1 Bere a Usia, Yotam, Ahas ne Hesekia yɛ ahemfo wɔ Yuda, na Yoas babarima Yeroboam di hene wɔ Israel no, Awurade de saa nsɛm yi baa Beeri babarima Hosea nkyɛn.
Naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Hosea, ko e foha ʻo Peli, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻUsia, mo Sotame, mo ʻAhasi, mo Hesekaia, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
2 Bere a Awurade dii kan kasa faa Hosea so no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔware oguamanfo, na wo ne no nwo, efisɛ ɔman no di aguamammɔ ho fɔ na wɔnam so atetew wɔne Onyankopɔn ntam.”
Ko hono kamataʻanga ʻoe folofola ʻa Sihova ia Hosea. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Hosea, “ʻAlu, ʻo ʻomi kiate koe ha uaifi mei he feʻauaki mo e fānau ʻae feʻauaki: he kuo fai ʻe he fonua ʻae feʻauaki lahi, ʻonau mahuʻi meia Sihova.”
3 Enti, ɔwaree Diblaim babea Gomer, na onyinsɛn woo ɔbabarima maa no.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa Komela, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Tipilemi; pea naʻe tuituʻia ia mo fanauʻi ha tama tangata kiate ia.
4 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “To ne din Yesreel, efisɛ, merebɛtwe ɔhene Yehufi aso, de atua awu a odii wɔ Yesreel no so ka. Na mede Israel ahenni bɛba awiei.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Sesilili; he ʻoku toetoe siʻi, pea te u totongi ʻae toto ʻo Sesilili ki he fale ʻo Sehu, pea te u fakangata ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
5 Saa da no, mebubu Israel tadua wɔ Yesreel bon no mu.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u fesiʻi ʻae kaufana ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.”
6 Gomer nyinsɛnee bio, na ɔwoo ɔbabea. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Hosea se, “To ne din Lo-ruhama efisɛ, merenna me dɔ adi nkyerɛ Israelfo bio, na meremfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn koraa.
Pea naʻe toe tuituʻia ia, pea fanauʻi ha tama fefine. Pea naʻe pehē [ʻe he ʻOtua ]kiate ia, “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Loluhama: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻaloʻofa ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ka te u mātuʻaki ʻave ʻakinautolu.
7 Nanso meyi me dɔ akyerɛ Yudafo. Me Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn, mede me tumi begye wɔn afi wɔn atamfo nsam a meremfa tadua, afoa anaa ɔko anaa apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔsotefo.”
Ka te u ʻaloʻofa ki he fale ʻo Siuta, pea te u fakamoʻui kinautolu ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakamoʻui ʻaki kinautolu ʻae kaufana, pe ko e heletā, pe ko e tau, pe ko e fanga hoosi, pe ko e kau tangata heka hoosi.”
8 Bere a Gomer twaa Lo-ruhama nufu akyi no, ɔwoo ɔba barima foforo.
Pea hili ʻene fakamāvae ʻa Loluhama, naʻa ne tuituʻia pea fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata.
9 Na Awurade kae se, “To ne din Lo-ami, efisɛ monnyɛ me nkurɔfo na mennyɛ mo Nyankopɔn.
Pea naʻe toki pehē [ʻe he ʻOtua], “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Loami: he ‘ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku kakai’ ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko homou ʻOtua au.
10 “Nanso Israelfo bɛyɛ sɛ mpoano nwea a wontumi nkan wɔn. Faako a wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Monnyɛ me nkurɔfo’ no, wɔbɛka se, ‘Moyɛ Onyankopɔn teasefo no mma.’
Ka ko hono tokolahi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa fua pe lau; pea ʻe hoko ʻi he potu naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ko hoku kakai ʻakimoutolu,’ ʻe pehē ʻi ai kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e ngaahi foha ʻakimoutolu ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui.’
11 Na Yudafo ne Israelfo bɛka abɔ mu bio, na wobeyi ɔkwankyerɛfo baako ama wɔn, na wɔn nyinaa bɛsan afi nnommum no mu aba. Saa da no bɛyɛ da kɛse ama Yesreel.”
Pea ʻe toki tānaki fakataha ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ʻe tuʻutuʻuni ha ʻulu pe taha moʻonautolu, pea te nau haʻu mei he fonua: koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sesilili.
