Hoseya 9
1 Iwe Israeli, usakondwere; monga imachitira mitundu ina. Pakuti wakhala wosakhulupirika kwa Mulungu wako; umakonda malipiro a chiwerewere pa malo aliwonse opunthira tirigu.
Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy Elohim, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
2 Malo opunthira tirigu ndi malo opsinyira mphesa sadzadyetsa anthu; adzasowa vinyo watsopano.
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
3 Sadzakhalanso mʼdziko la Yehova. Efereimu adzabwerera ku Igupto ndipo mudzadya chakudya chodetsedwa ku Asiriya.
They shall not dwell in YHWH 's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
4 Iwo sadzaperekanso chopereka cha chakumwa kwa Yehova, kapena nsembe zawo kuti akondweretse Yehovayo. Nsembe zotere zidzakhala kwa iwo ngati chakudya cha anamfedwa; onse akudya chakudya chimenechi adzakhala odetsedwa. Chakudya ichi chidzakhala chodya okha, sichidzalowa mʼnyumba ya Yehova.
They shall not offer wine offerings to YHWH, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of YHWH.
5 Kodi mudzachita chiyani pa tsiku la maphwando anu oyikika; pa masiku a zikondwerero za Yehova?
What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of YHWH?
6 Ngakhale iwo atathawa chiwonongeko, Igupto adzawasonkhanitsa, ndipo Mefisi adzawayika mʼmanda. Khwisa adzamera pa ziwiya zawo zasiliva, ndipo minga idzamera mʼmatenti awo.
For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
7 Masiku achilango akubwera, masiku obwezera ali pafupi. Israeli adziwe zimenezi. Chifukwa machimo anu ndi ochuluka kwambiri ndipo udani wanu pa Mulungu ndi waukulu kwambiri. Mneneri amamuyesa chitsiru, munthu wanzeru za kwa Mulungu ngati wamisala.
The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
8 Mneneri pamodzi ndi Mulungu wanga ndiwo alonda a Efereimu, koma mneneri amutchera misampha mʼnjira zake zonse, ndipo udani ukumudikira mʼnyumba ya Mulungu wake.
The watchman of Ephraim was with my Elohim: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his Elohim.
9 Iwo azama mu zachinyengo monga masiku a Gibeya. Mulungu adzakumbukira zolakwa zawo ndipo adzawalanga chifukwa cha machimo awo.
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 “Pamene ndinamupeza Israeli zinali ngati kupeza mphesa mʼchipululu. Nditaona makolo anu, zinali ngati ndikuona nkhuyu zoyambirira kupsa. Koma atafika ku Baala Peori, anadzipereka ku fano lija lochititsa manyazi ndipo anakhala onyansa ngati chinthu chimene anachikondacho.
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
11 Ulemerero wa Efereimu udzawuluka ngati mbalame. Sipadzakhalanso kubereka ana, kuyembekezera kapena kutenga pathupi.
As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Ngakhale atalera ana ndidzachititsa kuti mwana aliyense amwalire. Tsoka kwa anthuwo pamene Ine ndidzawafulatira!
Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13 Ndaona Efereimu ngati Turo, atadzalidwa pa nthaka ya chonde. Koma Efereimu adzatsogolera ana ake kuti akaphedwe.”
Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
14 Inu Yehova, muwapatse. Kodi mudzawapatsa chiyani? Apatseni mimba yomangopita padera ndi mawere owuma.
Give them, O YHWH: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 “Chifukwa cha zoyipa zawo zonse ku Giligala, Ine ndinawada kumeneko. Chifukwa cha machitidwe awo auchimo, ndidzawapirikitsa mʼnyumba yanga. Sindidzawakondanso; atsogoleri awo onse ndi owukira.
All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
16 Efereimu wathedwa, mizu yake yauma sakubalanso zipatso. Ngakhale atabereka ana, Ine ndidzapha ana awo okondedwawo.”
Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17 Mulungu wanga adzawakana chifukwa sanamumvere Iye; adzakhala oyendayenda pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
My Elohim will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
