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, out of Egypt, called I my son.
2 Koma ndimati ndikamapitiriza kuyitana iwo amandithawa kupita kutali. Ankapereka nsembe kwa Abaala ndipo ankafukiza lubani kwa mafano.
They invited them, —at once, they departed from before me, they, to the Baals, sacrificed, and, to the images, offered incense.
3 Ndi Ine amene ndinaphunzitsa Efereimu kuyenda, ndipo ndinawagwira pa mkono; koma iwo sanazindikire kuti ndine amene ndinawachiritsa.
Yet, I, had taught Ephraim to walk, I used to take them upon mine arms, —But they acknowledged not that I had healed them.
4 Ndinawatsogolera ndi zingwe zachifundo cha anthu ndi zomangira za chikondi; ndinachotsa goli mʼkhosi mwawo ndipo ndinawerama nʼkuwadyetsa.
With human cords, used I to draw them, with the bands of love, so became I unto them like those who remove the yoke [that was] on their jaws, —and, holding out [food] to him, I let him eat.
5 “Sadzabwerera ku Igupto, koma Asiriya ndiye adzakhala mfumu yawo pakuti akana kutembenuka.
He was not to turn back into the land of Egypt, Howbeit, the Assyrian—he, became his king, for they refused to turn.
6 Malupanga adzangʼanima mʼmizinda yawo, ndipo adzawononga mipiringidzo ya zipata zawo nadzathetseratu malingaliro awo.
Therefore shall the sword, rage, in his cities, and make an end of his multitudes, and consume them, —because of their counsels.
7 Anthu anga atsimikiza zondifulatira Ine. Ngakhale atayitana Wammwambamwamba, sizidzatheka kuti Iye awakwezenso.
But, my people, are bent towards turning from me, though upwards they call them, none of them can lift them.
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 can I give thee up, Ephraim? abandon thee Israel? How can I make thee as Admah? set thee as Zeboim? Mine own heart, turneth against me, at once, are kindled my compassions.
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 cannot execute the glow of mine anger, I cannot turn to destroy Ephraim, —for, GOD, am, I, and not man, When thou drawest near, [I am] a Holy One, though I do not enter a city.
10 Iwo adzatsatira Yehova; Iye adzabangula ngati mkango. Akadzabangula, ana ake adzabwera akunjenjemera kuchokera kumadzulo.
After Yahweh, let them go, Like a lion, will he roar, —When, he, shall roar, then let sons, come trembling, out of the West.
11 Adzabwera akunjenjemera ngati mbalame kuchokera ku Igupto, ngati nkhunda kuchokera ku Asiriya. Ine ndidzawakhazikanso mʼnyumba zawo,” akutero Yehova.
Let them come trembling like a small bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria, —so will I cause them to dwell by their own houses, Declareth Yahweh.
12 Efereimu wandizungulira ndi mabodza, nyumba ya Israeli yandizungulira ndi chinyengo. Ndipo Yuda wawukira Mulungu, wawukira ngakhale Woyerayo amene ndi wokhulupirika.
They have compassed me about—with denial, Ephraim, with deceit, the house of Israel, —but, Judah, hath, again and again, run riot with GOD, though, with the holy places, entrusted.
