Hosea 9
1 Rega kufara, iwe Israeri; rega kupembera sezvinoita dzimwe ndudzi. Nokuti hauna kunge wakatendeka kuna Mwari wako; unofarira mubayiro wechifeve, pamapuriro ose.
Iwe Israeli, usakondwere; monga imachitira mitundu ina. Pakuti wakhala wosakhulupirika kwa Mulungu wako; umakonda malipiro a chiwerewere pa malo aliwonse opunthira tirigu.
2 Mapuriro nezvisviniro zvewaini hazvingagutsi vanhu. Waini itsva ichavanyengera.
Malo opunthira tirigu ndi malo opsinyira mphesa sadzadyetsa anthu; adzasowa vinyo watsopano.
3 Havangarambi vari munyika yaJehovha; Efuremu achadzokera kuIjipiti agodya zvokudya zvakasvibiswa muAsiria.
Sadzakhalanso mʼdziko la Yehova. Efereimu adzabwerera ku Igupto ndipo mudzadya chakudya chodetsedwa ku Asiriya.
4 Havangadiri zvipiriso zvewaini kuna Jehovha, uye zvibayiro zvavo hazvingamufadzi. Zvibayiro zvakadai zvichava kwavari sechingwa chavanochema; vose vanozvidya vachava vakasvibiswa. Zvokudya izvi zvichava zvavo; hazvingaunzwi mutemberi yaJehovha.
Iwo sadzaperekanso chopereka cha chakumwa kwa Yehova, kapena nsembe zawo kuti akondweretse Yehovayo. Nsembe zotere zidzakhala kwa iwo ngati chakudya cha anamfedwa; onse akudya chakudya chimenechi adzakhala odetsedwa. Chakudya ichi chidzakhala chodya okha, sichidzalowa mʼnyumba ya Yehova.
5 Muchaiteiko pazuva rakatarwa remitambo yenyu, pamazuva emitambo yaJehovha?
Kodi mudzachita chiyani pa tsiku la maphwando anu oyikika; pa masiku a zikondwerero za Yehova?
6 Kunyange dai vakapunyuka kubva pakuparadzwa, Ijipiti ichavaunganidza, uye Memufisi ichavaviga. Matura avo esirivha achafukidzwa norukato, uye minzwa ichamera mumatende avo.
Ngakhale iwo atathawa chiwonongeko, Igupto adzawasonkhanitsa, ndipo Mefisi adzawayika mʼmanda. Khwisa adzamera pa ziwiya zawo zasiliva, ndipo minga idzamera mʼmatenti awo.
7 Mazuva okurangwa ari kuuya, mazuva okutsiva ava pedyo. Israeri ngaazvizive izvi. Nokuti zvivi zvako zvizhinji kwazvo uye ukasha hwako hwakakura kwazvo. Muprofita anoonekwa sebenzi, nomurume ano mweya somunhu anopenga.
Masiku achilango akubwera, masiku obwezera ali pafupi. Israeli adziwe zimenezi. Chifukwa machimo anu ndi ochuluka kwambiri ndipo udani wanu pa Mulungu ndi waukulu kwambiri. Mneneri amamuyesa chitsiru, munthu wanzeru za kwa Mulungu ngati wamisala.
8 Muprofita, pamwe chete naMwari wangu, ndiye nharirire yaEfuremu, asi zvakadaro misungo yakamumirira panzira dzake dzose, uye ruvengo muimba yaMwari wake.
Mneneri pamodzi ndi Mulungu wanga ndiwo alonda a Efereimu, koma mneneri amutchera misampha mʼnjira zake zonse, ndipo udani ukumudikira mʼnyumba ya Mulungu wake.
9 Vanyura kwazvo kwazvo muhuori, sapamazuva eGibhea. Mwari acharangarira uipi hwavo uye achavaranga nokuda kwezvivi zvavo.
Iwo azama mu zachinyengo monga masiku a Gibeya. Mulungu adzakumbukira zolakwa zawo ndipo adzawalanga chifukwa cha machimo awo.
10 “Pandakawana Israeri, zvakanga zvakafanana nokuwana mazambiringa murenje; pandakaona madzibaba enyu, zvakanga zvakaita sokuona zvibereko zvokutanga pamuti womuonde. Asi pavakauya kuBhaari Peori, vakazvitsaura kuti vazviise kuchiumbwa ichocho chinonyadzisa, vakava vasina maturo uye vakafanana nechinhu chavakada.
“Pamene ndinamupeza Israeli zinali ngati kupeza mphesa mʼchipululu. Nditaona makolo anu, zinali ngati ndikuona nkhuyu zoyambirira kupsa. Koma atafika ku Baala Peori, anadzipereka ku fano lija lochititsa manyazi ndipo anakhala onyansa ngati chinthu chimene anachikondacho.
11 Kukudzwa kwaEfuremu kuchabhururuka seshiri, pasina kubereka, pasina pamuviri, pasina kubata pamuviri.
Ulemerero wa Efereimu udzawuluka ngati mbalame. Sipadzakhalanso kubereka ana, kuyembekezera kapena kutenga pathupi.
12 Kunyange zvavo vakarera vana, ndichavauraya vose mumwe nomumwe. Vachava nenhamo pandichavafuratira!
Ngakhale atalera ana ndidzachititsa kuti mwana aliyense amwalire. Tsoka kwa anthuwo pamene Ine ndidzawafulatira!
13 Ndakaona Efuremu, seTire, akasimwa panzvimbo yakanaka. Asi Efuremu achabudisa vana vake kumuurayi.”
Ndaona Efereimu ngati Turo, atadzalidwa pa nthaka ya chonde. Koma Efereimu adzatsogolera ana ake kuti akaphedwe.”
14 Vapei, imi Jehovha, zvino muchavapeiko? Vapei zvibereko zvinopfupfudzika namazamu akaoma.
Inu Yehova, muwapatse. Kodi mudzawapatsa chiyani? Apatseni mimba yomangopita padera ndi mawere owuma.
15 “Nokuda kwouipi hwavo hwose muGirigari, ndakavavenga ikoko. Nokuda kwamabasa avo akaipa, ndichavadzinga kubva mumba mangu. Handichazovadazve; vatungamiri vavo vose vakapanduka.
“Chifukwa cha zoyipa zawo zonse ku Giligala, Ine ndinawada kumeneko. Chifukwa cha machitidwe awo auchimo, ndidzawapirikitsa mʼnyumba yanga. Sindidzawakondanso; atsogoleri awo onse ndi owukira.
16 Efuremu arohwa, mudzi wavo wasvava, havabereki chibereko. Kunyange vakabereka vana, ndichauraya vana vavo ivava vavanodisa.”
Efereimu wathedwa, mizu yake yauma sakubalanso zipatso. Ngakhale atabereka ana, Ine ndidzapha ana awo okondedwawo.”
17 Mwari wangu achavaramba nokuti havana kumuteerera; vachava vadzungairi pakati pendudzi.
Mulungu wanga adzawakana chifukwa sanamumvere Iye; adzakhala oyendayenda pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
