< Hosea 6 >

1 “Mommra, momma yɛnsane nkɔ Awurade nkyɛn. Wɔatete yɛn mu asinasini nanso ɔbɛsa yɛn yadeɛ. Wapirapira yɛn nanso ɔbɛkyekyere yɛn apirakuro.
Wozani sibuyele eNkosini, ngoba yona idwengulile, njalo izaselapha; itshayile, njalo izasibopha.
2 Nnanu akyiri, ɔbɛma yɛanya ahoɔden; nansa so, ɔde yɛn bɛsi yɛn siberɛ na yɛanya nkwa wɔ nʼanim.
Izasivuselela emva kwensuku ezimbili, ngosuku lwesithathu isivuse, njalo siphile phambi kwayo.
3 Momma yɛnnye Awurade nto mu; momma yɛn nkɔ so nnye no nto mu. Sɛdeɛ awia pue da biara no, ɔbɛpue; ɔbɛba yɛn nkyɛn te sɛ osuo a ɛtɔ awɔberɛ mu anaa osutɔberɛ mu nsuo a ɛfɔ asase.”
Khona sizakwazi, silandele ukuyazi iNkosi; ukuphuma kwayo kulungiswe njengokusa; njalo izafika kithi njengezulu, njengezulu lemuva lelokuqala emhlabeni.
4 “Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi de wo ayɛ, Efraim? Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi de wo ayɛ, Yuda? Mo dɔ te sɛ anɔpa bɔ, ɛte sɛ anɔpa bosuo a ɛtu yera.
Ngizakwenzani kuwe, Efrayimi? Ngizakwenzani kuwe, Juda? Ngoba umusa wenu unjengeyezi lekuseni, lanjengamazolo ovivi athintithekayo.
5 Mede mʼadiyifoɔ twitwaa mo mu asinasini, mede mʼanum nsɛm kunkumm mo; mʼatemmuo baa mo so sɛ anyinam.
Ngenxa yalokhu ngibagamule ngabaprofethi, ngababulala ngamazwi omlomo wami; lezahlulelo zakho zinjengokukhanya okuphumayo.
6 Mepɛ ahummɔborɔ na ɛnyɛ afɔrebɔ, mepɛ Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ sene ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.
Ngoba ngaloyisa umusa, hatshi-ke umhlatshelo, lolwazi lukaNkulunkulu kuleminikelo yokutshiswa.
7 Wɔabu apam no so sɛdeɛ Adam yɛeɛ. Wɔanni me nokorɛ wɔ hɔ.
Kodwa bona njengoluntu baseqile isivumelwano; lapho benza ngenkohliso kimi.
8 Gilead yɛ atirimuɔdenfoɔ kuropɔn a mogya anammɔn akeka hɔ.
IGileyadi ingumuzi wabenzi bokubi, ilemikhondo yegazi.
9 Sɛdeɛ akwanmukafoɔ ka ɛkwan mu no saa ara na asɔfo kuo no nso yɛ; wɔdi awu wɔ Sekem kwantempɔn so yɛ nnebɔne a ɛyɛ animguaseɛ.
Njengamaviyo abaphangi acathamele umuntu, linjalo ixuku labapristi; bayabulala endleleni yeShekema; ngoba benza inkohlakalo.
10 Mahunu ahodwiredeɛ wɔ Israel fie. Ɛhɔ, Efraim kɔ adwamammɔ mu Israel gu ne ho fi.
Endlini yakoIsrayeli ngibone into eyesabekayo; lapho kulobuwule bukaEfrayimi, uIsrayeli ungcolisiwe.
11 “Na wo Yuda nso, wɔahyɛ otwa berɛ ama wo. “Ɛberɛ biara a mede me nkurɔfoɔ ahonya asane ama wɔn,
Lawe Juda, ukumisele isivuno, lapho ngibuyise ukuthunjwa kwabantu bami.
