Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
“Israeri paakanga achiri muduku, ndaimuda, uye ndakadana mwanakomana wangu kubva kuIjipiti.
2 The more the prophets called them, the more they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Asi pandakanyanya kuvadana, vakatonyanya kunditiza. Vakabayira kuna vanaBhaari uye vakapisira zvinonhuhwira kuzvifananidzo.
3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them on my arms, but they did not know that I healed them.
Ndini ndakadzidzisa Efuremu kufamba, ndichivasesedza namaoko avo; asi havana kuzvicherechedza kuti ndini ndakavarapa.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love, and I was to them as those who lift up the yoke on their jaws. And I laid food before them.
Ndakavatungamirira nerwodzi rwounyoro hwomunhu, nezvisungo zvorudo; ndakasimudza joko kubva pamutsipa wavo ndikakotama kuti ndivape zvokudya:
5 They shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to return to me.
“Havangadzokerizve kuIjipiti uye vaAsiria havangavatongi here nokuti vakaramba kutendeuka?
6 And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
Minondo ichapenya mumaguta avo, ichaparadza mazariro pamasuo avo uye ichagumisa zvirongwa zvavo.
7 And my people are bent on backsliding from me. Though they call them to him who is on high, none at all will exalt him.
Vanhu vangu vazvipira kutsauka vachibva kwandiri. Kunyange dai vakadana kuna Iye Wokumusoro-soro, haangatongovasimudziri kunyange nenzira ipi zvayo.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I cast thee off, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me. My compassions are kindled together.
“Ndinokuregedza seiko, Efuremu? Ndingakuendesa seiko, Israeri? Ndingakuitireiko saAdhima? Ndingakuenzanisa sei naZebhoimi? Mwoyo wangu washanduka mukati mangu; tsitsi dzangu dzose dzamutswa.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee, and I will not come in wrath.
Handingazadzisi kutsamwa kwangu kukuru kana kutendeuka kuti ndiparadze Efuremu. Nokuti ndiri Mwari, kwete munhu, Mutsvene pakati penyu. Handingauyi ndakatsamwa.
10 They shall walk after Jehovah, who will roar like a lion. For he will roar, and the sons shall come trembling from the west.
Vachatevera Jehovha; achaomba seshumba. Paachaomba, vana vake vachauya vachidedera vachibva kumadokero.
11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria. And I will make them to dwell in their houses, says Jehovah.
Vachauya vachidedera seshiri vachibva kuIjipiti, senjiva vachibva kuAsiria. Ndichavagarisa mudzimba dzavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
12 Ephraim encompasses me around with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit, but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.
Efuremu andikomberedza nenhema, imba yaIsraeri nounyengeri. Uye Judha akasindimara pamberi paMwari, kunyange pamberi paIye Mutsvene Akatendeka.
