Osee 11
1 Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
“Israeli ali mwana, ndinamukonda, ndipo ndinayitana mwana wanga kuti atuluke mu Igupto.
2 As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
Koma ndimati ndikamapitiriza kuyitana iwo amandithawa kupita kutali. Ankapereka nsembe kwa Abaala ndipo ankafukiza lubani kwa mafano.
3 Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
Ndi Ine amene ndinaphunzitsa Efereimu kuyenda, ndipo ndinawagwira pa mkono; koma iwo sanazindikire kuti ndine amene ndinawachiritsa.
4 When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man striking [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
Ndinawatsogolera ndi zingwe zachifundo cha anthu ndi zomangira za chikondi; ndinachotsa goli mʼkhosi mwawo ndipo ndinawerama nʼkuwadyetsa.
5 Ephraim lived in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
“Sadzabwerera ku Igupto, koma Asiriya ndiye adzakhala mfumu yawo pakuti akana kutembenuka.
6 And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
Malupanga adzangʼanima mʼmizinda yawo, ndipo adzawononga mipiringidzo ya zipata zawo nadzathetseratu malingaliro awo.
7 and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
Anthu anga atsimikiza zondifulatira Ine. Ngakhale atayitana Wammwambamwamba, sizidzatheka kuti Iye awakwezenso.
8 How shall I deal with you, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect you, Israel? what shall I do with you? I will make you as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
“Kodi ndingakusiye bwanji iwe Efereimu? Kodi ndingakupereke bwanji iwe Israeli? Kodi ndingakuchitire bwanji zimene ndinachitira Adima? Kodi ndingathe bwanji kukuchitira zimene ndinachitira Zeboimu? Mtima wanga wakana kutero; chifundo changa chonse chikusefukira.
9 I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within you: and I will not enter into the city.
Sindidzalola kuti ndikulange ndi mkwiyo wanga woopsa, kapena kutembenuka ndi kuwononga Efereimu. Pakuti Ine ndine Mulungu osati munthu, Woyerayo pakati panu. Sindidzabwera mwaukali.
10 I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
Iwo adzatsatira Yehova; Iye adzabangula ngati mkango. Akadzabangula, ana ake adzabwera akunjenjemera kuchokera kumadzulo.
11 They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, says the Lord.
Adzabwera akunjenjemera ngati mbalame kuchokera ku Igupto, ngati nkhunda kuchokera ku Asiriya. Ine ndidzawakhazikanso mʼnyumba zawo,” akutero Yehova.
12 Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
Efereimu wandizungulira ndi mabodza, nyumba ya Israeli yandizungulira ndi chinyengo. Ndipo Yuda wawukira Mulungu, wawukira ngakhale Woyerayo amene ndi wokhulupirika.
