UHoseya 7
1 Lapho bengingelapha uIsrayeli, khona isiphambeko sikaEfrayimi sembulwa, lobubi beSamariya; ngoba benza amanga, lesela liyangena, leviyo labaphangi liyaphanga ngaphandle.
bere biara a mɛsa Israel yare no, Efraim nnebɔne da adi. Samaria awurukasɛm nso da adi. Wɔyɛ nnaadaafo akorɔmfo a wobubu adan ani kɔ afi mu, ne akwamukafo a wɔbɔ korɔn wɔ mmɔnten so.
2 Njalo kabangatsho enhliziyweni yabo ukuthi ngiyabukhumbula bonke ububi babo. Khathesi izenzo zabo zibahanqile, ziphambi kobuso bami.
Na wonhu sɛ mekae wɔn nnebɔne nyinaa. Wɔn bɔne bunkam wɔn so; egu mʼanim bere biara.
3 Bayayithokozisa inkosi ngobubi babo, leziphathamandla ngamanga abo.
“Wɔde atirimɔdensɛm gyigye ɔhene no ani, na wɔde atoro nso gyigye ahenemma no ani.
4 Bonke bayafeba; banjengeziko elibaselwa ngumphekizinkwa, oyekela ukukhwezela umlilo kusukela ekuxoveni inhlama kuze kube sekubileni kwayo.
Wɔn nyinaa yɛ aguamammɔfo a akɔnnɔ redɛw wɔ wɔn mu. Wɔte sɛ fononoo a wɔasɔ mu gya bere a brodotofo ahyɛ ase refɔtɔw nʼasikresiam.
5 Kulusuku lwenkosi yethu; iziphathamandla ziyigulise ngokutshisa kwewayini; yelulela isandla sayo kanye labaklolodayo.
Da a ɔhene rehyɛ fa no ahenemma bow nsa, na ɔhene no fɛwdifo ne wɔn bɔ mu goru.
6 Ngoba zalungisa inhliziyo yazo njengeziko ngokucathamela kwazo; umphekizinkwa wazo ulala ubusuku bonke; ekuseni libhebhe njengomlilo olelangabi.
Wɔn koma te sɛ fononoo; wɔde atirimpɔw bɔne kɔ ɔhene anim. Wɔn nsusuwii bɔne no dɛɛdɛɛ anadwo mu nyinaa; anɔpa, ɛdɛw te sɛ ogyatannaa.
7 Zonke ziyatshisa njengeziko; zidle abehluleli bazo; amakhosi azo wonke awile; kakulamuntu phakathi kwazo ongibizayo.
Wɔn nyinaa ayɛ hyew sɛ fononoo. Wokunkum wɔn sodifo. Wɔn ahemfo nyinaa hwehwe ase na wɔn mu biara nsu mfrɛ me.
8 UEfrayimi yena uzihlanganise lezizwe; uEfrayimi uliqebelengwana elingaphendulwanga.
“Efraim ne aman no adi afra; Efraim yɛ ɔfam a anyinya a wonkisae.
9 Abezizwe badla amandla akhe, kodwa yena kazi. Yebo, inwele ezimpunga zihlakazekile phezu kwakhe, kodwa yena kazi.
Ananafo twe nʼahoɔden, nanso onhu. Dwen aba ne ti so, nanso nʼani mmaa so ɛ.
10 Lokuzigqaja kukaIsrayeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe, kodwa kababuyeli eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo, kabayidingi ngakho konke lokhu.
Israel ahantan di adanse tia no, nanso eyi nyinaa akyi no ɔnnsan nkɔ Awurade ne Nyankopɔn nkyɛn, na ɔnhwehwɛ no nso.
11 Njalo uEfrayimi unjengejuba eliyisiphukuphuku elingelangqondo; bakhalela iGibhithe, baye eAsiriya.
“Efraim te sɛ aborɔnoma, wotumi daadaa no na onni adwene. Ɔfrɛ Misraim, na wadan akɔ Asiria.
12 Lapho behamba ngizakwendlala imbule lami phezu kwabo, ngibehlise njengenyoni zamazulu, ngibajezise njengokwezwakala ebandleni labo.
Sɛ wɔkɔ a, mɛtow mʼasau agu wɔn so; atwe wɔn aba fam te sɛ wim nnomaa. Sɛ mete sɛ wɔretu abɔ mu a, mɛkyere wɔn.
13 Maye kubo, ngoba babalekile kimi! Incithakalo kubo, ngoba baphambukile bemelene lami. Lanxa mina bengingabahlenga, kube kanti bona baqamba amanga bemelene lami.
Nnome nka wɔn, efisɛ wɔatwe wɔn ho afi me ho! Ɔsɛe mmra wɔn so efisɛ wɔatew me so atua! anka mepɛ sɛ migye wɔn nanso wutwa atoro fa me ho.
14 Kabakhaleli-ke kimi ngenhliziyo yabo, lapho beqhinqa isililo emibhedeni yabo; babuthana ngenxa yamabele lewayini elitsha, bayaphambuka bemelene lami.
Wommfi wɔn koma mu nsu mfrɛ me, mmom wotwa adwo wɔ wɔn mpa so. Wɔboaboa wɔn ho ano kɔhwehwɛ aduan ne nsa foforo, nanso wɔtwe wɔn ho fi me ho.
15 Lanxa mina ngibalaya ngiqinisa izingalo zabo, kanti baceba okubi bemelene lami.
Metetew wɔn, hyɛɛ wɔn den, nanso wɔbɔ pɔw bɔne tia me.
16 Bayaphenduka kodwa kunge koPhezukonke; banjengedandili elikhohlisayo; iziphathamandla zabo ziwa ngenkemba ngenxa yentukuthelo yolimi lwabo. Lokhu kuzakuba yinhlekisa yabo elizweni leGibhithe.
Wɔnhwehwɛ Ɔsorosoroni no; wɔte sɛ tadua a asɛe, wɔn ntuanofo bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano efisɛ, wɔnkasa obu so. Eyi nti wobedi wɔn ho fɛw wɔ Misraim asase so.
