1 O Israel, migakpɔ dzidzɔ abe ame bubuwo ene o, elabena miegbe miaƒe Mawu la hesa vɔ na mawu bubuwo, eye mielɔ̃ gbolowo ƒe nunanawo le lugbɔƒe ɖe sia ɖe.
May not you rejoice O Israel - to rejoicing like the peoples for you have prostituted yourself from with God your you have loved [the] hire of a prostitute on all threshing floors of grain.
2 Lugbɔƒewo kple wainfiaƒewo mana nuɖuɖu amewo o, eye woƒe aha yeye agblẽ.
Threshing floor and wine-press not it will feed them and new wine it will fail it.
3 Miaganɔ anyigba si nye Yehowa tɔ la dzi o, Efraim atrɔ ayi Egipte, eye woaɖu nu makɔmakɔwo le Asiria.
Not they will remain in [the] land of Yahweh and he will return Ephraim Egypt and in Assyria unclean [food] they will eat.
4 Le afi sia la, womaɖe mɔ be miatsɔ wain asa vɔe na Yehowa o, elabena vɔsa siwo katã woawɔ le afi ma la ƒe ɖeke madze eŋu o; vɔsa siawo ŋuti mekɔ o, ɖeko wole abe kuteƒenuɖuɖu ene, eye ame siwo katã ɖui la, woawo hã ŋuti mekɔ o. Woate ŋu aɖu nu siawo be woaɖi ƒo, gake menye be woatsɔe asa vɔe le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me o.
Not they will pour out to Yahweh - wine and not they will be pleasing to him sacrifices their [will be] like bread of mourning to them all [those who] eat it they will make themselves unclean for bread their [will be] for self their not it will go [the] house of Yahweh.
5 Ekema nu ka miawɔ le ŋkeke kɔkɔewo kple Yehowa ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo dzi?
What? will you do to [the] day of an appointed feast and to [the] day of [the] festival of Yahweh.
6 Elabena ne wosi le gbegblẽ nu la, Egipte aƒo wo nu ƒu, eye Memfis aɖi wo. Woƒe klosalonu veviwo alé ɣebia, eye aŋɔka avu atsyɔ woƒe agbadɔwo dzi.
For there! they have gone from [the] devastation Egypt it will gather them Memphis it will bury them treasure of silver their nettle[s] it will take possession of them thorn[s] [will be] in tents their.
7 Toheɣi na Israel ɖo vɔ; nu vɔ̃ ƒe akɔntanaɣi ɖo vɔ, eye kpuie la, Israel anya nu si wònye. Esi wò nu vɔ̃wo li kɔ gleglegle, eye fuléle yɔ mewò fũu ta la, nyagblɔɖila zu bometsila, eye ame si me Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ le la zu tsukunɔ.
They have come - [the] days of punishment they have come [the] days of retribution let them know Israel [is] a fool the prophet [is] mad [the] person of the spirit on [the] greatness of iniquity your and great animosity.
8 Meɖo nyagblɔɖilawo be woadzɔ Efraim ŋu, gake dukɔ la xe mɔ na wo le mɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu, woɖe woƒe fulélewo fia le dutoƒo, eye wowɔ esia hã le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me gɔ̃ hã.
[was] a watchman Ephraim with God my a prophet a trap of a fowler [is] on all ways his animosity [is] in [the] house of God his.
9 Nu tovo siwo wɔm nye dukɔ le la, le abe movinu siwo wowɔ le Gibea gbe aɖe gbe va yi ene. Mawu aɖo ŋku woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo dzi, eye wòahe to na wo le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.
They have made deep they have dealt corruptly like [the] days of Gibeah he will remember iniquity their he will punish sins their.
10 “Esi medo go Israel la, enɔ nam abe waintsetse le gbegbe ene; esi medo go wo fofowo la, enɔ nam abe gbotsetse gbãtɔ le gboti dzi ene. Ke esi wova Baal Peor gbɔ la, wotsɔ wo ɖokuiwo na ŋukpenalegba la eye woɖi gbɔ̃ abe legba si ŋu woku ɖo la ene.
Like grapes in the wilderness I found Israel like early fig[s] on a fig tree at beginning its I saw ancestors your they they came Baal Peor and they devoted themselves to shame and they were detestable things as loved they.
11 Efraim ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dzo, dzo abe xevi ene, eya ta womadzi vi o, womafɔ fu o, eye womado fu hã o
Ephraim like bird it will fly away glory their from child bearing and from womb and from conception.
12 eye ne viwòwo tsi la, maxɔ wo le asiwò, atsrɔ̃ wo. Baba na mi, ne metrɔ dzo le mia gbɔ. Anye blanuiléle ƒe ŋkeke.
That except they will bring up children their and I will bereave them from everyone for also woe! to them when depart I from them.
13 Mekpɔ Efraim, wodɔe ɖe teƒe dzeani aɖe abe Tiro ene, gake Efraim akplɔ viawo ade asi na amewula.”
Ephraim just as I have seen to Tyre [is] planted in pastureland and Ephraim to bring out to [one who] kills children his.
14 O Yehowa, nu ka nàtsɔ ana wò amewo? Nu siwo nàtsɔ na wo lae nye vidzidɔ si mate ŋu atsɔ fu o kple no siwo me notsi manɔ o.
Give to them O Yahweh what? will you give give to them a womb [which] miscarry and breasts [which] dry up.
15 “Woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ katã dze egɔme le Gilgal, eye afi mae nye hã megbe nu le wo gbɔ le. Manya wo le nye anyigba dzi le woƒe ahasiwɔwɔ ta. Nyemagalɔ̃ wo azɔ o, elabena woƒe amegãwo katã nye aglãdzelawo.

16 Efraim, tsɔtsrɔ̃ tu wò. Israel, wò kewo katã yrɔ, màgatse ku azɔ o, eye ne èdzi vi hã la, mawu ɖevi si gbɔ womelɔ̃ nu le o.”
He has been struck Ephraim root their it has dried up fruit (not *Q(K)*) they will produce! also if they [masc] will give birth! and I will put to death [the] precious things of [masc] womb their.
17 Nye Mawu agbe Israelviwo, elabena wogbe be yewomaɖo toe o. Woazu tsatsalawo, kple aƒemanɔsitɔwo le dukɔwo dome.
