Hosea 5

1 Hear this O priests and pay attention - O house of Israel and O house of the king give ear for [belongs] to you the judgment for a trap you have been to Mizpah and a net spread out over Tabor.

“Muntie, mo asɔfo! Monhyɛ eyi nso, mo Israelfo! Monyɛ asow, adehyefi! Saa atemmu yi tia mo: Moayɛ afiri wɔ Mispa, ne asau a wɔagu no Tabor so.

2 And slaughtering rebels they have made deep and I [am] discipline to all of them.

Atuatewfo adɔ mogyahwiegu mu asukɔ. Mɛtwe wɔn nyinaa aso.

3 I I know Ephraim and Israel not it is hidden from me for now you have prostituted yourself O Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.

Minim Efraim ho nsɛm nyinaa; wɔmfaa Israel nhintaw me ɛ. Efraim, mprempren de wobɔ aguaman; na Israel aporɔw.

4 Not they permit deeds their to return to God their for a spirit of prostitution [is] in inner being their and Yahweh not they know.

“Wɔn nneyɛe mma wɔ kwan mma wɔnnkɔ Nyankopɔn nkyɛn. Aguamammɔ honhom wɔ wɔn koma mu; wonnye Awurade nto mu.

5 And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and Israel and Ephraim they will stumble on iniquity their it will stumble also Judah with them.

Israel ahantan di tia no. Israelfo no, mpo Efraim hintihintiw wɔ wɔn amumɔyɛ mu; Yuda nso ne wɔn hintiw saa ara.

6 With flock[s] their and with herd[s] their they will go to seek Yahweh and not they will find [him] he has withdrawn from them.

Sɛ wɔne wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi kɔhwehwɛ Awurade a Wɔrenhu no, efisɛ watwe ne ho afi wɔn ho.

7 With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.

Wɔanni Awurade nokware. Wɔwowoo aguaman mma. Sɛ wodi wɔn Ɔsram Foforo Afahyɛ a, ɔbɛsɛe wɔn nsase.

8 Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.

“Hyɛn torobɛnto no wɔ Gibea. Hyɛn mmɛn no wɔ Rama. Momma ɔko nteɛmu so wɔ Bet Awen; Benyamin, monsɔre nni anim.

9 Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.

Efraim bɛda mpan wɔ akontaabu da. Israel mmusuakuw no mu no mepae mu ka nea ɛwɔ mu.

10 They have become [the] leaders of Judah like [those who] displace a boundary on them I will pour out like water wrath my.

Yuda sodifo no te sɛ wɔn a woyiyi ahye so abo. Mehwie mʼabufuw agu wɔn so te sɛ nsuyiri.

11 [is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.

Wɔhyɛ Efraim so, wotiatia ne so wɔ atemmu mu, wasi nʼadwene pi sɛ obedi ahoni akyi.

12 And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.

Mɛyɛ sɛ nwewee ama Efraim na mayɛ Yudafo sɛ dua a aporɔw.

13 And he saw Ephraim sickness his and Judah wound his and he went Ephraim to Assyria and he sent to king Jareb and he not he is able to heal you and not it will depart from you [the] wound.

“Bere a Efraim huu ne yare, na Yuda nso huu nʼakuru no, Efraim de nʼani kyerɛɛ Asiria. Ɔsoma kɔɔ ɔhenkɛse no hɔ kɔpɛɛ mmoa. Nanso wantumi ansa no yare, na akuru no nso anwuwu.

14 For I [will be] like lion to Ephraim and like young lion to [the] house of Judah I I I will tear to pieces and I may go I will carry off and there not [will be] a deliverer.

Enti mɛyɛ sɛ gyata ama Efraim na mayɛ sɛ gyata hoɔdenfo ama Yuda. Mɛtetew wɔn mu nketenkete, na makɔ; Mɛsoa wɔn akɔ, na obiara rentumi nnye wɔn.

15 I will go I will return to place my until that they will be held guilty and they will seek face my when it is distress to them they will seek earnestly me.

Afei mɛsan akɔ me nkyi kosi sɛ wobenya ahonu. Na wɔbɛhwehwɛ mʼakyi kwan; wɔn awerɛhow mu, wɔbɛhwehwɛ me anibere so.”
