Hoseya 11
1 “Israeli ali mwana, ndinamukonda, ndipo ndinayitana mwana wanga kuti atuluke mu Igupto.
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 Koma ndimati ndikamapitiriza kuyitana iwo amandithawa kupita kutali. Ankapereka nsembe kwa Abaala ndipo ankafukiza lubani kwa mafano.
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Ndi Ine amene ndinaphunzitsa Efereimu kuyenda, ndipo ndinawagwira pa mkono; koma iwo sanazindikire kuti ndine amene ndinawachiritsa.
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 Ndinawatsogolera ndi zingwe zachifundo cha anthu ndi zomangira za chikondi; ndinachotsa goli mʼkhosi mwawo ndipo ndinawerama nʼkuwadyetsa.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat to them.
5 “Sadzabwerera ku Igupto, koma Asiriya ndiye adzakhala mfumu yawo pakuti akana kutembenuka.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6 Malupanga adzangʼanima mʼmizinda yawo, ndipo adzawononga mipiringidzo ya zipata zawo nadzathetseratu malingaliro awo.
And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
7 Anthu anga atsimikiza zondifulatira Ine. Ngakhale atayitana Wammwambamwamba, sizidzatheka kuti Iye awakwezenso.
And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
8 “Kodi ndingakusiye bwanji iwe Efereimu? Kodi ndingakupereke bwanji iwe Israeli? Kodi ndingakuchitire bwanji zimene ndinachitira Adima? Kodi ndingathe bwanji kukuchitira zimene ndinachitira Zeboimu? Mtima wanga wakana kutero; chifundo changa chonse chikusefukira.
How shall I give you up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver you, Israel? how shall I make you as Admah? how shall I set you as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 Sindidzalola kuti ndikulange ndi mkwiyo wanga woopsa, kapena kutembenuka ndi kuwononga Efereimu. Pakuti Ine ndine Mulungu osati munthu, Woyerayo pakati panu. Sindidzabwera mwaukali.
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the middle of you: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Iwo adzatsatira Yehova; Iye adzabangula ngati mkango. Akadzabangula, ana ake adzabwera akunjenjemera kuchokera kumadzulo.
They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11 Adzabwera akunjenjemera ngati mbalame kuchokera ku Igupto, ngati nkhunda kuchokera ku Asiriya. Ine ndidzawakhazikanso mʼnyumba zawo,” akutero Yehova.
They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, says the LORD.
12 Efereimu wandizungulira ndi mabodza, nyumba ya Israeli yandizungulira ndi chinyengo. Ndipo Yuda wawukira Mulungu, wawukira ngakhale Woyerayo amene ndi wokhulupirika.
Ephraim compasses me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the saints.
