1 UIsrayeli ulivini elithululwayo, lizenzela izithelo; njengobunengi bezithelo zakhe wandisa amalathi akhe; ngobuhle belizwe lakhe wenza insika zakhe eziyizithombe zibe zinhle.
Israel yɛɛ bobe a ɛtrɛtrɛw; ɔsow aba maa ne ho. Bere a nʼaba redɔɔso no, osisii afɔremuka bebree; nʼasase rekɔ so yɛ yiye no osiesie nʼabosom dum kronkron no.
2 Iyehlukanisile inhliziyo yabo; khathesi bazakuba lecala; yona izabhidliza amalathi abo, ichithe insika zabo eziyizithombe.
Nnaadaasɛm wɔ wɔn koma mu, nti ɛsɛ sɛ wonya wɔn afɔdi so asotwe. Awurade bebubu wɔn afɔremuka, na wasɛe wɔn abosom dum kronkron no.
3 Ngoba khathesi bazakuthi: Kasilankosi; ngoba kasimesabanga uJehova; pho, inkosi izakwenzani kithi?
Afei, wɔbɛka se, “Yenni ɔhene, efisɛ, yɛamfa nidi amma Awurade. Mpo sɛ na yɛwɔ ɔhene koraa a, dɛn na anka obetumi ayɛ ama yɛn?”
4 Bakhulume amazwi, befunga amanga besenza isivumelwano; ngakho isahlulelo sizahluma njengokhula oluyitshefu emifolweni yensimu.
Wɔhyɛ bɔ ahorow bebree, wɔka ntamhunu na wɔyɛ apam ahorow; ɛno nti mansotwe sɔresɔre te sɛ wura a bɔre wɔ mu a afifi asase a wɔafuntum so so.
5 Abahlali beSamariya bazakwesaba ngenxa yethole leBeti-Aveni; ngoba abantu bayo bazalililela, labapristi balo ababethokoza ngalo, ngodumo lwalo, ngoba lusukile kulo.
Nnipa a wɔte Samaria no suro ma Bet-Awen nantwi ba ohoni no. Ne nkurɔfo besu. Saa ara na nʼakɔmfo nso bɛyɛ, wɔn a wogyee wɔn ani wɔ nʼanuonyam ho no. Efisɛ wɔafa no afi wɔn nkyɛn kɔ nnommum mu.
6 Yebo, lizathwalelwa eAsiriya, libe yisipho enkosini uJarebhi. UEfrayimi uzakuba lenhloni, loIsrayeli ayangeke ngenxa yeseluleko sakhe.
Wɔde no bɛkɔ Asiria, de akɔhyɛ ɔhene kɛse no anuonyam. Ebegu Efraim anim ase; na Israel ani bewu wɔ ne nnua ahoni ho.
7 ISamariya iqunyiwe, lenkosi yayo injengebazelo ebusweni bamanzi.
Samaria na ne hene bɛsen akɔ te sɛ abaa a ɛtɛn nsu ani.
8 Lendawo eziphakemeyo zeAveni, isono sikaIsrayeli, kuzachithwa; ameva lokhula oluhlabayo kuzamila phezu kwamalathi abo. Njalo bazakuthi ezintabeni: Sisibekeleni; lemaqaqeni: Welani phezu kwethu.
Wɔbɛsɛe abosonnan a wodi awurukasɛm ne bɔne wɔ mu no. Nsɔe ne nnɛnkyɛnse befifi hɔ, na akata wɔn afɔremuka so. Afei wɔbɛka akyerɛ mmepɔw se, “Mommɛkata yɛn so!” na wase nkoko se, “Munnwiriw ngu yɛn so!”
9 Kusukela ensukwini zeGibeya wonile, Israyeli; lapho bema; impi eGibeya emelene labantwana bobubi kayibaficanga.
“Efi Gibea bere so, woayɛ bɔne, Israel, na hɔ na woaka. Na ɔko rentwiw amfa amumɔyɛfo a wɔwɔ Gibea no so ana?
10 Kusesiloyisweni sami ukubajezisa; izizwe zizabuthana zimelene labo, lapho ngizababopha ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo ezimbili.
Bere a mepɛ no, mɛtwe wɔn aso; aman bɛboaboa wɔn ho ano atia wɔn. Wɔde mpokyerɛ begu wɔn wɔ wɔn bɔne dodow ho.
11 Njalo uEfrayimi ulithokazi elifundisiweyo, elithanda ukubhula, kodwa mina ngedlule phezu kwentamo yakhe yobuhle; ngigadise uEfrayimi, uJuda uzalima, uJakobe uzaziharela.
Efraim yɛ nantwi ba a wɔayɛn no, a ɔpɛ awiporowbea adwuma, enti mede konnua bɛto ne kɔn fɛɛfɛ mu. Mɛkyerɛ Efraim ɔkwan, ɛsɛ sɛ Yuda funtum asase no, na Yakob nso siesie so.
12 Zihlanyeleleni ekulungeni, livune emuseni; qhathani ingqatho yenu; ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuyidinga iNkosi, ize ifike, inise ukulunga phezu kwenu.
Dua trenee aba ma wo ho, twa ɔdɔ aba a ɛtena hɔ daa, siesie wʼasase a womfuntumii so no; na bere adu sɛ wohwehwɛ Awurade, kosi sɛ ɔbɛba abɛpete trenee agu wo so.
13 Lilime inkohlakalo, lavuna isiphambeko, lidle izithelo zamanga; ngoba lithembele endleleni yenu, ebunengini bamaqhawe enu.
Nanso woadua atirimɔden aba, na woatwa aba bɔne. Woadi nnaadaa aba. Efisɛ wode wo ho ato wʼahoɔden ne wʼakofo bebrebe no so,
14 Ngalokho kuzakuba khona ukuxokozela phakathi kwabantu bakho, lenqaba zakho zonke zizachithwa, njengalokhu uShalimani wachitha iBeti-Aribeli ngosuku lwempi; unina wachotshozwa phezu kwabantwana.
ɔko mu huuyɛ bɛsɔre atia wo nkurɔfo, na wʼaban nyinaa bɛsɛe, sɛnea Salman sɛee Bet Arbel ɔko da no, da a wɔde ɛnanom ne wɔn mma hwehwee fam no.
15 Izakwenza njalo iBhetheli kini, ngenxa yobubi bobubi bakho; emadabukakusa inkosi yakoIsrayeli izaqunywa lokuqunywa.
Saa ara na ɛbɛba wo so, Bet-El, efisɛ wʼatirimɔdensɛm no dɔɔso. Sɛ da no du a, Wɔbɛsɛe Israelhene no koraa.
