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:
Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuHoseya indodana kaBeyeri ensukwini zaboUziya, uJothamu, uAhazi, uHezekhiya, amakhosi akoJuda, lensukwini zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaJowasi inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
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.”
Ukuqala kwelizwi leNkosi ngoHoseya. INkosi yasisithi kuHoseya: Hamba uzithathele umfazi wobuwule, labantwana bobuwule; ngoba ilizwe liyawula kakhulu ngokungayilandeli iNkosi.
3 Kanaafuu inni dhaqee Goomer intala Diblaayiim fuudhe; isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesseef.
Wasehamba wathatha uGomeri indodakazi kaDibilayimi; wasekhulelwa, wamzalela indodana.
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.
INkosi yasisithi kuye: Biza ibizo layo uthi nguJizereyeli, ngoba kuseseyisikhatshana ngizaphindisela icala legazi leJizereyeli phezu kwendlu kaJehu, ngiwuqede umbuso wendlu kaIsrayeli.
5 Gaafas ani Sulula Yizriʼeel keessatti iddaa Israaʼel nan cabsa.”
Kuzakuthi ngalolosuku ngephule idandili likaIsrayeli esigodini seJizereyeli.
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.
Wasebuya ekhulelwa, wazala indodakazi. UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: Biza ibizo layo uthi nguLo-Ruhama, ngoba kangisayikubuya ngihawukele indlu kaIsrayeli, kodwa ngizabasusa lokubasusa.
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.”
Kodwa ngizayihawukela indlu yakoJuda, ngibasindise ngeNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo; njalo kangiyikubasindisa ngedandili, loba ngenkemba, loba ngempi, ngamabhiza, kumbe ngabagadi bamabhiza.
8 Goomer erga Loo-Ruhaamaa harma guusiftee booddee ulfooftee ilma deesse.
Esemlumulile uLo-Ruhama, wakhulelwa, wazala indodana.
9 Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Isin waan saba koo hin taʼinii fi anis Waaqa keessan hin taʼiniif Loo-Amii jedhii isa moggaasi.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Biza ibizo layo uthi nguLo-Ami; ngoba kalisibo abantu bami, ngakho mina kangisuye owenu.
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.
Kube kanti inani labantwana bakoIsrayeli lizakuba ngangetshebetshebe lolwandle elingeke lilinganiswe elingeke libalwe. Njalo kuzakuthi, endaweni yokuthi kuthiwe kubo: Kalisibo abantu bami; kuzakuthiwa kubo: Lingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
11 Guyyaan Yizriʼeel waan guddaa taʼuuf, sabni Yihuudaatii fi sabni Israaʼel deebiʼanii tokko taʼu; isaan hoogganaa tokko muuddatanii biyya sana keessaa ni baʼu.
Ngakho abantwana bakoJuda labantwana bakoIsrayeli bazabuthaniswa ndawonye, bazimisele inhloko eyodwa, benyuke baphume elizweni. Ngoba luzakuba lukhulu usuku lweJizereyeli.
