.Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-aven, and do not swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’

16Isra7eele derey makkallanchcha ussa mala makkallides; histtiin GODAY istta dorsa laaqqata mala lo7oson wostti heemmanee?For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?

17Efreemey eeqa xoossata goynon oykettida gishshas istta gede aggaagite.Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!

18Woyne ushshu uyidaappe guye laymateettes. Istta ayssizaytikka yeellachchiza miish doseettes.When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.

19Istta gote carkoy pitti efana; istta yarshoy istta bolla yeella ehana.The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
