Hosea 10pcm

1Israel pipol bi like grape vine wey grape full. But di more dem dey prosper, di more dem dey build juju altars. Di more good-good tins dey happen for di town, di more dem dey make and woship juju.

2Na wikedness full di pipol heart, so dem must sofa for dia sin. God go distroy dia altar kon skata all dia holy pilas.

3Dis pipol go soon start to sey, “Wi nor get king, bikos wi nor dey fear God. But wetin king fit do for us sef?”

4Na empty words dem dey tok kon dey give lie-lie promise and naw, just as dem turn field wey betta plant suppose grow to where poizin grass full, na so too dem don turn betta judgement to bad one.

5So, Samaria pipol go mourn for di juju wey Bet-Aven pipol. Dem go kry, bikos dem go take di juju from dem kon karry am go anoda land.

6Dem go give di juju as gift to Assyria king. Dem go disgrace and make Israel pipol shame, bikos dem go follow juju.

7Dem go karry dia king go like wood wey wota float go.

8Dem go skata di juju house on-top di hill for Aven where Israel pipol for dey go woship am. Shuku-shuku and grass go grow kover dia altars. Di pipol go shaut koll di mountins sey, “Make yu kom hide us!” Dem go tell di hill, “Make yu kom kover us!”

9Oga God sey, “Israel pipol, na since una dey Gibeah una dey sin kom rish naw and una nor dey progress at-all. Una nor si as dem kill Gibeah wiked pipol for war?

10So, I go attack and ponish dis pipol wey dey sin. Difren kountry go gada against dem and I go ponish dem, bikos of dia sins.

11Israel pipol bi like yong melu wey dem train well before; dem dey ready to separate di korn from di grass. But I don make up my mind sey I go use rope tie dia fine neck kon make dem do hard work. I go make Judah and Israel pipol do strong-strong work.

12I sey, ‘Make una plant raitiousness for unasef, den una go harvest love wey nor dey end. Make una klear new groun for unasef, bikos dis na di time to turn kom meet mi, so dat I go save una.’

13But with evritin wey I tok, una plant wikedness kon harvest wetin una plant. Una don chop di fruit wey una lie-lie kause. Bikos una trust una shariot and di many sojas wey una get,

14war go kom meet una and all una strong house go skata. Dat day go bi like wen King Shalman fight and distroy Bet-Arbel town kon kill both mama and dia shidren.

15Bethel pipol, dat na wetin go happen to una, bikos of di bad-bad tins wey una don do. Wen dat day don kom, dem go distroy Israel king.
