Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.
Iwe Israeli, usakondwere; monga imachitira mitundu ina. Pakuti wakhala wosakhulupirika kwa Mulungu wako; umakonda malipiro a chiwerewere pa malo aliwonse opunthira tirigu.
2 The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
Malo opunthira tirigu ndi malo opsinyira mphesa sadzadyetsa anthu; adzasowa vinyo watsopano.
3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.
Sadzakhalanso mʼdziko la Yehova. Efereimu adzabwerera ku Igupto ndipo mudzadya chakudya chodetsedwa ku Asiriya.
4 They shall not offer wine -[offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices [shall be] to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
Iwo sadzaperekanso chopereka cha chakumwa kwa Yehova, kapena nsembe zawo kuti akondweretse Yehovayo. Nsembe zotere zidzakhala kwa iwo ngati chakudya cha anamfedwa; onse akudya chakudya chimenechi adzakhala odetsedwa. Chakudya ichi chidzakhala chodya okha, sichidzalowa mʼnyumba ya Yehova.
5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
Kodi mudzachita chiyani pa tsiku la maphwando anu oyikika; pa masiku a zikondwerero za Yehova?
6 For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.
Ngakhale iwo atathawa chiwonongeko, Igupto adzawasonkhanitsa, ndipo Mefisi adzawayika mʼmanda. Khwisa adzamera pa ziwiya zawo zasiliva, ndipo minga idzamera mʼmatenti awo.
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.
Masiku achilango akubwera, masiku obwezera ali pafupi. Israeli adziwe zimenezi. Chifukwa machimo anu ndi ochuluka kwambiri ndipo udani wanu pa Mulungu ndi waukulu kwambiri. Mneneri amamuyesa chitsiru, munthu wanzeru za kwa Mulungu ngati wamisala.
8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.
Mneneri pamodzi ndi Mulungu wanga ndiwo alonda a Efereimu, koma mneneri amutchera misampha mʼnjira zake zonse, ndipo udani ukumudikira mʼnyumba ya Mulungu wake.
9 They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Iwo azama mu zachinyengo monga masiku a Gibeya. Mulungu adzakumbukira zolakwa zawo ndipo adzawalanga chifukwa cha machimo awo.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.
“Pamene ndinamupeza Israeli zinali ngati kupeza mphesa mʼchipululu. Nditaona makolo anu, zinali ngati ndikuona nkhuyu zoyambirira kupsa. Koma atafika ku Baala Peori, anadzipereka ku fano lija lochititsa manyazi ndipo anakhala onyansa ngati chinthu chimene anachikondacho.
11 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Ulemerero wa Efereimu udzawuluka ngati mbalame. Sipadzakhalanso kubereka ana, kuyembekezera kapena kutenga pathupi.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Ngakhale atalera ana ndidzachititsa kuti mwana aliyense amwalire. Tsoka kwa anthuwo pamene Ine ndidzawafulatira!
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
Ndaona Efereimu ngati Turo, atadzalidwa pa nthaka ya chonde. Koma Efereimu adzatsogolera ana ake kuti akaphedwe.”
14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Inu Yehova, muwapatse. Kodi mudzawapatsa chiyani? Apatseni mimba yomangopita padera ndi mawere owuma.
15 All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.
“Chifukwa cha zoyipa zawo zonse ku Giligala, Ine ndinawada kumeneko. Chifukwa cha machitidwe awo auchimo, ndidzawapirikitsa mʼnyumba yanga. Sindidzawakondanso; atsogoleri awo onse ndi owukira.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
Efereimu wathedwa, mizu yake yauma sakubalanso zipatso. Ngakhale atabereka ana, Ine ndidzapha ana awo okondedwawo.”
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Mulungu wanga adzawakana chifukwa sanamumvere Iye; adzakhala oyendayenda pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
