Hosea 9
King James Version
9 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
3 They shall not dwell in the Lord's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the Lord.
5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
14 Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Hosea 9
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
9 Huwag kang magalak, Oh Israel sa katuwaan, na gaya ng mga bayan; sapagka't ikaw ay nagpatutot na humihiwalay sa iyong Dios; iyong inibig ang upa sa bawa't giikan.
2 Ang giikan at ang pisaan ng ubas ay hindi magpapakain sa kanila, at ang bagong alak ay magkukulang sa kaniya.
3 Sila'y hindi magsisitahan sa lupain ng Panginoon; kundi ang Ephraim ay babalik sa Egipto, at sila'y magsisikain ng maruming pagkain sa Asiria.
4 Hindi nila ipagbubuhos ng alak ang Panginoon, ni makalulugod man sa kaniya: ang kanilang mga hain ay magiging sa kanila'y parang tinapay ng nangagluksa; lahat ng magsikain niyaon ay mangapapahamak; sapagka't ang kanilang tinapay ay parang sa kanilang ipagkakagana; hindi papasok sa bahay ng Panginoon.
5 Ano ang inyong gagawin sa kaarawan ng takdang kapulungan, at sa kaarawan ng kapistahan ng Panginoon?
6 Sapagka't, narito, sila'y nagsialis sa kagibaan, gayon ma'y pipisanin sila ng Egipto, sila'y ililibing ng Memphis; ang kanilang maligayang mga bagay na pilak ay aariin ng dawag; mga tinik ang sasa kanilang mga tolda.
7 Ang mga kaarawan ng pagdalaw ay dumating, ang mga kaarawan ng kagantihan ay dumating; malalaman ng Israel: ang propeta ay mangmang, ang lalake na may espiritu ay ulol, dahil sa karamihan ng iyong kasamaan, at sapagka't ang poot ay malaki.
8 Ang Ephraim ay bantay na kasama ng aking Dios: tungkol sa propeta, ay silo ng manghuhuli sa lahat ng kaniyang lansangan, at pagkakaalit ay nasa bahay ng kaniyang Dios.
9 Sila'y nangagpapahamak na mainam, na gaya ng mga kaarawan ng Gabaa: kaniyang aalalahanin ang kanilang kasamaan, kaniyang dadalawin ang kanilang mga kasalanan.
10 Aking nasumpungan ang Israel na parang ubas sa ilang; aking nakita ang inyong mga magulang na parang unang bunga sa puno ng higos sa kaniyang unang kapanahunan: nguni't sila'y nagsiparoon kay Baalpeor, at nangagsitalaga sa mahalay na bagay, at naging kasuklamsuklam na gaya ng kanilang iniibig.
11 Tungkol sa Ephraim, ang kanilang kaluwalhatian ay lilipad na parang ibon; mawawalan ng panganganak, at walang magdadalang tao, at walang paglilihi.
12 Bagaman kanilang pinalalaki ang kanilang mga anak, gayon ma'y aking babawaan sila, na walang tao; oo, sa aba nila pagka ako'y humiwalay sa kanila!
13 Ang Ephraim, gaya ng aking makita ang Tiro, ay natatanim sa isang masayang dako: nguni't ilalabas ng Ephraim ang kaniyang mga anak sa tagapatay.
14 Bigyan mo sila, Oh Panginoon-anong iyong ibibigay? bigyan mo sila ng mga bahay-batang maaagasan at mga tuyong suso.
15 Lahat nilang kasamaan ay nasa Gilgal; sapagka't doo'y kinapootan ko sila; dahil sa kasamaan ng kanilang mga gawa, akin silang palalayasin sa aking bahay; hindi ko na sila iibigin; lahat nilang prinsipe ay mapagsalangsang.
16 Ang Ephraim ay nasaktan, ang kaniyang ugat ay natuyo, sila'y hindi mangagbubunga: oo, bagaman sila'y nanganak, gayon ma'y aking papatayin ang minamahal na bunga ng kanilang bahay-bata.
17 Itatakuwil sila ng aking Dios, sapagka't hindi nila dininig siya; at sila'y magiging mga gala sa gitna ng mga bansa.
Hosea 9
New International Version
Punishment for Israel
9 Do not rejoice, Israel;
do not be jubilant(A) like the other nations.
For you have been unfaithful(B) to your God;
you love the wages of a prostitute(C)
at every threshing floor.
2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;
the new wine(D) will fail them.
3 They will not remain(E) in the Lord’s land;
Ephraim will return to Egypt(F)
and eat unclean food in Assyria.(G)
4 They will not pour out wine offerings(H) to the Lord,
nor will their sacrifices please(I) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;(J)
all who eat them will be unclean.(K)
This food will be for themselves;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.(L)
5 What will you do(M) on the day of your appointed festivals,(N)
on the feast days of the Lord?
6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,(O)
and Memphis(P) will bury them.(Q)
Their treasures of silver(R) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(S) will overrun their tents.
7 The days of punishment(T) are coming,
the days of reckoning(U) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(V) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(W)
the inspired person a maniac.(X)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[a]
yet snares(Y) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(Z)
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,(AA)
as in the days of Gibeah.(AB)
God will remember(AC) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.(AD)
10 “When I found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the early fruit(AE) on the fig(AF) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(AG)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(AH)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(AI) will fly away like a bird(AJ)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(AK)
12 Even if they rear children,
I will bereave(AL) them of every one.
Woe(AM) to them
when I turn away from them!(AN)
13 I have seen Ephraim,(AO) like Tyre,
planted in a pleasant place.(AP)
But Ephraim will bring out
their children to the slayer.”(AQ)
14 Give them, Lord—
what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry
and breasts that are dry.(AR)
15 “Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal,(AS)
I hated them there.
Because of their sinful deeds,(AT)
I will drive them out of my house.
I will no longer love them;(AU)
all their leaders are rebellious.(AV)
16 Ephraim(AW) is blighted,
their root is withered,
they yield no fruit.(AX)
Even if they bear children,
I will slay(AY) their cherished offspring.”
