Hosea 13
1 Efuremu akati ataura, vanhu vakadedera; iye akakudzwa muIsraeri. Asi akava nemhosva yokunamata Bhaari uye akafa.
Kale Efereimu ankati akayankhula, anthu ankanjenjemera; anali wolemekezeka mu Israeli. Koma analakwa popembedza Baala, motero anafa.
2 Zvino vanoramba vachingotadza; vanozviitira zvifananidzo zvakaumbwa nesirivha yavo, zviri zvifananidzo zvakaumbwa nenjere dzavo, zvose ari mabasa emhizha. Pamusoro pavanhu ava zvinonzi, “Vanobayira zvibayiro zvevanhu uye vanotsvoda zviumbwa zvemhuru.”
Tsopano akunka nachimwirachimwirabe; akudzipangira mafano pogwiritsa ntchito siliva wawo, zifanizo zopangidwa mwaluso, zonsezo zopangidwa ndi amisiri. Amanena za anthu awa kuti, “Amatenga munthu ndi kumupereka nsembe ndipo amapsompsona fano la mwana wangʼombe.”
3 Naizvozvo vachava semhute yamangwanani, sedova rinokurumidza kupera, sehundi inopeperetswa kubva paburiro, soutsi hunobuda napawindo.
Choncho adzakhala ngati nkhungu yammawa, ngati mame amene amakamuka msanga, ngati mungu wowuluka kuchokera pa malo opunthira tirigu, ngati utsi umene ukutulukira pa zenera.
4 “Asi ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva muIjipiti. Haungazovi nomumwe Mwari kunze kwangu; kana mumwe Muponesi kunze kwangu.
Koma Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mu Igupto. Simuyenera kudziwa Mulungu wina, koma Ine ndekha, palibe Mpulumutsi wina kupatula Ine.
5 Ndakakuchengeta murenje, munyika inopisa kwazvo.
Ndinakusamalira mʼchipululu, mʼdziko lotentha kwambiri.
6 Pandakavapa zvokudya, vakaguta; vakati vaguta, vakazvikudza ipapo vakandikanganwa.
Pamene ndinawadyetsa, iwo anakhuta; iwo atakhuta anayamba kunyada; ndipo anandiyiwala Ine.
7 Saka ndichauya kwavari seshumba, ndichavagarira panzira sembada,
Motero ndidzawalumphira ngati mkango, ndidzawabisalira mu msewu ngati kambuku.
8 Sebere ratorerwa vana varo, ndichavarwisa ndigovabvarura. Seshumba ndichavaparadza; chikara chesango chichavabvambura.
Ngati chimbalangondo cholandidwa ana ake, ndidzawambwandira ndi kuwathyolathyola. Ndidzawapwepweta ngati mkango; chirombo chakuthengo chidzawakhadzula.
9 “Waparadzwa iwe Israeri, nokuti unondirwisa, uchirwisa mubatsiri wako.
“Iwe Israeli, wawonongedwa, chifukwa ukutsutsana ndi Ine, ukutsutsana ndi mthandizi wako.
10 Mambo wako aripiko, kuti zvimwe angakuponesa? Vatongi vako varipiko mumaguta ako ose, avo vawakati, ‘Ndipei mambo namachinda’?
Kodi mfumu yako ili kuti, kuti ikupulumutse? Olamulira ako a mʼmizinda yonse ali kuti, amene iwe unanena za iwo kuti, ‘Patseni mfumu ndi akalonga?’
11 Saka mukutsamwa kwangu ndakakupa mambo, uye muhasha dzangu ndakamubvisa.
Choncho Ine ndinakupatsani mfumu mwachipseramtima, ndipo ndinayichotsa mwaukali.
12 Mhosva dzaEfuremu dzakaunganidzwa pamwe chete, zvivi zvake zvakachengetedzwa muzvinyorwa.
Kulakwa kwa Efereimu kwasungidwa, machimo ake alembedwa mʼbuku.
13 Kurwadziwa sekwomukadzi anosununguka kunosvika kwaari, asi uyu mwana asina uchenjeri; kana nguva dzasvika, haauyi kumusuo wechizvaro.
Zowawa zonga za mayi pa nthawi yobala mwana zamugwera, koma iye ndi mwana wopanda nzeru, pamene nthawi yake yobadwa yafika iyeyo safuna kutuluka mʼmimba mwa amayi ake.
14 “Ndichavadzikinura kubva pasimba reguva; ndichavadzikinura kubva parufu. Dziripiko hosha dzako, nhai rufu? Kuripiko kuparadza kwako, nhai guva? “Handingazovi netsitsi, (Sheol h7585)
“Ndidzawapulumutsa ku mphamvu ya manda; ndidzawawombola ku imfa. Kodi iwe imfa, miliri yako ili kuti? Kodi iwe manda, kuwononga kwako kuli kuti? “Sindidzachitanso chifundo, (Sheol h7585)
15 kunyange akabudirira pakati pamadzikoma ake. Mhepo yokumabvazuva yaJehovha ichauya, ichivhuvhuta ichibva kurenje; chitubu chake chichapwa uye tsime rake richaoma. Dura rake richapambwa zvose zvinokosha zviri mariri.
ngakhale Efereimu akondwe pakati pa abale ake, mphepo ya kummawa yochokera kwa Yehova idzabwera, ikuwomba kuchokera ku chipululu. Kasupe wake adzaphwa ndipo chitsime chake chidzawuma. Chuma chake chonse chamtengowapatali chidzafunkhidwa ndipo chidzatengedwa.
16 Vanhu veSamaria vanofanira kutakura mhaka yavo, nokuti vakamukira Mwari wavo. Vachaparadzwa nomunondo; vacheche vavo vacharoverwa pasi. Vakadzi vavo vane mimba vachatumburwa.”
Anthu a ku Samariya adzalangidwa chifukwa cha zolakwa zawo, chifukwa anawukira Mulungu wawo. Adzaphedwa ndi lupanga; ana awo adzaphedwa mowamenyetsa pansi, akazi awo oyembekezera adzatumbulidwa pa mimba.”
