UHoseya 9
1 Ungajabuli, wena Israyeli, kube yinjabulo, njengezizwe, ngoba uwulile usuka kuNkulunkulu wakho; uthanda umvuzo wobuwule emabaleni wonke okubhulela amabele.
Nni ahurisie, Ao Israel; nsɛpɛ wo ho te sɛ aman a aka no. Ɛfiri sɛ woanni wo Onyankopɔn nokorɛ, wʼani gye adwamammɔ ho wɔ ayuporobea nyinaa so.
2 Ibala lokubhulela lesikhamelo sewayini kakuyikubondla, lewayini elitsha lizabakhohlisa.
Ayuporobea ne nsakyimena rentumi mma nnipa no aduane; nsã foforɔ nso bɛbɔ wɔn.
3 Kabayikuhlala elizweni leNkosi, kodwa uEfrayimi uzabuyela eGibhithe, badle okungcolileyo eAsiriya.
Wɔrentena Awurade asase no so bio; Efraim bɛsane akɔ Misraim na wadi aduane a ɛho nteɛ wɔ Asiria.
4 Kabayikuthululela iwayini eNkosini, kabayikuyithokozisa; imihlatshelo yabo izakuba njengesinkwa sokulila kubo; bonke abasidlayo bazangcola; ngoba isinkwa sabo ngesomphefumulo wabo, kasiyikufika endlini yeNkosi.
Wɔremmɔ ahwiesa afɔdeɛ mma Awurade, na wɔn afɔrebɔ nso nsɔ nʼani. Saa afɔrebɔ yi bɛyɛ sɛ aduane a ayiasefoɔ de wɔn nsa aka; wɔn a wɔdi nyinaa ho bɛgu fi. Saa aduane no bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa dea na wɔrentumi mmfa nkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
5 Lizakwenzani ngosuku lomkhosi omisiweyo, langosuku lwedili leNkosi?
Ɛdeɛn na mobɛyɛ wɔ mo apontoɔ da no ne Awurade afahyɛ nna no nso?
6 Ngoba khangela, bahambile ngenxa yokuchitheka, iGibhithe izababutha, iMofi ibangcwabe, izindawo zabo eziloyisekayo zesiliva, ukhula oluhlabayo luzakudla ilifa lazo, ameva abe semathenteni abo.
Mpo sɛ wɔdwane firi ɔsɛeɛ mu a Misraim bɛboaboa wɔn ano, na Memfis bɛsie wɔn. Wɔn dwetɛ ahonyadeɛ bɛfu wira, na wɔn ntomadan adane nkasɛɛ.
7 Insuku zokuhanjelwa sezifikile, insuku zempindiselo sezifikile; uIsrayeli uzakwazi; umprofethi uyisithutha, umuntu womoya uyahlanya, ngenxa yobunengi bobubi benu, lenzondo enkulu.
Asotwe nna no reba, akontabuo nna no aduru; ma Israel nhunu yei. Esiane mo bɔne bebrebe ne mo akokoakoko a adɔɔso enti mofa no sɛ odiyifoɔ yɛ kwasea na deɛ honhom akanyane noɔ no yɛ ɔbɔdamfoɔ.
8 Umlindi wakoEfrayimi uloNkulunkulu wami, kodwa umprofethi uyisifu somthiyi wenyoni endleleni zakhe zonke, inzondo endlini kaNkulunkulu wakhe.
Odiyifoɔ no ne me Onyankopɔn yɛ Efraim so wɛmfoɔ, nanso wɔasum no afidie wɔ nʼakwan nyinaa so, na ɔtane ahyɛ ne Onyankopɔn fie ma.
9 Bazonakalisile ngokujulileyo njengensukwini zeGibeya. Uzakhumbula ububi babo, ajezise izono zabo.
Wɔaduru porɔeɛ bunu mu, sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ wɔ Gibea nna no mu. Onyankopɔn bɛkae wɔn atirimuɔden na watwe wɔn aso wɔ wɔn bɔne ho.
10 Ngamthola uIsrayeli njengezithelo zevini enkangala, ngababona oyihlo njengezithelo zokuqala emkhiweni ekuqaleni kwazo. Kodwa bona baya eBhali-Peyori, bazehlukanisela lelohlazo, baba ngokunengekayo njengokuthanda kwabo.
“Ɛberɛ a mehunuu Israel no, na ɛte sɛ deɛ mahunu bobe wɔ anweatam so; ɛberɛ a mehunuu mo agyanom no, na ɛte sɛ deɛ mahunu borɔdɔma aba a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ ne dua so. Nanso ɛberɛ a wɔbaa Baal-peor nkyɛn no wɔdwiraa wɔn ho maa ohoni nimguaseni no. Wɔn ho yɛɛ abofono te sɛ ohoni a wɔdɔ no no.
11 NgoEfrayimi, udumo lwabo luzaphapha luhambe njengenyoni, kusukela ekuzalweni, njalo kusukela esiswini, njalo kusukela ekumithweni.
Efraim animuonyam bɛtu akɔ sɛ anomaa, nyinsɛn ne awoɔ nni ne mu.
12 Loba bekhulisa abantwana babo, kube kanti ngizabenza bafelwe, kungasali muntu. Yebo-ke, maye kubo ekusukeni kwami kubo!
Mpo sɛ wɔtete mmɔfra a, mɛma mmɔfra no awuwu wɔ wɔn nsa mu. Wɔnnue, sɛ meyi mʼani firi wɔn so a!
13 UEfrayimi, njengokubona kwami iTire, uhlanyelwe endaweni yokuhlala; kodwa uEfrayimi uzakhuphela abantwana bakhe kumbulali.
Mahunu Efraim te sɛ Tiro, a ɛda baabi a ɛyɛ. Nanso Efraim de ne mma bɛbrɛ okumfoɔ no.”
14 Banike, Nkosi! Uzanikani? Banike isizalo esiphunzayo, lamabele omileyo.
Fa ma wɔn, Ao, Awurade, ɛdeɛn na wode bɛma wɔn? Ma wɔn yafunu a ɛpɔn ne nufoɔ a nufosuo nni muo.
15 Bonke ububi babo buseGiligali, ngoba ngabazonda khona, ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zabo, ngizabaxotsha endlini yami, kangisayikubathanda; zonke iziphathamandla zabo zingabahlamuki.
“Wɔn atirimuɔdensɛm nyinaa a wɔdii wɔ Gilgal enti, mefaa wɔn ho tan wɔ hɔ. Wɔn nnebɔne enti mɛpam wɔn afiri me fie. Merennɔ wɔn bio; ɛfiri sɛ wɔn ntuanofoɔ nyinaa yɛ atuatefoɔ.
16 UEfrayimi utshayiwe; impande yabo yomile, kabayikuthela isithelo; yebo loba bezala, ngizabulala izithelo zesizalo sabo ezithandekayo.
Efraim agyigya, ne nhini akusa, enti wɔnso aba. Sɛ wɔwo mma mpo a, mɛkunkum wɔn mma a wɔdɔ wɔn no.”
17 UNkulunkulu wami uzabala, ngoba kabamlaleli; bazakuba ngabazulayo phakathi kwezizwe.
Me Onyankopɔn bɛpo wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔannyɛ ɔsetie amma no; Wɔbɛkyinkyini aman no mu.
