Hosea 9

1 May not you rejoice O Israel - to rejoicing like the peoples for you have prostituted yourself from with God your you have loved [the] hire of a prostitute on all threshing floors of grain.

Nni ahurusi, Israel; nsɛpɛw wo ho te sɛ aman a aka no. Efisɛ woanni wo Nyankopɔn nokware, wʼani gye aguamammɔ ho wɔ awiporowbea nyinaa so.

2 Threshing floor and wine-press not it will feed them and new wine it will fail it.

Awiporowbea ne nsakyiamoa rentumi mma nnipa no aduan; nsa foforo nso bɛbɔ wɔn.

3 Not they will remain in [the] land of Yahweh and he will return Ephraim Egypt and in Assyria unclean [food] they will eat.

Wɔrentena Awurade asase no so bio; Efraim bɛsan akɔ Misraim na wadi aduan a ɛho ntew wɔ Asiria.

4 Not they will pour out to Yahweh - wine and not they will be pleasing to him sacrifices their [will be] like bread of mourning to them all [those who] eat it they will make themselves unclean for bread their [will be] for self their not it will go [the] house of Yahweh.

Wɔremmɔ ahwiesa afɔre mma Awurade, na wɔn afɔrebɔ nso nsɔ nʼani. Saa afɔrebɔ yi bɛyɛ sɛ asufo brodo de ama wɔn; wɔn a wodi nyinaa ho begu fi. Saa aduan no bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa dea na wɔrentumi mmfa nkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.

5 What? will you do to [the] day of an appointed feast and to [the] day of [the] festival of Yahweh.

Dɛn na mobɛyɛ wɔ mo aponto da no ne Awurade afahyɛnna no nso?

6 For there! they have gone from [the] devastation Egypt it will gather them Memphis it will bury them treasure of silver their nettle[s] it will take possession of them thorn[s] [will be] in tents their.

Mpo sɛ woguan fi ɔsɛe mu a Misraim bɛboaboa wɔn ano, na Memfis besie wɔn. Wɔn dwetɛ ahonyade befuw wura, na wɔn ntamadan adan nsɔe.

7 They have come - [the] days of punishment they have come [the] days of retribution let them know Israel [is] a fool the prophet [is] mad [the] person of the spirit on [the] greatness of iniquity your and great animosity.

Asotwe nna no reba, akontaabu nna no adu; ma Israel nhu eyi. Esiane mo bɔne bebrebe ne mo akokoakoko a adɔɔso nti mofa no sɛ odiyifo yɛ kwasea, na nea honhom akanyan no no yɛ ɔbɔdamfo.

8 [was] a watchman Ephraim with God my a prophet a trap of a fowler [is] on all ways his animosity [is] in [the] house of God his.

Odiyifo no ne me Nyankopɔn yɛ Efraim so wɛmfo, nanso wɔasum no afiri wɔ nʼakwan nyinaa so, na ɔtan ahyɛ ne Nyankopɔn fi ma.

9 They have made deep they have dealt corruptly like [the] days of Gibeah he will remember iniquity their he will punish sins their.

Wɔadu porɔwee bun mu, sɛnea na ɛte wɔ Gibea nna no mu. Onyankopɔn bɛkae wɔn atirimɔden na watwe wɔn aso wɔ wɔn bɔne ho.

10 Like grapes in the wilderness I found Israel like early fig[s] on a fig tree at beginning its I saw ancestors your they they came Baal Peor and they devoted themselves to shame and they were detestable things as loved they.

“Bere a mihuu Israel no, na ɛte sɛ nea mahu bobe wɔ nweatam so; bere a mihuu mo agyanom no, na ɛte sɛ nea mahu borɔdɔma aba a edi kan wɔ ne dua so. Nanso bere a wɔbaa Baal-Peor nkyɛn no wodwiraa wɔn ho maa ohoni nimguaseni no. Wɔn ho yɛɛ nwini te sɛ ohoni a wɔdɔ no no ara.

11 Ephraim like bird it will fly away glory their from child bearing and from womb and from conception.

Efraim anuonyam betu akɔ sɛ anomaa, nyinsɛn ne awo nni ne mu.

12 That except they will bring up children their and I will bereave them from everyone for also woe! to them when depart I from them.

Mpo sɛ wɔtetew mmofra a, mɛma mmofra no awuwu wɔ wɔn nsa mu. Wonnue, sɛ miyi mʼani fi wɔn so a!

13 Ephraim just as I have seen to Tyre [is] planted in pastureland and Ephraim to bring out to [one who] kills children his.

Mahu Efraim te sɛ Tiro, a ɛda baabi a eye. Nanso Efraim de ne mma bɛbrɛ okumfo no.”

14 Give to them O Yahweh what? will you give give to them a womb [which] miscarry and breasts [which] dry up.

Fa ma wɔn, Awurade, dɛn na wode bɛma wɔn? Ma wɔn ɔyafunu a ɛpɔn ne nufu a nufusu nni mu.

15 All wickedness their [is] in Gilgal for there I hated them on [the] wickedness of deeds their from house my I will drive out them not I will repeat to love them all leaders their [are] rebellious.

“Wɔn atirimɔdensɛm nyinaa a wodii wɔ Gilgal nti, mefaa wɔn ho tan wɔ hɔ. Wɔn nnebɔne nti mɛpam wɔn afi me fi. Merennɔ wɔn bio; efisɛ wɔn ntuanofo nyinaa yɛ atuatewfo.

16 He has been struck Ephraim root their it has dried up fruit (not *Q(K)*) they will produce! also if they [masc] will give birth! and I will put to death [the] precious things of [masc] womb their.

Efraim agyigya, wɔn ntin akisa, nti wɔnsow aba. Sɛ wɔwo mma mpo a, mekunkum wɔn mma a wɔdɔ wɔn no.”

17 He will reject them God my for not they have listened to him so they may be wanderers among the nations.

Me Nyankopɔn bɛpo wɔn, efisɛ, wɔanyɛ osetie amma no; Wobekyinkyin aman no mu.
