Hosea 2
1 “Waambie ndugu zako, ‘Watu wangu,’ na pia waambie dada zako, ‘Wapendwa wangu.’
Say to brothers your people my and to sisters your she is Shown Compassion.
2 “Mkemeeni mama yenu, mkemeeni, kwa maana yeye si mke wangu, nami si mume wake. Aondoe sura ya uzinzi katika uso wake na uzinzi kati ya matiti yake.
Conduct a case with mother your conduct a case for she not [is] wife my and I not [am] husband her and let her remove prostitution her from face her and adulteries her from between breasts her.
3 Kama sivyo nitamvua nguo zake awe uchi na kumwacha uchi kama siku ile aliyozaliwa. Nitamfanya kama jangwa, nitamgeuza awe nchi ya kiu, nami nitamuua kwa kiu.
Lest I should strip her naked and I will exhibit her like [the] day was born she and I will make her like wilderness and I will make her like a land dry and I should make die her with thirst.
4 Sitaonyesha upendo wangu kwa watoto wake, kwa sababu ni watoto wa uzinzi.
And children her not I will have compassion on for [are] children of prostitution they.
5 Mama yao amekosa uaminifu na amewachukua mimba katika aibu. Gomeri alisema, ‘Nitawaendea wapenzi wangu, ambao hunipa chakula changu na maji yangu, sufu yangu na kitani yangu, mafuta yangu na kinywaji changu.’
For she has prostituted herself mother their she has acted shamefully [the] [one who] conceived them for she said I will go after lovers my [who] give food my and water my wool my and flax my oil my and drinks my.
6 Kwa hiyo mimi Mungu nitaizuia njia yake kwa vichaka vya miiba, nitamjengea ukuta ili kwamba asiweze kutoka.
Therefore here I [am] about to fence up way your with thorns and I will wall up wall her and paths her not she will find.
7 Gomeri atawafuatia wapenzi wake lakini hatawapata; atawatafuta lakini hatawapata. Kisha atasema, ‘Nitarudi kwa mume wangu kama kwanza, kwa maana nilikuwa na hali njema zaidi kuliko sasa.’
And she will pursue lovers her and not she will overtake them and she will seek them and not she will find [them] and she will say I will go and I will return to husband my former for it was good for me then more than now.
8 Gomeri hajakubali kuwa mimi ndiye niliyempa nafaka, divai mpya na mafuta, niliyemwongezea fedha na dhahabu waliyoitumia kwa kumtumikia Baali.
And she not she knows that I I gave to her the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and silver I multiplied to her and gold [which] they made into Baal.
9 “Kwa hiyo nitachukua nafaka yangu wakati itakapokomaa na divai yangu mpya wakati itakapokuwa tayari. Nitamnyangʼanya sufu yangu na kitani yangu iliyokusudiwa kufunika uchi wake.
Therefore I will return and I will take grain my at appropriate time its and new wine my at appointed time its and I will take away wool my and flax my to cover nakedness her.
10 Basi sasa nitaufunua ufisadi wake mbele ya wapenzi wake; hakuna yeyote atakayemtoa mikononi mwangu.
And now I will uncover lewdness her to [the] eyes of lovers her and anyone not he will deliver her from hand my.
11 Nitakomesha furaha na macheko yake yote: sikukuu zake za mwaka, sikukuu za Miandamo ya Mwezi, siku zake za Sabato, sikukuu zake zote zilizoamriwa.
And I will put an end to all gaiety her festival[s] her new moon[s] her and sabbath[s] her and every appointed feast her.
12 Nitaiharibu mizabibu yake na mitini yake, ambayo alisema yalikuwa malipo yake kutoka kwa wapenzi wake; nitaifanya kuwa kichaka, nao wanyama pori wataila.
And I will devastate vine[s] her and fig tree[s] her which she said [are] wage[s] they of me which they gave to me lovers my and I will make them into a thicket and it will consume them [the] animal[s] of the field.
13 Nitamwadhibu kwa ajili ya siku alizowafukizia uvumba Mabaali; alipojipamba kwa pete na kwa vito vya thamani, na kuwaendea wapenzi wake, lakini mimi alinisahau,” asema Bwana.
And I will visit on her [the] days of the Baals when she made smoke to them and she ornamented herself ring[s] her and jewelry her and she went after lovers her and me she forgot [the] utterance of Yahweh.
14 “Kwa hiyo sasa nitamshawishi; nitamwongoza hadi jangwani na kuzungumza naye kwa upole.
Therefore here! I [am] about to persuade her and I will lead her the wilderness and I will speak (to *L(abh)*) heart her.
15 Huko nitamrudishia mashamba yake ya mizabibu, nami nitalifanya Bonde la Akori mlango wa matumaini. Huko ataimba kama alivyofanya katika siku za ujana wake, kama siku zile alizotoka Misri.
And I will give to her vineyards her from there and [the] valley of Achor to a door of hope and she will answer there like [the] days of youth her and like [the] day went up she from [the] land of Egypt.
16 “Katika siku ile,” asema Bwana, “utaniita mimi ‘Mume wangu’; hutaniita tena mimi ‘Bwana wangu.’
And it will be in the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh you will call husband my and not you will call me again Baal my.
17 Nitaondoa majina ya Mabaali kutoka midomoni mwake, wala hataomba tena kwa majina yao.
And I will remove [the] names of the Baals from mouth her and not they will be remembered again by name their.
18 Katika siku ile nitafanya Agano kwa ajili yao na wanyama wa kondeni, na ndege wa angani, na viumbe vile vitambaavyo ardhini. Upinde, upanga na vita, nitaondolea mbali katika nchi, ili kwamba wote waweze kukaa salama.
And I will make to them a covenant in the day that with [the] animal[s] of the field and with [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] creeping thing[s] of the ground and bow and sword and battle I will break from the land and I will make lie down them to security.
19 Nitakuposa uwe wangu milele; nitakuposa kwa uadilifu na haki, kwa upendo na huruma.
And I will betroth you to myself for ever and I will betroth you to myself in righteousness and in justice and in covenant loyalty and in compassion.
20 Nitakuposa kwa uaminifu, nawe utamkubali Bwana.
And I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness and you will know Yahweh.
21 “Katika siku ile nitajibu,” asema Bwana, “nitajibu kwa anga, nazo anga zitajibu kwa nchi;
And it will be - in the day that I will answer [the] utterance of Yahweh I will answer the heavens and they they will answer the earth.
22 nayo nchi itajibu kwa nafaka, divai mpya na mafuta, navyo vitajibu kwa Yezreeli.
And the earth it will answer the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and they they will answer Jezreel.
23 Nitampanda katika nchi kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe; nami nitaonyesha pendo langu kwake yule ambaye nilimwita, ‘Si mpenzi wangu.’ Nitawaambia wale walioitwa, ‘Sio watu wangu,’ ‘Ninyi ni watu wangu’; nao watasema, ‘Wewe ndiwe Mungu wangu.’”
And I will sow her for myself in the land and I will have compassion on Lo-Ruhamah and I will say to Not-People My [are] people my you and he he will say God my.
