Hosea 6
1 “Miva, mina míatrɔ ayi Yehowa gbɔ, elabena eyae vuvu mí, eya koe ate ŋu ayɔ dɔ mi. Eyae de abi mía ŋuti, eye eyae abla abi la na mí.
In her tribulacioun thei schulen rise eerli to me. Come ye, and turne we ayen to the Lord;
2 Le ŋkeke eve megbe la, agbɔ agbe mí, le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, aɖo mí te, eye míanɔ agbe le eŋkume!
for he took, and schal heele vs; he schal smyte, and schal make vs hool.
3 Mina míatrɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu. Mina míadze agbagba be míanyae, eye abe ale si ɣedzedze kple kelemetsi medana le edzi o ene la, nenema ke kakaɖedzi li be magbe tɔtɔ na mí o.”
He schal quykene vs after twei daies, and in the thridde dai he schal reise vs, and we schulen lyue in his siyt. We schulen wite, and sue, that we knowe the Lord. His goyng out is maad redi at the morewtid, and he schal come as a reyn to vs, which is timeful and lateful to the erthe.
4 “O, Efraim, nu ka mawɔ na wò, O, Yuda, nu ka mawɔ kpli wò?
Effraym, what schal Y do to thee? Juda, what schal Y do to thee? Youre merci is as a cloude of the morewtid, and as deew passynge forth eerli.
5 Medɔ nye nyagblɔɖilawo ɖa, wolã mi kakɛkakɛe, eye metsɔ nye numenyawo wu mii; nye ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ake dzo ɖe mia dzi abe dzikedzo ene,
For this thing Y hewide in profetis, Y killide hem in the wordis of my mouth;
6 elabena nublanuikpɔkpɔ dim mele, menye vɔsa o, eye sidzedze Mawu dim mele wu numevɔsawo,
and thi domes schulen go out as liyt. For Y wolde merci, and not sacrifice, and Y wolde the kunnyng of God, more than brent sacrificis.
7 gake abe Adam ene la, mietu nye nubabla la, eye miewɔ nuteƒe o.
But thei as Adam braken the couenaunt; there thei trespassiden ayens me.
8 Gilead nye nu tovo wɔlawo ƒe du, eye ʋu si woƒe afɔwo ƒo la ɖe ɖe woƒe ablɔwo dzi.
Galaad the citee of hem that worchen idol, is supplauntid with blood; and
9 Dua me nɔlawo katã nye adzoblasuwo sɔŋ, eye wode xa ɖi na ame siwo woɖo be yewoafi. Nunɔlawo ƒe hawo hã de xa ɖe Sekem mɔ dzi le amewo wum, eye wole nu vɔ̃ ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe wɔm.
as the chekis of men `that ben theues. Partener of prestis sleynge in the weie men goynge fro Sichem, for thei wrouyten greet trespasse.
10 Nyateƒe, mekpɔ nu dziŋɔwo le Israel. Efraim wɔ ahasi to mawu bubuwo yometiti me, eye Israel ya bliba ɖe ŋunyɔnu me.
In the hous of Israel Y siy an orible thing; there the fornicaciouns of Effraym.
11 “O, Yuda, woɖo nuŋeɣi ɖi na wò hã. “Ne megaɖo nye dukɔ ƒe nunyonamewo te,
Israel is defoulid; but also thou, Juda, sette heruest to thee, whanne Y schal turne the caitiftee of my puple.
