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.
Bere a Usia, Yotam, Ahas ne Hesekia yɛ ahemfo wɔ Yuda, na Yoas babarima Yeroboam di hene wɔ Israel no, Awurade de saa nsɛm yi baa Beeri babarima Hosea nkyɛn.
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.”
Bere a Awurade dii kan kasa faa Hosea so no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔware oguamanfo, na wo ne no nwo, efisɛ ɔman no di aguamammɔ ho fɔ na wɔnam so atetew wɔne Onyankopɔn ntam.”
3 Ale Hosea yi ɖaɖe Gomer, Dioblaim ƒe vinyɔnu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi nɛ.
Enti, ɔwaree Diblaim babea Gomer, na onyinsɛn woo ɔbabarima maa no.
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.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “To ne din Yesreel, efisɛ, merebɛtwe ɔhene Yehufi aso, de atua awu a odii wɔ Yesreel no so ka. Na mede Israel ahenni bɛba awiei.
5 Gbe ma gbe la, magbã Israel ƒe ŋusẽ le Yezreel ƒe balime.”
Saa da no, mebubu Israel tadua wɔ Yesreel bon no mu.”
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,
Gomer nyinsɛnee bio, na ɔwoo ɔbabea. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Hosea se, “To ne din Lo-ruhama efisɛ, merenna me dɔ adi nkyerɛ Israelfo bio, na meremfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn koraa.
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.”
Nanso meyi me dɔ akyerɛ Yudafo. Me Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn, mede me tumi begye wɔn afi wɔn atamfo nsam a meremfa tadua, afoa anaa ɔko anaa apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔsotefo.”
8 Esi Gomer tso no na Loruhama vɔ la, egafɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi.
Bere a Gomer twaa Lo-ruhama nufu akyi no, ɔwoo ɔba barima foforo.
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.
Na Awurade kae se, “To ne din Lo-ami, efisɛ monnyɛ me nkurɔfo na mennyɛ mo Nyankopɔn.
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.’
“Nanso Israelfo bɛyɛ sɛ mpoano nwea a wontumi nkan wɔn. Faako a wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Monnyɛ me nkurɔfo’ no, wɔbɛka se, ‘Moyɛ Onyankopɔn teasefo no mma.’
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.”
Na Yudafo ne Israelfo bɛka abɔ mu bio, na wobeyi ɔkwankyerɛfo baako ama wɔn, na wɔn nyinaa bɛsan afi nnommum no mu aba. Saa da no bɛyɛ da kɛse ama Yesreel.”
