Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel for ioy as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God: thou hast loued a rewarde vpon euery corne floore.
O Israel, migakpɔ dzidzɔ abe ame bubuwo ene o, elabena miegbe miaƒe Mawu la hesa vɔ na mawu bubuwo, eye mielɔ̃ gbolowo ƒe nunanawo le lugbɔƒe ɖe sia ɖe.
2 The floore, and the wine presse shall not feede them, and the newe wine shall faile in her.
Lugbɔƒewo kple wainfiaƒewo mana nuɖuɖu amewo o, eye woƒe aha yeye agblẽ.
3 They wil not dwel in the Lordes lande, but Ephraim will returne to Egypt, and they will eate vncleane things in Asshur.
Miaganɔ anyigba si nye Yehowa tɔ la dzi o, Efraim atrɔ ayi Egipte, eye woaɖu nu makɔmakɔwo le Asiria.
4 They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasant vnto him: but they shall be vnto them as the bread of mourners: al that eate thereof, shalbe polluted: for their bread for their soules shall not come into the house of the Lord.
Le afi sia la, womaɖe mɔ be miatsɔ wain asa vɔe na Yehowa o, elabena vɔsa siwo katã woawɔ le afi ma la ƒe ɖeke madze eŋu o; vɔsa siawo ŋuti mekɔ o, ɖeko wole abe kuteƒenuɖuɖu ene, eye ame siwo katã ɖui la, woawo hã ŋuti mekɔ o. Woate ŋu aɖu nu siawo be woaɖi ƒo, gake menye be woatsɔe asa vɔe le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me o.
5 What wil ye do then in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
Ekema nu ka miawɔ le ŋkeke kɔkɔewo kple Yehowa ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo dzi?
6 For loe, they are gone from destruction: but Egypt shall gather them vp, and Memphis shall burie them: the nettle shall possesse the pleasant places of their siluer, and the thorne shall be in their tabernacles.
Elabena ne wosi le gbegblẽ nu la, Egipte aƒo wo nu ƒu, eye Memfis aɖi wo. Woƒe klosalonu veviwo alé ɣebia, eye aŋɔka avu atsyɔ woƒe agbadɔwo dzi.
7 The daies of visitation are come: the daies of recompence are come: Israel shall knowe it: the Prophet is a foole: the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquitie: therefore the hatred is great.
Toheɣi na Israel ɖo vɔ; nu vɔ̃ ƒe akɔntanaɣi ɖo vɔ, eye kpuie la, Israel anya nu si wònye. Esi wò nu vɔ̃wo li kɔ gleglegle, eye fuléle yɔ mewò fũu ta la, nyagblɔɖila zu bometsila, eye ame si me Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ le la zu tsukunɔ.
8 The watchman of Ephraim shoulde bee with my God: but the Prophet is the snare of a fouler in all his waies, and hatred in the House of his God.
Meɖo nyagblɔɖilawo be woadzɔ Efraim ŋu, gake dukɔ la xe mɔ na wo le mɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu, woɖe woƒe fulélewo fia le dutoƒo, eye wowɔ esia hã le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me gɔ̃ hã.
9 They are deepely set: they are corrupt as in the daies of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes.
Nu tovo siwo wɔm nye dukɔ le la, le abe movinu siwo wowɔ le Gibea gbe aɖe gbe va yi ene. Mawu aɖo ŋku woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo dzi, eye wòahe to na wo le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wildernes: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the figge tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according to their louers.
“Esi medo go Israel la, enɔ nam abe waintsetse le gbegbe ene; esi medo go wo fofowo la, enɔ nam abe gbotsetse gbãtɔ le gboti dzi ene. Ke esi wova Baal Peor gbɔ la, wotsɔ wo ɖokuiwo na ŋukpenalegba la eye woɖi gbɔ̃ abe legba si ŋu woku ɖo la ene.
11 Ephraim their glorie shall flee away like a birde: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception.
Efraim ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dzo, dzo abe xevi ene, eya ta womadzi vi o, womafɔ fu o, eye womado fu hã o
12 Though they bring vp their children, yet I will depriue them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.
eye ne viwòwo tsi la, maxɔ wo le asiwò, atsrɔ̃ wo. Baba na mi, ne metrɔ dzo le mia gbɔ. Anye blanuiléle ƒe ŋkeke.
13 Ephraim, as I sawe, is as a tree in Tyrus planted in a cottage: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murtherer.
Mekpɔ Efraim, wodɔe ɖe teƒe dzeani aɖe abe Tiro ene, gake Efraim akplɔ viawo ade asi na amewula.”
14 O Lord, giue them: what wilt thou giue them? giue them a baren wombe and drie breasts.
O Yehowa, nu ka nàtsɔ ana wò amewo? Nu siwo nàtsɔ na wo lae nye vidzidɔ si mate ŋu atsɔ fu o kple no siwo me notsi manɔ o.
15 All their wickednesse is in Gilgal: for there doe I hate them: for the wickednesse of their inuentions, I will cast them out of mine House: I will loue them no more: all their princes are rebels.
“Woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ katã dze egɔme le Gilgal, eye afi mae nye hã megbe nu le wo gbɔ le. Manya wo le nye anyigba dzi le woƒe ahasiwɔwɔ ta. Nyemagalɔ̃ wo azɔ o, elabena woƒe amegãwo katã nye aglãdzelawo.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried vp: they can bring no fruite: yea, though they bring foorth, yet will I slaie euen the dearest of their bodie.
Efraim, tsɔtsrɔ̃ tu wò. Israel, wò kewo katã yrɔ, màgatse ku azɔ o, eye ne èdzi vi hã la, mawu ɖevi si gbɔ womelɔ̃ nu le o.”
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not obey him: and they shall wander among the nations.
Nye Mawu agbe Israelviwo, elabena wogbe be yewomaɖo toe o. Woazu tsatsalawo, kple aƒemanɔsitɔwo le dukɔwo dome.
