Hosea 2
1 “Uti kuvanunʼuna vako, ‘Vanhu vangu,’ nokuhanzvadzi dzako ‘vadikanwa vangu.’”
“Nena kwa abale ako kuti, ‘Ndinu anthu anga,’ kwa alongo ako kuti ‘Ndinu okondedwa anga.’”
2 “Tsiurai mai venyu, vatsiurei, nokuti havasi mukadzi wangu, uye handisi murume wavo. Ngavabvise kuonekwa kwoufeve pachiso chavo nokusatendeka pakati pamazamu avo.
“Dzudzulani amayi anu, adzudzuleni iwo, pakuti si mkazi wanga, ndipo ine sindine mwamuna wake. Iyeyo achotse maonekedwe adama pa nkhope yake, ndi kusakhulupirika pa mawere ake.
3 Kana zvikasadaro, ndichavabvisa nguo dzose vagosara vakashama sezvavakanga vakaita musi wavakaberekwa. Ndichavaita segwenga ndigovashandura vave nyika yakaoma uye ndichavauraya nenyota.
Akapanda kutero ndidzamuvula, ndipo adzakhala wamaliseche monga tsiku limene anabadwa; ndidzamuwumitsa ngati chipululu, adzakhala ngati dziko lopanda madzi, ndi kumupha ndi ludzu.
4 Handizoratidzi vana vavo rudo, nokuti vana voufeve.
Sindidzaonetsa chikondi changa pa ana ake, chifukwa ndi ana a mʼchiwerewere.
5 Mai vavo vakanga vasina kutendeka uye vakavaberekera mune zvinonyadzisa. Vakati, ‘Ndichateverazve vadiwa vangu, vanondipa zvokudya zvangu nemvura yangu, makushe angu nomucheka wangu, mafuta angu nezvokunwa zvangu.’
Amayi awo akhala akuchita zachiwerewere ndipo anawabereka anawo akuchita zinthu zochititsa manyazi. Iwo anati, ‘Ine ndidzatsatira zibwenzi zanga, zimene zimandipatsa chakudya ndi madzi, ubweya ndi thonje, mafuta ndi chakumwa.’
6 Naizvozvo ndichasosera nzira yavo namasanzu eminzwa; ndichavapfigira mukati morusvingo zvokuti havangawani nzira yavo.
Choncho njira yake ndidzayitseka ndi minga; ndidzamuzinga ndi khoma kotero kuti sadzapezanso njira yotulukira.
7 Vachadzinganisa vadiwa vavo asi havangavabati; vachavatsvaka, asi havangavawani. Ipapo vachati, ‘Ndichadzokera kumurume wangu sapakutanga nokuti ipapo ndaiva nani kupfuura pari zvino.’
Adzathamangira zibwenzi zake koma sadzazipeza; adzazifunafuna koma sadzazipeza. Pamenepo iye adzati, ‘Ndibwerera kwa mwamuna wanga woyamba uja, pakuti ndinali pabwino ndi iyeyo kusiyanitsa ndi pano.’
8 Havana kuzvibvuma kuti ndini ndaivapa zviyo, newaini itsva namafuta, ndini ndakavapa sirivha negoridhe rakawanda izvo zvavakashandira Bhaari nazvo.
Iye sanazindikire kuti ndine amene ndinkamupatsa tirigu, vinyo watsopano ndi mafuta. Ndine amene ndinkamukhuthulira siliva ndi golide, zimene ankapangira mafano a Baala.
9 “Naizvozvo ndichavatorera zviyo zvangu kana zvaibva, newaini yangu itsva nenguva yayo. Ndichatora makushe angu nomucheka wangu zvaifanira kufukidza kushama kwavo.
“Choncho Ine ndidzamulanda tirigu wanga pa nthawi yokolola, ndi vinyo wanga watsopano pa nthawi yopsinya mphesa. Ndidzamulanda ubweya ndi thonje langa, zomwe akanaphimba nazo umaliseche wake.
10 Saka zvino ndichabudisa pachena unzenza hwavo pamberi pavadiwa vavo; hapana achazovatora kubva mumaoko angu.
Motero tsopano ndidzaonetsa maliseche ake pamaso pa zibwenzi zake; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe adzamupulumutse mʼmanja mwanga.
11 Ndichagumisa kupembera kwavo kwose: mitambo yavo yose yegore negore, nguva dzoKugara kwoMwedzi, maSabata avo nemitambo yavo yose yakatarwa.
Ndidzathetsa zikondwerero zake zonse: zikondwerero zake za chaka ndi chaka, za mwezi watsopano, za pa masiku a Sabata ndi maphwando ake onse a pa masiku okhazikitsidwa.
12 Ndichaparadza mizambiringa yavo nemiti yavo yemionde yakanga iri muripo waibva kuvadiwa vavo. Ndichazviita dondo, uye mhuka dzesango dzichazvidya.
Ndidzawononga mitengo yake ya mpesa ndi mitengo yake yamkuyu, imene iye ankanena kuti inali malipiro ake ochokera kwa zibwenzi zake. Ndidzayisandutsa chithukuluzi, ndipo zirombo zakuthengo zidzadya zipatsozo.
13 Ndichavaranga nokuda kwamazuva avakapisira zvinonhuhwira kuna Bhaari; vakazvishonga nemhete nezvishongo, vakatevera vadiwa vavo, asi ini vakandikanganwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Ndidzamulanga chifukwa cha masiku amene anafukiza lubani kwa Abaala; anadzikongoletsa povala mphete ndi mikanda yamtengowapatali ndipo anathamangira zibwenzi zake, koma Ine anandiyiwala,” akutero Yehova.
14 “Naizvozvo zvino ndichazovakwezva; ndichavatungamirira kurenje ndigotaura zvinyoronyoro kwavari.
“Koma tsopano ndidzamukopa mkaziyo; ndidzapita naye ku chipululu ndipo ndidzamuyankhula mwachikondi.
15 Ikoko ndichavadzosera minda yavo yemizambiringa uye ndichaita kuti mupata weAkori uve musuo wetariro. Ikoko vachaimba sapamazuva oumhandara hwavo, sapamazuva avakabuda kubva muIjipiti.
Kumeneko ndidzamubwezera minda yake ya mpesa, ndipo ndidzasandutsa Chigwa cha Akori kukhala khomo la chiyembekezo. Kumeneko iye adzayimba nyimbo monga mʼmasiku a ubwana wake, monga tsiku limene anatuluka ku Igupto.
16 “Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “Uchanditi ‘murume wangu;’ hauchazonditi ‘tenzi wangu.’
“Tsiku limeneli,” Yehova akuti, “udzandiyitana kuti, ‘Amuna anga;’ sudzandiyitananso kuti, ‘Mbuye wanga.’
17 Ndichabvisa mazita avanaBhaari pamiromo yavo; havangazodani kumazita avozve.
Ndidzachotsa mayina a Abaala pakamwa pake; sadzatchulanso mayina awo popemphera.
18 Pazuva iro ndichavaitira sungano nemhuka dzesango neshiri dzedenga uye nezvipuka zvinokambaira pasi. Uta nomunondo nehondo, ndichazvibvisa panyika kuti zvose zvivate pasi zvakachengetedzeka.
Tsiku limenelo ndidzachita pangano ndi zirombo zakuthengo ndi mbalame zamumlengalenga ndiponso zolengedwa zokwawa pansi kuti ziyanjane ndi anthu anga. Ndidzachotsa mʼdzikomo uta, lupanga ndi zida zonse zankhondo, kuti onse apumule mwamtendere.
19 Ndichatsidza kukuwana uve wangu nokusingaperi; ndichatsidza kukuwana mukururama uye nomukururamisira, murudo netsitsi.
Ndidzakutomera kuti ukhale mkazi wanga mpaka muyaya; ndidzakutomera mwachilungamo, mwaungwiro, mwachikondi ndi mwachifundo.
20 Ndichatsidza kukuwana mukutendeka, uye uchabvuma kuti ndini Jehovha.
Ndidzakutomera mokhulupirika ndipo udzadziwa Yehova.
21 “Pazuva iro ndichadavira,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndichadavira kumatenga uye ivo vachadavira kunyika;
“Tsiku limenelo Ine ndidzayankha,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzayankha mlengalenga pempho lake lofuna mitambo ndipo mvula idzagwa pa dziko lapansi;
22 nenyika ichadavira kuzviyo, waini itsva namafuta, uye izvo zvichadavira kuna Jezireeri.
ndipo nthaka idzamvera kupempha kwa tirigu, vinyo ndi mafuta, ndipo zidzamvera Yezireeli.
23 Ndichamusima panyika nokuda kwangu; ndicharatidza rudo kuno uyo wandakati ‘Haasiye wandinoda.’ Ndichati kuna avo vanonzi ‘Havasi vanhu vangu,’ ‘Muri vanhu vangu,’ uye ivo vachati, ‘Muri Mwari wangu.’”
Ndidzadzala Israeli mʼdziko kuti akhale wanga: ndidzaonetsa chikondi changa kwa anthu amene ndinkawatchula dzina loti, ‘Sakondedwa.’ Ndidzawawuza amene ndinkawatchula dzina loti, ‘Si anthu anga,’ kuti, ‘Ndinu anthu wanga;’ ndipo adzanena kuti, ‘ndinu Mulungu wathu,’”
