< Hosea 12 >

1 Efraim ƒua du kplɔa ya ɖo, etia ɣedzeƒeya yome ŋkekea katã, eye wòdzia alakpa kple ŋutasesẽ ɖe edzi. Ebla nu kple Asiria, eye wòɖo ami ɖe Egipte.
‌ʻOku kai ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae matangi, pea ʻoku muimui ki he matangi hahake: ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae loi mo e fakaʻauha, pea ʻoku nau fai ʻae fuakava mo e kau ʻAsilia, pea ʻoku ʻave ʻae lolo ki ʻIsipite.
2 Yehowa tsɔ nya ɖe Yuda hã ŋuti. Woahe to na Yakob hã le eƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo ta, eye woaɖo eƒe nuwɔnawo teƒe nɛ.
‌ʻOku ai foki ʻae fakakikihi ʻa Sihova mo Siuta, pea te ne tautea ʻa Sēkope ʻo fakatatau ki hono ngaahi hala; ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi faianga, te ne totongi kiate ia.
3 Le dɔ me la, elé nɔvia ƒe afɔkpodzi, eye esi wòtsi zu ŋutsu la, ete kame kple Mawu.
Naʻa ne kuku ʻae muivaʻe ʻo hono taʻokete ʻi he manāva, pea ʻi hono mālohi naʻa ne lavaʻi ʻae ʻOtua:
4 Ɛ̃, ete kame kple mawudɔla, eye wòɖu edzi gɔ̃ hã. Efa avi heɖe kuku nɛ be wòayra ye. Edo go Mawu le Betel, ƒo nu kplii le afi ma.
‌ʻIo, naʻa ne mālohi ki he ʻāngelo, pea ne lavaʻi: naʻa ne tangi, pea ne lotu tāumaʻu kiate ia: naʻa ne ʻilo ia ʻi Peteli, pea naʻa ne folofola kiate kitautolu ʻi ai.
5 Yehowa, Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa la ƒo nu nɛ,
‌ʻIo, ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi; ko Sihova ko hono fakamanatu ia.
6 eya ta mitrɔ gbɔ va miaƒe Mawu la gbɔ. Minɔ agbe le nyateƒetoto kple lɔlɔ̃ me, eye miɖo ŋu ɖe miaƒe Mawu la ŋu be wòawɔ nu geɖe na mi.
Ko ia, tafoki koe ki ho ʻOtua: fai ki he ʻaloʻofa mo e fakamaau, pea tatali ki ho ʻOtua maʻuaipē.
7 Alakpanudanu le asitsalawo si, wolɔ̃a amebaba.
Ko e tangata fakatau ia, ʻoku ʻi hono nima ʻae meʻa fua tautau ʻoe kākā: ʻoku ne manako ke fakamālohiʻi.
8 Efraim dana gblɔna be: “Kesinɔtɔ gã aɖee menye! Le nye kesinɔnu gbogboawo ta la, womakpɔ vodada alo nu vɔ̃ le menye o.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIfalemi, “Kuo hoko au ʻo koloaʻia, kuo u ʻilo maʻaku ʻae meʻa lahi: ʻi heʻeku ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ai ha hia ʻiate au ke angahala.”
9 “Yehowa ɖeka kple Mawu ɖeka ma, si ɖe wò tso kluvinyenye me le Egipte lae menye, eye nye kee ana mianɔ agbadɔwo me abe ale si miewɔnɛ ƒe sia ƒe le Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiɖuɖu me ene.
“Pea ko au, ko Sihova, ko ho ʻOtua, mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, te u toe ngaohi koe ke nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga mamafa.
10 Medɔ nye nyagblɔɖilawo be woaxlɔ̃ nu mi to ŋutega, drɔ̃ekuku kple lododowo me.”
Kuo u lea foki ʻi he kau palōfita, pea kuo u fakalahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa hā mai, pea kuo u lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā, ʻi he ngāue ʻae kau palōfita.
11 Ɖe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi le Gilgal mahã? Vavã wonye bometsilawo. Wotsɔ nyitsuwo sa vɔe le Gilead. Ɛ̃, woagbã woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo ali kɔe ɖe agble dzi.
‌ʻOku ai ʻae hia ʻi Kiliati? Ta ko e moʻoni ko e vaʻinga ʻakinautolu: ʻoku nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga pulu ʻi Kilikali; ʻio, ko honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻoku hangē ko e fokotuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi luo ʻoe ngoue.
12 Yakob si yi ɖe Siria, eye Israel subɔ be yeaɖe srɔ̃, eye be yeakpɔ ga abia nyɔnu ta la, ekplɔ alẽ.
Pea naʻe hola ʻa Sēkope ki he fonua ʻo Silia, pea naʻe tauhi ʻe ʻIsileli ke maʻu ha uaifi, pea ke maʻu ha uaifi naʻa ne tauhi sipi.
13 Yehowa kplɔ eƒe dukɔ la do goe le Egipte to nyagblɔɖila aɖe dzi, eye wòdzɔ wo ŋuti, fia mɔ wo,
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite ʻi ha palōfita, pea ʻi ha palōfita naʻe fakamoʻui ia.
14 gake Efraim do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa vevie. Eƒe Aƒetɔ la ana eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒe ʋu nava eƒe ta dzi, eye wòaɖo eteƒe nɛ.
Naʻe fakatupu ʻiate ia ʻae houhau fakamamahi ʻe ʻIfalemi: ko ia te ne tuku hono toto ʻiate ia, pea ko hono manuki ʻe toe liliu kiate ia ʻe hono ʻEiki.
