Hosea 14
1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen down by thy iniquity.
Iwe Israeli bwerera kwa Yehova Mulungu wako. Machimo anu ndi amene akugwetsani!
2 Take with you words, and return to the Lord, and say to him: Take away all iniquity, and receive the good: and we will render the calves of our lips.
Bweretsani zopempha zanu ndipo bwererani kwa Yehova. Munene kwa Iye kuti, “Tikhululukireni machimo athu onse ndi kutilandira mokoma mtima, kuti tithe kukuyamikani ndi mawu a pakamwa pathu.
3 Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses, neither will we say any more: The works of our hands are our gods, for thou wilt have mercy on the fatherless that is in thee.
Asiriya sangatipulumutse; ife sitidzakwera pa akavalo ankhondo, sitidzanenanso kuti, ‘Milungu yathu’ kwa zimene manja athu omwe anazipanga, pakuti ndinu amene mumachitira chifundo ana amasiye.”
4 I will heal their breaches, I will love them freely: for my wrath is turned away from them.
Ine ndidzachiza kusakhulupirika kwawo ndipo ndidzawakonda mwaufulu pakuti ndaleka kuwakwiyira.
5 I will be as the dew, Israel shall spring as the lily, and his root shall shoot forth as that of Libanus.
Ndidzakhala ngati mame kwa Israeli Ndipo iye adzachita maluwa ngati kakombo. Adzazika mizu yake pansi ngati mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni;
6 His branches shall spread, and his glory shall be as the olive tree: and his smell as that of Libanus.
mphukira zake zidzakula. Kukongola kwake kudzakhala ngati mtengo wa olivi, kununkhira kwake ngati mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni.
7 They shall be converted that sit under his shadow: they shall live upon wheat, and they shall blossom as a vine: his memorial shall be as the wine of Libanus.
Anthu adzakhalanso mu mthunzi wake. Iye adzakula bwino ngati tirigu. Adzachita maluwa ngati mphesa ndipo kutchuka kwake kudzakhala ngati vinyo wochokera ku Lebanoni.
8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I will hear him, and I will make him flourish like a green fir tree: from me is thy fruit found.
Efereimu adzati, “Ndidzachita nawonso chiyani mafano? Ine ndidzamuyankha ndi kumusamalira. Ine ndili ngati mtengo wa payini wobiriwira; zipatso zako zimachokera kwa Ine.”
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know these things? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them.
Ndani ali ndi nzeru? Adzazindikire zinthu izi. Ndani amene amamvetsa zinthu? Adzamvetse izi. Njira za Yehova ndi zolungama; anthu olungama amayenda mʼmenemo, koma anthu owukira amapunthwamo.
