< Hosea 4 >

1 Hear the LORD’s word, you children of Israel, for the LORD has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo a tattao ti Israel. Addaan ti pammabasol ni Yahweh kadagiti agnanaed iti daga, gapu ta awanen ti napudno kadakayo, ken awanen ti napudno iti tulag, awanen ti pannakaammoyo iti Dios iti daga.
2 There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
Adda ti panangilunod, panagulbod, pammapatay, panagtakaw, ken pannakikamalala. Sinalungasing dagiti tattao dagiti amin a linteg, ket agsasaruno ti pannakaiparukpok ti dara.
3 Therefore the land will mourn, and everyone who dwells in it will waste away, with all living things in her, even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; yes, the fish of the sea also die.
Isu nga agmagmaga ti daga, ket kumapkapuy dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daytoy: dagiti narungsot nga ayup iti tay-ak ken dagiti billit iti tangatang; uray pay dagiti ikan iti baybay ket napukawdan.
4 “Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.
Ngem saanmo a palubosan ti siasinoman a mangyeg iti darum; saanmo a palubosan a pabasolen ti maysa a tao ti siasinoman. Gapu ta dakayo a papadi ti pabpabasolek.
5 You will stumble in the day, and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.
Maitibkolkayonto a papadi iti aldaw; Maitibkolkto met dagiti profeta a kaduayo iti rabii, ket dadaelekto ti inayo.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.
Madaddadael dagiti tattaok gapu iti kinakurang iti pannakaammo. Gapu ta linaksidyo a papadi ti pannakaammo, laksidendakayonto met a kas papadi kaniak. Gapu ta linipatyo ti lintegko, uray no siak ti Diosyo, lipatekto met dagiti annakyo.
7 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
No kasano ti panagadu dagiti papadi, ad-adda met ti panagbasolda kaniak. Pagbalinekto a pakaibabainan dagiti dayawda.
8 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
Agtaraonda iti basol dagiti tattaok; naagumda kadagiti kinadangkesda.
9 It will be like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.
Kastanto met laeng kadagiti tattao a kas kadagiti papadi: dusaekto ida amin gapu kadagiti aramidda; pagsagabaekto ida gapu kadagiti aramidda.
10 They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned listening to the LORD.
Mangandanto ngem saanda a mapnek; agbalangkantisdanto ngem saanda nga umado, gapu ta tinalikkudan ken pinanawandak, siak a ni Yahweh.
11 Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
Ti kinaderrep, arak ken ti baro nga arak ti nangpukaw ti pannakaawatda.
12 My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.
Makium-uman dagiti tattaok kadagiti didiosenda a kayo, ket agipadpadto kadakuada dagiti sarukodda. Ta inyaw-awan ida ti espiritu ti kinaderrep, ket pinanawandak a Diosda.
13 They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.
Agidatdatonda kadagiti tapaw dagiti bantay ken agpupuorda iti insenso iti tapaw dagiti turod, iti sirok dagiti kayo a lugo, alamo, ken terebinto gapu ta nasayaat ti linongda. Isu a nagbalangkantis dagiti annakyo a babbai, ken nakikamalala dagiti manugangyo a babbai.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.
Saankonto a dusaen dagiti annakyo a babbai inton pilienda ti pannakikamalala, wenno dagiti manugangyo a babbai inton makikamalalada. Gapu ta ipaay met dagiti lallaki dagiti bagida kadagiti balangkantis, ken agidatagda met kadagiti daton tapno makaaramidda kadagiti dakes nga aramid a kadua dagiti kulto a balangkantis. Isu a madadaelto dagitoy a tattao a saan a makaaw-awat.
15 “Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet do not let Judah offend; and do not come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, ‘As the LORD lives.’
Uray no nakikammalalaka, O Israel, saan koma nga agbasol ti Juda. Saankayo a mapan idiay Gilgal, dakayo a tattao; saankayo a sumang-at idiay Bethaven. Ket saankayo nga agikari, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon.”
16 For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will the LORD feed them like a lamb in a meadow?
Gapu ta nagtignay a sisusukir ti Israel, kas iti maysa a nasukir a bumalasang a baka. Kasano ngarud ida a maiturong ni Yahweh iti pagaraban a kas kadagiti urbon a karnero iti tay-ak?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols. Leave him alone!
Nakipagmaymaysa ti Efraim kadagiti didiosen; baybay-am isuna.
18 Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.
Uray no naibusen dagiti naingel a mainumda, itultuloyda latta ti makikamkamalala; ay-ayaten met dagiti pangulona dagiti pakaibabainanda.
19 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.
Balkutento isuna ti angin kadagiti payyakna; ket mababaindanto gapu kadagiti datdatonda.
