Awa ndi mawu amene Yehova anayankhula kwa Hoseya mwana wa Beeri pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Uziya, Yotamu, Ahazi ndi Hezekiya, mafumu a ku Yuda ndiponso pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yeroboamu mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya ku Israeli.
2 Ɛberɛ a Awurade dii ɛkan kasa faa Hosea so no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔware odwamanfoɔ, na wo ne no nwo, ɛfiri sɛ ɔman no di adwamammɔ ho fɔ na wɔnam so atete wɔ ne Onyankopɔn ntam.”
Yehova atayamba kuyankhula kudzera mwa Hoseya, Yehova anati kwa Hoseyayo, “Pita kakwatire mkazi wachiwerewere ndipo ubereke naye ana mʼchiwerewere chake pakuti anthu a mʼdziko muno achimwa pochita chigololo choyipitsitsa, posiya Yehova.”
3 Enti, ɔwaree Diblaim babaa Gomer, na ɔnyinsɛnee, woo ɔbabarima maa no.
Motero Hoseya anakwatira Gomeri mwana wamkazi wa Dibulaimu, ndipo mkaziyo anakhala woyembekezera nabala mwana wamwamuna.
4 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “To ne din Yesreel, ɛfiri sɛ, merebɛtwe ɔhene Yehu fie aso, de atua awudie a ɔdii wɔ Yesreel no so ka. Na mede Israel ahennie bɛba awieeɛ.
Tsono Yehova anati kwa Hoseya, “Umutche dzina loti Yezireeli, pakuti ndili pafupi kulanga banja la Yehu chifukwa cha anthu amene anawapha ku Yezireeli ndipo ndidzathetsa ufumu wa Israeli.
5 Saa ɛda no, mɛbubu Israel tadua wɔ Yesreel bɔnhwa no mu.”
Tsiku limenelo ndidzathyola uta wa Israeli mʼchigwa cha Yezireeli.”
6 Gomer nyinsɛnee bio, na ɔwoo ɔbabaa. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Hosea sɛ, “To ne din Lo-ruhama ɛfiri sɛ, merenna me dɔ adi nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ mma bio, na meremfa wɔn ho nnkyɛ wɔn koraa.
Gomeri anakhala woyembekezeranso ndipo anabereka mwana wamkazi. Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Hoseya, “Umutche dzina loti ‘Sakondedwa’ pakuti sindidzaonetsanso chikondi changa pa nyumba ya Israeli, kuti ndingawakhululukire konse.
7 Nanso, mɛyi me dɔ akyerɛ Yudafoɔ. Me Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn, mede me tumi bɛgye wɔn afiri wɔn atamfoɔ nsam a meremfa tadua, akofena anaa ɔko anaa apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ.”
Komatu ndidzaonetsa chikondi pa nyumba ya Yuda; ndipo ndidzawapulumutsa, osati ndi uta, lupanga kapena nkhondo, kapena akavalo ndi okwerapo ake, koma ine Yehova Mulungu wawo ndidzawapulumutsa.”
8 Ɛberɛ a Gomer twaa Lo-ruhama nufoɔ akyi no, ɔwoo ɔba barima foforɔ.
Sakondedwa ataleka kuyamwa, Gomeri anabereka mwana wina wamwamuna.
9 Na Awurade kaa sɛ, “To ne din Lo-ami, ɛfiri sɛ monnyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mennyɛ mo Onyankopɔn.
Pamenepo Yehova anati, “Umutche dzina loti Sianthuanga,” pakuti inu si ndinu anthu anga ndipo Ine si ndine Mulungu wanu.
10 “Nanso, Israelfoɔ bɛyɛ sɛ mpoano anwea a wɔntumi nkane wɔn. Beaeɛ a wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Monnyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ’ no, wɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Moyɛ Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ mma.’
“Komabe Aisraeli adzachuluka ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja umene sangathe kuwuyeza kapena kuwuwerenga. Pamalo omwe ananena kuti, ‘Sindinu anthu anga,’ pomweponso adzawatchula kuti ‘Ana a Mulungu wamoyo.’
11 Na Yudafoɔ ne Israelfoɔ bɛka abɔ mu bio, na wɔbɛyi ɔkwankyerɛfoɔ baako ama wɔn, na wɔn nyinaa bɛsane afiri nnommum no mu aba. Saa ɛda no bɛyɛ da kɛseɛ ama Yesreel.”
Anthu a ku Yuda ndi anthu a ku Israeli adzasonkhananso pamodzi ndipo adzasankha mtsogoleri mmodzi ndi kutuluka mʼdzikomo, pakuti tsiku la Yezireeli lidzakhala lalikulu kwambiri.”
