< Hosea 12 >
1 ʻOku kai ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae matangi, pea ʻoku muimui ki he matangi hahake: ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae loi mo e fakaʻauha, pea ʻoku nau fai ʻae fuakava mo e kau ʻAsilia, pea ʻoku ʻave ʻae lolo ki ʻIsipite.
Efraim de mframa ayɛ aduan; odi apuei mframa akyi daa na odi atoro yɛ akakabensɛm bebree. Ɔne Asiria yɛ apam na ɔde ngo kɔ Misraim.
2 ʻOku ai foki ʻae fakakikihi ʻa Sihova mo Siuta, pea te ne tautea ʻa Sēkope ʻo fakatatau ki hono ngaahi hala; ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi faianga, te ne totongi kiate ia.
Awurade wɔ sobo de bɔ Yuda; ɔbɛtwe Yakob aso wɔ nʼakwan ho na watua no ne nneyɛe so ka.
3 Naʻa ne kuku ʻae muivaʻe ʻo hono taʻokete ʻi he manāva, pea ʻi hono mālohi naʻa ne lavaʻi ʻae ʻOtua:
Ɔyafunu mu na osoo ne nua nantin; onyinii no, ɔne Onyankopɔn peperee so.
4 ʻIo, naʻa ne mālohi ki he ʻāngelo, pea ne lavaʻi: naʻa ne tangi, pea ne lotu tāumaʻu kiate ia: naʻa ne ʻilo ia ʻi Peteli, pea naʻa ne folofola kiate kitautolu ʻi ai.
Ɔne ɔbɔfo tentam dii ne so nkonim; ɔde nusu srɛɛ ne nkyɛn adom. Ohuu no wɔ Bet-El ne no kasaa wɔ hɔ.
5 ʻIo, ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi; ko Sihova ko hono fakamanatu ia.
Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn, Awurade ne ne din a ahyeta!
6 Ko ia, tafoki koe ki ho ʻOtua: fai ki he ʻaloʻofa mo e fakamaau, pea tatali ki ho ʻOtua maʻuaipē.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wosan kɔ wo Nyankopɔn nkyɛn. Tena ɔdɔ ne trenee mu, na twɛn wo Nyankopɔn daa.
7 Ko e tangata fakatau ia, ʻoku ʻi hono nima ʻae meʻa fua tautau ʻoe kākā: ʻoku ne manako ke fakamālohiʻi.
Oguadini de asisi nsania yɛ nʼadwuma; nʼani gye asisi ho.
8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIfalemi, “Kuo hoko au ʻo koloaʻia, kuo u ʻilo maʻaku ʻae meʻa lahi: ʻi heʻeku ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ai ha hia ʻiate au ke angahala.”
Efraim hoahoa ne ho sɛ, “Meyɛ ɔdefo; manya me ho. Mʼahonya nyinaa mu wɔrenhu amumɔyɛ biara wɔ me ho.”
9 “Pea ko au, ko Sihova, ko ho ʻOtua, mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, te u toe ngaohi koe ke nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga mamafa.
“Mene Awurade wo Nyankopɔn, a miyii wo fii Misraim. Mɛma woakɔtena ntamadan mu bio sɛnea na woyɛ wɔ wʼaponto afahyɛ nna mu no.
10 Kuo u lea foki ʻi he kau palōfita, pea kuo u fakalahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa hā mai, pea kuo u lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā, ʻi he ngāue ʻae kau palōfita.
Mekasa kyerɛɛ adiyifo, memaa wɔn anisoadehu bebree na mefaa wɔn so kaa mmebusɛm.”
11 ʻOku ai ʻae hia ʻi Kiliati? Ta ko e moʻoni ko e vaʻinga ʻakinautolu: ʻoku nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga pulu ʻi Kilikali; ʻio, ko honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻoku hangē ko e fokotuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi luo ʻoe ngoue.
Gilead yɛ otirimɔdenfo ana? Emu nnipa no yɛ ahuhufo! Wɔde anantwi bɔ afɔre wɔ Gilgal ana? Wɔn afɔremuka bɛyɛ te sɛ abo a wɔahɔre no siw wɔ asase a wɔafuntum so.
12 Pea naʻe hola ʻa Sēkope ki he fonua ʻo Silia, pea naʻe tauhi ʻe ʻIsileli ke maʻu ha uaifi, pea ke maʻu ha uaifi naʻa ne tauhi sipi.
Yakob guan kɔɔ Aramfo asase so; Israel som de nyaa ɔyere, ɔhwɛɛ nguan de tuaa ti nsa.
13 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite ʻi ha palōfita, pea ʻi ha palōfita naʻe fakamoʻui ia.
Awurade nam odiyifo so yii Israel fii Misraim, ɔnam odiyifo so hwɛɛ no.
14 Naʻe fakatupu ʻiate ia ʻae houhau fakamamahi ʻe ʻIfalemi: ko ia te ne tuku hono toto ʻiate ia, pea ko hono manuki ʻe toe liliu kiate ia ʻe hono ʻEiki.
Nanso Efraim ahyɛ no abufuw yayaayaw; nʼAwurade bɛma ne mogyahwiegu ho afɔdi ada no so na obetua nʼanimtiaabu no so ka.
