Hosea 7
1 Ne medi be mada gbe le Israel ŋu la, ekema Efraim ƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzea go, eye wokloa nu le Samaria ƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi, elabena woblea ame, gbãa ʋɔ, fia fi, eye wodaa adzo le mɔtata dzi.
When heal I Israel and it is revealed [the] iniquity of Ephraim and [the] evil deeds of Samaria for they do falsehood and a thief he comes it attacks a marauding band in the street.
2 Dua me tɔwo hã mede dzesii be nye ŋku le woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ dzi o. Woƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖe to ɖe wo godoo va kpe, eya ta mele wo katã kpɔm.
And not they say to heart their all evil their I remember now they have surrounded them deeds their before face my they are.
3 “Wotsɔa woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ doa nukokoe na fia la, eye dumegãwo kpɔa dzidzɔ koa nu le woƒe alakpadadawo ta.
By evil their they make glad [the] king and by lies their princes.
4 Wo katã wonye ahasitɔwo sɔŋ. Abe ale si abolomela doa kpodzo wòbinae va se ɖe esime eƒe abolomɔ la ho hafi wòlɔnɛ ene la, nenema ke ame siawo ƒe dzi nɔa bibim ɖe ahasiwɔwɔ ŋu.
All of them [are] adulterers like an oven burning from a baker [who] he ceases stirring up from kneading [the] dough until is leavened it.
5 Le miaƒe fia ƒe ŋkekenyui dzi la, dumegãwo noa wain muna hebɔa ha kple fewuɖulawo.
[the] day of King our they became sick princes fever from wine he stretched out hand his with scorners.
6 Woƒe dziwo bina abe kpodzo ene, eye woyia egbɔ le ayedzedze me. Woƒe didiwo ɖea fu na wo le zã blibo la me eye le ŋdi la, wonɔna abe dzo ƒe aɖewo ene.
For they have brought near like oven heart their in ambush their all the night [is] sleeping baker their morning it [is] burning like a fire of flame.
7 Wo katã woxɔ dzo abe kpodzo ene, eye wofiaa woƒe kplɔlawo. Woƒe fiawo katã mu dze anyi, gake ɖeke meyɔm kpɔ o.
All of them they are hot like oven and they devour rulers their all kings their they have fallen there not [is one who] calls among them to me.
8 “Efraim tsaka kple dukɔ bubuwo, eye wòle abe abolo si mebi nyuie o la ene.
Ephraim among the peoples he he mixes himself Ephraim he has become a bread cake not turned over.
9 Du bubu me tɔwo xɔ ŋusẽ le esi, gake menya o. Efraim ƒe ɖa le wɔ ƒom, gake menya gɔ̃ hã be yele tsitsim le gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔm o.
They have consumed strangers strength his and he not he knows also gray hair it has sneaked in on him and he not he knows.
10 Israel ƒe dada le ɖase dim le eŋuti; esi nu siawo katã le dzɔdzɔm hã la, metrɔ va Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la gbɔ be yeadii o.
And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and not they have returned to Yahweh God their and not they have sought him for all this.
11 “Efraim le abe ahɔnɛ movitɔ aɖe ene, eyɔa Egipte be wòakpe ɖe ye ŋuti, eye wòdzona yia Asiria.
And he has become Ephraim like a dove silly there not [is] heart Egypt they have called Assyria they have gone.
12 Gake ne woyi la, matsɔ nye ɖɔ atsyɔ wo; maɖiɖi wo ava anyie abe xevi si le dzodzom le yame ene. Ne mese wole ƒu ƒom la, mayi aɖalé wo.
Just when they will go I will spread over them net my like [the] bird[s] of the heavens I will bring down them I will chasten them according to a report to assembly their.
13 Baba na mi, nye amewo, elabena miegbem; mana woatsrɔ̃ mi, elabena miedze aglã ɖe ŋutinye! Medi vevie be maɖe wo, gake woda alakpa ɖe asinye.
Woe! to them for they have fled from me devastation [belongs] to them for they have transgressed against me and I I will redeem them and they they have spoken on me lies.
14 Womedo ɣli nam tso woƒe dzi me o, ke wofa avi le woƒe abawo dzi. Woƒoa ƒu ɖe bli kple aha yeye ŋuti, ke nye la, wotrɔ le yonyeme.
And not they have cried out to me with heart their if they wail on beds their on grain and new wine they assemble themselves they turn aside against me.
15 Nyee he wo, eye mena wokpɔ ŋusẽ, gake azɔ la, wotsi tsitre ɖe ŋutinye.
And I I instructed [them] I strengthened arms their and against me they plot evil.
16 Wometrɔ ɖe Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ŋu o. Wole abe dati si daa dadagbo la ene, eya ta woƒe kplɔlawo atsi yi nu ɖe nya vlo si dona le woƒe nu me la ta. Esia ta woaɖe alɔme le wo ŋuti le Egiptenyigba dzi.
They turn - not height they have become like a bow of slackness they will fall by the sword leaders their from [the] indignation of tongue their this [will be] mockery their in [the] land of Egypt.
