Hosea 14
1 Turn back, O Israel, unto Jehovah thy God, For thou hast stumbled by thine iniquity.
Iwe Israeli bwerera kwa Yehova Mulungu wako. Machimo anu ndi amene akugwetsani!
2 Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah, Say ye unto Him: 'Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we do render 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 Asshur doth not save us, on a horse we ride not, Nor do we say any more, Our God, to the work of our hands, For in Thee find mercy doth the fatherless.'
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 heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.
Ine ndidzachiza kusakhulupirika kwawo ndipo ndidzawakonda mwaufulu pakuti ndaleka kuwakwiyira.
5 I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.
Ndidzakhala ngati mame kwa Israeli Ndipo iye adzachita maluwa ngati kakombo. Adzazika mizu yake pansi ngati mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni;
6 Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And he hath fragrance as Lebanon.
mphukira zake zidzakula. Kukongola kwake kudzakhala ngati mtengo wa olivi, kununkhira kwake ngati mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni.
7 Return do the dwellers under his shadow, They revive [as] corn, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.
Anthu adzakhalanso mu mthunzi wake. Iye adzakula bwino ngati tirigu. Adzachita maluwa ngati mphesa ndipo kutchuka kwake kudzakhala ngati vinyo wochokera ku Lebanoni.
8 O Ephraim, what to Me any more with idols? I — I afflicted, and I cause him to sing: 'I [am] as a green fir-tree,' From Me is thy 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 doth understand these? Prudent, and knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble 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.
