Hosea 5
1 Hear this O priests and pay attention - O house of Israel and O house of the king give ear for [belongs] to you the judgment for a trap you have been to Mizpah and a net spread out over Tabor.
“Inzwai izvi, imi vaprista! Teererai, imi vaIsraeri! Teerera, iwe imba youmambo! Ndiwe uri kutongwa: Wakanga uri musungo paMizipa, mumbure wakatambanudzwa paTabhori.
2 And slaughtering rebels they have made deep and I [am] discipline to all of them.
Vapanduki vari mushishi rokuuraya. Ndichavaranga vose.
3 I I know Ephraim and Israel not it is hidden from me for now you have prostituted yourself O Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
Ndinoziva zvose zviri pamusoro paEfuremu; Israeri haina kuvanzika kwandiri. Efuremu, watendeukira zvino kuufeve; Israeri aora.
4 Not they permit deeds their to return to God their for a spirit of prostitution [is] in inner being their and Yahweh not they know.
“Zviito zvavo hazvivatenderi kudzokera kuna Mwari wavo. Mweya woufeve uri mumwoyo yavo; havazivi Jehovha.
5 And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and Israel and Ephraim they will stumble on iniquity their it will stumble also Judah with them.
Kuzvikudza kwaIsraeri kunovapa mhosva; vaIsraeri, kunyange Efuremu, vanogumburwa muchivi chavo; Judha anogumburwawo pamwe chete navo.
6 With flock[s] their and with herd[s] their they will go to seek Yahweh and not they will find [him] he has withdrawn from them.
Pavachaenda namakwai nemombe dzavo kundotsvaka Jehovha, havazomuwani; azvibvisa kwavari.
7 With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.
Havana kutendeka kuna Jehovha; vanobereka vana voupombwe. Zvino mitambo yavo yoKugara kwoMwedzi ichavadya pamwe chete neminda yavo.
8 Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.
“Ridzai hwamanda paGibhea, norunyanga paRama. Ridzai mhere yehondo paBheti Avheni; tungamira pamberi, iwe Bhenjamini.
9 Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.
Efuremu achaparadzwa pazuva rokutongwa. Pakati pamarudzi aIsraeri ndinozivisa zvinhu zvechokwadi.
10 They have become [the] leaders of Judah like [those who] displace a boundary on them I will pour out like water wrath my.
Vatungamiri vaJudha vakafanana neavo vanobvisa mabwe omuganhu. Ndichadurura hasha dzangu pavari samafashamu emvura.
11 [is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.
Efuremu adzvinyirirwa atsikwa-tsikwa mukutongwa, nokuti akada kutevera zvifananidzo.
12 And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.
Ndakafanana nechipfukuto kuna Efuremu, sokuora kuvanhu veJudha.
13 And he saw Ephraim sickness his and Judah wound his and he went Ephraim to Assyria and he sent to king Jareb and he not he is able to heal you and not it will depart from you [the] wound.
“Efuremu paakaona kurwara kwake, naJudha maronda ake, Efuremu ndipo paakatendeukira kuAsiria, akatuma nhume kuna mambo mukuru kundotsvaka rubatsiro. Asi haagoni kukurapa, haagoni kuporesa mavanga ako.
14 For I [will be] like lion to Ephraim and like young lion to [the] house of Judah I I I will tear to pieces and I may go I will carry off and there not [will be] a deliverer.
Nokuti ndichava seshumba kuna Efuremu, seshumba huru kuna Judha. Ndichavabvambura kuita zvidimbu zvidimbu ndigoenda; ndichaenda navo pagoshaya anovarwira.
15 I will go I will return to place my until that they will be held guilty and they will seek face my when it is distress to them they will seek earnestly me.
Mushure maizvozvo ndichadzokera kunzvimbo yangu, kusvikira vabvuma mhosva yavo. Uye vachatsvaka chiso changu; pakutambudzika kwavo vachanditsvaka nomwoyo wose.”
