Hoseya 8
1 “Ika lipenga pakamwa pako. Ngati chiwombankhanga, kutsutsana ndi nyumba ya Yehova chifukwa anthu aphwanya pangano langa ndiponso agalukira lamulo langa.
“Isa hwamanda pamuromo wako! Gondo riri pamusoro pemba yaJehovha nokuti vanhu vakaputsa sungano yangu uye vakapandukira murayiro wangu.
2 Israeli akulirira kwa Ine kuti, ‘Inu Mulungu wathu, ife timakudziwani!’
VaIsraeri vanodana kwandiri vachiti, ‘Haiwa, Mwari wedu, tinokuzivai!’
3 Koma Israeli wakana zabwino; mdani adzamuthamangitsa.
Asi Israeri akaramba zvakanaka; muvengi achamutevera.
4 Amalonga mafumu mosatsata kufuna kwanga. Amasankha akalonga popanda chilolezo changa. Amadzipangira mafano asiliva ndi agolide koma adzawonongeka nawo.
Vanogadza madzimambo vasina kutenderwa neni; vanosarudza machinda pasina mvumo yangu. Vanozvigadzirira zvifananidzo nesirivha negoridhe ravo kuti vagoparadzwa.
5 Iwe Samariya, taya fano lako la mwana wangʼombe! Mkwiyo wanga wayakira anthuwo. Padzapita nthawi yayitali chotani asanasinthike kukhala oyera mtima?
Rasira kunze chifananidzo chako chemhuru, iwe Samaria! Kutsamwa kwangu kunopisa somoto pamusoro pavo. Vachasvika kupiko vasingagoni kuzvichenesa?
6 Mafanowa ndi ochokera ku Israeli! Mwana wa ngʼombe uyu anapangidwa ndi munthu waluso; si Mulungu amene anamupanga. Adzaphwanyidwa nʼkukhala zidutswa, mwana wangʼombe wa ku Samariya.
Izvi zvinobva kuIsraeri! Chimhuru ichi, chakagadzirwa nomupfuri, hachisi Mwari. Chichaputsika kuita zvimedu zvimedu, icho chimhuru cheSamaria.
7 “Aisraeli amadzala mphepo ndipo amakolola kamvuluvulu. Tirigu alibe ngala; sadzabala chakudya. Akanabala chakudya alendo akanadya chakudyacho.
“Vanodyara mhepo vachikohwa chamupupuri. Dzinde harina kubereka; haringabudisi upfu. Dai raizobereka zviyo, vatorwa vaizvimedza.
8 Israeli wamezedwa, tsopano ali pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ngati chinthu cha chabechabe.
Israeri yamedzwa; zvino yava pakati pendudzi sechinhu chisina maturo.
9 Pakuti iwo anapita ku Asiriya ngati mbidzi yongodziyendera pa yokha. Efereimu wadzigulitsa kwa zibwenzi zake.
Nokuti vakaenda kuAsiria sembizi inongombeya yoga. Efuremu akazvitengesa kuvadiwa.
10 Ngakhale wadzigulitsa pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, Ine ndidzawasonkhanitsa pamodzi. Iwo adzayamba kuzunzika pansi pa ulamuliro wankhanza wa mfumu yamphamvu.
Kunyange zvavo vakazvitengesa pakati pendudzi, ndichavaunganidza zvino pamwe chete. Vachatanga kuperezeka pasi poudzvinyiriri hwamambo ane simba guru.
11 “Ngakhale Efereimu anamanga maguwa ambiri a nsembe zoperekedwa chifukwa cha tchimo, maguwa amenewa akhala malo ochimwirapo.
“Kunyange Efuremu akavaka aritari zhinji dzezvipiriso zvechivi, idzi dzava aritari dzokuitira zvivi.
12 Ndinawalembera zinthu zambiri za malamulo anga, koma iwo anaziyesa ngati zinthu zachilendo.
Ndakavanyorera zvinhu zvakawanda zvomurayiro wangu, asi vakazvitora sezvinhu zvisinei navo.
13 Amapereka nsembe za nyama kwa Ine ndipo iwo amadya nyamayo, koma Yehova sakondwera nazo. Tsopano Iye adzakumbukira zoyipa zawo ndi kuwalanga chifukwa cha machimo awo: iwowo adzabwerera ku Igupto.
Vanopa zvibayiro kwandiri uye vodya nyama yacho, asi Jehovha haafadzwi navo. Zvino acharangarira uipi hwavo uye acharanga zvivi zvavo: Vachadzokera kuIjipiti.
14 Israeli wayiwala Mlengi wake ndipo wamanga nyumba zaufumu; Yuda wachulukitsa mizinda ya malinga. Koma Ine ndidzaponya moto pa mizinda yawoyo, moto umene udzatenthe malinga awo.”
Israeri akakanganwa Musiki wake ndokuvaka mizinda; Judha akomberedza maguta mazhinji namasvingo. Asi ndichatumira moto pamaguta avo uchaparadza masvingo avo.”
