Hosea 1
1 Neno la Bwana lililomjia Hosea mwana wa Beeri wakati wa utawala wa Uzia, Yothamu, Ahazi na Hezekia, wafalme wa Yuda, na wakati wa utawala wa Yeroboamu mwana wa Yehoashi, mfalme wa Israeli.
Naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Hosea, ko e foha ʻo Peli, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻUsia, mo Sotame, mo ʻAhasi, mo Hesekaia, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
2 Wakati Bwana alipoanza kuzungumza kupitia Hosea, Bwana alimwambia, “Nenda ukajitwalie mwanamke wa uzinzi na watoto wa uzinzi, kwa sababu nchi ina hatia ya uzinzi wa kupindukia kwa kumwacha Bwana.”
Ko hono kamataʻanga ʻoe folofola ʻa Sihova ia Hosea. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Hosea, “ʻAlu, ʻo ʻomi kiate koe ha uaifi mei he feʻauaki mo e fānau ʻae feʻauaki: he kuo fai ʻe he fonua ʻae feʻauaki lahi, ʻonau mahuʻi meia Sihova.”
3 Kwa hiyo alimwoa Gomeri binti Diblaimu, naye akachukua mimba na kumzalia Hosea mwana.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa Komela, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Tipilemi; pea naʻe tuituʻia ia mo fanauʻi ha tama tangata kiate ia.
4 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Hosea, “Mwite Yezreeli, kwa kuwa kitambo kidogo nitaiadhibu nyumba ya Yehu kwa ajili ya mauaji ya kule Yezreeli, nami nitaukomesha ufalme wa Israeli.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Sesilili; he ʻoku toetoe siʻi, pea te u totongi ʻae toto ʻo Sesilili ki he fale ʻo Sehu, pea te u fakangata ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
5 Katika siku ile nitavunja upinde wa Israeli katika Bonde la Yezreeli.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u fesiʻi ʻae kaufana ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.”
6 Gomeri akachukua tena mimba akamzaa binti. Kisha Bwana akamwambia Hosea, “Mwite Lo-Ruhama, kwa maana sitaonyesha tena upendo kwa nyumba ya Israeli, kwamba nisije kabisa nikawasamehe.
Pea naʻe toe tuituʻia ia, pea fanauʻi ha tama fefine. Pea naʻe pehē [ʻe he ʻOtua ]kiate ia, “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Loluhama: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻaloʻofa ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ka te u mātuʻaki ʻave ʻakinautolu.
7 Hata hivyo nitaonyesha upendo kwa nyumba ya Yuda, nami nitawaokoa si kwa upinde, upanga au vita, wala kwa farasi na wapanda farasi, bali kwa njia ya Bwana Mungu wao.”
Ka te u ʻaloʻofa ki he fale ʻo Siuta, pea te u fakamoʻui kinautolu ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakamoʻui ʻaki kinautolu ʻae kaufana, pe ko e heletā, pe ko e tau, pe ko e fanga hoosi, pe ko e kau tangata heka hoosi.”
8 Baada ya Gomeri kumwachisha Lo-Ruhama kunyonya, Gomeri alipata mwana mwingine.
Pea hili ʻene fakamāvae ʻa Loluhama, naʻa ne tuituʻia pea fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata.
9 Kisha Bwana akasema, “Mwite Lo-Ami kwa maana ninyi si watu wangu, nami si Mungu wenu.
Pea naʻe toki pehē [ʻe he ʻOtua], “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Loami: he ‘ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku kakai’ ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko homou ʻOtua au.
10 “Hata hivyo Waisraeli watakuwa kama mchanga kando ya bahari, ambao hauwezi kupimika wala kuhesabiwa. Mahali pale walipoambiwa, ‘Ninyi si watu wangu,’ wao wataitwa ‘wana wa Mungu aliye hai.’
Ka ko hono tokolahi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa fua pe lau; pea ʻe hoko ʻi he potu naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ko hoku kakai ʻakimoutolu,’ ʻe pehē ʻi ai kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e ngaahi foha ʻakimoutolu ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui.’
11 Watu wa Yuda na watu wa Israeli wataunganishwa tena, nao watamchagua kiongozi mmoja nao watakwea watoke katika nchi, kwa kuwa siku ya Yezreeli itakuwa kuu sana.
Pea ʻe toki tānaki fakataha ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ʻe tuʻutuʻuni ha ʻulu pe taha moʻonautolu, pea te nau haʻu mei he fonua: koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sesilili.
