UHoseya 2
1 Khulumani kubafowenu lithi: Ami; lakubodadewenu lithi: Ruhama.
“Frɛ wo nuabarimanom, ‘Me nkurɔfo’ na frɛ wo nuabeanom, ‘Mʼadɔfo.’”
2 Phikisanani lonyoko, liphikise, ngoba kasuye umkami, lami kangisiyo indoda yakhe, ukuthi asuse ukuwula kwakhe phambi kwami, lokufeba kwakhe ngaphakathi kwamabele akhe,
“Ka wo na anim, ka nʼanim, na ɔnyɛ me yere na menyɛ ne kunu. Ma ɔnsesa nʼanim a ayɛ aguaman anim no na onnyae awaresɛe a ɔde ne nufu yɛ no.
3 hlezi ngimhlubule abe nqunu, ngimbeke abe njengosukwini lokuzalwa kwakhe, ngimenze afanane lenkangala, ngimbeke njengelizwe elomileyo, ngimbulale ngokoma.
Anyɛ saa a mɛpa ne ho ntama na wada adagyaw te sɛ da a wɔwoo no no; mɛma wayɛ sɛ nweatam, mɛdan no asase a awo wosee na mama osukɔm akum no.
4 Labantwana bakhe kangiyikubahawukela, ngoba bangabantwana bobufebe.
Merennɔ ne mma, efisɛ wɔyɛ aguaman mma.
5 Ngoba unina uwulile, owabazalayo wenzile ihlazo; ngoba wathi: Ngizazilandela izithandwa zami, ezingipha ukudla kwami, lamanzi ami, uboya bezimvu bami, lefilakisi yami, amafutha ami, lokunathwayo kwami.
Wɔn na anyɛ ɔnokwafo na onyinsɛnee wɔn wɔ animguase mu. Ɔkae se, ‘Medi mʼadɔfo akyi, wɔn a wɔma me aduan ne nsu, ne kuntu ne nwera, ngo ne nsa.’
6 Ngakho, khangela, ngizabiya indlela yakho ngameva, ngimakhele umduli ukuze angatholi imikhondo yakhe.
Eyi nti, mede nsɔe besiw no kwan; mɛto ɔfasu afa ne ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenhu kwan.
7 Alandele izithandwa zakhe, kodwa angazifici; uzazidinga, kodwa angazitholi. Abesesithi: Ngizahamba ngibuyele endodeni yami yokuqala, ngoba kwakungcono kimi ngalesosikhathi kulakhathesi.
Obetiw nʼadɔfo, nanso ɔrento wɔn; ɔbɛhwehwɛ wɔn, nanso ɔrenhu wɔn. Afei, ɔbɛka se, ‘Mɛsan akɔ me kunu nkyɛn, te sɛ kan no, efisɛ, saa bere no na eye ma me sen mprempren.’
8 Ngoba wayengazi ukuthi mina ngamnika amabele, lewayini elitsha, lamafutha, ngamandisela isiliva legolide, abalisebenzisela uBhali.
Ɔnkae sɛ me na memaa no aduan, nsa foforo ne ngo, nea ɔmaa sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ buu no so ma wɔde kɔsom Baal no.
9 Ngakho ngizabuyela, ngithathe amabele ami ngesikhathi sawo, lewayini lami elitsha ngesikhathi salo esimisiweyo, ngihluthune uboya bezimvu bami lefilakisi yami okwembesa ubunqunu bakhe.
“Enti sɛ mʼaduan no du twabere a mɛfa mʼade, ne me nsa foforo no nso saa ara. Megye me kuntu ne me nwera, a anka mepɛ sɛ ɔde kata nʼadagyaw so no.
10 Khathesi sengizakwambula ihlazo lakhe emehlweni ezithandwa zakhe, njalo kungabi khona omophulayo esandleni sami.
Enti afei mɛbɔ no adagyaw wɔ nʼadɔfo anim; obiara rentumi nnye no mfi me nsam.
11 Sengizaqeda intokozo yakhe yonke, amadili akhe, ukuthwasa kwenyanga zakhe, lamasabatha akhe, lemikhosi yakhe yonke emisiweyo.
Metwa nʼafahyɛ nyinaa so: nʼafirihyia afahyɛ, Ɔsram Foforo afahyɛ Homeda afahyɛ ne nʼafahyɛ ahorow nyinaa.
12 Sengizachitha ivini lakhe lomkhiwa wakhe, atsho ngakho ukuthi: Lokhu kungumvuzo wobuwule bami izithandwa zami ezinginike khona; kodwa ngizakwenza kube ligusu, ukuze inyamazana zeganga zikudle.
Mɛsɛe ne bobe ne borɔdɔma nnua, nea ɔka se nʼadɔfo de tuaa no ka no; mɛyɛ ne nyinaa nkyɛkyerɛ, ama wuram mmoa awe.
13 Njalo ngizaphindisela phezu kwakhe insuku zaboBhali, ayebatshisela ngazo impepha, ezicecisa ngamasongo akhe langamangqongqo akhe, walandela izithandwa zakhe, kodwa wangikhohlwa, itsho iNkosi.
Mɛtwe nʼaso wɔ nna a ɔhyew aduhuam maa Baal no ho; ɔde nkaa ne agude hyehyɛɛ ne ho, tu dii nʼadɔfo akyi, me de, ne werɛ fii me,” nea Awurade se ni.
14 Ngakho, khangela, ngizamhuga, ngimuse enkangala, ngikhulume enhliziyweni yakhe.
“Enti merekɔdaadaa no; mede no bɛkɔ nweatam so na makasa bɔkɔɔ akyerɛ no wɔ hɔ.
15 Ngibe sengimnika izivini zakhe kusukela lapho, lesihotsha seAkori, sibe ngumnyango wethemba. Njalo uzahlabela lapho njengensukwini zobutsha bakhe, lanjengosuku lokwenyuka kwakhe elizweni leGibhithe.
Mɛsan de ne bobe mfuw ama no. Mɛyɛ no Sɛkyɛ Bon, anidaso pon. Ɛhɔ na ɔbɛto dwom sɛnea na ɔyɛ ne mmabun bere mu no ne bere a ofii Misraim no.
16 Kuzakuthi ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, ungibize uthi: Ndoda yami; ungabe usangibiza ngokuthi: Bhali wami.
“Saa da no,” sɛɛ na Awurade se, “Wobɛfrɛ me ‘me kunu’; na woremfrɛ me ‘me wura’ bio.
17 Ngoba ngizasusa amabizo aboBhali emlonyeni wakhe, bangabe besakhunjulwa futhi ngebizo labo.
Meyi Baal ahorow din no afi nʼano; na ɔrenkankye wɔ wɔn din mu bio.
18 Langalolosuku ngizabenzela isivumelwano lenyamazana zeganga lenyoni zamazulu lezinto ezihuquzelayo zomhlaba; ngephule idandili, lenkemba, lempi kusuke emhlabeni, ngibalalise phansi bevikelekile.
Saa da no, mɛyɛ apam ama wɔn, wɔne wuram mmoa ne wim nnomaa ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔ asase so. Tadua, mpeaw ne ɔko, mɛbra wɔ asase no so, sɛnea wɔn nyinaa bɛtena ase asomdwoe mu.
19 Njalo ngizakugana ube ngowami kuze kube phakade, yebo, ngikugane ube ngowami ngokulunga langesahlulelo langothandolomusa langezihawu.
Mɛware wo afebɔɔ; mɛda trenee ne atɛntrenee, ahummɔbɔ ne ayamhyehye adi akyerɛ wo.
20 Yebo, ngizakugana ube ngowami ngothembeko; njalo uzayazi iNkosi.
Mɛware wo nokware mu, ama woahu Awurade.
21 Kuzakuthi ngalolosuku, ngizaphendula, itsho iNkosi, ngizaphendula amazulu, wona aphendule umhlaba,
“Saa da no, megye wo so,” nea Awurade se ni. “Megye ɔsoro so, na ɔsoro de osu begye asase so,
22 lomhlaba uphendule amabele lewayini elitsha lamafutha, khona kuphendule uJizereyeli.
na asase nso begye nnɔbae so: bobe foforo ne ngodua, na wɔn nso agye so se ‘Yesreel’, ‘Onyankopɔn na wadua.’
23 Besengizihlanyelela yena emhlabeni, ngibe lomusa phezu kongazuzanga umusa, ngithi kwababengasibantu bami: Lina lingabantu bami; bona bathi: Nkulunkulu wami.
Mede Israel bedua asase no so ama me ho; mɛda me dɔ adi akyerɛ nea mekae se, ‘wonyɛ me dɔfo’ no. Mɛka akyerɛ wɔn a misee wɔn sɛ ‘monyɛ me nkurɔfo’ no se ‘moyɛ me nkurɔfo,’ na wɔn nso aka se, ‘Wone me Nyankopɔn.’”
