Hosea 10
1 A luxuriant vine, is Israel, fruit, beseemeth him, —According to the abundance of his fruit, hath he brought abundance to the altars, according to the goodliness of his land, hath he made goodly statues.
Israeli anali mpesa wotambalala; anabereka zipatso zambiri. Pamene zipatso zawo zinanka zichuluka, anawonjezera kumanga maguwa ansembe. Pamene dziko lake linkatukuka, anakongoletsa miyala yake yopatulika.
2 Hypocritical is their heart, Now, shall they be held guilty, —He, will break down their altars, he will destroy their statutes.
Mtima wawo ndi wonyenga ndipo tsopano ayenera kulangidwa chifukwa cha kulakwa kwawo. Yehova adzagumula maguwa awo ansembe ndi kuwononga miyala yawo yopatulika.
3 For, now, will they say, We have no king, —for we revere not Yahweh, and what could, a king, do for us?
Pamenepo anthuwo adzanena kuti, “Ife tilibe mfumu chifukwa sitinaope Yehova. Koma ngakhale tikanakhala ndi mfumu, kodi mfumuyo ikanatichitira chiyani?”
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely, in solemnizing a covenant, —therefore shall judgment, spring up like a poisonous plant, on the ridges of the field.
Mafumu amalonjeza zambiri, amalumbira zabodza pochita mapangano. Kotero maweruzo amaphuka ngati zitsamba zakupha mʼmunda umene walimidwa.
5 About the calves of Beth-aven, will the inhabitant of Samaria be concerned, —for the people thereof, have mourned over it, and, the ascetics thereof, who, over it, used to exult, [shall mourn] for the glory thereof, because it hath departed therefrom.
Anthu amene amakhala mu Samariya akuchita mantha chifukwa cha fano la mwana wangʼombe ku Beti-Aveni. Anthu ake adzalirira fanolo, chimodzimodzinso ansembe ake adamawo, amene anakondwera ndi kukongola kwake, chifukwa lachotsedwa pakati pawo ndi kupita ku ukapolo.
6 Itself also, to Assyria, shall be borne along, as a present to a hostile king, —shame, shall Ephraim receive, that Israel, may be ashamed, of his own counsel.
Fanolo lidzatengedwa kupita ku Asiriya ngati mphatso kwa mfumu yayikulu. Efereimu adzachititsidwa manyazi chifukwa cha mafano ake amitengo.
7 Silenced is Samaria: her king, is as a chip on the face of the waters,
Samariya ndi mfumu yake adzatengedwa kupita kutali ngati kanthambi koyenda pa madzi.
8 So shall the high places of Aven, be destroyed, the sin of Israel, Thorn and prickle, shall come up on their altars, —Therefore shall they say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall on us.
Malo opembedzerako mafano a ku Aveni adzawonongedwa. Ili ndiye tchimo la Israeli. Minga ndi mitungwi zidzamera ndi kuphimba maguwa awo ansembe. Kenaka anthu adzawuza mapiri kuti, “Tiphimbeni!” ndipo adzawuza zitunda kuti, “Tigwereni!”
9 Beyond the days of Gibeah, hast thou sinned, O Israel: there, came they to a stand, the battle against the sons of perversity, touched them not in Gibeah.
“Iwe Israeli, wachimwa kuyambira mʼmasiku a Gibeya, ndipo wakhala uli pomwepo. Kodi nkhondo sinagonjetse anthu ochita zoyipa ku Gibeya?
10 When I please, then will I chastise them, —and there shall be gathered together against them—peoples, they being harnessed to their two Iniquities;
Pamene ndifunire, ndidzalanga anthuwo; mitundu ya anthu idzasonkhanitsidwa kudzalimbana nawo, kuwayika mʼndende chifukwa cha uchimo wawo waukulu.
11 But, Ephraim, shall be a heifer broken in, loving to tread out corn, when, I, have passed over upon her fair neck, —I will drive Ephraim, Judah, shall plow, Jacob, shall harrow to him.
Efereimu ndi mwana wangʼombe wamkazi wophunzitsidwa amene amakonda kupuntha tirigu, choncho Ine ndidzayika goli mʼkhosi lake lokongolalo. Ndidzasenzetsa Efereimu goli, Yuda ayenera kulima, ndipo Yakobo ayenera kutipula.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap ye at the bidding of lovingkindness, furrow to yourselves the newly-ploughed soil, —then will be the time to seek Yahweh, until he come, that he may rain down righteousness for you.
Mufese nokha chilungamo ndipo mudzakolola chipatso cha chikondi changa chosasinthika. Ndipo tipulani munda wanu wosalimidwawo; pakuti ino ndi nthawi yofunafuna Yehova, mpaka Iye atabwera kudzakugwetserani mivumbi ya chilungamo.
13 Ye have plowed lawlessness, perversity, have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of deception, —because thou didst trust in thy chariots, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Koma inu munadzala zolakwa, mwakolola zoyipa; mwadya chipatso cha chinyengo. Chifukwa mumadalira mphamvu zanu ndiponso ankhondo anu ochulukawo,
14 Therefore shall there arise a tumult among thy peoples, and, all thy fortresses, shall be plundered, as Shalman plundered Beth-arbel, in the day of battle, —the mother, upon her children, dashed to the ground.
phokoso lankhondo lidzamveka pakati pa anthu anga kotero kuti malinga anu onse adzawonongeka, monga momwe Salimani anawonongera Beti-Aribeli pa nthawi ya nkhondo; pamene anapha amayi pamodzi ndi ana awo omwe.
15 Even so, hath Bethel, done to you, because of your exceeding wickedness, —in the dawn, shall the king of Israel be, utterly silenced.
Momwemonso zidzakuchitikira, iwe Beteli chifukwa kuyipa kwako ndi kwakukulu. Tsiku limeneli likadzafika, mfumu ya Israeli idzawonongedwa kwathunthu.
