1 “Hinteno kahineto, haysa si7ite! Hinteno Isra7eele asato, akeekite! Kawo keetha asato, loythi si7ite! Ha pirday hinte bolla pirdetis. Hinte Mixiphas xihe gidideta; Taabore zuma bolla miccetida giteda gidideta. 2 Geellati wodho aggibokona; hessa gisho, ta enta ubbaa seerana. 3 Taani Efreema erayis; Isra7eeley taape geemmibeenna. Efreema, neeni ha77i layma gidadasa; Isra7eeley tunis.”

4 “Isra7eele asay banta Xoossaako simmonna mela enta iita oosoy enta teqis. Laymatetha ayyaani enta wozanan de7iya gisho enti Godaa erokona. 5 Isra7eele asaa otoroy enta bolla markatees. Isra7eele asaynne Efreema asay banta nagara gaason dhubetoosona; Yihuda asayka entara dhubetees. 6 Enti Godaas yarshanaw banta dorsa wudiyanne mehe wudiya laagi ekidi iya koyanaw baana; shin I entafe shaaketida gisho iya demmokona. 7 Enti laymatethan nayta yelida gisho Godaas ammanetibokona. Hessa gisho, issi ageenan entinne enta biittay dhayana. 8 Gib7a kataman moyze, Rama kataman zaye punnite. Biniyaame asaw, ‘Guye simmidi be7ite’ yaagidi Beet-Aweenan waassite. 9 Seeretiya wode Efreemi baysa gidana. Isra7eele kochaa giddon tuma hananaba taani awaajana.

10 “Goday, ‘Yihuda halaqati zawa sugiya asa mela gididosona; taani ta hanquwa enta bolla di7o haathada gussana. 11 Efreema asay eridi eeqa goyinnida gisho, suure pirdan un7etidosona; tinchetidosona. 12 Hessa gisho, taani Efreema asaas bile, Yihuda asaas xoodha gidana.

13 “ ‘Efreemi ba hargiya, Yihudi ba madunthaa be7ida wode Efreemi Asoore biitta bis; he gita kawa maado oychis. Shin I enta hargiya dhallanaw woyko enta madunthaa pathanaw danda7ibeenna. 14 Hessa gisho, taani Efreemas gaammoda hanana; Yihudas wodala gaammoda hanana. Taani enta mentherethada eka baana; oonika enta ta kushepe ashshena. 15 Enti banta bala akeekana gakanawunne tana koyana gakanaw taani guye ta bessaa simmana. Enti banta waayan tana minthidi koyana’ ” yaagees.
