Hosea 7
1 “When I give healing to Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have worked falsehood, And a thief comes in, A troop has stripped off in the street,
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 do not say to their heart, [That] I have remembered all their evil, Now their doings have surrounded them, They have been before My face.
asi havazivi kuti ndinorangarira zvakaipa zvose zvavanoita. Zvivi zvavo zvinovakomberedza; zvinoramba zviri pamberi pangu nguva dzose.
3 With their wickedness they make a king glad, And with their lies—princes.
“Vanofadza mambo nezvakaipa zvavo, machinda nenhema dzavo.
4 All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceases from stirring up after kneading the dough, until its leavening.
Vose imhombwe, vanopisa sechoto, moto wacho usingadi mukanyi wechingwa kukuchidzira, kubva pakukanywa kwebundu rechingwa kusvikira chafuta.
5 A day of our king! Princes have defiled themselves [with] the poison of wine, He has drawn out his hand with scorners.
Pazuva romutambo wamambo wedu machinda anorwara nokuda kwewaini, uye iye akabatana navaseki.
6 For they have drawn near, Their heart [is] as an oven In their lying in wait—their baker sleeps all night, Morning! He is burning as a flaming fire.
Mwoyo yavo yakafanana nechoto; vanouya kwaari nounyengeri, ruchiva rwavo runonyeketa somoto usiku hwose; mangwanani ruchizopfuta serimi romoto.
7 All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling to Me among them.
Vose zvavo vanopisa sechoto; vanoparadza vatongi vavo. Madzimambo avo ose anowira pasi, uye hapana kana mumwe wavo anodana kwandiri.
8 Ephraim! He mixes himself among peoples, Ephraim has been an unturned cake.
“Efuremu anovhengana namarudzi; Efuremu chingwa chitete chisina kushandurwa.
9 Strangers have devoured his power, And he has not known, Also old age has sprinkled [itself] on him, And he has not known.
Vatorwa vakamusveta simba rake, asi iye haazvizivi. Bvudzi rake rava kuchena, asi iye haazvicherechedzi.
10 And the excellence of Israel has been humbled to his face, And they have not turned back to their God YHWH, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
Kuzvikudza kwaIsraeri kunomupupurira zvakaipa, asi kunyange zvakadaro haadzoki kuna Jehovha Mwari wake kana kumutsvaka.
11 And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on—[to] Asshur they have gone.
“Efuremu akaita senjiva, inonyengereka zviri nyore uye isina njere, zvino anodana kuIjipiti, mushure anoenda kuAsiria.
12 When they go I spread over them My net, As the bird of the heavens I bring them down, I discipline them as their congregation has heard.
Pavachaenda, ndichakandira mumbure pamusoro pavo; ndichavakwevera pasi seshiri dzedenga. Pandichavanzwa vachibhururuka pamwe chete, ndichavabata.
13 Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
Vane nhamo, nokuti vakarasika vachibva kwandiri! Ngavaparadzwe, nokuti vakandipandukira! Ndinoshuva kuvadzikinura, asi vanondirevera nhema.
14 And have not cried to Me with their heart, but howl on their beds; They assemble themselves for grain and new wine, They turn aside against Me.
Havachemi kwandiri zvinobva pamwoyo yavo, asi vanoungudza vari panhoo dzavo. Vanounganira zviyo newaini itsva asi vanondifuratira.
15 And I instructed—I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
Ndakavadzidzisa ndikavasimbisa, asi vanorangana kundiitira zvakaipa.
16 They turn back—not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Their princes fall by sword, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] 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.
