Hoseya 4
1 Inu Aisraeli, imvani mawu a Yehova, chifukwa Yehova ali ndi mlandu ndi inu amene mumakhala mʼdzikoli: “Mʼdziko mwanu mulibe kukhulupirika, mulibe chikondi mulibe kulabadira za Mulungu.
Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama, mmwe abantu ba Isirayiri, kubanga Mukama abalinako ensonga mmwe abatuula mu nsi. “Obwesigwa n’okwagala Katonda, n’okumumanya bikendedde mu nsi.
2 Muli kutemberera kokha, kunama ndi kupha. Kuba ndi kuchita chigololo; machimo achita kunyanya ndipo akungokhalira kuphana.
Waliwo okukolima, n’okulimba, n’okutta, n’okubba, n’okukola eby’obwenzi; bawaguza, era bayiwa omusaayi obutakoma.
3 Chifukwa chake dziko likulira ndipo onse amene amakhalamo akuvutika; zirombo zakuthengo ndi mbalame zamumlengalenga ndiponso nsomba zamʼnyanja zikufa.
Ensi kyeneeva ekaaba, ne bonna abagibeeramu ne bafuuka ekitagasa; n’ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko zirifa, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga nazo zirifa, n’ebyennyanja ebiri mu nnyanja ne bifa.
4 “Koma wina asapeze mnzake chifukwa, wina aliyense asayimbe mlandu mnzake, pakuti anthu ako ali ngati anthu amene amayimba mlandu wansembe.
“Naye temuloopagana, so tewabaawo muntu avunaana munne, kubanga ensonga ngivunaana gwe kabona.
5 Mumapunthwa usana ndi usiku ndipo aneneri amapunthwa nanu pamodzi. Choncho ndidzawononga amayi anu.
Wakola ebibi emisana n’ekiro, ne bannabbi ne babikolera wamu naawe; kyendiva nzikiriza maama wo.
6 Anthu anga akuwonongeka chifukwa chosadziwa. “Pakuti mwakana kudziwa, Inenso ndidzakukanani monga ansembe anga; chifukwa mwayiwala lamulo la Mulungu wanu, Inenso ndidzayiwala ana anu.
Abantu bange bazikiridde olw’obutamanya. “Kyemunaava mulema okubeera bakabona bange; era olw’okulagajjalira etteeka lya Katonda wo, nange kyendiva ndagajjalira abaana bo.
7 Ansembe ankati akachuluka iwo ankandichimwiranso kwambiri; iwo anasinthanitsa ulemerero wawo ndi chinthu china chonyansa.
Gye beeyongera okuba abangi, gye baakoma n’okukola ebibi; baasuula ekitiibwa kyabwe ne banswaza.
8 Amalemererapo pa machimo a anthu anga ndipo amafunitsitsa kuti anthuwo azipitiriza kuchimwa.
Bagaggawalira ku bibi by’abantu bange, era basemba okwonoona kwabwe.
9 Ndipo zidzakhala motere: zochitikira anthu ena, zidzachitikiranso ansembe. Ndidzawalanga onsewo chifukwa cha njira zawo, ndidzawabwezera chifukwa cha machitidwe awo.
Era bwe kityo bwe kiriba eri abantu n’eri bakabona: ndibabonereza olw’enneeyisa yaabwe, era ne mbasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe.
10 “Iwo azidzadya koma sadzakhuta; azidzachita zachiwerewere koma sadzachulukana, chifukwa anasiya Yehova kuti adzipereke
“Balirya naye tebalikkuta, balikola ebibi eby’obwenzi kyokka tebalyeyongera bungi, kubanga bavudde ku Mukama ne beewaayo
11 ku zachiwerewere, ku vinyo wakale ndi watsopano, zimene zimachotsa nzeru zomvetsa zinthu
eri obwenzi, wayini omukadde n’omusu, ne bibamalamu okutegeera.
12 za anthu anga. Anthu anga amapempha nzeru ku fano lamtengo ndipo ndodo yawo yamtengo imawayankha. Mzimu wachiwerewere umawasocheretsa; iwo sakukhulupirika kwa Mulungu wawo.
Abantu bange beebuuza ku kikonge ky’omuti, ne baddibwamu omuti. Omwoyo ogw’obwenzi gubasendasenda ne gubaleetera obutaba beesigwa eri Katonda waabwe.
13 Amapereka nsembe pamwamba pa mapiri ndi kufukiza lubani pa zitunda, pa tsinde pa mtengo wa thundu, mnjale ndi mkundi, pamene pali mthunzi wabwino. Nʼchifukwa chake ana anu aakazi akuchita zachiwerewere ndipo akazi a ana anu akuchita zigololo.
Baweerayo ssaddaaka ku ntikko z’ensozi, ne baweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku busozi, wansi w’emyalooni, n’emiribine n’emyera awali ekisiikirize ekirungi. Bawala bammwe kyebava baba bamalaaya, ne baka baana bammwe ne bakola obwenzi.
14 “Ine sindidzalanga ana anu aakazi pamene iwo adzachita zachiwerewere, kapena akazi a ana anu pamene adzachita zigololo. Paja inu nomwe amunanu mumayenda ndi akazi achiwerewere, ndipo mumapereka nsembe pamodzi ndi akazi achiwerewere a ku malo opembedzerako. Anthu amene alibe nzeru adzawonongeka ndithu!
“Siribonereza bawala bammwe olw’okubeera bamalaaya, newaakubadde baka baana bammwe okukola eby’obwenzi, kubanga abasajja bennyini bassa bumu ne bamalaaya, ne baweerayo ssaddaaka ne bamalaaya ab’omu masabo; abantu abatategeera balizikirira.
15 “Ngakhale umachita chigololo, iwe Israeli, Yuda asapezeke ndi mlandu wotere. “Usapite ku Giligala. Usapite ku Beti-Aveni. Ndipo usalumbire kuti, ‘Pali Yehova wamoyo!’
“Newaakubadde ggwe Isirayiri oyenda, omusango guleme okuba ku Yuda. Togenda Girugaali, newaakubadde okwambuka e Besaveni. Tolayiranga nti, ‘Nga Katonda bw’ali omulamu.’
16 Aisraeli ndi nkhutukumve, ngosamva ngati ana angʼombe. Kodi Yehova angathe kuwaweta bwanji ngati ana ankhosa pa msipu wabwino?
Abayisirayiri bakakanyavu mu mitima ng’ennyana endalu. Olwo Mukama ayinza atya okubalabirira ng’abaana b’endiga abali mu kisibo?
17 Efereimu waphathana ndi mafano; mulekeni!
Efulayimu yeegasse n’abasinza ebifaananyi, mumuleke abeere yekka.
18 Ngakhale pamene zakumwa zawo zatha, amapitiriza kuchita zachiwerewere; atsogoleri awo amakonda kwambiri njira zawo zochititsa manyazi.
Ebyokunywa ne bwe bibaggwaako, beeyongera mu bwamalaaya; n’abakulembeze baabwe baagala nnyo eby’ensonyi:
19 Adzachotsedwa ndi kamvuluvulu ndipo adzachita manyazi chifukwa cha nsembe zawo.
Embuyaga kyeziriva zibatwala, ne ssaddaaka zaabwe ne zibaswaza.”
