Hosea 14
1 O Israel, returne vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen by thine iniquitie.
Iwe Israeri, dzokera kuna Jehovha Mwari wako. Zvivi zvako ndizvo zvakauyisa kuwa kwako!
2 Take vnto you words, and turne to the Lord, and say vnto him, Take away all iniquitie, and receiue vs graciously: so wil we render the calues of our lippes.
Endai namashoko uye mudzokere kuna Jehovha. Muti kwaari: “Regererai zvivi zvedu zvose mutigamuchire nenyasha, kuti tigopa zvibereko zvemiromo yedu.
3 Asshur shall not saue vs, neither wil we ride vpon horses, neither will we say any more to the worke of our handes, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherlesse findeth mercie.
Asiria haingatiponesi; hatingatasvi mabhiza ehondo. Hatizombotizve, ‘Vamwari vedu’ kune zvakagadzirwa namaoko edu chaiwo, nokuti nherera dzinowana tsitsi mamuri.”
4 I wil heale their rebellion: I wil loue them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
“Ndichaporesa kusateerera kwavo uye ndichangovada hangu, nokuti hasha dzangu dzabva kwavari.
5 I will be as the dewe vnto Israel: he shall grow as the lilie and fasten his rootes, as the trees of Lebanon.
Ndichava sedova kuna Israeri; achatunga seruva remahapa. Somusidhari weRebhanoni achadzikisa midzi yake;
6 His branches shall spread, and his beautie shalbe as the oliue tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
mabukira ake achakura. Kunaka kwake kuchafanana nekwomuti womuorivhi, kunhuhwira kwake sekwomusidhari weRebhanoni.
7 They that dwel vnder his shadow, shall returne: they shall reuiue as the corne, and florish as the vine: the sent thereof shalbe as the wine of Lebanon.
Vanhu vachagarazve mumumvuri wake. Achabudirira sezviyo. Achatunga maruva somuzambiringa, uye mbiri yake ichafanana newaini yeRebhanoni.
8 Ephraim shall say, What haue I to doe any more with idoles? I haue heard him, and looked vpon him: I am like a greene firre tree: vpon me is thy fruite founde.
Nhai Efuremu, ndichineiko chokuita nezvifananidzo? Ndichamupindura uye ndichamuchengeta. Ndakafanana nomuti womupaini wakasvibira; kubereka kwako kunobva kwandiri.”
9 Who is wise, and he shall vnderstande these things? and prudent, and he shall knowe them? for the wayes of the Lord are righteous, and the iust shall walke in them: but the wicked shall fall therein.
Ndiani akachenjera? Achacherechedza zvinhu izvi. Ndiani anonzvera? Achazvinzwisisa. Nzira dzaJehovha dzakarurama; vakarurama vanofamba madziri, asi vatadzi vanogumburwa madziri.
