< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel [is] an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
Israeri akanga ari muzambiringa unotanda; akazviberekera zvibereko. Zvibereko zvake pazvakawanda, akavakawo aritari dzakawanda; nyika yake payakabudirira, akashongedzawo matombo ake anoera.
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
Mwoyo wavo unonyengera, uye zvino vanofanira kutakura mhosva yavo. Jehovha achaputsa aritari dzavo uye achaparadza matombo avo akaereswa.
3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
Ipapo vachati, “Hatina mambo nokuti hatina kukudza Jehovha. Asi kunyange taiva namambo, angadai akatiitireiko?”
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Vanovimbisa zvakawanda, vanoita mhiko dzenhema uye vanoita zvibvumirano; naizvozvo mhosva dzinoendeswa kudare dzinomera sebise rinouraya mumunda wakarimwa.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof [that] rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
Vanhu vanogara muSamaria vanotyira chifananidzo chemhuru chaBheti Avheni. Vanhu vacho vachachichema, ndizvo zvichaitawo vaprista vanonamata chifananidzo chacho; ivavo vakafarira kukudzwa kwacho, nokuti vachachitorerwa chigoendeswa kuutapwa.
6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria [for] a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Chichatakurwa chigoendeswa kuAsiria somutero kuna mambo mukuru. Efuremu achanyadziswa; Israeri achanyarawo nokuda kwezvifananidzo zvakavezwa.
7 [As for] Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
Samaria namambo wayo ichaeredzwa sechimuti pamusoro pemvura.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
Nzvimbo dzakakwirira dzouipi dzichaparadzwa, ichi ndicho chivi chaIsraeri. Minzwa norukato zvichamera zvigofukidza aritari dzavo. Ipapo vachati kumakomo, “Tifukidzei!” nokuzvikomo, “Wirai pamusoro pedu!”
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
“Kubva pamazuva eGibhea, wakatadza, iwe Israeri, uye ukarambirapo. Hondo haina kukunda vaiti vezvakaipa paGibhea here?
10 [It is] in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
Nenguva yandinoda ndichavaranga; ndudzi dzichaungana kuti dzivarwise dzivaise muusungwa nokuda kwezvivi zvavo zviviri.
11 And Ephraim [is as] an heifer [that is] taught, [and] loveth to tread out [the corn; ] but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, [and] Jacob shall break his clods.
Efuremu itsiru rakapingudzwa rinofarira kupura; saka ndichaisa joko pamutsipa waro wakanaka. Ndichatinha Efuremu, Judha anofanira kurima, uye Jakobho anofanira kuputsa mavhinga acho.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for [it is] time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Zvidyarirei kururama, kohwai chibereko chorudo rusingaperi, mugorima gombo renyu; nokuti inguva yokutsvaka Jehovha, kusvikira auya kuzonayisa utsvene pamusoro penyu.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Asi makarima uipi, mukacheka zvakaipa, makadya zvibereko zvounyengeri, nokuti makavimba nesimba renyu uye navarwi venyu vakawanda,
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon [her] children.
kuomba kwehondo kuchamukira vanhu venyu, zvokuti masvingo enyu ose achaparadzwa, sokuparadzwa kwakaitwa Bheti Aribheri neSharimani pazuva rokurwa, vanamai pavakapanhirwa pasi pamwe chete navana vavo.
15 So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
Ndizvo zvichaitika kwauri, iwe Bheteri, nokuti uipi hwako hukuru. Kana zuva iroro roswedera, mambo weIsraeri achaparadzwa zvachose.
