Hosea 8
1 “Monhyɛn totorobɛnto! Ɔkɔdeɛ bi wɔ Awurade fiefoɔ so ɛfiri sɛ nnipa no abu mʼapam so na wɔasɔre atia me mmara.
A trumpe be in thi throte, as an egle on the hous of the Lord; for that that thei yeden ouer my boond of pees, and braken my lawe.
2 Afei, Israel su frɛ me sɛ, ‘Ao, yɛn Onyankopɔn, yɛgye wo to mu!’
Thei clepiden me to helpe, A! my God, we Israel han knowe thee.
3 Nanso, Israel apo deɛ ɛyɛ; ɔtamfoɔ bɛtaa no.
Israel hath cast awei good, the enemye schal pursue hym.
4 Wɔsisi ahemfo a mennim ho hwee wɔpa ahenemma wɔ ɛberɛ a mempenee so. Wɔde wɔn dwetɛ ne wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ yɛ ahoni ma wɔn ho de sɛeɛ wɔn ankasa ho.
Thei regnyden, and not of me; thei weren princes, and Y knew not. Thei maden her gold and siluer idols to hem, that thei schulden perische.
5 To wo nantwie ba ohoni no twene, Ao, Samaria! Mʼabufuhyeɛ reba wɔn so. Wɔbɛtena deɛ ɛho nteɛ mu, akɔsi da bɛn?
A! Samarie, thi calf is cast awei; my strong veniaunce is wrooth ayens hem. Hou long moun thei not be clensid?
6 Wɔfiri Israel! Saa nantwie ba yi, odwumfoɔ bi na ɔseneeɛ; ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn! Wɔbɛbubu mu asinasini, saa Samaria nantwie ba no.
for also it is of Israel. A crafti man made it, and it is not god; for the calf of Samarie schal be in to webbis of ireyns.
7 “Wɔdua mframa na wɔtwa ntwahoframa. Awuo a ɛgyina hɔ no nni tire; enti wɔrennya esam mfiri mu. Sɛ ɛso aduane mpo a, ahɔhoɔ na wɔbɛdi.
For thei schulen sowe wynd, and thei schulen repe whirlewynd. A stalke stondynge is not in hem, the seed schal not make mele; that if also it makith mele, aliens schulen ete it.
8 Wɔamene Israel; afei ɔfra aman no mu te sɛ adeɛ a ɛho nni mfasoɔ biara.
Israel is deuouryd; now Israel is maad as an vnclene vessel among naciouns,
9 Na wɔakɔ Asiria te sɛ wiram afunumu a ɔno nko ara nenam. Efraim nso atɔn ne ho ama adɔfoɔ.
for thei stieden to Assur. Effraym is a wielde asse, solitarie to hym silf. Thei yauen yiftis to louyeris;
10 Ɛwom, wɔatɔn wɔn ho wɔ amanaman no mu deɛ, nanso mɛboaboa wɔn ano. Wɔn so bɛfiri aseɛ ate wɔ ɔhene kɛseɛ bi nhyɛsoɔ ase.
but also with meede thei hiriden naciouns. Now Y schal gadere hem togidere, and thei schulen reste a litil fro birthun of the kyng and of princes.
11 “Ɛwom sɛ Efraim sisii afɔrebukyia bebree a wɔbɔ bɔne fakyɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so deɛ, ɛno enti abɛyɛ afɔrebukyia a wɔyɛ bɔne wɔ so.
For Efraym multipliede auteris to do synne, auteris weren maad to hym in to trespas.
12 Metwerɛɛ me mmara a ɛfa nneɛma bebree ho maa wɔn, nanso wɔfaa no sɛ ananafoɔ adeɛ.
Y schal write to hem my many fold lawis, that ben arettid as alien lawis.
13 Wɔde mʼayɛyɛdeɛ bɔ afɔdeɛ na wɔwe ɛnam no, nanso wɔnsɔ Awurade ani. Afei, ɔbɛkae wɔn atirimuɔdensɛm na watwe wɔn aso wɔ wɔn bɔne ho: Wɔbɛsane akɔ Misraim.
Thei schulen brynge sacrifices, thei shulen offre, and ete fleischis; and the Lord schal not resseyue tho. Now he schal haue mynde on the wickidnessis of hem, and he schal visite the synnes of hem; thei schulen turne in to Egipt.
14 Israel werɛ afiri ne yɛfoɔ na wasisi ahemfie akɛseakɛseɛ; Yuda abɔ nkuro bebree ho ban. Nanso, mɛto ne nkuropɔn mu ogya a ɛbɛhye wɔn aban.”
And Israel foryat his makere, and bildide templis to idols, and Judas multipliede stronge citees; and Y schal sende fier in to the citees of hym, and it schal deuoure the housis of hym.
