Hosea 8
1 To mouth your a horn like eagle over [the] house of Yahweh because they have transgressed covenant my and on law my they have rebelled.
“Monhyɛn totorobɛnto! Ɔkɔdeɛ bi wɔ Awurade fiefoɔ so ɛfiri sɛ nnipa no abu mʼapam so na wɔasɔre atia me mmara.
2 To me they cry out O God my we know you Israel.
Afei, Israel su frɛ me sɛ, ‘Ao, yɛn Onyankopɔn, yɛgye wo to mu!’
3 It has rejected Israel good an enemy he will pursue him.
Nanso, Israel apo deɛ ɛyɛ; ɔtamfoɔ bɛtaa no.
4 They they have made kings and not from me they have installed leaders and not I knew silver their and gold their they have made for themselves idols so that it may be cut off.
Wɔsisi ahemfo a mennim ho hwee wɔpa ahenemma wɔ ɛberɛ a mempenee so. Wɔde wɔn dwetɛ ne wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ yɛ ahoni ma wɔn ho de sɛeɛ wɔn ankasa ho.
5 He has rejected calf your O Samaria it has burned anger my on them until when? not will they be able innocence.
To wo nantwie ba ohoni no twene, Ao, Samaria! Mʼabufuhyeɛ reba wɔn so. Wɔbɛtena deɛ ɛho nteɛ mu, akɔsi da bɛn?
6 For [are] from Israel and it a craftsman he made it and not [is] God it for fragments it will become [the] calf of Samaria.
Wɔfiri Israel! Saa nantwie ba yi, odwumfoɔ bi na ɔseneeɛ; ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn! Wɔbɛbubu mu asinasini, saa Samaria nantwie ba no.
7 For a wind they sow and a storm-wind they will reap standing grain not [belongs] to it growth not it will produce flour perhaps it will produce strangers they will swallow it.
“Wɔdua mframa na wɔtwa ntwahoframa. Awuo a ɛgyina hɔ no nni tire; enti wɔrennya esam mfiri mu. Sɛ ɛso aduane mpo a, ahɔhoɔ na wɔbɛdi.
8 It will be swallowed Israel now they are among the nations like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it.
Wɔamene Israel; afei ɔfra aman no mu te sɛ adeɛ a ɛho nni mfasoɔ biara.
9 For they they have gone up Assyria a wild donkey isolated to itself Ephraim they have hired (lovers *L(abh)*)
Na wɔakɔ Asiria te sɛ wiram afunumu a ɔno nko ara nenam. Efraim nso atɔn ne ho ama adɔfoɔ.
10 also for they will hire among the nations now I will gather them and they have begun a few from [the] burden of a king princes.
Ɛwom, wɔatɔn wɔn ho wɔ amanaman no mu deɛ, nanso mɛboaboa wɔn ano. Wɔn so bɛfiri aseɛ ate wɔ ɔhene kɛseɛ bi nhyɛsoɔ ase.
11 For he has multiplied Ephraim altars for sinning they have become to him altars for sinning.
“Ɛwom sɛ Efraim sisii afɔrebukyia bebree a wɔbɔ bɔne fakyɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so deɛ, ɛno enti abɛyɛ afɔrebukyia a wɔyɛ bɔne wɔ so.
12 (I wrote *Q(k)*) for him ([the] numerous things of *Q(K)*) law my like a strange [thing] they are regarded.
Metwerɛɛ me mmara a ɛfa nneɛma bebree ho maa wɔn, nanso wɔfaa no sɛ ananafoɔ adeɛ.
13 [the] sacrifices of Gifts my they sacrifice flesh and they ate [it] Yahweh not he is pleased with them now he will remember iniquity their so he may punish sins their they Egypt they will return.
Wɔde mʼayɛyɛdeɛ bɔ afɔdeɛ na wɔwe ɛnam no, nanso wɔnsɔ Awurade ani. Afei, ɔbɛkae wɔn atirimuɔdensɛm na watwe wɔn aso wɔ wɔn bɔne ho: Wɔbɛsane akɔ Misraim.
14 And he has forgotten Israel maker his and he has built palaces and Judah he has multiplied cities fortified and I will send fire on cities his and it will consume fortresses his.
Israel werɛ afiri ne yɛfoɔ na wasisi ahemfie akɛseakɛseɛ; Yuda abɔ nkuro bebree ho ban. Nanso, mɛto ne nkuropɔn mu ogya a ɛbɛhye wɔn aban.”
