Osee 14
1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.
Iwe Israeli bwerera kwa Yehova Mulungu wako. Machimo anu ndi amene akugwetsani!
2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that you may not receive [the reward of] unrighteousness, but that you may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit 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 Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in you shall pity the orphan.
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 restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him.
Ine ndidzachiza kusakhulupirika kwawo ndipo ndidzawakonda mwaufulu pakuti ndaleka kuwakwiyira.
5 I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as 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 he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.
mphukira zake zidzakula. Kukongola kwake kudzakhala ngati mtengo wa olivi, kununkhira kwake ngati mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni.
7 They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim 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 What [has] he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is your 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 will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.
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.
