Hosea 8
1 “Isa hwamanda pamuromo wako! Gondo riri pamusoro pemba yaJehovha nokuti vanhu vakaputsa sungano yangu uye vakapandukira murayiro wangu.
To mouth your a horn like eagle over [the] house of Yahweh because they have transgressed covenant my and on law my they have rebelled.
2 VaIsraeri vanodana kwandiri vachiti, ‘Haiwa, Mwari wedu, tinokuzivai!’
To me they cry out O God my we know you Israel.
3 Asi Israeri akaramba zvakanaka; muvengi achamutevera.
It has rejected Israel good an enemy he will pursue him.
4 Vanogadza madzimambo vasina kutenderwa neni; vanosarudza machinda pasina mvumo yangu. Vanozvigadzirira zvifananidzo nesirivha negoridhe ravo kuti vagoparadzwa.
They they have made kings and not from me they have installed leaders and not I knew silver their and gold their they have made for themselves idols so that it may be cut off.
5 Rasira kunze chifananidzo chako chemhuru, iwe Samaria! Kutsamwa kwangu kunopisa somoto pamusoro pavo. Vachasvika kupiko vasingagoni kuzvichenesa?
He has rejected calf your O Samaria it has burned anger my on them until when? not will they be able innocence.
6 Izvi zvinobva kuIsraeri! Chimhuru ichi, chakagadzirwa nomupfuri, hachisi Mwari. Chichaputsika kuita zvimedu zvimedu, icho chimhuru cheSamaria.
For [are] from Israel and it a craftsman he made it and not [is] God it for fragments it will become [the] calf of Samaria.
7 “Vanodyara mhepo vachikohwa chamupupuri. Dzinde harina kubereka; haringabudisi upfu. Dai raizobereka zviyo, vatorwa vaizvimedza.
For a wind they sow and a storm-wind they will reap standing grain not [belongs] to it growth not it will produce flour perhaps it will produce strangers they will swallow it.
8 Israeri yamedzwa; zvino yava pakati pendudzi sechinhu chisina maturo.
It will be swallowed Israel now they are among the nations like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it.
9 Nokuti vakaenda kuAsiria sembizi inongombeya yoga. Efuremu akazvitengesa kuvadiwa.
For they they have gone up Assyria a wild donkey isolated to itself Ephraim they have hired (lovers *L(abh)*)
10 Kunyange zvavo vakazvitengesa pakati pendudzi, ndichavaunganidza zvino pamwe chete. Vachatanga kuperezeka pasi poudzvinyiriri hwamambo ane simba guru.
also for they will hire among the nations now I will gather them and they have begun a few from [the] burden of a king princes.
11 “Kunyange Efuremu akavaka aritari zhinji dzezvipiriso zvechivi, idzi dzava aritari dzokuitira zvivi.
For he has multiplied Ephraim altars for sinning they have become to him altars for sinning.
12 Ndakavanyorera zvinhu zvakawanda zvomurayiro wangu, asi vakazvitora sezvinhu zvisinei navo.
(I wrote *Q(k)*) for him ([the] numerous things of *Q(K)*) law my like a strange [thing] they are regarded.
13 Vanopa zvibayiro kwandiri uye vodya nyama yacho, asi Jehovha haafadzwi navo. Zvino acharangarira uipi hwavo uye acharanga zvivi zvavo: Vachadzokera kuIjipiti.
[the] sacrifices of Gifts my they sacrifice flesh and they ate [it] Yahweh not he is pleased with them now he will remember iniquity their so he may punish sins their they Egypt they will return.
14 Israeri akakanganwa Musiki wake ndokuvaka mizinda; Judha akomberedza maguta mazhinji namasvingo. Asi ndichatumira moto pamaguta avo uchaparadza masvingo avo.”
And he has forgotten Israel maker his and he has built palaces and Judah he has multiplied cities fortified and I will send fire on cities his and it will consume fortresses his.
