Hosea 12
1 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.
Efereimu amadya mpweya; tsiku lonse amasaka mphepo ya kummawa ndipo amachulukitsa mabodza ndi chiwawa. Amachita mgwirizano ndi Asiriya ndipo amatumiza mphatso za mafuta a olivi ku Igupto.
2 Awurade wɔ sobo de bɔ Yuda; ɔbɛtwe Yakob aso wɔ nʼakwan ho na watua no ne nneyɛe so ka.
Yehova akuyimba mlandu Yuda; Iye adzalanga Yakobo molingana ndi makhalidwe ake, adzamulanga molingana ndi ntchito zake.
3 Ɔyafunu mu na osoo ne nua nantin; onyinii no, ɔne Onyankopɔn peperee so.
Akali mʼmimba mwa amayi ake, Yakobo anagwira chidendene cha mʼbale wake; iye atakula analimbana ndi Mulungu.
4 Ɔne ɔbɔfo tentam dii ne so nkonim; ɔde nusu srɛɛ ne nkyɛn adom. Ohuu no wɔ Bet-El ne no kasaa wɔ hɔ.
Yakobo analimbana ndi mngelo ndipo anapambana; analira napempha kuti amukomere mtima. Mulungu anakumana naye ku Beteli ndipo anayankhula naye kumeneko,
5 Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn, Awurade ne ne din a ahyeta!
Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, Yehova ndiye dzina lake lotchuka!
6 Ɛsɛ sɛ wosan kɔ wo Nyankopɔn nkyɛn. Tena ɔdɔ ne trenee mu, na twɛn wo Nyankopɔn daa.
Koma inu muyenera kubwerera kwa Mulungu wanu; pitirizani chikondi ndi chiweruzo cholungama, ndipo muzidikira Mulungu wanu nthawi zonse.
7 Oguadini de asisi nsania yɛ nʼadwuma; nʼani gye asisi ho.
Munthu wamalonda amagwiritsa ntchito masikelo achinyengo; iyeyo amakonda kubera anthu.
8 Efraim hoahoa ne ho sɛ, “Meyɛ ɔdefo; manya me ho. Mʼahonya nyinaa mu wɔrenhu amumɔyɛ biara wɔ me ho.”
Efereimu amadzitama ponena kuti, “Ndine wolemera kwambiri; ndili ndi chuma chambiri. Palibe amene angandiloze chala chifukwa cha kulemera kwanga.”
9 “Mene Awurade wo Nyankopɔn, a miyii wo fii Misraim. Mɛma woakɔtena ntamadan mu bio sɛnea na woyɛ wɔ wʼaponto afahyɛ nna mu no.
“Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako amene ndinakutulutsa mu Igupto. Ndidzakukhazikaninso mʼmatenti, monga munkachitira masiku aja pa nthawi ya zikondwerero zanu.
10 Mekasa kyerɛɛ adiyifo, memaa wɔn anisoadehu bebree na mefaa wɔn so kaa mmebusɛm.”
Ndinayankhula ndi aneneri, ndinawaonetsa masomphenya ambiri, ndipo ndinawawuza mafanizo kudzera mwa iwo.”
11 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.
Kodi Giliyadi ndi woyipa? Anthu ake ndi achabechabe! Kodi amapereka nsembe za ngʼombe zazimuna ku Giligala? Maguwa awo ansembe adzakhala ngati milu ya miyala mʼmunda molimidwa.
12 Yakob guan kɔɔ Aramfo asase so; Israel som de nyaa ɔyere, ɔhwɛɛ nguan de tuaa ti nsa.
Yakobo anathawira ku dziko la Aramu, Israeli anagwira ntchito kuti apeze mkazi, ndipo anaweta nkhosa kuti akwatire mkaziyo.
13 Awurade nam odiyifo so yii Israel fii Misraim, ɔnam odiyifo so hwɛɛ no.
Yehova anagwiritsa ntchito mneneri kuti atulutse Israeli mu Igupto; kudzera mwa mneneriyo Iye anawasamalira.
14 Nanso Efraim ahyɛ no abufuw yayaayaw; nʼAwurade bɛma ne mogyahwiegu ho afɔdi ada no so na obetua nʼanimtiaabu no so ka.
Koma Efereimu wamukwiyitsa kwambiri. Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova adzawalanga ndi imfa. Adzawalanga chifukwa anamuchititsa manyazi kwambiri.
