1 Tsã la, ne Efraim ɖe gbe la, dukɔwo ʋuʋuna nyanyanya, elabena wodoe ɖe dzi le Israel, gake edze Baal subɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ me eye wòku.
‌ʻI he lea tetetete ʻa ʻIfalemi, naʻa ne hakeakiʻi ia ʻe ia ʻi ʻIsileli; ka ʻi heʻene talangataʻa ia Peali, ne mate ia.
2 “Ke azɔ la, woƒe aglãdzedze la va de ŋgɔ. Wotsɔ woƒe klosalo na aɖaŋuwɔlawo, ame siwo lolõ wo tsɔ wɔ legbawo le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nunya nu. Wogblɔ tso dukɔ sia ŋu be wotsɔa amegbetɔ saa vɔe, eye wogbugbɔa nu na nyivilegbawo.
Pea ʻoku nau angahala ni ʻo lahi hake, pea kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻaki ʻa ʻenau siliva kuo haka, pea mo e ngaahi tamapua ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ʻilo, ko e ngāue kotoa pē ia ʻae kau tufunga: ʻoku nau pehē ki ai, ‘Tuku ʻae kau tangata ʻoku feilaulau ke ʻuma ki he fanga pulu siʻi.’
3 Wo katã woabu vĩi abe afu ene, eye woaƒu enumake abe ahũ ene; woakaka abe ale si ya kakana atsakiti ene, eye woabu abe dzudzɔ ene.
Ko ia te nau hangē ko e ʻao ʻoe pongipongi, pea hangē ko e hahau ʻoe hengihengi ʻoku mole atu, hangē ko e kafukafu kuo tafi ʻe he ʻahiohio mei he hahaʻanga, pea hangē ko e ʻahu mei he ngotoʻumu.
4 “Nye ɖeka koe nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, eye alea ko mele tso esime ke mekplɔ mi do goe tso Egipte. Mawu bubu aɖeke mele mia si o, negbe nye ko, elabena ɖela aɖeke meli kpe ɖe ŋutinye o.
“Ka ko Sihova au, ko ho ʻOtua, mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ʻikai te ke ʻilo ha ʻotua kehe ka ko au pe: he ʻoku ʻikai mo ha fakamoʻui ka ko au pe.
5 Mekpɔ mia ta le gbedzi, le kuɖiɖinyigba ma dzi.
“Naʻaku ʻilo koe ʻi he toafa, ʻi he fonua ʻoe laʻāina lahi.
6 Ke esi mieɖu nu ɖi ƒo vɔ la, dada yɔ mia me, mieŋlɔm be,
‌ʻO fakatatau ki heʻenau mohuku, naʻa nau mākona; naʻa nau mākona, pea naʻe hiki hake honau loto; ko ia kuo nau fakangaloʻi au.
7 eya ta mava dze mia dzi abe dzata ene, made xa ɖe mɔ to na mi abe lãklẽ ene.
Ko ia te u hangē ko e laione kiate kinautolu: hangē ko e lēpati ʻi he hala te u lamasi ʻakinautolu:
8 Madze wo dzi abe sisiblisinɔ si ƒe viwo wofi dzoe ene, mavuvu wo akɔ ɖi abe dzatanɔ ene. Lã wɔadã aɖe avuvu wo viwo akɔ ɖi.
Te u fakafetaulaki mo kinautolu hangē ko e pea, kuo fakamasiva ʻi he ʻave ʻene fānau, pea te u haeʻi ʻae kofu ʻo honau mafu, pea te u folo ʻakinautolu ʻi ai ʻo hangē ko e laione; ʻe haehae ʻakinautolu ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe vao.
9 “O Israel, ètsrɔ̃ ɖokuiwò, elabena ètso ɖe nye, wò xɔnametɔ ŋu.
“ʻE ʻIsileli, kuo ke fakaʻauha koe ʻe koe: ka ʻoku ʻiate au hoʻo tokoni.
10 Afi ka miaƒe fia la le? Nu ka wɔ miayɔe ne wòaxɔ na mi o? Afi ka miaƒe dumegãwo katã le? Ame siwo ŋuti miegblɔ le be, ‘Na fia kple dumegãwo mí’ la le? Eya ta miyɔ wo woava xɔ na mi!
Te u hoko ko ho tuʻi: kofaʻā ia ha taha kehe te ne fakamoʻui koe ʻi ho ngaahi kolo kotoa pē? Pea mo hoʻo kau fakamaau ʻaia naʻa mou pehē ai, ‘Foaki mai ha tuʻi mo e houʻeiki?’
11 Le nye dziku me, meɖo fia na mi, eye megaxɔe le mia si le nye dɔmedzoe me.
Naʻaku foaki ha tuʻi kiate koe ʻi hoku houhau, pea naʻaku toʻo ia ʻi heʻeku tuputāmaki.
12 Woƒo Efraim ƒe vodadawo nu ƒu, eye wodzra eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖo ɖe agbalẽ me.
Kuo tākai ʻae hia ʻa ʻIfalemi; kuo fufū ʻene angahala.
13 Efraim se veve abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la ene, gake ele abe vi manyanu ene, elabena ne eƒe ɣeyiɣi de la, medoa ta ɖe vidzidɔ nu o.
Ko e ngaahi mamahi ʻae fefine ʻoku langā ʻe hoko kiate ia: ko e foha vale ia; ʻe ʻikai lelei ʻene nofo fuoloa ʻi he potu ʻoku hao ai ʻae fānau.
14 “Maɖe wo tso tsiẽƒe ƒe ŋusẽ me, eye maxɔ wo le ku ƒe asi me. O ku, afi ka wò ŋɔdzi la le? O tsiẽƒe, afi ka wò gbegblẽ la le? Elabena nyemakpɔ nublanui o. (Sheol h7585)
Te u huhuʻi ʻakinautolu mei he mālohi ʻoe faʻitoka; te u huhuʻi ʻakinautolu mei he mate! ʻE mate, te u hoko ko ho maumauʻi? ʻE faʻitoka, te u hoko ko ho fakaʻauha? “ʻE puli ʻae fakatomala mei hoku mata. (Sheol h7585)
15 “Togbɔ be eyae de ŋgɔ wu le nɔviawo dome hã la, ɣedzeƒeya tso Yehowa gbɔ aƒo tso gbegbe ava. Eƒe tsiwo amie, eye vudowo me aƒu kplakplakpla. Woaha eƒe nudzraɖoƒewo, eye woalɔ eƒe kesinɔnuwo adzoe.
Neongo ʻoku faʻa fua ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kāinga, ʻe hoko ha matangi hahake, ʻe haʻu ʻae matangi ʻa Sihova mei he toafa, pea ʻe maha ʻa ʻene matavai, pea ʻe matuʻu ʻe ʻene vai mapunopuna; te ne maumau ʻae koloa ʻoe ngaahi ipu lelei kotoa pē.
16 Samaria azu aƒedo, elabena edze aglã ɖe Mawu ŋu. Woatsi yi nu, woalé vidzĩwo axlã ɖe anyi woaku, eye woako woƒe funɔwo kple yi agbagbee.”
‌ʻE hoko ʻo lala ʻa Samēlia; he kuo ne angatuʻu ki hono ʻOtua: te nau tō ʻi he heletā: ʻe lailai ke iiki ʻa ʻenau fānau kei huhu, pea ko honau kau fefine ʻoku feitama ʻe haehae.”
