Hosea 8 (ASG) · Opened

1Zuwa kavana a una̱ u nu, tsu kajimba, irala i ɗa̱ yi a̱ kucipa̱ a gaɗi vu uma a Vuzavaguɗu, adama a na uma a sula ta̱ uzuwakpani u va̱, ɗa a yaꞋankai wila̱ uva̱ ugbamiwasuvu.Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.

2A̱shika̱i wa̱ a̱ va̱, a kudana, <<Ka̱shila̱, a̱tsu aza a Isaraila tsu yeve wu ta̱.>>Israel cries out to Me, “O our God, we know You!”

3Ama aza a Isaraila a iwan ta̱ ili i na yi i singai, adama a nannai irala yi ta̱ a kuguva le.But Israel has rejected good; an enemy will pursue him.

4A zuwai ngono, ama n wu ushuki uva̱ ba. a zuwai aza e kelime ama ba n wu ushuki uva̱ ɗa ba. a yaꞋankai ka̱ci ke le a̱ma̱li n azurufa n azanariya e le, na lo wo okpo le ta̱ ili i munuka.They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.

5Avu Samariya n iwan ta̱ ka̱ma̱li ke medendem ka nanlo, ka na vu maꞋin. Wupa uva̱ wi ta̱ a kaci ka̱ nu. Ali wannai ɗa̱i vi a̱ kuka̱sukpa̱ kuyaꞋan ili yu unata?He has rejected your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?

6Ka̱ma̱li ka ka aza Isaraila kaꞋa, kesheꞋwi kaꞋa ka yaꞋin kaꞋa. ka̱ma̱li kaꞋa Ka̱shile ka ba. ka̱ma̱li ka nanlo ki iyoci i medendem ma Samariya. i ta̱ kuɓoso kaꞋa.For this thing is from Israel—a craftsman made it, and it is not God. It will be broken to pieces, that calf of Samaria.

7Ɗa uma a Samariya a̱ ca̱Ꞌi ili i gbani, adama nannai i a kukyaꞋa ili ba. adama a na ilya i na yi kashani yi n aci ba, yi a kumatsa muku ba. ko i matsa baci, omoci a ɗa i a ku lyaꞋi ɗa.For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if it should produce, the foreigners would swallow it up.

8O soɗongi aza a Isaraila ra̱ka̱, ama gogo na i ta̱ a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka uma, tsu ili i gbani.Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like a worthless vessel.

9Adama a na a laza ta̱ a kubana wa aza Asuriya tsu makparagi ma na mi a̱ ka̱ka̱ra̱sa̱ endeꞋin. tsugono tsa aza a Isaraila a uɓon u gaɗi a tsupa ta̱ ikebe. i kula̱nsa̱ we eri wa aza o yokuFor they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey on its own. Ephraim has hired lovers.

10Ko a na wo okpoi a tsupa ta̱ ikebe a uduniya, Mi ta̱ o kudoku kuɓolongu le. I ta̱ kpamu a̱ ku na̱mgba̱ ka̱tsuma̱, adama atakaci o mogono ma gbayin.Though they hire allies among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to diminish under the oppression of the king of princes.

11<<A makyan ma na aza a Isaraila a uɓon u gaɗi i o kudoku kumaꞋa atali alyuka adama alyuka a kutakpa ku unushi, ta kpamu atali alyuka a nanlo okpoi ubuta̱ u kudoku kuyaꞋan unushi.Though Ephraim multiplied the altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.

12Ko kuyaꞋin ku ɗa baci n ɗanakai le wila̱ uva̱, ama ayin tutu a ɗika ta̱ u ɗa ili i savu.Though I wrote for them the great things of My law, they regarded them as something strange.

13A tsu pana ta̱ uyoꞋo u kuneke alyuka adama a ku takuma inyama, ama mpa Vuzavaguɗu n tsu pana uyoꞋo u le ba. Vuzavaguɗu wi ta̱ a kuciɓa n ka gbani-gbani ke le. mi ta̱ a kutakacika le adama unushi u le. Mi ta̱ a kuzuwa le o kubono a Masar.Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.

14Aza a Isaraila a cinukpai n vuza na u yaꞋin le, a maꞋin iꞋuwa i gbagbaꞋin, Aza a Yahuda feu a maꞋa ta̱ nshilya n likuci n a̱ bunda̱i. Ama mi ta̱ a̱ ku suku n akina a̱ likuci ya, ka̱ta̱ akina a o songu iꞋuwa yi ngono n le ma.>>Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has multiplied its fortified cities. But I will send fire upon their cities, and it will consume their citadels.
