< Hosea 1 >

1 Esiawoe nye gbedeasi siwo va na Hosea, Beeri ƒe vi la le Yuda fia ene siawo ŋɔli: Uzia, Yotam, Ahaz kple Hezekia. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me ke Yoas ƒe vi Yeroboam nye fia le Israel.
The word of the Lord that was maad to Osee, the sone of Bery, in the daies of Osie, Joathan, Achas, Ezechie, kingis of Juda, and in the daies of Jeroboam, sone of Joas, the kyng of Israel.
2 Gbedeasi gbãtɔe nye esi: Yehowa gblɔ na Hosea be, “Yi nàɖe ɖetugbi aɖe si nye gbolo, ale be vi siwo wòadzi na wò la, woanye ahasiviwo. Esia aɖe alakpanu siwo wɔm nye dukɔ la le ɖe ŋutinye la afia, wowɔ ahasi to mawu bubuwo subɔsubɔ me, eye wotrɔ le Yehowa yome.”
The bigynnyng of the spekyng to the Lord in Osee. And the Lord seide to Osee, Go thou, take to thee a wijf of fornycaciouns, and make to thee sones of fornycaciouns, for the lond doynge fornicacioun schal do fornicacioun fro the Lord.
3 Ale Hosea yi ɖaɖe Gomer, Dioblaim ƒe vinyɔnu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi nɛ.
And he yede, and took Gomer, the douyter of Debelaym; and sche conseyuede, and childide a sone to hym.
4 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Hosea be, “Tsɔ ŋkɔ nɛ be Yezreel, elabena madidi o la, mahe to na Yehu ƒe aƒe la le ʋu si wokɔ ɖe anyi le Yezreel ta, eye matsi Israel ƒe fiaɖuƒe la nu.
And the Lord seide to hym, Clepe thou the name of hym Jesrael; for yit a litil and Y schal visite the blood of Jesrael on the hous of Hieu, and Y schal make to reste the rewme of the hous of Israel.
5 Gbe ma gbe la, magbã Israel ƒe ŋusẽ le Yezreel ƒe balime.”
And in that dai Y schal al to-breke the bowe of Israel in the valei of Jesrael.
6 Sẽe kple sẽe la, Gomer gafɔ fu, eye wòdzi nyɔnuvi. Yehowa gblɔ na Hosea be, “Tsɔ ŋkɔ nɛ be Loruhama, si gɔmee nye, ‘Nyemagakpɔ nublanui nɛ o,’ elabena nyemagakpɔ nublanui na Israel, atsɔ vɔ̃ akee o,
And sche conseyuede yit, and childide a douyter. And the Lord seide to hym, Clepe thou the name of hir With out merci, for Y schal no more leye to, for to haue merci on the hous of Israel, but bi foryetyng Y schal foryete hem.
7 gake makpɔ nublanui na Yuda. Nye ŋutɔ mawɔ aʋa kple woƒe futɔwo, aɖe wo le woƒe asi me, gake menye to dati, yi, aʋawɔnuwo, sɔ kple sɔdolawo dzi o, ke boŋ to Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la dzi.”
And Y schal haue merci on the hous of Juda, and Y schal saue hem in her Lord God; and Y schal not saue hem in bowe, and swerd, and batel, and in horsis, and in horse men, ether kniytis.
8 Esi Gomer tso no na Loruhama vɔ la, egafɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi.
And he wenyde hir that was With out merci. And sche conseyuede, and childide a sone to hym.
9 Yehowa gblɔ na Hosea be, “Tsɔ ŋkɔ nɛ be Loami, si gɔmee nye, ‘Menye tɔnyee o,’ elabena Israel menye tɔnye o, eye nye hã nyemenye eƒe Mawu o.
And he seide, Clepe thou his name Not my puple, for ye schulen not be my puple, and Y schal not be youre God.
10 “Ɣeyiɣi li gbɔna esi Israel akpɔ dzidzedze, azu dukɔ gã aɖe; le ɣe ma ɣi me la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu axlẽ wo o, elabena woasɔ gbɔ abe ƒutake ene! Ale be, le esi megblɔ na wo be, ‘Mienye nye dukɔ o’ teƒe la, magblɔ na wo be, ‘Mienye vinyewo, Mawu Gbagbe la ƒe viwo.’
And the noumbre of the sones of Israel schal be as grauel of the see, which grauel is with out mesure, and it schal not be noumbrid; and it schal be in the place, where it schal be seid to hem, Ye ben not my puple; it schal be seid to hem, Ye ben the sones of God lyuynge.
11 Ekema Yudatɔwo kple Israelviwo awɔ ɖeka, eye woaɖo fia ɖeka; wo katã woatrɔ tso aboyome ɖekae, eye Yezreel ƒe ŋkeke la anye ŋkeke gã aɖe ŋutɔ.”
And the sones of Juda and the sones of Israel schulen be gaderid togidere, and thei schulen sette oon heed to hem silf, and thei schulen stie fro erthe, for the dai of Jesrael is greet.
