Hooseʼaa 3
1 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Namni biraa ishee jaallatee isheen sagaagaltuu taatu iyyuu, ati dhaqiitii ammas niitii keetti jaalala kee argisiisi. Akkuma Waaqayyoo utuma isaan waaqota biraatti deebiʼanii bixxillee wayinii jaallatanuu Israaʼeloota jaallate sana atis ishee jaalladhu.”
UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Hamba, utshengisele uthando lwakho kumkakho futhi, lanxa nje ethandwa ngomunye njalo eyisifebekazi. Mthande njengoThixo ethanda abako-Israyeli, lanxa baphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu njalo bethanda amakhekhe ezithelo ezonyisiweyo.”
2 Kanaafuu ani meetii saqilii kudha shaniin, garbuu hoomeerii tokkoo fi walakkaatiin ishee nan bitadhe.
Ngakho ngamthenga ngamashekeli esiliva alitshumi lanhlanu langokwakuphosa kube lihomeri leletheki lebhali.
3 Ani ergasii akkana nan jedheen; “Ati bara hedduu na wajjin jiraachuu qabda; ati sagaagaltuu taʼuu yookaan nama kam iyyuu wajjin tokko taʼuu hin qabdu; ani si wajjin nan jiraadha.”
Ngasengisithi kuye, “Uzahlala lami insuku ezinengi; akumelanga ube yisifebe loba wembathe lenye indoda, lami ngizahlala lawe.”
4 Israaʼeloonni mootii yookaan ilma mootii malee, aarsaa yookaan utubaa waaqeffannaa malee dirata yookaan waaqota tolfamoo malee bara baayʼee ni jiraatuutii.
Ngoba abako-Israyeli bazahlala insuku ezinengi bengelankosi kumbe inkosana, bengelamhlatshelo kumbe amatshe angcwele, bengelasembatho semahlombe kumbe isithombe.
5 Ergasii immoo Israaʼeloonni deebiʼanii Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitii fi Daawit mootii isaanii barbaadu. Isaan bara dhumaa keessa hollachaa gara Waaqayyootii fi gara eebba isaa ni dhufu.
Muva abako-Israyeli bazaphenduka bamdinge uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo kanye loDavida inkosi yabo. Bazakuza kuThixo beqhaqhazela kanye lasezibusisweni zakhe ensukwini zokucina.
