Hosea 4 (KBQ) · Opened

1Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hianki Israeli vahe'mota antahiho, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno ama mopafima mani'naza vahera keaga huramanteanki antahiho, Tamagra avariri fatgo nosuta, avesi ante'zana omanegeno, Anumzamofoma keno antahino'ma hu'zana ama mopafina omanene.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!

2Hagi tamagripina vahe'ma sifna hunte'zanki, havigema huzanki, hazenkezmi omane vahe zamahe fri'zanki, kumzafa zane, monko avu'avazane, mika kaziga ha' frama hu'zane, vahe'ma aheno korama eri tagi'zamo avite'ne.Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.

3E'i ana agafare mopatamifina zavi krafagemo'a avitegeno, mopafina tina omaneno hagege nehigeno, monafima hare'za vano nehaza namaramine, hagerimpi nozameramine, afi' zagagafamozanena fri vagare'naze.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.

4Hagi mago vahe'mo'a mago vahekura huno kagri hazenke me'ne huno osino. Na'ankure ama hazenkea pristi vahe'mota eri fore hu'nagu keaga huneramantoe.But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.

5Hu'negu tamagra zage ferupina tanafa huta nemasesage'za, havige kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena hanimpina tanafa hugahaze. Hagi anta'tamimofo Israelina azeri haviza hugahue.You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—

6Hagi vahe'nima zamazeri havizama hanuana, na'ankure Nagrira nage'za antahiza zamagra osu'nazagu anara hugahue. Hagi pristi vahe'mo'za Nagrira nagenira osu'nagu, zamagri'enena antahi nozamue. Hagi tamagra Nagri kasegea tamagekanizagu, tamagrira tamagekani neramante'na mofavretamia asomura huozmantegahue.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.

7Hagi rama'a pristi vahe'ma fore'ma nehu'za, rama'a kumi hu'naze. Hagi ra zamagima eneriza zana zamazeri zamagaze hugahue.The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace.

8Hagi vahe'mo'zama kumizmire'ma ofama hunaku'ma eri'za aza ofa pristi vahe'mo'za ne'naze. E'ina hu'negu vahe'mo'zama kumima nehazage'za, pristi vahe'mo'za rama'a muse nehaze.They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.

9Hagi nazano pristi vahe'mo'zama haza zamavu zamavara vahe'mo'zanena ana zamavu zamava avaririza kefo zamavu zamavara nehaze. Ana hu'nazagu pristi vahe'ene amne vahe'enena ana zamavu'zmava hu'naza zante zamazeri haviza hugahue.And it shall be like people, like priest. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

10Hagi rama'a ne'zana negahazanagi, zamura osugahie. Hagi savri monko avu'ava zana hugahazanagi, mofavrea kase hakarea osugahaze. Na'ankure tamagra Nagrira Ra Anumzana natreta ru anumzamofo amage ante'nazagu anara hugahaze.They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have abandoned the LORD to give themselves

11Hagi waini tine, kasefa waini tine, savri monko avu'ava'ma hu'zamo, antahi ama'ma hu'zana Nagri vahepintira eri netre.to promiscuity, wine, and new wine, which take away understanding.

12Hagi Nagri vahe'mo'za zafare'ma kaza osu havi anumzama antre'za tro hunte'naza havi anumzane, rampa zante'ma tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzana antahinegaze. Hagi zamagra savri monko avu'avazama hazazamo zamazeri havia hige'za zamagra Anumzamofontera mani fatgo hu'za nomaniza monora huonte'naze.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.

13Hagi zamagra agonaramimpi mareriza kaza osu havi anumzantera kresramana vunentaze. Hagi knare tona'ma hu'nea oki zafane, popra zafane, terebinti zafa agafafi kre manavu ofa hunte'naze. E'ina agafare mofa'netamimo'za ana zanke hu'za monkote hu'za vano nehazageno, tamanoferehe'za ana zanke hu'za savri hu'za monkote vano nehaze.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.

14Hianagi monkozama hu'za vanoma nehaza mofa'netamine, tamanoferehe'inena Nagra knazana zami'na zamazeri havizana osugahue. Na'ankure tamagra vene'nemotanena ana zanke huta zagore'ma monkoza nehaza a'nanene monkozana ome nehuta, havi anumzamofo mono nompi savri'ma nehaza a'nene ofa ome Kresramana nevaze. E'ina hu'negu ama' antahi'zana omanenigeta haviza hugahaze.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.

15Hagi Israeli vahe'mota monko a'negna huta mani fatgo huta nomanizanki, Juda vahe'motanema ana zama huzankura kva hiho. Hagi havige anumzante'ma Gilgalima mono'ma hunentaza zankura kva nehuta, kasefa'ma huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo agifima huvempa nehaza zankura kva hiho.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!’

16Hagi Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamasenimo'a hankavetigege huno keontahi bulimakao afu'mofo asenimo'ma hiaza hu'ne. Hianagi inankna hu'na e'inahu vahera sipisipi afu anentama avare'noma vanoma nehigeno tra'zama nenea knara hu'na kegava huzmantegahue.For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?

17Hagi Israeli vahera zamatrenke'za zamagra'a zamavesi'za avaririza kaza osu havi anumzantera viho.Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!

18Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za aka tima nete'za monko a'negu ome hake'za ana a'nene monkoza ome nehaze. Hagi ranra kva vahe'mo'za zamagima eri'zana netre'za zamagazema hu avu'ava zanku zamave'nesie.When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.

19Hagi hanave zaho'mo mikaza eme eri hareno freankna hu'na zamavare atregahue. Na'ankure zamagrama havi anumzantema kresramnama vunte'nazagu anara hanuge'za zamagazegu hugahaze.The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
