< Hosea 11 >
1 “Wakati Israeli alikuwa kijana nilimpenda, na nikamwita mtoto wangu kutoka Misri.
Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama mofavrema mani'nazage'na navesi'nezmante'na mofavreni'e hu'na Isipitira zamavare'noe.
2 Kwa kadiri waliyoitwa, ndivyo walivyoondoka kwangu. Wakawafanyia dhabihu Baali, wakatafuta uvumba kwa sanamu.
Hianagi Nagrama kema zamagriku'ma nehuge'za, mago'ane natre'za afete vu'naze. Ana nehu'za Bali havi anumzantaminte'ene kaza osu havi anumzantaminte'ene ofane mananentake zanena ome kremana vu'naze.
3 Lakini mimi ndio niliyemfundisha Efraimu kutembea. Ndiye niliyewainua kwa silaha zao, lakini hawakujua kwamba niliwajali.
Hagi Israeli vahera zamazantera Nagra zamavazu hu'na vano nehu'na, kama vanoma hu avu'ava zana rempi huzmi'noe. Hianagi Nagrama zamazeri knamare'noa zana ke'za antahi'za osu'naze.
4 Niliwaongoza kwa kamba za ubinadamu, na mafungo ya upendo. Mimi nilikuwa kama mtu aliyepunguza jozi juu ya taya zao, na nikainama na kuwalisha.
Nagra nasunku hunezmante'na navesi nezmante'na Israeli vahera zamavare'na vu'noe. Ana nehu'na zamanankempintira karenamare zafa eri netre'na, pri hu'na ne'zana zami'noe.
5 Je, hawatarudi nchi ya Misri? Je, Ashuru haitatawala juu yao kwa sababu wanakataa kurudi kwangu?
Zamagra ete rukrahera huza Isipia ovugahaze. Hianagi Asiria vahe'mo'za kegava huzmantegahaze. Na'ankure Nagrite'ma e'zankura zamavesra hu'nazagu anara hugahaze.
6 Upanga utaanguka juu ya miji yao na kuharibu makomeo ya milango yao; itawaangamiza kwa sababu ya mipango yao wenyewe.
Hanki rankumazmifina bainati kazinteti ha' vahe'mo'za eme ha' huzmante'za ku'ma kafazmia tapage hunetre'za, zamahe vagaregahaze. Ana hanageno antahintahima retro'ma hu'naza zamo'a amne zankna hugahie.
7 Watu wangu wameamua kuniacha. Ingawa wanaita kwa Aliye Juu, hakuna mtu atawasaidia.
Na'ankure Nagri vahe'mo'za natre'za rukrahe hu'za nevaze. Ana nehu'za Marerisga hunemo'e hu'za zamagra hugahazanagi, Nagra zamazeri so'ea osugahue.
8 Ninawezaje kukuacha, Efraimu? Ninawezaje kukupeleka, Israeli? Ninawezaje kukufanya kama Adma? Ninawezaje kukufanya kama Seboimu? Moyo wangu umebadilika ndani yangu; huruma zangu zote zimeongezeka.
Hagi Efraemi vahe'mota inankna hu'na tamatregahue? Inankna hu'na Isareli vahe'mota tamatregahue? Hagi inankna hu'na Adma kumate vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hu'noa zana hugahue? Hagi inankna hu'na Zeboimi kumate vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hu'noa zana hugahue? Nagra nagu'areti tusi'za hu'na nasunkura huramantoe.
9 Sitafanya hasira yangu kali; Mimi sitawaangamiza Efraimu tena. Kwa maana mimi ni Mungu, wala si mtu; Mimi ni Mtakatifu kati yenu, nami sitakuja katika ghadhabu.
Hagi narimpa ahe'zamo'ma tevema reana atrenugeno evuramina, Israeli vahera zamahe vaga'oregahue. Na'ankure Nagra vahetfana omani'noanki, Anumza mani'noe. Nagra Ruotage hu'noa Anumzama amu'nontamifima nemanua Anumzanki'na, Nagra narimpa aheramante'na e'na eme tamahe hanara osugahue.
10 Watanifuata, Bwana. Nitanguruma kama simba. Nami nitaomboleza, na watu watakuja wakitetemeka kutoka magharibi.
Mago knafina Ra Anumzamofona amage antegahaze. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na laionimo'ma nehiaza huna ranke nehanuge'za, mofavre naga'nimo'za zage fre kazigatira zamahirahiku nehu'za egahaze.
11 Watakuja wakitetemeka kama ndege kutoka Misri, kama njiwa kutoka nchi ya Ashuru. Nitawafanya wapate kuishi katika nyumba zao.” Hii ndiyo tamko la Bwana.
Hagi maho namamo'zama nehazaza huza Isipitira hare'za ne-esageno, Asiriati'ma maho namamo'za zamahirahiku nehu'za hare'za azankna nehanage'na, ete zamavare'na kumazamire ome zamatregahue hu'na Ra Anumzamo'na nehue.
12 Efraimu ananizunguka kwa maneno ya uongo, na nyumba ya Israeli kwa udanganyifu. Lakini Yuda bado anaendelea nami, Mungu, na ni mwaminifu kwangu, Mtakatifu.
Hagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za havigege huza nevazageno, Juda vahe'mofo Anumzamofo kea ontahi vano vano nehu'za Ruotge'ma Hu'nemofona zamagu'aretira hu'za avariri fatgoa nosaze.
