1Yixayee yog tsob txiv hmab
uas hlob zoo thiab txi txiv ncw.
Yimhuab txi txiv ntau
kuj yimhuab ua thaj teev dab ntau.
Thaum lawv lub tebchaws vam meej tuaj,
lawv yimhuab ua tej ncej teev dab
zoo nkauj tuaj.
2Lawv lub siab dag,
nimno lawv thiaj yuav tsum ris lawv lub txim.
Yawmsaub yuav tsoo lawv tej thaj pov tseg,
thiab muab lawv tej ncej teev dab
ua kom puam tsuaj.
3Thaum ntawd lawv yuav hais tias,
“Peb tsis muaj vajntxwv
vim peb tsis paub ntshai Yawmsaub.
Yog peb muaj vajntxwv
nws yuav pab tau peb li cas?”
4Lawv hais lus do do xwb,
lawv lam cog lus twv qhuav qhuav xwb.
Vim li no kev ua plaub ua ntug yuav hlav tuaj
yam nkaus li tej nroj tsuag muaj taug
tuaj raws kwj hniav khais hauv daim teb.
5Cov Xamali tshee hnyo vim txhawj txog
tus dab mlom thav nyuj ntawm Npe‑avee.
Lawv yuav quaj ntsuag
thiab cov pov thawj uas teev dab
yuav quaj nyiav tus dab mlom,
vim tus dab mlom ntawd
lub koob meej ploj lawm.
6Tus dab mlom ntawd yuav raug coj mus
rau Axilia tebchaws pub ua tshav ntuj
rau tus vajntxwv uas loj kawg.
Efa‑i yuav raug poob ntsej muag,
Yixayee yuav txaj muag
vim yog qhov uas ua dab mlom.⚓
7Xamali tus vajntxwv yuav puam tsuaj,
yam nkaus li tej nplais ntoo
ntab saum nplaim dej mus.
8Tej chaw siab teev dab hauv lub moos Avee,
uas yog Yixayee lub txim,
yuav raug puam tsuaj tag.
Tej pos thiab nroj tsuag yuav tuaj
rau saum lawv tej thaj xyeem.
Lawv yuav hais rau tej roob tias,
“Cia li txhub kiag peb lauj,”
thiab hais rau tej pov roob tias,
“Cia li nphau los tsuam peb.”
9“Cov Yixayee 'e, nej yeej ua txhaum
txij thaum ua hauv lub moos Kinpe‑a.
Lawv tseem ua quj qees
ntawm lub chaw ntawd los li.
Kev ua rog tseem yuav tsis los raug lawv
ntawm Kinpe‑a lov?
10Kuv yuav tuaj rau txim
rau cov neeg tawv ncauj ntawd.
Ib tsoom tebchaws yuav sau zog
tuaj ua ke tawm tsam lawv,
mas lawv yuav raug khi
vim muaj ob npaug kev txhaum.
11Efa‑i yog tus xyuas nyuj uas cob tau,
nws nyiam tsuj qoob hauv lub tshav,
kuv tsis tau yuam nws
lub cej dab zoo nkauj ua haujlwm hnyav.
Tiamsis kuv yuav muab Efa‑i hai tus quab,
Yuda yuav tsum laij,
Yakhauj yuav tsum muab lob phuaj sua.
12Cia li tseb txojkev ncaj ncees rau nej tus kheej,
cia li sau tej uas tau ntawm qhov uas hlub kuv,
cia li laij daim teb uas muab tso tseg lawm,
rau qhov txog sijhawm
uas yuav mus nrhiav Yawmsaub,
xwv nws thiaj los tso txojkev dim rau nej.
13Nej twb cog txojkev limhiam lawm,
nej twb sau txojkev phem,
nej twb saws tej uas nej dag tau los noj.
Vim nej tso siab rau nej tej tsheb nees ua rog
thiab tso siab rau nej cov tub rog uas coob coob,
14lub suab ua rog thiaj yuav nrov
tshwm rau hauv nej haiv neeg,
nej tej chaw ruaj khov huvsi
yuav raug muab ua puam tsuaj,
ib yam li Samas muab lub moos Npe Anpee
ua puam tsuaj rau hnub uas ua rog.
Leej niam raug muab ntsawm
ntuag ua tej dwb daim
nrog nws cov menyuam ua ke.
15Cov neeg hauv Npe‑ee 'e,
nej yuav raug li no ntag lauj,
rau qhov nej txojkev limhiam loj kawg li.
Thaum kaj ntug Yixayee tus vajntxwv
yuav raug muab txiav tu nrho.”

Israel’s Sin and Captivity
1Israel ⚓empties his vine;
He brings forth fruit for himself.
According to the multitude of his fruit
⚓He has increased the altars;
According to the bounty of his land
They have embellished his sacred pillars.
2Their heart is ⚓divided;
Now they are held guilty.
He will break down their altars;
He will ruin their sacred pillars.
3For now they say,
“We have no king,
Because we did not fear the Lord.
And as for a king, what would he do for us?”
4They have spoken words,
Swearing falsely in making a covenant.
Thus judgment springs up ⚓like hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5The inhabitants of Samaria fear
Because of the ⚓calf of Beth Aven.
For its people mourn for it,
And its priests shriek for it—
Because its ⚓glory has departed from it.
6The idol also shall be carried to Assyria
As a present for King ⚓Jareb.
Ephraim shall receive shame,
And Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7As for Samaria, her king is cut off
Like a twig on the water.
8Also the ⚓high places of Aven, ⚓the sin of Israel,
Shall be destroyed.
The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars;
⚓They shall say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
9“O Israel, you have sinned from the days of ⚓Gibeah;
There they stood.
The ⚓battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity
Did not overtake them.
10When it is My desire, I will chasten them.
⚓Peoples shall be gathered against them
When I bind them for their two transgressions.
11Ephraim is⚓a trained heifer
That loves to thresh grain;
But I harnessed her fair neck,
I will make Ephraim pull a plow.
Judah shall plow;
Jacob shall break his clods.”
12Sow for yourselves righteousness;
Reap in mercy;
⚓Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He ⚓comes and rains righteousness on you.
13⚓You have plowed wickedness;
You have reaped iniquity.
You have eaten the fruit of lies,
Because you trusted in your own way,
In the multitude of your mighty men.
14Therefore tumult shall arise among your people,
And all your fortresses shall be plundered
As Shalman plundered Beth Arbel in the day of battle—
A mother dashed in pieces upon her children.
15Thus it shall be done to you, O Bethel,
Because of your great wickedness.
At dawn the king of Israel
Shall be cut off utterly.
