Hosea 5

1 Preestis, here ye this, and the hous of Israel, perseyue ye, and the hous of the kyng, herkne ye; for whi doom is to you, for ye ben maad a snare to lokyng afer, and as a net spred abrood on Thabor.

“Montie mo asɔfoɔ! Monhyɛ yei nso, mo Israelfoɔ! Monyɛ aso, Ao adehyefie! Saa atemmuo yi tia mo: Moayɛ afidie wɔ Mispa, ne asau a wɔagu no Tabor so.

2 And ye bowiden doun sacrifices in to depthe; and Y am the lernere of alle hem.

Atuatefoɔ adɔ mogyahwiegu mu asukɔ. Mɛtwe wɔn nyinaa aso.

3 Y knowe Effraym, and Israel is not hid fro me; for now Effraym dide fornicacioun, Israel is defoulid.

Menim Efraim ho nsɛm nyinaa; wɔmfaa Israel nhintaa me. Efraim, seesei deɛ wobɔ adwaman; na Israel aprɔ.

4 Thei schulen not yiue her thouytis, that thei turne ayen to her God; for the spirit of fornicacioun is in the myddis of hem, and thei knewen not the Lord.

“Wɔn nneyɛeɛ mma wɔn ɛkwan mma wɔnkɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn. Adwamammɔ honhom wɔ wɔn akoma mu; wɔnnye Awurade nto mu.

5 And the boost of Israel schal answere in to the face therof, and Israel and Effraym schulen falle in her wickidnesse; also Judas schal falle with hem.

Israel ahantan di tia no. Israelfoɔ, mpo Efraim suntisunti wɔ wɔn amumuyɛ mu; Yuda nso ne wɔn sunti saa ara.

6 In her flockis, and in her droues thei schulen go to seke the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde; he is takun awei fro hem.

Sɛ wɔne wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie kɔhwehwɛ Awurade a Wɔrenhunu no, ɛfiri sɛ, watwe ne ho afiri wɔn ho.

7 Thei trespassiden ayens the Lord, for thei gendriden alien sones; now the monethe schal deuoure hem with her partis.

Wɔanni Awurade nokorɛ. Wɔwowoo adwamam mma. Afei wɔn Bosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ bɛsɛe wɔn ne wɔn nsase.

8 Sowne ye with a clarioun in Gabaa, with a trumpe in Rama; yelle ye in Bethauen, after thi bak, Beniamyn.

“Hyɛn totorobɛnto no wɔ Gibea. Hyɛn abɛn no wɔ Rama. Momma ɔko nteam so wɔ Bet Awen; Ao, Benyamin akofoɔ, monsɔre nni anim.

9 Effraym schal be in to desolacioun, in the dai of amendyng, and in the lynagis of Israel Y schewide feith.

Wɔbɛsɛe Efraim wɔ akontabuo da. Israel mmusuakuo no mu no mepae mu ka deɛ ɛwom.

10 The princes of Juda ben maad as takynge terme; Y schal schede out on hem my wraththe as watir.

Yuda sodifoɔ no te sɛ wɔn a wɔyiyi ahyeɛso aboɔ. Mɛhwie mʼabufuo agu wɔn so te sɛ nsuyire.

11 Effraym suffrith fals chalenge, and is brokun bi doom; for he bigan to go after filthis.

Wɔhyɛ Efraim so, wɔtiatia ne so wɔ atemmuo mu, wasi nʼadwene pi sɛ ɔbɛdi ahoni akyi.

12 And Y am as a mouyte to Effraym, and as rot to the hous of Juda.

Mɛyɛ sɛ nweweboa ama Efraim na mayɛ Yudafoɔ sɛ dua a aporɔ.

13 And Effraym siy his sikenesse, and Judas siy his boond. And Effraym yede to Assur, and sente to the kyng veniere. And he mai not saue you, nether he mai vnbynde the boond fro you.

“Ɛberɛ a Efraim hunuu ne yadeɛ, na Yuda nso hunuu nʼakuro no, Efraim de nʼani kyerɛɛ Asiria. Ɔsoma kɔɔ ɔhene kɛseɛ no hɔ kɔpɛɛ mmoa. Nanso wantumi ansa no yadeɛ, na akuro no nso anwuwu.

14 For Y am as a lionesse to Effraym, and as a whelp of a lioun to the hous of Juda.

Enti mɛyɛ sɛ gyata ama Efraim na mayɛ sɛ gyata hoɔdenfoɔ ama Yuda. Mɛtete wɔn mu nkete nkete, na makɔ; Mɛsoa wɔn akɔ, na obiara rentumi nnye wɔn.

15 Y my silf schal take, and go, and take awei, and noon is that schal delyuere. I schal go, and turne ayen to my place, til ye failen, and seken my face.

Afei, mɛsane akɔ me nkyi kɔsi sɛ wobɛnya ahonu. Na wɔbɛhwehwɛ mʼakyiri ɛkwan; wɔn awerɛhoɔ mu, wɔbɛhwehwɛ me anibereɛ so.”
