< Hosea 9 >
1 Nni ahurusi, Israel; nsɛpɛw wo ho te sɛ aman a aka no. Efisɛ woanni wo Nyankopɔn nokware, wʼani gye aguamammɔ ho wɔ awiporowbea nyinaa so.
Israel, nyle thou be glad, nyle thou make ful out ioie as puplis; for thou hast do fornicacioun fro thi God. Thou louedist meede on alle the cornflooris of wheete.
2 Awiporowbea ne nsakyiamoa rentumi mma nnipa no aduan; nsa foforo nso bɛbɔ wɔn.
The cornfloor and pressour schal not feede hem, and wyn schal lie to hem.
3 Wɔrentena Awurade asase no so bio; Efraim bɛsan akɔ Misraim na wadi aduan a ɛho ntew wɔ Asiria.
Thei schulen not dwelle in the lond of the Lord. Effraym turnede ayen in to Egipt, and eet defoulid thing among Assiriens.
4 Wɔremmɔ ahwiesa afɔre mma Awurade, na wɔn afɔrebɔ nso nsɔ nʼani. Saa afɔrebɔ yi bɛyɛ sɛ asufo brodo de ama wɔn; wɔn a wodi nyinaa ho begu fi. Saa aduan no bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa dea na wɔrentumi mmfa nkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
Thei schulen not offre wyn to the Lord, and thei schulen not plese hym. The sacrificis of hem ben as breed of mourneris; alle that schulen ete it schulen be defoulid. For the breed of hem is to the lijf of hem; thei schulen not entre in to the hous of the Lord.
5 Dɛn na mobɛyɛ wɔ mo aponto da no ne Awurade afahyɛnna no nso?
What schulen ye do in the solempne dai, in the dai of the feeste of the Lord?
6 Mpo sɛ woguan fi ɔsɛe mu a Misraim bɛboaboa wɔn ano, na Memfis besie wɔn. Wɔn dwetɛ ahonyade befuw wura, na wɔn ntamadan adan nsɔe.
For lo! thei ben goon out fro distriyng. Egipt schal gadere hem togidere, Memphis schal birie hem. A nettle schal enherite the desirable siluer of hem, a clote schal be in the tabernaclis of hem.
7 Asotwe nna no reba, akontaabu nna no adu; ma Israel nhu eyi. Esiane mo bɔne bebrebe ne mo akokoakoko a adɔɔso nti mofa no sɛ odiyifo yɛ kwasea, na nea honhom akanyan no no yɛ ɔbɔdamfo.
Daies of visitacioun ben comun, daies of yeldyng ben comun. Knowe ye, that Israel is a fool, a wood profete, a spiritual man, for the multitude of thi wickidnesse is also the multitude of woodnesse.
8 Odiyifo no ne me Nyankopɔn yɛ Efraim so wɛmfo, nanso wɔasum no afiri wɔ nʼakwan nyinaa so, na ɔtan ahyɛ ne Nyankopɔn fi ma.
The biholdere of Effraym with my God is a profete; a snare of fallyng is maad now on alle the weies of hym, woodnesse is in the hous of his God.
9 Wɔadu porɔwee bun mu, sɛnea na ɛte wɔ Gibea nna no mu. Onyankopɔn bɛkae wɔn atirimɔden na watwe wɔn aso wɔ wɔn bɔne ho.
Thei synneden deepli, as in the daies of Gabaa. The Lord schal haue mynde on the wickidnesse of hem, and schal visite the synnes of hem.
10 “Bere a mihuu Israel no, na ɛte sɛ nea mahu bobe wɔ nweatam so; bere a mihuu mo agyanom no, na ɛte sɛ nea mahu borɔdɔma aba a edi kan wɔ ne dua so. Nanso bere a wɔbaa Baal-Peor nkyɛn no wodwiraa wɔn ho maa ohoni nimguaseni no. Wɔn ho yɛɛ nwini te sɛ ohoni a wɔdɔ no no ara.
Y foond Israel as grapis in desert, Y siy the fadris of hem as the firste applis of a fige tree, in the cop therof; but thei entriden to Belfegor, and weren alienyd in confusioun, and thei weren maad abhomynable as tho thingis whiche thei louyden.
11 Efraim anuonyam betu akɔ sɛ anomaa, nyinsɛn ne awo nni ne mu.
Effraym as a brid fley awei; the glorye of hem is of childberyng, and of the wombe, and of conseyuyng.
12 Mpo sɛ wɔtetew mmofra a, mɛma mmofra no awuwu wɔ wɔn nsa mu. Wonnue, sɛ miyi mʼani fi wɔn so a!
That if thei nurschen her sones, Y schal make hem with out children among men. But also wo to hem, whanne Y schal go awei fro hem.
13 Mahu Efraim te sɛ Tiro, a ɛda baabi a eye. Nanso Efraim de ne mma bɛbrɛ okumfo no.”
Y siy that Effraym was as Tire, foundid in fairnesse; and Effraym schal lede out hise sones to the sleere.
14 Fa ma wɔn, Awurade, dɛn na wode bɛma wɔn? Ma wɔn ɔyafunu a ɛpɔn ne nufu a nufusu nni mu.
Lord, yyue thou to hem; what schalt thou yyue to hem? yyue thou to hem a wombe with out children, and drie tetis.
15 “Wɔn atirimɔdensɛm nyinaa a wodii wɔ Gilgal nti, mefaa wɔn ho tan wɔ hɔ. Wɔn nnebɔne nti mɛpam wɔn afi me fi. Merennɔ wɔn bio; efisɛ wɔn ntuanofo nyinaa yɛ atuatewfo.
Alle the wickidnessis of hem ben in Galgal, for there Y hadde hem hateful; for the malice of her fyndyngis. Y schal caste hem out of myn hous; Y schal not leie to, that Y loue hem. Alle the princes of hem goen awei.
16 Efraim agyigya, wɔn ntin akisa, nti wɔnsow aba. Sɛ wɔwo mma mpo a, mekunkum wɔn mma a wɔdɔ wɔn no.”
Effraym is smyten, the roote of hem is dried vp; thei schulen not make fruyt. That thouy thei gendren, Y schal sle the moost louyd thingis of her wombe.
17 Me Nyankopɔn bɛpo wɔn, efisɛ, wɔanyɛ osetie amma no; Wobekyinkyin aman no mu.
My God schal caste hem awey, for thei herden not hym; and thei schulen be of vnstable dwellyng among naciouns.
