Hosea 8
1 “Mitsɔ kpẽ la ɖo nu! Egbɔna abe hɔ̃ ene ɖe Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ŋu, elabena wotu nye nubabla la hetsitre ɖe nye seawo ŋu.
A trumpe be in thi throte, as an egle on the hous of the Lord; for that that thei yeden ouer my boond of pees, and braken my lawe.
2 Azɔ la, Israel le ɣli dom nam be, ‘Míaƒe Mawu, kpe ɖe mía ŋuti!’
Thei clepiden me to helpe, A! my God, we Israel han knowe thee.
3 Gake Israel gbe nu le nu si nyo la gbɔ; azɔ la, eƒe futɔwo ati eyome.
Israel hath cast awei good, the enemye schal pursue hym.
4 Woɖo fiawo, gake womebia gbem hafi o, eye wotia dumegã siwo dzi nyemeda asi ɖo o. Wotsɔ woƒe klosalo kple sika wɔ legbawoe na wo ɖokui hena woawo ŋutɔ ƒe tsɔtsrɔ̃.
Thei regnyden, and not of me; thei weren princes, and Y knew not. Thei maden her gold and siluer idols to hem, that thei schulden perische.
5 O Samaria, tsɔ wò nyivilegba si nèwɔ la ƒu gbe. Nye dɔmedzoe le bibim ɖe wo ŋu. Gbe ka gbe miana mia ŋuti nakɔ?
A! Samarie, thi calf is cast awei; my strong veniaunce is wrooth ayens hem. Hou long moun thei not be clensid?
6 Nu siawo dzɔ tso Israel, nyivilegba si gbede tu la, menye Mawu o, eya ta woagbã Samaria ƒe nyivi la gudugudu.
for also it is of Israel. A crafti man made it, and it is not god; for the calf of Samarie schal be in to webbis of ireyns.
7 “Woƒã ya, eya ta woaŋe ahomya. Woƒe bliwo magbã ahadza o, eya ta ahɔ̃litiwo matse ku o, eye ne bli anɔ blitikpui aɖewo ŋu hã la, amedzrowo ahae aɖu.
For thei schulen sowe wynd, and thei schulen repe whirlewynd. A stalke stondynge is not in hem, the seed schal not make mele; that if also it makith mele, aliens schulen ete it.
8 Israel gbã gudugudu, ɖeko wòle dukɔwo dome abe nu maɖinu ene,
Israel is deuouryd; now Israel is maad as an vnclene vessel among naciouns,
9 elabena wodzo yi Asiria hele tsatsam abe gbetedziwo ene. Efraim tsɔ eɖokui dzra na ahiãviwo.
for thei stieden to Assur. Effraym is a wielde asse, solitarie to hym silf. Thei yauen yiftis to louyeris;
10 Togbɔ be wodzra wo ɖokuiwo na dukɔwo hã la, magaƒo wo nu ƒu azɔ. Woakpe fu le fiagã la kple dumegãwo ƒe teteɖeanyi ta.
but also with meede thei hiriden naciouns. Now Y schal gadere hem togidere, and thei schulen reste a litil fro birthun of the kyng and of princes.
11 “Efraim tu vɔsamlekpui geɖewo, hena nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, gake menye nyee wòtu wo na o. Wotu wo hena nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ.
For Efraym multipliede auteris to do synne, auteris weren maad to hym in to trespas.
12 Ne mede se akpe ewo nɛ hã la, ɖeko wòagblɔ be menye yee wode seawo na o, ke boŋ ame bubuwoe wode wo na.
Y schal write to hem my many fold lawis, that ben arettid as alien lawis.
13 Wowua nye vɔsalãwo hena lã la ɖuɖu, gake woƒe nu menyoa Yehowa ŋu o. Azɔ aɖo ŋku woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi dzi, eye wòahe to na wo ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃ ta, ale woagatrɔ ayi Egipte.
Thei schulen brynge sacrifices, thei shulen offre, and ete fleischis; and the Lord schal not resseyue tho. Now he schal haue mynde on the wickidnessis of hem, and he schal visite the synnes of hem; thei schulen turne in to Egipt.
14 Israel ŋlɔ eƒe wɔla be, eye wòtu fiasã gã dranyiwo. Yuda ɖo gli sesẽwo ƒo xlã eƒe duwo. Maɖo dzo ɖa wòafia woƒe duwo, eye wòabi woƒe mɔ sesẽwo.”
And Israel foryat his makere, and bildide templis to idols, and Judas multipliede stronge citees; and Y schal sende fier in to the citees of hym, and it schal deuoure the housis of hym.
