Hosea 7
1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, [and] the troop of robbers spoileth without.
Pose pandinoda kuporesa Israeri, zvivi zvaEfuremu zvinoiswa pachena uye mhosva dzeSamaria dzinobudiswa pachena. Vanoita zvounyengeri, mbavha dzinopaza dzimba, uye makororo anotorera vanhu zvinhu munzira;
2 And they consider not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
asi havazivi kuti ndinorangarira zvakaipa zvose zvavanoita. Zvivi zvavo zvinovakomberedza; zvinoramba zviri pamberi pangu nguva dzose.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
“Vanofadza mambo nezvakaipa zvavo, machinda nenhema dzavo.
4 They [are] all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, [who] ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
Vose imhombwe, vanopisa sechoto, moto wacho usingadi mukanyi wechingwa kukuchidzira, kubva pakukanywa kwebundu rechingwa kusvikira chafuta.
5 In the day of our king the princes have made [him] sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
Pazuva romutambo wamambo wedu machinda anorwara nokuda kwewaini, uye iye akabatana navaseki.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
Mwoyo yavo yakafanana nechoto; vanouya kwaari nounyengeri, ruchiva rwavo runonyeketa somoto usiku hwose; mangwanani ruchizopfuta serimi romoto.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: [there is] none among them that calleth unto me.
Vose zvavo vanopisa sechoto; vanoparadza vatongi vavo. Madzimambo avo ose anowira pasi, uye hapana kana mumwe wavo anodana kwandiri.
8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
“Efuremu anovhengana namarudzi; Efuremu chingwa chitete chisina kushandurwa.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
Vatorwa vakamusveta simba rake, asi iye haazvizivi. Bvudzi rake rava kuchena, asi iye haazvicherechedzi.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
Kuzvikudza kwaIsraeri kunomupupurira zvakaipa, asi kunyange zvakadaro haadzoki kuna Jehovha Mwari wake kana kumutsvaka.
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
“Efuremu akaita senjiva, inonyengereka zviri nyore uye isina njere, zvino anodana kuIjipiti, mushure anoenda kuAsiria.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
Pavachaenda, ndichakandira mumbure pamusoro pavo; ndichavakwevera pasi seshiri dzedenga. Pandichavanzwa vachibhururuka pamwe chete, ndichavabata.
13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Vane nhamo, nokuti vakarasika vachibva kwandiri! Ngavaparadzwe, nokuti vakandipandukira! Ndinoshuva kuvadzikinura, asi vanondirevera nhema.
14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, [and] they rebel against me.
Havachemi kwandiri zvinobva pamwoyo yavo, asi vanoungudza vari panhoo dzavo. Vanounganira zviyo newaini itsva asi vanondifuratira.
15 Though I have bound [and] strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
Ndakavadzidzisa ndikavasimbisa, asi vanorangana kundiitira zvakaipa.
16 They return, [but] not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this [shall be] their derision in the land of Egypt.
Havadzokeri kuna iye Wokumusoro-soro; vakafanana nouta hunonyengera. Vatungamiri vavo vachaparadzwa nomunondo, nokuda kwamashoko avo ounhubu. Nokuda kwaizvozvi vachasekwa munyika yeIjipiti.
