< Hoseya 12 >
1 Efereimu amadya mpweya; tsiku lonse amasaka mphepo ya kummawa ndipo amachulukitsa mabodza ndi chiwawa. Amachita mgwirizano ndi Asiriya ndipo amatumiza mphatso za mafuta a olivi ku Igupto.
Efraim geno gima onge, olawo yamb wuok chiengʼ odiechiengʼ duto, kendo omedo miriambo kod gero. Oketo winjruok gi Asuria kendo ooro mor zeituni ne jo-Misri.
2 Yehova akuyimba mlandu Yuda; Iye adzalanga Yakobo molingana ndi makhalidwe ake, adzamulanga molingana ndi ntchito zake.
Jehova Nyasaye nigi bura kuom jo-Juda; enokum Jakobo kaluwore gi yorene; kendo enochule kaluwore gi timbene.
3 Akali mʼmimba mwa amayi ake, Yakobo anagwira chidendene cha mʼbale wake; iye atakula analimbana ndi Mulungu.
Kane pod en ei min nomako tiend owadgi, kaka dhano nomako amen gi Nyasaye.
4 Yakobo analimbana ndi mngelo ndipo anapambana; analira napempha kuti amukomere mtima. Mulungu anakumana naye ku Beteli ndipo anayankhula naye kumeneko,
Ne oii gi malaika mi oloye; eka noywak kendo kwayo mondo otimne ngʼwono. Noyude Bethel kendo mowuoyo kode kanyo.
5 Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, Yehova ndiye dzina lake lotchuka!
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, Jehova Nyasaye e nyinge mongʼerego!
6 Koma inu muyenera kubwerera kwa Mulungu wanu; pitirizani chikondi ndi chiweruzo cholungama, ndipo muzidikira Mulungu wanu nthawi zonse.
To nyaka uduog ir Nyasachu; beduru johera kendo joma ngʼado bura makare, bende keturu chunyu kuom Nyasachu kinde duto.
7 Munthu wamalonda amagwiritsa ntchito masikelo achinyengo; iyeyo amakonda kubera anthu.
Jalok ohala tiyo gi ratinde mag miriambo; ohero mecho.
8 Efereimu amadzitama ponena kuti, “Ndine wolemera kwambiri; ndili ndi chuma chambiri. Palibe amene angandiloze chala chifukwa cha kulemera kwanga.”
Efraim sungore kawacho ni, “An jamoko momewo, kendo asebedo ja-mwandu. Gi mwanduna duto ok giniyud gimoro kuoma ma miganga kata richo.”
9 “Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako amene ndinakutulutsa mu Igupto. Ndidzakukhazikaninso mʼmatenti, monga munkachitira masiku aja pa nthawi ya zikondwerero zanu.
“An Jehova Nyasaye Nyasachu mane ogolou e piny Misri, anami udagi e hembeu kendo, mana kaka ndalo mane utimoe nyasi mag sawo mau.
10 Ndinayankhula ndi aneneri, ndinawaonetsa masomphenya ambiri, ndipo ndinawawuza mafanizo kudzera mwa iwo.”
Ne awuoyo kod jonabi, ka anyisogi fweny mangʼeny, kendo kawacho ngeche kokalo kuomgi.”
11 Kodi Giliyadi ndi woyipa? Anthu ake ndi achabechabe! Kodi amapereka nsembe za ngʼombe zazimuna ku Giligala? Maguwa awo ansembe adzakhala ngati milu ya miyala mʼmunda molimidwa.
Bende Gilead nigi anjawo? Joge gin joma nono! Bende gitimo misengini gi rwedhi, Gilgal? Kendegi mag misengini biro chalo, kaka kite modhurore e puodho mopur.
12 Yakobo anathawira ku dziko la Aramu, Israeli anagwira ntchito kuti apeze mkazi, ndipo anaweta nkhosa kuti akwatire mkaziyo.
Jakobo noringo modhi e piny mar Aram; Israel notiyo mondo oyud dhako, kendo nochulo nengo mare kokwayo rombe.
13 Yehova anagwiritsa ntchito mneneri kuti atulutse Israeli mu Igupto; kudzera mwa mneneriyo Iye anawasamalira.
Jehova Nyasaye nokonyore gi janabi ma ogolo Israel oa Misri, adier ne ooro janabi mondo orite.
14 Koma Efereimu wamukwiyitsa kwambiri. Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova adzawalanga ndi imfa. Adzawalanga chifukwa anamuchititsa manyazi kwambiri.
To Efraim osemiye obedo mager mobedo gi mirima; Ruodhe nowe timbene maricho mag chwero remo e wiye, kendo nochule kuom ngʼanyone.
