Hosea 7
1 Pose pandinoda kuporesa Israeri, zvivi zvaEfuremu zvinoiswa pachena uye mhosva dzeSamaria dzinobudiswa pachena. Vanoita zvounyengeri, mbavha dzinopaza dzimba, uye makororo anotorera vanhu zvinhu munzira;
Pamene ndichiritsa Israeli, machimo a Efereimu amaonekera poyera ndiponso milandu ya Samariya sibisika. Iwo amachita zachinyengo, mbala zimathyola nyumba, achifwamba amalanda anthu katundu mʼmisewu.
2 asi havazivi kuti ndinorangarira zvakaipa zvose zvavanoita. Zvivi zvavo zvinovakomberedza; zvinoramba zviri pamberi pangu nguva dzose.
Koma sazindikira kuti Ine ndimakumbukira zoyipa zawo zonse. Azunguliridwa ndi zolakwa zawo; ndipo sizichoka mʼmaso mwanga.
3 “Vanofadza mambo nezvakaipa zvavo, machinda nenhema dzavo.
“Anthuwa amasangalatsa mfumu ndi zoyipa zawozo, akalonga amasekerera mabodza awo.
4 Vose imhombwe, vanopisa sechoto, moto wacho usingadi mukanyi wechingwa kukuchidzira, kubva pakukanywa kwebundu rechingwa kusvikira chafuta.
Onsewa ndi anthu azigololo, otentha ngati moto wa mu uvuni, umene wophika buledi sasonkhezera kuyambira pamene akukanda buledi mpaka atafufuma.
5 Pazuva romutambo wamambo wedu machinda anorwara nokuda kwewaini, uye iye akabatana navaseki.
Pa tsiku la chikondwerero cha mfumu yathu akalonga amaledzera ndi vinyo, ndipo amalowa mʼgulu la anthu achipongwe.
6 Mwoyo yavo yakafanana nechoto; vanouya kwaari nounyengeri, ruchiva rwavo runonyeketa somoto usiku hwose; mangwanani ruchizopfuta serimi romoto.
Mitima yawo ili ngati uvuni; amayandikira Mulungu mwachiwembu. Ukali wawo umanyeka usiku wonse, mmawa umayaka ngati malawi a moto.
7 Vose zvavo vanopisa sechoto; vanoparadza vatongi vavo. Madzimambo avo ose anowira pasi, uye hapana kana mumwe wavo anodana kwandiri.
Onsewa ndi otentha ngati uvuni, amapha olamulira awo. Mafumu awo onse amagwa, ndipo palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amandiyitana Ine.
8 “Efuremu anovhengana namarudzi; Efuremu chingwa chitete chisina kushandurwa.
“Efereimu wasakanikirana ndi mitundu ya anthu ena; Efereimu ndi buledi amene wapsa mbali imodzi.
9 Vatorwa vakamusveta simba rake, asi iye haazvizivi. Bvudzi rake rava kuchena, asi iye haazvicherechedzi.
Alendo atha mphamvu zake, koma iye sakuzindikira. Tsitsi lake layamba imvi koma iye sakudziwa.
10 Kuzvikudza kwaIsraeri kunomupupurira zvakaipa, asi kunyange zvakadaro haadzoki kuna Jehovha Mwari wake kana kumutsvaka.
Kunyada kwake Israeli kukumutsutsa, koma pa zonsezi iye sakubwerera kwa Yehova Mulungu wake kapena kumufunafuna.
11 “Efuremu akaita senjiva, inonyengereka zviri nyore uye isina njere, zvino anodana kuIjipiti, mushure anoenda kuAsiria.
“Efereimu ali ngati nkhunda yopusa yopanda nzeru. Amayitana Igupto namapita ku Asiriya.
12 Pavachaenda, ndichakandira mumbure pamusoro pavo; ndichavakwevera pasi seshiri dzedenga. Pandichavanzwa vachibhururuka pamwe chete, ndichavabata.
Akamadzapita, ndidzawakola ndi ukonde wanga; ndidzawagwetsa pansi ngati mbalame zamumlengalenga. Ndikadzamva kuti asonkhana pamodzi ndidzawakola.
13 Vane nhamo, nokuti vakarasika vachibva kwandiri! Ngavaparadzwe, nokuti vakandipandukira! Ndinoshuva kuvadzikinura, asi vanondirevera nhema.
Tsoka kwa iwo, chifukwa andisiya Ine! Chiwonongeko kwa iwo, chifukwa andiwukira! Ndimafunitsitsa kuwapulumutsa koma amayankhula za Ine monama.
14 Havachemi kwandiri zvinobva pamwoyo yavo, asi vanoungudza vari panhoo dzavo. Vanounganira zviyo newaini itsva asi vanondifuratira.
Iwo salirira kwa Ine kuchokera pansi pa mtima, koma amalira mofuwula ali pa bedi pawo. Amadzichekacheka chifukwa chofuna tirigu ndi vinyo watsopano, koma amandifulatira.
15 Ndakavadzidzisa ndikavasimbisa, asi vanorangana kundiitira zvakaipa.
Ine ndinawaphunzitsa ndikuwalimbitsa, koma amandikonzera chiwembu.
16 Havadzokeri kuna iye Wokumusoro-soro; vakafanana nouta hunonyengera. Vatungamiri vavo vachaparadzwa nomunondo, nokuda kwamashoko avo ounhubu. Nokuda kwaizvozvi vachasekwa munyika yeIjipiti.
Iwo satembenukira kwa Wammwambamwamba; ali ngati uta woonongeka. Atsogoleri awo adzaphedwa ndi lupanga chifukwa cha mawu awo achipongwe. Motero iwo adzasekedwa mʼdziko la Igupto.
