Hosea 13
1 Efuremu akati ataura, vanhu vakadedera; iye akakudzwa muIsraeri. Asi akava nemhosva yokunamata Bhaari uye akafa.
When spoke Ephraim trembling he lifted up he in Israel and he became guilty by Baal and he died.
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.”
And now - they increase to sin and they have made for themselves a molten image from silver their according to skill their idols [is the] work of craftsmen all of it of them they [are] saying [those who] offer sacrifice of humankind calves they will kiss!
3 Naizvozvo vachava semhute yamangwanani, sedova rinokurumidza kupera, sehundi inopeperetswa kubva paburiro, soutsi hunobuda napawindo.
Therefore they will become like a cloud of [the] morning and like dew rising early going like chaff [which] it is storm-driven from a threshing floor and like smoke from a window.
4 “Asi ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva muIjipiti. Haungazovi nomumwe Mwari kunze kwangu; kana mumwe Muponesi kunze kwangu.
And I [am] Yahweh God your from [the] land of Egypt and gods besides me not you must know and [is] a deliverer there not except me.
5 Ndakakuchengeta murenje, munyika inopisa kwazvo.
I I knew you in the wilderness in a land of drought.
6 Pandakavapa zvokudya, vakaguta; vakati vaguta, vakazvikudza ipapo vakandikanganwa.
According to pasture their and they were satisfied they were satisfied and it was exalted heart their there-fore they forgot me.
7 Saka ndichauya kwavari seshumba, ndichavagarira panzira sembada,
And I became to them like a lion like a leopard on a road I will watch.
8 Sebere ratorerwa vana varo, ndichavarwisa ndigovabvarura. Seshumba ndichavaparadza; chikara chesango chichavabvambura.
I will meet them like a bear robbed of cubs so I may tear [the] cavity of heart their and I will devour them there like a lion animal of the field it will tear to pieces them.
9 “Waparadzwa iwe Israeri, nokuti unondirwisa, uchirwisa mubatsiri wako.
It will destroy you O Israel for in me in helper your.
10 Mambo wako aripiko, kuti zvimwe angakuponesa? Vatongi vako varipiko mumaguta ako ose, avo vawakati, ‘Ndipei mambo namachinda’?
Where? [is] king your then so he may save you in all cities your and rulers your whom you said give! to me a king and leaders.
11 Saka mukutsamwa kwangu ndakakupa mambo, uye muhasha dzangu ndakamubvisa.
I gave to you a king in anger my so I may take [him] away in wrath my.
12 Mhosva dzaEfuremu dzakaunganidzwa pamwe chete, zvivi zvake zvakachengetedzwa muzvinyorwa.
[is] bound up [the] iniquity of Ephraim [is] stored up sin his.
13 Kurwadziwa sekwomukadzi anosununguka kunosvika kwaari, asi uyu mwana asina uchenjeri; kana nguva dzasvika, haauyi kumusuo wechizvaro.
[the] pains of [one who] gives birth They will come to him he [is] a son not wise if a time not he will present himself at birth of children.
14 “Ndichavadzikinura kubva pasimba reguva; ndichavadzikinura kubva parufu. Dziripiko hosha dzako, nhai rufu? Kuripiko kuparadza kwako, nhai guva? “Handingazovi netsitsi, (Sheol h7585)
From [the] hand of Sheol will I ransom? them from death will I redeem? them where? [are] thorns your O death where? [is] destruction your O Sheol compassion it will be hidden from eyes my. (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.
For he a son brothers he flourishes it will come an east wind [the] wind of Yahweh from [the] wilderness [is] about to come up and it may be withered spring his so it may be dried up spring his it it will plunder [the] treasury of every article of preciousness.
16 Vanhu veSamaria vanofanira kutakura mhaka yavo, nokuti vakamukira Mwari wavo. Vachaparadzwa nomunondo; vacheche vavo vacharoverwa pasi. Vakadzi vavo vane mimba vachatumburwa.”
It will be held guilty Samaria for it has rebelled against God its by the sword they will fall children their they will be dashed in pieces and pregnant [women] its they will be ripped open.
