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.
Efulayimu alya mpewo; agoba empewo ez’ebuvanjuba olunaku lwonna, era bongera ku bulimba ne ku ttemu. Bakola endagaano n’Obwasuli, n’aweereza n’amafuta e Misiri.
2 Yehova akuyimba mlandu Yuda; Iye adzalanga Yakobo molingana ndi makhalidwe ake, adzamulanga molingana ndi ntchito zake.
Mukama alina ensonga ne Yuda, era alibonereza Yakobo ng’engeri ze bwe ziri. Amusasule ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri.
3 Akali mʼmimba mwa amayi ake, Yakobo anagwira chidendene cha mʼbale wake; iye atakula analimbana ndi Mulungu.
Bwe yali mu lubuto lwa nnyina yakwata muganda we ku kisinziiro, ne mu bukulu bwe n’ameggana ne Katonda.
4 Yakobo analimbana ndi mngelo ndipo anapambana; analira napempha kuti amukomere mtima. Mulungu anakumana naye ku Beteli ndipo anayankhula naye kumeneko,
Yameggana ne malayika n’amuwangula, n’akaaba n’amwegayirira. Yamusisinkana e Beseri, n’ayogera naye.
5 Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, Yehova ndiye dzina lake lotchuka!
Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, Mukama ly’erinnya lye erijjukirwa.
6 Koma inu muyenera kubwerera kwa Mulungu wanu; pitirizani chikondi ndi chiweruzo cholungama, ndipo muzidikira Mulungu wanu nthawi zonse.
Naye oteekwa okudda eri Katonda wo; kuuma okwagala n’obwenkanya, olindirirenga Katonda wo ennaku zonna.
7 Munthu wamalonda amagwiritsa ntchito masikelo achinyengo; iyeyo amakonda kubera anthu.
Omusuubuzi akozesa ebipimo eby’obulimba, era anyumirwa okukumpanya.
8 Efereimu amadzitama ponena kuti, “Ndine wolemera kwambiri; ndili ndi chuma chambiri. Palibe amene angandiloze chala chifukwa cha kulemera kwanga.”
Efulayimu yeewaana ng’ayogera nti, “Ndi mugagga nnyo, nfunye ebintu bingi. Mu bugagga bwange bwonna, tebayinza kundabamu kibi wadde okwonoona kwonna.”
9 “Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako amene ndinakutulutsa mu Igupto. Ndidzakukhazikaninso mʼmatenti, monga munkachitira masiku aja pa nthawi ya zikondwerero zanu.
Nze Mukama Katonda wo, eyakuggya mu Misiri; ndikuzzaayo n’obeera mu weema nate, nga mu nnaku ez’embaga ezaalagirwa.
10 Ndinayankhula ndi aneneri, ndinawaonetsa masomphenya ambiri, ndipo ndinawawuza mafanizo kudzera mwa iwo.”
Nayogera eri bannabbi, ne mbawa okwolesebwa kungi, ne mbagerera engero nga mpita mu bo.
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.
Gireyaadi butali butuukirivu era n’abantu baamu butaliimu. Mu Gireyaadi basalirayo ente ennume ne baziwaayo nga ssaddaaka, era ebyoto byabwe binaaba ng’entuumo ey’amayinja mu nnimiro ennime.
12 Yakobo anathawira ku dziko la Aramu, Israeli anagwira ntchito kuti apeze mkazi, ndipo anaweta nkhosa kuti akwatire mkaziyo.
Yakobo yaddukira mu nsi ya Alamu; Isirayiri yaweereza okufuna omukazi, era okumufuna yalundanga ndiga.
13 Yehova anagwiritsa ntchito mneneri kuti atulutse Israeli mu Igupto; kudzera mwa mneneriyo Iye anawasamalira.
Mukama yakozesa nnabbi okuggya Isirayiri mu Misiri, era n’akozesa nnabbi okumukuuma.
14 Koma Efereimu wamukwiyitsa kwambiri. Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova adzawalanga ndi imfa. Adzawalanga chifukwa anamuchititsa manyazi kwambiri.
Naye Efulayimu amusoomoozezza era amusunguwazizza, Mukama we kyaliva amutekako omusango olw’omusaayi gwe yayiwa, n’amusasula olw’obunyoomi bwe.
