Hooseʼaa 1
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan bara Uziyaan, Yootaam, Aahaaziitii fi Hisqiyaas mootota Yihuudaa keessa, akkasumas bara Yerobiʼaam ilma Yooʼaash mooticha Israaʼel keessa gara Hooseʼaa ilma Biʼeer dhufe kanaa dha:
Ɛberɛ a Usia, Yotam, Ahas ne Hesekia yɛ ahemfo wɔ Yuda, na Yoas babarima Yeroboam di ɔhene wɔ Israel no, Awurade de saa nsɛm yi baa Beeri babarima Hosea nkyɛn.
2 Yeroo Waaqayyo karaa Hooseʼaatiin dubbachuu jalqabetti Waaqayyo akkana isaan jedhe; “Sababii biyyattiin Waaqayyo irraa gortee yakka sagaagalummaa guddaa isaa hojjetteef ati dhaqiitii niitii sagaagaltuu fi ijoollee hin amanamne ofii keetiif fudhadhu.”
Ɛberɛ a Awurade dii ɛkan kasa faa Hosea so no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔware odwamanfoɔ, na wo ne no nwo, ɛfiri sɛ ɔman no di adwamammɔ ho fɔ na wɔnam so atete wɔ ne Onyankopɔn ntam.”
3 Kanaafuu inni dhaqee Goomer intala Diblaayiim fuudhe; isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesseef.
Enti, ɔwaree Diblaim babaa Gomer, na ɔnyinsɛnee, woo ɔbabarima maa no.
4 Kana irratti Waaqayyo Hooseʼaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani sababii dhiiga Yizriʼeel keessatti dhangalaʼe sanaatiif dafee mana Yehuu waanan adabuuf Yizriʼeel jedhii isa moggaasi; ani mootummaa Israaʼel nan balleessa.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “To ne din Yesreel, ɛfiri sɛ, merebɛtwe ɔhene Yehu fie aso, de atua awudie a ɔdii wɔ Yesreel no so ka. Na mede Israel ahennie bɛba awieeɛ.
5 Gaafas ani Sulula Yizriʼeel keessatti iddaa Israaʼel nan cabsa.”
Saa ɛda no, mɛbubu Israel tadua wɔ Yesreel bɔnhwa no mu.”
6 Goomer amma illee ulfooftee intala deesse. Waaqayyo Hooseʼaatiin akkana jedhe; “Sababii ani isaaniif araaramuu fi siʼachis mana Israaʼeliif garaa hin laafneef Loo-Ruhaamaa jedhii ishee moggaasi.
Gomer nyinsɛnee bio, na ɔwoo ɔbabaa. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Hosea sɛ, “To ne din Lo-ruhama ɛfiri sɛ, merenna me dɔ adi nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ mma bio, na meremfa wɔn ho nnkyɛ wɔn koraa.
7 Taʼus ani mana Yihuudaatiif garaa nan laafa; ani xiyyaan yookaan goraadeedhaan yookaan waraanaan yookaan fardeeniin yookaan abbootii fardaatiin isaan hin oolchu; garuu ani Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii isaan nan oolcha.”
Nanso, mɛyi me dɔ akyerɛ Yudafoɔ. Me Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn, mede me tumi bɛgye wɔn afiri wɔn atamfoɔ nsam a meremfa tadua, akofena anaa ɔko anaa apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ.”
8 Goomer erga Loo-Ruhaamaa harma guusiftee booddee ulfooftee ilma deesse.
Ɛberɛ a Gomer twaa Lo-ruhama nufoɔ akyi no, ɔwoo ɔba barima foforɔ.
9 Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Isin waan saba koo hin taʼinii fi anis Waaqa keessan hin taʼiniif Loo-Amii jedhii isa moggaasi.
Na Awurade kaa sɛ, “To ne din Lo-ami, ɛfiri sɛ monnyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mennyɛ mo Onyankopɔn.
10 “Taʼus Israaʼel akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa kan madaalamuu yookaan hedamuu hin dandaʼamnee taʼa. Isaan iddoodhuma itti, ‘Isin saba koo miti’ isaaniin jedhame sanatti, ‘Ilmaan Waaqa jiraataa’ jedhamanii ni waamamu.
“Nanso, Israelfoɔ bɛyɛ sɛ mpoano anwea a wɔntumi nkane wɔn. Beaeɛ a wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Monnyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ’ no, wɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Moyɛ Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ mma.’
11 Guyyaan Yizriʼeel waan guddaa taʼuuf, sabni Yihuudaatii fi sabni Israaʼel deebiʼanii tokko taʼu; isaan hoogganaa tokko muuddatanii biyya sana keessaa ni baʼu.
Na Yudafoɔ ne Israelfoɔ bɛka abɔ mu bio, na wɔbɛyi ɔkwankyerɛfoɔ baako ama wɔn, na wɔn nyinaa bɛsane afiri nnommum no mu aba. Saa ɛda no bɛyɛ da kɛseɛ ama Yesreel.”
